fabulous story! You have hit each character dead on! Can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Kame! I try really hard to keep them in character, even in situations that are more dramatic than what we've seen on screen.

Wow, I love angry Jim. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Thanks gotkona :)

Wow. That's deep stuff. I REALLY liked that a lot. Plus I'm doing my bit for the screenwriters, right? ; )
Author's Response: Thanks, kgreene. I think that negotiations will move forward now :)

So so so good. I love me some Jim/Pam angst, and I'm sorry but Angry! Jim is hot, even if he is mad at Pam.
Your stories are always so much fun to read because you have the characters voices down perfect, and you always leave me in suspense! I can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: Thanks, kells! Hopefully I won't make you wait too long, although project due dates and rushing toward me at the moment. That certainly doesn't mean I won't ignore my schoolwork to write fic though :)

LOL! Based on the fact that I was a tad tipsy myself last night this chapter hit a bit of a chord.
As I read this morning I kept scrolling down, thinking you'd be cruel and not give us a kiss until the next chapter. But YAY! you did!
“That was a big deal to me,” he snarls. “When you kiss me, it’s a big deal. So the next time you want to get drunk and have fun so that you can write it all off the next day, don’t come looking for me. I don’t want that.”
That line is amazing - because it works on so many levels. It's The Dundies, Casino Night and Gay Witch Hunt all rolled into one.
Amazing.
Author's Response: Thanks xoxoxo! I was sooooo tempted to end that line with "I want more than that" but I resisted :)

Wow, this was just a perfectly crafted chapter. The kind of thing I read and think 'why can't I do that?' because it flows so beautifully and you make it seem so real and effortless.
Author's Response: Awww, Sweetpea your fic is awesome! Honestly, the things that seam effortless probably seem that way because I randomly threw them in at the last minute. Any beautiful flow is pure accidental, lol. But thanks!

OH MAN. It is very late and I cannot put together a real comment right now but I just have to say tonight: I'm LOVING this fic and will desperately be awaiting future updates! This is exactly the satisfying sort of story I've been wanting to read since rewatching The Dundies. Very good stuff. :)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks Astraea! What a nice review :)
Date: November 08, 2007 12:11 am Title: From Bad to Worse
:O Brill stuff.
Aww poor Jim. Drunk Pam is A-mazing.
More soon!
Author's Response: Yay! Thanks. Drunk Pam was hard for me to write!
Date: November 07, 2007 11:30 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
oh man this is gooooooooood stuff! Nothing better than a Pam drunk story. Here's hoping they are completely honest with each other.
Author's Response: Thanks LoveFool! Honesty is a-comin' in chapter three :)

"My cats have conjunctivitis, and I only have one set of goggles."
Quite possibly the funniest line ever uttered in a fanfic. FANFREAKINGTASTIC. Nothing better than an Angela POV on Jim and Pam. Rock on!

So, I definitely just wrote you a review and then my computer decided it hates me. Awesome. This review was originally 5x cooler, I blame my wifi.
Get wasted on El Nino margaritas until the room spins?
Again with the El Nino margaritas, eh? Are you in love with the El Nino margaritas? Are they your italian food? (Don't mock my joke, I'm very proud)
“Angela thinks we’re going to sleep together tonight,” she says absently.
WOW. And I think I let things slip drunkenly....
And the ending! Holy God woman, that sorta thing should be illegal! And just so you know, I have it on authority that chapter 3 can similarly help end the writers' strike. It's all in your hands now...
Author's Response:
Your stupid computer! What did you do to it to make it hate you so? My new macbook is on it's way to me within the hour! SQUEE!
Um, yes. I like El Nino margaritas. In fact, uh... I'm in love with them. :-P
I actually once went online and read the Chili's menu to get a drink name so I could use a more specific drink in a fic. And then I rewatched the Dundies and the waitress actually mentions El Nino margaritas to Dwight! Woo!
I have so much responsibility now what with the strike depending on me! Gah! Okay, you may be getting an email from me tomorrow with a draft of ch3 :)
Date: November 07, 2007 10:31 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
woah. intense... but i like it. of course we knew he wasn't gonna keep that promise to Angela. and really, it's Pam's fault anyway, right? right.
also, I love Mark. I love it when we get to see more of him, and I love how you've written him here. "The Pam." haha.
Author's Response: Totally Pam's fault. And the second drinks. It's their fault too. Heh. I'm glad you liked Mark! I wanted him to know about Pam without coming off like a girly matchmaker, hence the "your mom" joke and the flipping off :) I figure Jim and Mark interact like my college guy friends.

Wow. That was awesome. I love how long your chapters are! But now I'm having trouble because there were so many good things in the chapter I'm going to forget all of them.
Aww poor Jim. You really got into their heads again, you're great at that. Now I really need to read the next chapter! Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks Snoz! I do have a thing for long chapters. Once things get to like... 7000 words I'm like, okay maybe I can find a chapter break in there somewhere, lol.
Date: November 07, 2007 10:23 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
Huzzah! That was wonderful. I loved Jim's speech at the end. Can't wait to see Pam's reaction.
I think I heard that too, about reviews and the strike. Well, here's hoping.
Author's Response: Thanks! I think I'm going to start chapter 3 with Pam's reaction, and then shoot immediately back to Jim. Still working out all the detail in my head :) And the strike hasn't ended yet, but I still maintain that my theory is true.
Date: November 07, 2007 09:39 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
Well, I think you know what i think. It's perfect. Truly this is some of your best writing lately. Just awesome
Author's Response: You are the best! There is nothing more to say.

That was AMAZING! I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks desdemona!

angry, feisty jim is just as hot as sensitive, loving jim pining over pam. i know it's the angst that makes the narrative so strong, but sometimes i just want pam to be able to say what she means. this story captured pam very nicely, though - her drunkenness, her obliviousness, her inability to realize that jim loves her way more than roy ever could. i think the line "this is the chili's parking lot all over again" sums it up wonderfully :)
Author's Response:
Pam is getting there. Wait for her to sober up a little bit :)
Thanks for the review!

It’s totally normal for a twenty-six year old guy to have crayons. Right
When you're Jim Halpert, you could have eight million crayons and I'd still love him. Some crayons? not that weird. Maybe being a future teacher is bringing out the bias in me.... who cares.
Normally he would have melted into a puddle and slipped between the couch cushions at this moment, because Pam is whispering seductively in his ear. But all he can feel is hurt and sort of angry
Gah!! So angsty but fluffy but not and yeah. Whew.
Why is this so hard?
TWSS. Sorry, had to be said.
But she’s cut off by his lips. She gasps and arches toward him. His arms are around her, and his palms are flat and hot against her back, pulling her so close that there is absolutely no space between their bodies.
After seeing Money? This is totally visual for me :D Love it.
Oh my god, the ending? So good! I can't even think of the proper way to explain it but so 'guh' is my emotion right now :) I think you should rewrite the title to be "Best Story Ever" B/c well it is!!
Author's Response: Thanks WBJ! You're the best! And excellent usage of twss. I bow down to you.

This is really good. I had no idea I was so fond of angry, angsty Jim. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Author's Response:
Thanks, Azlin. Normally all I write is angsty fighting, but I think the worst is over now in this fic.

This is the best Dundies story ever. I love so many things about it. Your drunk!Pam is pitch perfect and the kiss at the end? sigh.
