Damn that stupid chick!!! Damn her and her stupid tongue all to hell!! If I could get my hands on her ficticious ass, I'd totally kick it all the way to Poughkepsee. Or Timbuktu. Or someplace like that -- you get my drift.
Pam, whatever you do -- don't take this moment at face value. We fans of this particular story are BEGGING you to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
I just adore this eager, tense, happy, goofy, unnerved Jim. LOVE him on so many levels. ...she tries again, and she looks down and laughs at herself, shakes her head at herself, tucks an errant strand of hair behind her ear and it makes him itch to reach up and do it for her. Wow, this is all…new. I mean, how charming is that? I love how completely off-kilter his own feelings and responses have made him, like he doesn't even know himself anymore.
He wonders if anybody has ever looked at him this way, all shining and happy and enjoying his company. He figures probably not. He thinks she looks at him like that because she really sees him. He thinks she knows him, somehow. God you have a way with words!
He’s got all of this kissing dancing around in his head and she’s charming and intelligent and so different from the other women he usually surrounds himself with and she looks at him in that certain way. He thinks he’s going to spontaneously combust from wanting too much from her before the night is over. GUH. How do you do THAT???
And my favorite part: He chuckles as she walks away and heads inside, glancing at him over her shoulder and tossing him a wink and he’s a goner but he’s not sure he cares…at all. He lights a cigarette and shakes his head, wondering if he should be concerned by the fact that everything seems different now. Brighter. Better. Full of Pam. Amazing -- JUST AMAZING!! I wish I had some better way of articulating what it is about your writing that just kills me.
OH, and can I go to the magical place where it's "Jim Jim totally Jim all of the time"? 'Cause I'd like to live there.
Amazing as usual dear Stablergirl. Hope we'll have another udpate soon b/c your woefully addicted readers will be desperate for more in a matter of hours. What can I say -- we're crazy like that! :-D

well, at least she didn't stick her fingers in his mouth...
Hope you're having a great trip, don't worry about us addicts readers over here!
This is the part in the review where I quote your own writing back to you because I love it so:
He should back off and try to really figure out what she’s feeling instead of knowing for sure what he’s feeling and groping her because of it. She should get to do some of the groping. Although, he thinks, it’s not like she hasn’t been doing her fair share… A grope is worth a thousand words?
He thinks she looks at him like that because she really sees him. He thinks she knows him, somehow. And that is how two people who sort of hate each other can actually love each other.
Now I'm just going to be sitting over here waiting on the next bit. Don't mind me...

NOOOO! They are finally both getting to a good place and then some woman totally ruins everything. God I can't wait to see JIm and Pam talk. Please update soon. I might die if you don't. ;0)

I think you're pretty much killing us all by not updating. Plz to be updating soon?

I just have to say that I created an account just to beg you to update. I love this story!

Okay, I am loving this so much - their utter confusion about who they really are and what's fiction and what's real and where there's overlap and what they have to share with the world, and I love the fact that they could just talk about the kissing, and it's so real - not that deep and emotional, just "yeah, that was good, that was hot" which seems more true to them and their inability to talk about how they're really feeling on a meaningful level for long periods of time ;) ... was that the longest run on sentence ever?

okay, seriously.. it's not funny anymore.. you've got to update!! it's true we've gotten use to your quick postings! and i know that somethings take a while -blah blah blah.. but come on! .. i love it :D

Ok, I'm going to admit it -- my love for this story has officially reached the level of pathetic obsession. Why? Because it's been THREE WHOLE DAYS since your last update and I don't know what to do with myself. You've spoiled all of us with your 12 hour turnaround on chapter postings so what else can we do but mourn when a whole 72 hours passes without an update????
SIGH.
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to go back to the beginning and read all 18 chapters again, won't I? :-)

It's hard to put into words how much I love this story. Please don't have up wait too long for more.

Wow, such a great chapter! I just love Pam's confusion about it all, and how she decided that maybe she's a bit of both Pams. And I loved Pam and Jim just being with each other and eating chocolate together in silence because neither quite knew what to say.
And I loved that they actually ended up talking about the kisses, and in such an awkward way, and how they both agreed that spontaneouss kisses were great, but how Pam really wanted to talk about that second kiss, and about how much it said, and about how she REALLY liked that one more, and I think Jim did too, but both were too afraid to delve in that deep yet, so he smacked another spontaneous one on her. HOT.
Can't wait for more!

I love everything this story chooses to be. Honestly, you are some kind of secret genius (but not so secret). This whole thing has been phenomenal, but for me the last 2 chapters have been especially wonderful. I loved the way you described the kisses -- especially the second one. And I think the tone you took with them in Pam's dressing room was just the right note. They dealt with the elephant in the room by not really dealing with it, but kissing again and eating chocolate...fabulous. I love this story so much.

Stablergirl...I'm in love with you. I just needed you to know -- once.

So, let me start out by saying that I am utterly flabbergasted. Like... pretty damn much rendered speechless by this here story you have here, which I pretty much just read all of, and yeah. Wow. So, my point is that while I'd love to be eloquent and, you know, coherent, that ship has sailed.
This is brilliant. Absolutely, 100% ingenious. This Jim, and this Pam, and this Toby, and this Mike... god. It's too awesome. Because even though they aren't their characters, it is still so strangely in character - like, I totally buy this, and it is NOT a bit leap for me to wrap my mind around. Which is, again, strange, because it is so different. This chapter was especially well-crafted - the impulsive kiss (and really? Damn.), the Harold Pinter reference in the title (really, all of your chapter titles are beyond brilliant), just... the utter confusion of Pam, where she thinks she's been this Pam all along...
Wow. Seriously, wow. I'm incredibly excited to read what's next. I will also say that, selfishly, I am also incredibly excited for what I hope is unavoidable: teh secks (this IS rated MA ;-) ). Seriously, though... this is amazing. I will promptly be adding it to my favorites, and thank you so much for writing. I am now off to watch Casino Night and, well, cry. Ta.

I'm clapping my hands like an absurd circus monkey at this point because this chapter was just so perfect and made me so so happy.

*Bubbling coming from NanReg-like puddle on floor* Help. Need more. Soon. Tension. Killing me. Guh.

Gah! You are KILLING ME! This is so damn good! What a great turn of phrase:
… it feels like somebody pushed a lawn mower through her insides and bagged up what was left to scatter it around the nation.
VERY MUCH looking forward to some more impulsivity!!

Brilliant, funny, HOT, and downright brilliant. Wait-- already said that. Damn. Well, it is. Brilliant.

Good golly, Miss Molly. She'd almost made it out of here alive. No dodging that bullet, Miss Pam.
"See? Impulsive" guh. Just the right mix of smart-ass cocky Halpert and 'there's a real guy under all this' Halpert. And sexy as all hell. Not that hell is necessariily sexy, but you get the idea. (I bet he can wear the hell out of a pair of pants, too.)

I really like how this chapter was more comedic after the couple chapters of almost pure angst. Obviously, there were some serious moments here, but it was a lighter. Don't get me wrong; I LOVE the angst too, but there's plenty of time for angst.
Awesome. Pure Awesome.

This was so good! I mean, honestly, on the good scale it was like a ten! That full of goodness! (I haven't reviewed the other chapters, mainly because I just read the entire story this evening, but I just wanted to mention that they were also really good!)

Forget Jim killing Pam with this ... You're killing me!! I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with this story. Like, it could have killed me on Friday morning when I was driving, checking for updates on my phone and upon not finding one, began reading it over from the beginning. On my phone. Driving down the interstate.Seriously, I LOVE it - everything about it. Fantastic!
