OMG! Jim is totally cracking me up. "Other people are themselves all the time, so it can’t be impossible. He’s gonna do it." And the whole Vivian-Pretty Woman-Pam thing? Genius!
And now, the worst part about reading this new chapter so damn quickly, is that I will have longer to wait for the next one than anyone who actually has self-control.
Date: March 21, 2008 09:29 am Title: I know I look pale but, seriously, I'm fine.
There's Jim's identity crisis again... he trusts Pam's instincts about him more than he trusts himself.
Also- celebrity defense attorney?!? Heee
I like that he called her a bitch. I mean, it's true in this case and you know she is just dying for him to call her on it. Okay, I just made up a new word. 'Hot hostility' is now "hotstility"... and these characters definitly have it. Other "hotstility" couples: Sam/Diane, Buffy/Spike, Mal/Inara, Hepburn/Tracey in everything, Hepburn/Bogart in African Queen, plus lots of Shakesperian examples: Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing...
I'm just rambling.
Date: March 21, 2008 09:02 am Title: Pour me another one cause I'm feeling kind of sick.
Things I love in this chapter:
Toby is actually cool-
There is hope for Michael to be likable and genuine and more like Steve C. than Michael Scott-
The explaination about Kelly's wardrobe-
Roy is totally likable-
but I really love the open hostility. Very Sam and Diane- which everyone knows was hot!

Okay, Stablergirl, you've really done it now . . .I'm going to be fanatically checking all day for updates. Ignoring the grocery shopping and cleaning I have to do. Ignoring my kids. Just refreshing, refreshing, refreshing...
Here are a few of my favorites:
Just LOTS of funny goodness, as always!

Who wouldn't love this? Seriously- a J/P fic this totally original is like opening a window on a room that's gotten a bit stuffy and full of smoke. Although, as your biggest fan I have to tell you that this new story is distracting me from a literary critique of your stories that I've been planning. I'm thinking of calling it "Jim Halpert's Identity Crisis: How Jim uses Pam to Self-Identify in the Stablergirl Fan-Fiction Universe". Seriously- this are the things you make me think about!!
Can't wait to see where this is going. I'm going to comment on every chapter!

Need...MORE. NOW. *claws*
*clears throat* Umm, sorry. I don't normally read WIPs because then I eventually get to the last chapter and go all sad face. Like this: =(
But everyone was going on and on about this story, so I decided to read it. It's fabulous. At first, I was a bit thrown off by the characterizations of Jim and Pam, but I've warmed up to them, and I very much want to know more about this Jim-like guy Pam is reminded of who broke her heart. And I'm hoping they just get it on already! And I'm ESPECIALLY hoping you update a ton while I'm on vacation so I can come back to many chapters. I love this! You've really created a unique, intriguing, and funny storyline! :D
One thing though (and this is the Polish in me talking): The plural of Pierogi is actually Pierogi. And ketchup on them? BLASHEMY.
Date: March 20, 2008 10:38 pm Title: Talking is cool, just promise you'll keep it clean.
Recognized by the fish guy and the butcher...that's fabulous. I'm not sure what kind of drugs you were on when you thought this story up, but I wish I was on them too! This is so ingenious.

OK, this line was so freaking hilarious that I laughed so loudly, I scared my 90 lb dog enough to make her jump off the bed:
"Fertilize her or get all beef ‘n cheddar on her or whatever."
Girl, you are too damn funny for words!
And hey -- I know you just posted like a zillion chapters in a row but I'm so sad there aren't more because now I'm TOTALLY dying for one of them to make a move so they can have some strange heart to heart about why they've always been at odds and why they can't stay away from eachother and blah, blah, blah fluffcakes of love and....well, you know. Happy JAMmy goodness!
You know a story is good when every time you read a chapter you can't help but to keep glancing at the little scroll bar on the right side hoping to god that it won't get to the bottom as quickly as you fear it will. Alas, I'm enjoying this so much that I pretty much feel like it moves too fast with every chapter!
Waiting with baited breath for the next installment!

“Stay,” she requests simply, smiling, and she swears his eyes widen in shock. “Hang out with me,” and god it’s like she’s saved herself and doomed herself all in the same breath.
OH MY GOD. Sucker punch to the solar plexus! I did not see that coming but holy hannah I'm gonna sound like a fangirl now...
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!
*Sigh* I totally love this story!
Date: March 20, 2008 08:07 pm Title: Just when I've figured out how to pretend you're out of my system, you show up and I forget.
OK, so I'm like crazily behind here (and seriously, you musn't ever sleep b/c I feel like I didn't check the "most recent" list for 48 hours and you've posted like half a novel -- what gives?!?) and I was just going to wait until I got to the most recent update to post a review, but two things in this chapter made me laugh so damn hard I just had to say something:
"She’s turning into some sniveling fan who wants him to sign her boobs or something."
"she’s running and all of a sudden her left right left right turns into penis penis penis penis and her cheeks are red and she’s sure it’s from the run and she’s penis penis penis penis and when she finally gets to her driveway and she’s finally slowing her pace and definitely not thinking about Jim’s penis she looks up and he’s standing there on her porch."
Bwaahahahahahahah!!!! OMG!!!
*THUD*
That's me hitting the floor after rolling out of bed from laughing my proverbial ass off. You so completely rock!

THIS CHAPTER WAS BEYOND STELLAR. Seriously, you need to do this for a living, if you don't already, because you're that good. I laughed out loud, and got freaking horny at the same time. I will die if there's not an update tonight. No pressure though.......

"get all beef ‘n cheddar on her..." Yes, I am still laughing. Dear lord, Jim is soooo whipped - I love it.

Nurse Come Over Here and Take Off Your Clothes, maybe?
Mm hmm. NOW you're talkin'!!!
You already know all the other parts I love, like basically everything.
Lesson 1 in How to Be a Good Beta: Beta for someone who doesn't need a beta! That way, you just get to read their stuff first and add comments like "I love this!" or "This is great!" or "Penis penis penis penis!!!" (situation, you say?)

Oh, my GOD, this just gets better and better! How are you cranking out this great story so fast?!?!?! The character dynamics are so great, the dialog is witty, the tension is building nicely.
Laughing out loud at "he’s left standing there with a little bit of a “situation“…and a cut on his finger."
Absolutely holding my breath for the next chapter. I wish there was a 15 star rating!

Ok... you've spoiled us sooo much with all the fast updates but...keep 'em coming! I'm just loving this story...the tension, the internal struggle, the different look at Jim and Pam! Love love love!

I laugh out loud at this story. The beefy and delicious? I can't even handle it. It's so amusing and when I'm done reading the chapter, I literally say "Oh come on!" because I need more. So amusing, yet so addicting and well written!
Date: March 20, 2008 03:31 pm Title: Did you want fries with that?
oh sweet jeebus, Jim! You are such a horn dog! With his beef 'n cheddar and his 'situation' and all.
And Stablergirl? how do you make putting a band-aid on in to foreplay? Guh.
Date: March 20, 2008 03:24 pm Title: Did you want fries with that?
That chapter was so funny. I loved all of the jokes about Arby's beef ’n cheddars.
- hey, you stud muffin, you’re beefy and delicious
- Fertilize her or get all beef ‘n cheddar on her or whatever. Ok so that was kind of gross, but he’s distracted and injured

Geez, I hope you write about 70 chapters for this story! I am loving, LOVING it!
Date: March 20, 2008 08:59 am Title: It's not that I hate you, it's just that I hate everything about you.
I've held off on reviewing this because I haven't been able to find the right words to express just how much I am loving this story. The realness of it is a testament to your talent as a writer. These are real people with complex, unperfect feelings that you've created here.
I think what you've got here is an interesting look at who Jim and Pam. Our situations and environment influence who we are, but not totally. This Jim and this Pam are in a different situation and have a different path in life than they do on the show, but deep down, they still are the same people we've come to know and love. i think your characteraztion of Jim is just brilliant. Ugh! Must. Read. More.
Thanks You!
