this story is ass-kicking. forget jim and his proposals.
Ok no don't forget jim's proposal. Seriously. ;-)
I'm really enjoying every second of this and your voice for Jim is so spot on, I can totally see it happening. Well done well done!!
Author's Response: Thank you thank you! I am having so much fun writing this. Almost done... I'm thinking Pam's right about when he's going to do it. And by the way I am completely in love with your 'Famous' and hope you are feverishly working away on the next chapter, because that last particularly was so beautiful and it's one of the best things I've seen on this site!

Author's Response: LOVE your enthusiasm and am working as fast as I can to finish it up! I'm actually trying to beat the end of the season before we see what the writers come up with. Thanks!!

EWWWW! I can't wait for the ass kicking ness!!!
You are killing me here!! Loved the first part:May 27th. The day we met.
That’s when he’s gonna do it.
Yeah…pretty sure"
that is so Pam!
Author's Response: I keep thinking how it would drive you crazy to know it's coming and be unable to think about anything else till it happens... Thanks for reading! I see big things coming up in this weekend trip.

hehehe. i'm really enjoying this. such a sneaky little Pam. I love the idea that she made that up b/c she was immediately attracted to Jim. I can totally understand that :) and I think the torture is just as much fun as being asked. at least since it's not me being tortured :) i can't wait for more updates!
Author's Response: :D Almost done! I can't imagine he'd keep waiting once he's gotten so many obvious positive signals from her....

Great chapter, Callisto. So believable. I love this: He was watching me, and he tilted his head to give me that smile, the first of so many of those smiles; his eyes were this brilliant green in the sun and his hair had fallen in his eyes and his expression was so…well, for a second I saw him, really saw him, and he took my breath away. Such a vivid visual. I can just picture it.
Author's Response: Ahhh thank you for that!! That was my favorite passage out of the whole piece. :D

Ooh, I love the story of the day they met!! You've woven together the little fragments Greg & Co have given us about Jim's first day just beautifully!
Loved this: it made me wonder how different he might be if he had a job he was really passionate about. Which reminds me of Office Olympics, in Pam's TH when she says "The thing about Jim, is when he's excited about something, like the Office Olympics, he gets really into it and he does a really great job. But the problem with Jim is that he works here, so that hardly ever happens."
Let's hope the ass-kicking is soon. I am much less patient than Pam is.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! And that comment she made during Olympics is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote that, so it's obvious she really believes in him. And it's almost done...I see something coming up in this trip.

Every chapter I love this story more and more. I really enjoyed the trip back to Jim's first day and the beginning of Jim and Pam. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks for all the feedback Jenn! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've had a lot of fun writing it. Next one will finish it up.

This is the chapter that really sold this story for me! I can completely imagine Jim in this scenario after the talk from Ryan. He's never cared about his job, but now he's got "plans." Love. it.

Okay, I just got back from a week's vacation and this is the very best thing I've read that I missed while I was gone! I'm going through to read it a second time now because I love it so much! Pam really works as the narrator here and I really love the way you weave their work life and their home life into each other. Excellent work!
Date: May 06, 2008 11:19 pm Title: Chapter 3
Yay!Yay! An ass kicking is a-comin'! Whohoo!!!! I love the history you've created here. I can absolutely see their first day having gone exactly the way you say it did here. And his saying she shouldn't paint her room....that made me shiver just like it did Pam! Nice work!
Author's Response: Can't believe I never responded to your awesome review. Not that you'll probably ever see this a month later, but I noticed you recommended one of my other stories on the boards, so...thanks so much! you're awesome. :)

Love this story, as I've said before. I wasn't expecting the flashbacks, but they were a great surprise and a welcome set up for what's coming next. Also, I really like your pranks. Or not so much pranks, but the way you have Jim suggest something that seems very real and in character, and is still fun without being antagonistic. Great job!
Author's Response: thanks! I actually wrote that whole scene a little while ago and thought it might be something she was thinking about while waiting for him to get on with it. Which is probably just my way of stalling while I figure out the ending...but I think I've got a handle on it now. Thanks for sticking with me!

LOL the entire end part about painting the room not being necessary was great.
You certainly have a knack for building up the tension! Everything you have written here is so believable.
And I think for the first time ever I can say with complete honesty I'm looking forward to having my ass kicked! :)

i like it - i can totally see this happening (chapter 2). can't wait for more!

I love how you integrated Did I Stutter into your story! I hope Jim gets a move on!

Jim and his PLAN! He'd better get to it, we are all getting impatient!!!
Loved reliving parts of DIS. Some parts more than others. And the little glimpse into their lives outside the office -- pure magic. I love that Pam is picking on Jim about it -- very true to character.

This was so good, we get fluff, Michael drama, and a darker/worried side of Jim. Love it!!!

Callisto, I am really loving your stories. I was happily surprised to find them! I really like how you work the episode in and then add more detail, even in the midst of what happened in the ep. You also do Jim and Pam's characters quite well - their dialogue seems very true to canon. And I like how you're telling this from Pam's POV. Looking forward to more!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I was really worried that I took too much out of the episode so I'm very glad to hear it worked. I think I'm almost done with Ch. 3...just depends on if I want there to be 4 or not. will be updating soon...

Callisto, you rock my world : ) This? This was awesome. So believable, warm, funny. “You said divorce,” he said happily. So clever.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I wondered about that line...nice to know it came across as I intended. I really was going to have him just propose in the car...but now I'm really glad I didn't.

adorable.
thanks for this. i missed the episode the other night. now i feel all caught up.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not sure I did the whole episode justice...there was a lot with the other folks in the office and you MUST watch the whole thing, if only for Dwight's Mad Lib and chain-of-command chart.

I really adore this. This chapter really sucked me in. I think you captured what must've been their feelings at the end of this day, in a very real way. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! Working on it...

Aaaaand I was totally psyched out there - I thought for sure Jim was going to propose in the car. Very well done, I love this story.
Author's Response: Yay! That was exactly my intention, I'm glad it worked. Thanks for reading :)

This is lovely, callisto! I'm really enjoying it, and the way you tied in and expanded the last episode was a real treat. Keep it up! -CH
Author's Response: Thanks!

That conversation in the car was so spot on. I definitely sense a lot of that sort of frustration in Jim right now and I liked how that came out of him here. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm feeling for Jim this season. I keep wondering if we're ever gonna see him snap.
