Warning - I just got back from vacation and will be reviewing everything I've missed like a woman possessed. That includes this story and anything else you might have written in the past 11 days...
Loved "anger"...Pam challenging Jim with "you had no right" is what I picture could happen.
Author's Response: IMHO - We don't see near enough AngryJim or Pam. Welcome back from vacation!!!

I loved this entire story. I liked that Pam recognized Jim was perfect, but the way he loved her was. Great point and very realistic. I'm sad this story is over, but look forward to your future fics.
Author's Response: Awww. Thanks TV_Buffy! As for what's next - I'm reallllly anxious to see how close - if at all - any of us have gotten to what happens in S3. The anticipation is very near killing me.

Ca we order a Jim like we can order a Dwight bobblehead?
Author's Response: From your lips to God's ears samsmom. I think he's incredibly backordered though. ;)

Jim is perfect, isn't he? This has been lovely from beginning to end. Beautiful job. I'm sorry to see it end, too!
Author's Response: Pretty damn near close nqllisi!! And thank you. I'm so very glad you thought so.

So lovely. This is definitely one of my favorites of yours, and I'm sad it's over! I'm glad Pam was FINALLY able to figure it out. And this:
She knows now that even in the dead of winter he is unbelievably warm
Really makes me want to snuggle with Jim Halpert. But I digress. Great job!!
Author's Response: Thanks pennylane! Yay for Pam who finally "gets it". I mean honestly. She needs to wise up. Hee for Jim snuggles. How wonderful would THAT be????

No, say it's not so. I hate when things I love to read end (hence my preference for novels over short stories.) Well, sweet and true to the very end.
Author's Response: I know. It's like you go through withdrawal isn't it?? I see you started something new so at least I'll be able to fill my time with that. LOL! That and finishing the Pool Party fic. So glad you liked it!

Awwww, great ending! I love that he kept a sketch book in his bag.
Author's Response: Thanks Jonah5! He's just too adorable isn't he???

He's so perfect for her and it's about time she stopped being insecure and realized it. Such a lovely chapter and a happy ending! *sigh*
Author's Response: Amen to that. Thanks Par5!! I'm so glad you liked it!
Date: August 31, 2006 04:06 pm Title: Commencement
Ah, I'm a bit sad it is over, but it was a joy to read. I lvoe happy endings. :)
Author's Response: I'm quite fond of them myself. ;) Thanks!!!

soooo good! I liked how he was resistant at first and made her work for it. The line you wrote after her telling him she loved him, when he ducked his head and smiled--for some reason, I could totally picture that momtent--and I loved it!
Also good: rougher making out, leading to commenting on how it wasn't weird, then having it get a little weird, but then going back to bliss. Awesome. Liked where you stopped too--as much as I lurve the smut, it is nice to read a more pg-13 story every now and then! Well done, per usual!
Author's Response: Thanks Boof! I think we're all agreeing Pam needs to - depending on how the premiere goes - make amends to Jim BIG TIME in S3. When I wrote that Jim moment I could totally see him in my mind so I'm glad it came across. Thanks for letting me know the semi-smut worked. I always get so antsy about that!!

God that was awesome! I really loved the chapter when they were at the wedding. It may not be canon but it really, really fits the character of Jim and I loved how Pam realized how amazing he really is and finally decided she was doing a crap job of showing it. That explanation is canon in my mind now, lol. Great job!
Author's Response:
Thanks kristendotcom! I think that chapter might have been my favorite. I'm of the opinion that Pam needs to get with the program and I could totally see her not fully realizing what she had until she'd actually been with him a while. I'm so glad you liked it too!!

You know how I have pledged my love and devotion to this story! :) This chapter certainly did not disappoint. I liked seeing Jim put some barriers to protect himself. It was great to see Pam having to deal with the consequences of her actions. Oh, and a little sexy moment thrown in has never hurt anyone. ;)
Author's Response: :) I thought it was about time he put up a little defense. And yay! for sexy moments. Thanks MA!

Hugs - I love this story! The stages are believable and spot on. You're such an amazing writer. Can't wait to read the last chapter.
Author's Response: Aw thanks TV_Buffy!! You humble me. I really think I'm just an overly obsessed Office fan with a keyboard. LOL! Next chapter soon!!
Date: August 30, 2006 12:18 pm Title: Acceptance
Loved this chapter! A little bit angry/fed-up Jim, then sweet, playful Jim. Perfection!
Author's Response: I myself think of that as the perfect combination. LOL! Glad you agree!

Yay! It was all that I hoped for and more! I really didn't expect for him to be inside the apartment. Cute. Loved this!
Author's Response: Thanks proposals!! I'm glad I surprised you!

I'm loving this so much! I meant to tell you earlier that I think your explanation re: Jim's parents/his father is really so believable. This chapter was pure fun -- and also very realistic.
Author's Response: Thanks girl7! I just kept thinking something had to happen. I'm glad you found it believable.

More more more. Jim was so beautifully written. I just want to squeeze him.
Author's Response: There is quite a long line for the Jim squeezing. Take a number gotkona. ;) LOL! I'm glad you liked it.

Jim is utterly defenseless against her, isn't he? He tried his best, though- leaving her out there for 20 minutes.
I'm glad he (and you!) made Pam have to be the brave one. He risks his heart every time he even talks to her- it's time we see that same strength from her.
Author's Response:
He certainly is. And I almost had them passing each other in the night - with him leaving that drive thru to go to her but ulitmately I liked this version better.
This is totally my Pam steps up fic. :) I think you'll like the next chapter too. Well...I hope! Thanks nqllisi!

i really have nothing else to say about your writing except that i love you :) especially liked how you made this a bit difficult for pam. and the ending...i have no words.
Author's Response: Aww yipee that's too sweet! I'm so glad you liked it!
Date: August 30, 2006 07:46 am Title: Acceptance
That is exactly how it would be! Pam has anger issues and this was dead on. Loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks Jonah5 - I'm so glad you thought so!!

Oh man. This chapter just gave me goosebumps. I really liked that Jim wouldn't make it easy for Pam- which, after all he's been through makes total sense. I just can't believe this means this story is almost over.
Author's Response: Hee! You saying that gives ME goosebumps. I know - I'm sad - for all sorts of reasons...specifically because I think as the premiere grows closer I'm all Post Casino Night-ed out. :( Never fear. I'm sure something else will inspire me. :)

Yay for resolution on all that angst earlier! Love it!
Author's Response: C'mon. You kinda figured that I would make up for it didn't you?? LOL! Thanks!

Chiming in late and with nothing original to say. Great chapter! I also really liked the "this is why" part. Made me tear up. I don't know what's happening to me. I normally just hate sentimentality. These two characters are ruining me!! :)
Author's Response:
I'm sorry I've ruined you. But I'm glad I have company in the sentimentality department. :) Thanks so much!

This almost made me cry. Seriously, the 'this is why' part, when Pam was watching him...I saw it. It's so true, I can see him in my mind's eye being like that, just appearing in the world as that kind of person. It's amazing, because there are not that many real people like that in the world, I haven't found one yet. It would be a dream come true for me to find somebody, and I think that's why I love this show so much, because of Jim's character, and why so many other people love the show for the same reason. He is the ultimate dream guy, and not because he's cute and funny and charming, but because of those reasons that you just showed. Because he's just a beautiful person.
Thank you for writing this, really. You're doing an amazing job. :)
Author's Response: Aw. Thank you moirariordan. I am fully aware that I myself am head over heels for Jim Halpert. And if I can't have him - I'm going to make damn well sure Pam does. LOL! I'm so happy you liked it Thank you so much for letting me know!

soo wonderful. i have no others thoughts...this just made me all sorts of happy :)
Author's Response:
Hee! Me too. I think the last chapter might make you happier.
Just a hunch. ;)
