OK, I'm way late - came across this by accident - but I wanted to say how much I loved it. What a great backstory, and so very well done.
Author's Response: Thanks, jazzfan - the backstory's the fun part of fic. :)

so sweet - i love the attention to their emotions as they painted each other's nails and also how jim protects her as todd packer becomes out of line. great chapter!
Author's Response: I'm glad those undercurrents came through. Thanks, PMH!

Funny story. So I'm at the nail salon right now getting a pedicure and I pull out my phone to see if there might be something to read while I'm in the chair. And lo and behold, this appeared on the front page. Perfect timing. Although there's much less sexual tension in my case. Not that the sweet Vietnamese lady doing my nails isn't nice. She's no lanky paper salesman, though.
Author's Response: Too funny, Blanca :D

I LOVE THIS!!! it takes a real man to do his woman's nails.

Damn, woman. They both kept their clothes on, and I still need a cigarette. You have a beautiful eye for sensual detail, yet you don't let it overwhelm the characters. Wish I had that sense of balance. Loved loved loved him slipping the knot on his tie down. When he blew on her fingers, I could just see that. Hell, I could FEEL that. You struck just the right note with his jokes about looking good for Dwight.
"I hadn't planned on impressing Dwight this much."
Hee!
Thanks very much.
Author's Response: Great! It's always good to know what works for readers - thanks for your specific comments, NeverEnoughJam!

Oh my god...I only mentioned it to thank you. Please don't think I was fishing for a credit. Just wanted to make that clear after the discussion at TWOP yesterday! Hee. However, I'm glowing that I got a shoutout in a nomadshan fic! Woo hoo! ;-)
Author's Response: No, no, I knew you weren't fishing. I just remembered that someone had said manicure or pedicure, and was too lazy to root back thru the threads to find your suggestion. I had a list of other requests, but you weren't on it (?). Glad you mentioned it! I wanted to credit because you sparked the idea :)

Hee...I had mentioned something about wanting to see Jim giving Pam a pedicure, knowing it would be future, couple Jim and Pam, so I was glad to read this variation and making it work into the show!
Well done, per usual!
Author's Response: Ah! I knew someone had requested some 'cure action! I'll credit... Thanks, Boof! :)

Yay, another Lesson! Excellent! And I'm glad Pam got to be the teacher in this one.
You're so incredibly good at nailing their voices that I can hear them saying your words in my head. And even Packer's voice is spot-on, so when I say ick I mean it as a compliment. ;-)
"He's wearing my favorite tie today. Grrr." Hee! Love your tie fixation.
And Jim wanting Pam to hold his hand again, and him imagining what else her nails could be doing, was nice and sexy. Loved the whole thing!
Author's Response: Woo-hoo! Thanks, Shroom - I especially appreciate your feedback on the characterizations. :)

Gah - love it. Once again, you've nailed their voices (and oh my god - you write a spot-on Todd Packer!) and the subtlety of their dynamic. I really love it when you write these teaching fics. Well, and the naughty ones. And the brilliant AU ones like Hope. :o)
Author's Response: My husband wanted me to add a note at the top that not EVERY fic can end with them having sex. Um, huh? They're my puppets for a reason ;) Thanks, girl7 - looking forward to reading more of your fics tonight...

I think I need a Jim servant to do my nails, show me to play basketball, bake brownies with me,... He would be very useful around the house. ;)
It was just the perfect little pick-me-up story. :)
Author's Response: I think we've found a legitimate excuse for human cloning. Now how to clone a fictional human. Hmmm... Thanks, Morning Angel ;)

I would totally get out my credit card for a Pay-for-View of Pam and Jim doing each other's nails.
Kudos, you sexy-writin' woman!

What a cute story. You have everyone's voices down so well - esp Todd Packer. What an ass. (But I did like "Salespussy of the year" - not him saying it to Jim, but your wording!)

Ooo! What a lovely pretty little story. Reminds me that my nails need to be done - not that any manicurist I've ever had is quite as adorable as the one in your story. And God. Todd Packer is an ass. Thanks for the little pick me up!

What a lovely combination of flavors- funny, sexy, sad (Jim is so pathetic), hot (yum, protective Jim!)- you've captured the fun of the show and the complexity of the whole Jim/Pam thing very effectively here.
