Gah. I read this when you posted it and neglected to review -- shame on me! That said: I love this; it's like the perfect calm and easy and dreamy anecdote (sp?) to Jan & Michael's insanity. I also love the way you've written the dynamic between Jim & Pam here -- palpable comfortable and sweet, connected, romantic...
As for your last chapter: Precisely why I know she's gonna say yes when he proposes! :o)
This was lovely, my friend!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, dear, and don't worry about being slow to review. Look how late I am getting back to everyone, ha! And it frequently takes me forever to review fics, especially WIP's like your own. Doesn't mean it's not being read multiple times with enthusiasm. Glad you found my little story enjoyable, and yes, I can't wait for the kickass proposal either!!

I had forgotten about Jan wanting Jim to dance with her! This was cute. Thanks for the smiles!
Author's Response: Hi kaystar! Yeah, I was getting a sort of vibe from Jan, especially after the thing with Hunter was revealed. I could see her trying to wield her charms on a hottie like Jim. He'd be oblivious, naturally, but I can see Pam teasing him about it, so I put it into my story. Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing!

very cute! :D :D :D
Author's Response: Hugs to you, sweetie, and thanks so much for the feedback. You know how nervous I get about my writing, so I'm so glad you found it enjoyable.

Much nicer ending to Dinner Party. Here's to more episodes and more fic.
Author's Response: Agreed, gotkona! Glad we have lots more inspiration for the fanfic writers now that our show is back each Thursday. Yay! Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing my story.

Oh I just love this, EH! I really needed some post-dinner party fluff and this really hit the spot, babe ;)
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed my take on some PB and J after -dinner fun, Kells. And thanks so much for taking time to review, babe!

I loved this - pure fluff and Jim and Pam and can you please go write something more, cause I'm thinking I'm gonna need another fix soon :)
Author's Response: Well, I mainly wrote this to stimulate some other writers to get going with stories, now that the show is back. Hopefully, I was successful. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Nice little story, Everybody. Well written. Was this episode supposed to have been in November?
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing, Daoust. I wrote November simply because I assumed it was a follow up episode to The Deposition. Probably anytime in the early winter would have worked. :)

"Jim steered the Saab into his assigned space."
Yeah, I bet he did. :-P I know I already told you this, but this is my favorite line in an Office fic, in the history of ever.
Still think you're missing a (smutty) paragraph - or two. Hee!
I love this, babe!
Author's Response: You're so funny, seeing such deep meaning in my innocent little line. Thank you so much for giving this the onceover before I posted. Maybe someday I'll write some real smut for ya, k?

"Take off those stockings, hmm?" Guh. Whatever you say, babe ; )
Author's Response: Oh, babe, glad that line worked for you. Didn't want to go too crazy or over the top. I figured they'd both be mellow and tired by the time they got home, so some simple, quiet lovin' would do at that time of the night. Thanks for reviewing, NanReg!

Really, you had me at the foot rub! That would be enough for me, but Pam gets the whole enchilada! Nice!
Author's Response: Seriously, it's kind of pathetic, but having my feet massaged or having my hair washed are both such exquisitely erotic experiences for me, so I figured I'd include one of them here. It fit better with the story and we already have plenty of great shower smut fics. Thanks for reading, you!

Very nice, EH! This was much better JAMminess than anything I can do, but I'm sure other people will oblige you soon. Meanwhile, I'll be off writing something about some minor character. ;)
Nice job! :)
Author's Response: Aw, Kev, I love your stories about the other Office folks. We have so many great Jam writers, it's nice that you are so willing to tell us more about the secondary characters. It really fills a need in the fandom. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing my little fic.

Thanks for helping a sister out here by filling in the blanks of what happens between the last episode and the next.
I know just how Jim feels, that damn song is in my head now too (the perils of rewatching the episode over & over!)
Author's Response: OMG, lisahoo, you, me and Jenna with it on her MySpace! I just kept humming it all day in work, ha. It's definitely going on my next Jam-mix CD for the car. Thanks for reviewing my story dear!

May this start a trend of post-DP fics! This line was hot as fresh-baked smutcake: Take off those stockings, hmm? In fact, this whole story was scrumptious...Jim for dessert? Worth every damn calorie, babe (sorry, had to do it ;-)
Author's Response: Well, colette, I was just trying to jump start the fanfic engine with this, so if I succeeded, that's great. Glad you enjoyed my admittedly, mild form of smutcake. I usually struggle trying to write fic, but this one flowed pretty easily from my brain to the laptop, so I posted it quickly before I could have second thoughts. Glad it worked!

I've been awaiting some post DP fics...and this was really cute! Good job...I loved the naturalness of their actions; the foot massage was adorable.
Author's Response: Glad the story came off sounding natural, honeypioneer. I'm always concerned because I don't feel that I can write their "banter" as easily as so many other great writers out in fanfic world. But it's a bit easier with just a quick oneshot. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to review!

ooh I love the implications of the ending and just everything, babe. Great job at throwing in little things from the ep (like when Jim was going to leave her! I like your version/insight into what Jim would've done) and just overall greatness. Awesome job, babe :) (OK - I swear, that jokejust doesn't get old...... babe)
Author's Response: Hey, babe, thanks so much for taking the time to review this little ditty. Of course, now we know when he got the ring, so I'm a bit off with the timing in this story, but what the hey, what's important is he's got the freakin' ring! Right?
Date: April 13, 2008 09:38 pm Title: The Sweetest Thing
Aww, that was sweet! Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, jenn, for reading. Hope my little dessert fic hit the spot!

I very nice image before I go off to sleep!
Author's Response: The image of a happy, satiated Jim and Pam is quite a nice image to drift off to sleep with. Thank you for reading and reviewing my little story.

excellent! she got tuna for dessert!
Author's Response: Well, she does get tuna every night, right? Ha. Thanks so much for reviewing and I love your username. :)

I enjoyed this very much. And I'll have you know I'm working on a little after-dinner smutcake. Should be up shortly.
Author's Response: And it was a wonderful piece of smutcake, my dear! Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed my little oneshot. :)
Date: April 13, 2008 09:10 pm Title: The Sweetest Thing
I agree, I've been waiting for post-DP fics. Thank you for being the first. It was awesomeness!!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Sharipep, for being the first to review my little story. I was just trying to inspire all our writers to get back writing, you know?
