I must tell you I have thoroughly enjoyed every chapter so far. I love this idea Jim has of their writing to each other. It actually reminds me of the "Engaged Encounter" my husband & I went on shortly before our wedding. You could write all your thoughts & feelings and have them "heard" without interruption. It's a great communication tool.
Can't wait to see what Pam has to offer in return!

So beautiful! You keep me wanting more with each chapter. I love the descriptions of what they each wrote, I think it works better than reading the actual letter - it's more, humm, lyrical might be the word?

I love this story!! It does portray the characters in such a realistic way. I love how through and through Jim will always love Pam. Great Chapter....only one little thing that annoyed me is I live in Philadelphia...and it's Philly for short no ie. I know it's a nit pick but it just really bugged me. But otherwise an amazing chapter!! Can't wait for the next part.
Author's Response: Thanks! I wondered about that and googled, but I guess I just found the sports team. I've got it fixed now. So thanks for that and thanks for your review and kind comments.

That chapter was just beautiful. Please oh please do not make us wait too long to find out how they react to each other's letters!

OMIGOSH! I love that! Jim is the coolest! Now I can't wait to see what Pam has up her sleeve :)

How is it that my favorite chapter doesnt even involve kissing? It really was an idea that I can imagine Jim suggesting. Lovely!

omg. ugh. This was so beautiful for me, I really really enjoyed it. Like...I covet it and wish I had written it ;-) Seriously the letter thing is genius and touching and (maybe I'm having an emotional day) but sooo moving for me. I hope we get to read them? Maybe? I could see that going either way though, so I won't beg. It could be too much to attempt to even put down. Plus maybe it'd be better if it's just wonderful in my head. Anyway, fantastic job. Can't wait for more.

Yowsa! At least they're finally on the same page (sorry for that, couldn't resist). Great chapter, can't wait for the next.

Having them write letters was brillant. I was so sad when this chapter ended. Please hurry back with more.

This is really great! I love when you update (hint, hint)! :)

This is amazing. Just amazing and perfect. I ache to read those letters. Bravo.

Best chapter yet!! Love it.

I have often thought that they should write each other letters. It is much easier to be honest when you don't have instant feedback. Very well written. I can't wait to see where she takes him!

I absolutely love the last line. So perfect. The writing of their emotions into the letter seems so freeing and liberating. It feels very 'them' to do that. I love love love it. Can't wait to see what Pammy has in story :) Oh and one little thing, I think in this sentence the first part should be his not he:
He tongue is stuck in the corner of his mouth...

I have nothing eloquent to say, but I am loving this story to pieces.

1. this story rocks

I've also been reading this, but (shame on me) this is my first review. Going AU on an actual episode is done frequently, but not nearly so well. And sustaining the UST over this many chapters is also not an easy thing to pull off. Really enjoying this - hope to see some, uh...resolution, soon!

Sssh....I'm in a meeting and posting this : )This is me whispering how much I love this story!
Date: September 18, 2007 06:43 pm Title: I Wish I Lived In the Land of Fools
In a meeting! For shame! ;) This is GREAT GREAT GREAT! Can't wait for more!

I have taken a miserably long time to review this but I love your take on The Convention. It's similar in sentiment to other stories post S2....but a completely unique spin. I'm on the edge of my seat...waiting for more.
And posting stories during meetings? Awesome.

Nooooo... You can't leave us here like that, just hanging! I like the way you have melded plot points from The Convention and The Job. It works well. I can't wait to see the rest.

OMG! Squee!!! (oops, sorry!)
AH! I love how you turned around Jim's speech in Michael's room to be Pam. Ouch. Also love this: How does he do that? Turn everything around and make it about him? It’s an amazing and frightening gift. And that is the essence of Michael Scott, ladies and gentlemen.
Love how you turned around Pam's TH about what the future holds and trying to talk herself into being optimistic. This was also great: He’s still wearing a sticker on his breast pocket that lets everyone know that this particular young paper industry leader is named JIM. (Hee, so adorable).
So glad you got time to post a little more for us, Mel!!

Awesome update! First, bravo on making excellent use of your meeting time :)
I really liked the role reversal with Pam and Michael in the party. Really funny excuse that Dwight gave to go see Angela ;) I also liked the parallel to the job that you drew and I really like the camera guy too.
Can't wait to see what happens next!
