That was great, I love fancy new Beesly, she's so brave... but seriously - I'd do Jim in an elevator anytime =)

I really loved this story! You totally left me feeling happy about the finale with Pam talking about how she sucked it up and all and the way you were able to get it so steamy without making it XXX rated was genus! All I can say is Bravo!!!!
Author's Response: Non-xxx-rated steam is my goal -- glad it worked this time ;-) I love reading hot, sexy stuff but I kind of cringe when it gets too technical. So . . . this is my version of smut. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review, dentalhydraplostion.

That was hot. And thanks for including that photo at the end to make it even hotter. That visual more than adds to the story, which is awesome to begin with. Elevator sex is something that needs to be added in more stories. Nice job!
(Sorry for the review deletions!)
Author's Response: Thanks, schrutebucks! Glad you liked that story and the accompanying visual aid ;-) Really appreciate your review!

OMG this is brilliant, this is just all sorts of brilliant wrapped in a layer of fantasticness. I love that you slipped the proposal in at the end there because I actually wasn't expecting it, which made it even lovelier. And yes, Pam is correct, angry!intense!Jim is really hot :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I wasn't actually expecting the proposal either -- in fact, I had sworn I WOULDN'T even try to do a proposal scene because I find them kind of corny most of the time. But I couldn't seem to help myself. Glad it was good for you. Thanks for reading and reviewing (and calling it brilliant -- WOW.). You're the best, shootingstars!

I got WAY too excited when i saw you had a new story--(I think i peed a little bit!!)
Didn't see any angry Jim, but Man-O-Man you made up for it with Hot Haircut Elevator Sex!! YOU ARE FABTABULOUS!!! *Me bows lowly to Wendolf* Thank you for my Friday Jam Smut snack! I loved so many quotes from this, I highlighted 90% of the story. I like FNB Pammy getting what she wants.....literally!
Thanks for the picture- I don't get to surf the interweb for personal stuff much, so MANY gold stars for the dreamy picture. It has been printed, laminated and stuck on a wall in my cubie...(and kissed a couple of dozen times already, but i never mind about that...)
anyhoo, NEVER retire from Jam fanfic cuz you ROCK!
Author's Response: I made you pee?! Awesome. (Have you seen that JK interview with Kristin whats-her-name where he asks her if she peed a little when he pretended to lose her ring? Love it.) Anyway, yeah -- angry!Jim wasn't as present in this story as I had planned because, frankly, once Ryan got arrested, what did Jim have to be angry about? So I'm glad Hot Haircut Elevator Jim worked for you instead. And glad you liked the, um, visual aid. ;-) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, JamFan4000!

"But I’m ready to start the rest of our lives. I don’t want to wait anymore.”
Excellent. I really loved this. Really, really sweet. And being a Pam-lover, the notion of her getting nailed in an elevator was EXCEPTIONALLY hot. Wow.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, elevator sex is always hotter in theory than in reality (not that I'd know . . . just guessing, really). But it's fic, so . . . glad it worked. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, kgreene!

mmm. Sizzle. Excellent, Wendolf. And the haircut is delicious, btw. I've felt that Jim's hair in the last few eps was a bit scraggly. But I'd still like to "ride the elevator" with him. Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm with you . . . the scraggly hair isn't my favorite, but I'll take the guy any way he comes, frankly (TWSS). Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, Mountaineers02!

I got way too excited when I saw you wrote something.
Also I love smut bc it makes elevator sex actually sound APPEALING! I got trapped in an elevator once. the power went out and we were stuck for 45 minutes. and by we i mean me and 7 of my closest people who I have never met.
But I digress. fab as usual.
Author's Response: Yeah, I'm with you on elevator sex not actually sounding all that comfortable. But, well . . . these two kids can make anything hot, right? Glad you enjoyed this, and thanks so much for reviewing!

He would ask and she would say yes and that’s all that mattered. He wasn’t Roy. -- THANK YOU!! Haters to the left.
It's so good to see you again, I just feel better with your smut around. :o)
Loved every second of it...keep em coming!!
Author's Response: Glad my smut makes you feel good ;-) That should always be the purpose of smut, right? Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, PamPongChamp!

I'm so glad you found time to write more fanfic! I miss your stories. This one is wonderful, as usual. I like the way Pam takes the lead in the elevator, but Jim is certainly an eager partner (without being pushy or lecherous). I like the haircut, too!
Author's Response: Yeah, my fic has been shorter lately, but I'm still trying to squeeze it in (TWSS?). Thanks, grapejelly, for reading and for taking the time to write a review! So appreciated.

I loved everything about this...seriously. From the little introspection to Pam's past to InCharge!Pam (which was just in charge enough to be believable but not so much so that it was implausible). Most of all I loved the simplicity of the proposal and the symbolism of When Harry Met Sally (one of my faves, too!). I'll stop babbling ('cause really, I could go on) but wonderful job as usual :)
Author's Response: Ah, honey, thanks as always for your awesome review. Glad you liked this . . . yeah, I struggled with whether Pam would actually initiate sex in an elevator, but it is fic for a reason, right? ;-) Thanks for reading and feel free to babble on as much as you like. Authors love to hear babbling (at least this one does...)
Date: May 22, 2008 08:11 pm Title: Chapter 1
I've forced myself to stop reading and quote/comment on the most amazing bits (for which I deserve an award or something, because seriously...do you have any idea how much I want to just tear through this thing!?!?):
1) "the artsy fartsy quiet girl in the turtleneck who had somehow won the boyfriend lottery ": WOW. Love the lottery analogy -- so apropos. I really think that notion lingered somewhere in the back of Pam's mind for a long time (well past high school), maybe contributing to her willingness to overlook Roy's behavior....
2) Buckle in; apparently this'll be a long review! "It was funny, now, for Pam to think of Roy – the warehouse worker, the guy whose high school years were the best of his life – as being “better” than her in some way, instead of them just being “different.” Why one person in a couple had to be seen as having any sort of upper hand seemed ridiculous now." Again -- spot-on analysis here, and I think you're absolutely right. I also loved the zinger at the end re: Pam not being a girl who'd drop Roy for another guy. Hrmmm....
3) "But Jim seemed to love her for who she was, not who he was to her. " Jesus, woman, at this rate, I'll never finish reviewing this fic! Again -- such a spot-on insight into why Jim & Pam work and why Pam & Roy just didn't. I've never seen it articulated so well before, actually. Wow.
4) "Like the way Jim handled that whole weird thing with Toby." Yes, absolutely. I've read criticisms of Jim here and there (not necessarily on MTT), asserting that he's too laid-back or even written as almost feminine, but I've always disagreed. Having dated a guy who picked a fight with other guys if they so much as looked at me (this was in high school, I'm happy to report, and both times the jackass did it, I totally let him have it), it's absolutely ridiculous. When Mr. Girl7 & I started dating, there was a guy who was behaving toward me much like Toby to Pam, and Mr. Girl7 was totally cool about it -- was irritated but didn't give in to that hyper-masculine urge to mark his territory, so to speak, because he knew a) he had nothing to worry about and b) I could handle it myself.
That's what I see in Jim -- a smart guy who knows he's got nothing to worry about. Very sexy. :o)
5) Okay, the whole conversation about the first date was awesome, from her not recognizing the back of his head to her suspecting it was a prank between him and Karen. "You peed too fast." Hee!
6) "God, he was like . . . delicious sexy business guy. " You're toally describing Convention!Jim here, aren't you? Or is it just Stamford!Jim? Either way...I'm on board, sister. :o)
7) Yay for elevator sex & the ass-kicking conversation!
Seriously...such an awesome, awesome fic. Believe me when I tell you I kept my comments to a minimum, for fear of leaving you a review as long as your fic. :o)
Author's Response: Oh, girl7, now I feel so guilty that my review of your most recent story was so flippin' short! (I plan on going back tomorrow for a re-review, but still... I feel rude!) You are beyond awesome. As as writer yourself (and an awesome one at that), you surely know how much reviews like this mean. God is in the details, right? Anyway . . . I just so appreciate the specifics. Not to get too philosophical here, but the thing I love about writing so much is the connection between the writer and the reader -- the AHA moments where the reader goes, "Yes! Exactly!" Where what the writer was trying to say comes across loud and clear. And unless someone tells the writer, how does he/she know that they've hit the mark? I suppose it's not supposed to matter -- we're supposed to write for the art or to tell our story or whatever --but for me it's also about that connection. So I'm so glad this story connected for you! Again, any time you want to leave a long review, I'm all ears . . . or eyes. Or whatever. Thank you SO much for taking the time. Seriously.

I was expecting a little more angryJim, but was extremely happy with the way this turned out. ;-)
I like it when Pam is in charge.
If only there were more elevators in real life without cameras.
Author's Response: Yeah, WeBrokeHisBrain, I thought I would elaborate more on angry!Jim, but after Ryan gets canned, what's he got to be angry about? The compromise was SexyElevator!Jim. Thought that was a good deal. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Yummy.
testosteroney -- the real San Francisco treat [/Chandler] (couldn't resist that)
But now? God, he was like . . . delicious sexy business guy. How much do I love when Pam objectifies Jim? Lots. Lucky girl.
And lucky us for this little froth of deliciousness inspired by an older photo and a good old-fashioned ass-kicking. Nicely done, wendolf!
Author's Response: Ah, lisahoo. I love people who get me. That testosteroney thing? What I loved about Friends. (It's still no Office, but was funny in its own right.)And don't we all love to objectify Jim? Slice and dice apart his every desk lean and voice rumble and lip lick? Yes, it's one of the joys of my life. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for reading and reviewing. You rock.

A new fic from Wendolf! Cause for jubilation!
You know, I think you hit the nail on the head with this: Even the disappointment that Jim hadn’t proposed at Toby’s party faded quickly and she immediately regretted her mopey display for the camera. She realized that Jim wouldn’t want their engagement to be overshadowed by Andy’s, of all people. He’d want it to be special, personal, something of their own. So she sucked up her disappointment and promised herself that she would just not second guess everything anymore. He would ask and she would say yes and that’s all that mattered. He wasn’t Roy. Exactly!
I should have known when I saw an update from Stablergirl that you wouldn't be far behind. *happy sigh* Needless to say, loved this : ) It's a happy day...and JAM elevator sex was the icing on the cake!
Author's Response: Oooh, I like being the cause for jubilation! How fun! Yeah, Stablergirl and I seem to have similar writing patterns (although, pity for me, not similar writing talent -- she's so awesome!). Anyway, Nan, so glad you liked this. I've wanted to do a fic forever where Pam just attacks Jim in the office, so . . . it's a good day.
