This is very good!

This was such a well-written one-shot and encapsulated Jim's feelings so well. I was worried it wouldn't end on a happy note, but you made it so it did (yay!) Anyway, I loved your style here!

Wendolf, I miss your words.
This was perfect, like everything else.
Author's Response: I haven't been getting notifications of reviews and I just happened to swing by here and saw yours from YESTERDAY! Wow! Anyway, I love getting reviews after the fact. Glad you enjoyed this one, and thanks again for stopping by!

WOW. that was absolutely amazing. so beautifully written, with a nice dose o' fluff at the end. i have to admit, sometimes, with the "M" rated ones, i sort of skim until i get to the "good part" (sad, i know.) but i didn't with this one, because it was THAT GOOD!

I've added this to my favorites! It's wonderful! I really enjoyed the peek inside Jim's head. You write with such clarity and depth of emotion. It made me sigh.
Author's Response: Thanks Blanca! It was a lot to cram into one little story, but I've always just felt such a sympathy (and empathy?) for Jim that I needed to write something solely from his POV. Cathartic. Thanks for taking the time to read and review!

Damn! That was so great. I loved how you were able to tie in angst, w/ lust and love. Great job. In my mind this exactly how the date went.
Author's Response: Thanks Alamos! I have several different versions of that first date in my head . . . most of them involving a lot of pent up passion. Glad you liked this take on it! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I can't believe I've been away several days and missed this absolute gem of JAM! You really get them.
Author's Response: Thanks Aurorabee! Glad you liked this bit of Jam. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I'd also like to congratulate you on fitting Jim's POV from The Merger to post-The Job in less than 2700 words. I should say that's different from your usual. ;) You should be really proud of this one.
Not that you shouldn't be proud of the other ones -- you should. But I think you really pushed yourself with this one and achieved something quite different. Congrats. :)
Author's Response: Part 2: ;-) Yeah, I sure shoved a lot in there, didn't I? I feel like I did push a little more with this one and wrote something that I really wanted to write, not something that necessarily everyone would want to read. Funny how you can see the difference, huh? When I don't rush, and I focus on the feelings and the words, I get a different kind of product. Maybe not better, necessarily, just different. (Better is totally subjective, isn't it?) Ah, I'm rambling. Anyway, thanks for being so supportive of this little guy -- I'm not sure if it appeals to everyone, but I'm glad it appealed to you!

That was excellent. I can see why you say it was exhausting. There aren't really any wasted words or moments; it's a story without unnecessary filler.
I haven't read all your stuff, but of what I have read, this one really stands out to me. It's like you've distilled it so only the good stuff is left.
Excellent job.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, TLK. I'm really glad you liked this. It is different from my other stuff, definitely. Maybe more of a mood piece than an actual story, if you know what I mean. It may not be for everybody, but it was kind of cathartic to write. Anyway, so glad it worked for you, and thanks for reading and reviewing!

Wow, another great story. I just love evrything you write.
This has to be my favorite line:
He wasn’t sure what she was asking, but he certainly wanted. Whatever she was offering, he wanted.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, hues8. Glad you liked this. It's slightly different from my normal fic, so I'm glad it worked for you. Yeah, I like the idea of Jim just wanting (or taking whatever Pam can offer). Kinda' hot. Thanks so much for reviewing!
Date: May 29, 2008 06:25 pm Title: Chapter 1
whoa -- you covered a lot of ground, but in a cohesive way.
You had to know I'd love this:
“Do you want to…” Pam started, her fingers still in his hair, her mouth still just a breath from his.
He wasn’t sure what she was asking, but he certainly wanted. Whatever she was offering, he wanted.
*Melt*
118 days to our next fix...
Author's Response: Yeah, this was like a sprint through the angstiest part of season 3, wasn't it? I didn't want it to be so much of a scene by scene story as a mood piece, kind of capturing Jim's thought process. Anyway, yeah. Jim wanting. Always a nice visual. Thanks so much for reviewing, as always!

I really shouldn't be drinking your fics so early in the morning....
Author's Response: Is that a good thing or a bad thing, DS? Does it give you a nice buzz or just make you feel queasy? ;-)
Date: May 29, 2008 06:55 am Title: Chapter 1
P.S. Just read your other reviews. You certainly have inspired a lot of well-deserved "wows" : )

An instant blue ribbon! Wow, Wendolf! This story gave me chills. It was so passionate--from beginning to end.
“Good to be back,” he mumbled, lying, barely able to act like he was glad to be back. Back to what? Back to pretending and trying to suppress feelings that bubbled up without warning whenever she laughed or teased him or even tucked her hair behind her ears? Back to saying one thing and meaning another? No. It wasn’t good to be back at all. Whew. Simply awesome.
Author's Response: Hee, Nan! Yeah, I was surprised this one got ribboned so quickly! (If we could all be so lucky, wink, wink.) I'm glad yo liked it, and thanks as always for being such a loyal reader and reviewer!

That last section was thrilling -- I mean that literally. I got chills reading and re-reading it. Incredibly beautiful imagery and pacing. I loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks, CG. That last section is a little different from my normal style, so I'm glad it worked. It kind of just flowed out and it felt right. So I'm happy you liked it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: May 29, 2008 06:30 am Title: Chapter 1
Wonderful job with this story, Wendolf! You brought tears to my eyes this morning. They really do have their own secret language and are perfectly suited, dorks that they are. Favoriting this. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, EH! Really glad you liked it. Yep, I think they just get all goofed up when they try to use words. Probably best at non-verbal communication (wink, wink). Thanks for reviewing!
Date: May 28, 2008 10:36 pm Title: Chapter 1
Woww, that was just gorgeous. I really loved it; you don't get too many fics about Jim in season 3. The end was amazing. Great job =)
Author's Response: Yeah, and I love Season 3 Jim fics. Everything he went through during that time is so interesting to me! Anyway, glad you liked this, and thanks for taking the time to review, flonkerton!
Date: May 28, 2008 10:23 pm Title: Chapter 1
Wow...this was some amazing insight to Jim here, and I absolutely loved it. There were so many emotions that accompanied this, and everything just flowed really well. I loved their conversation at the end, because it just seemed so true. I think you really captured the awkwardness and underlying communication really well, too. Jim's not knowing of whether or not to say or do anything really worked, as did Pam's initial hesitation and dialog. Anyway, I could ramble like a fangirl all night...but I really really enjoyed it! Can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: As always, feel free to ramble as much as you like, honey. I'm all ears. Yeah, I love exploring Season 3 Jim. He has often been maligned as an ass for his behavior during that period, but to me he was in self-protection mode, just trying so hard to be different that what he had been in season 2. It wasn't easy to watch, but in my mind, it was totally justified and I like looking at why. Glad you liked this, and thanks so much for reading and taking the time to tell me what you liked. Really appreciated.

Riveting as always, Wendolf. Thank you for writing it. I really liked the moment as they held hands at her door - described with such clarity. Yeah, and...the latter part was pretty great too.
Author's Response: Thanks MCC -- that is really sort of how I see that first post-date exchange going: awkwardly, carefully, tentatively. I've written it other ways in other fics, but I've always thought Jim and Pam communicate best when they're not using words. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review!
Date: May 28, 2008 09:19 pm Title: Chapter 1
Just lovely! I particularly liked this little passage:
He wasn’t sure what she was asking, but he certainly wanted. Whatever she was offering, he wanted.
Author's Response: Oooh, VB, that's one of my favorite lines, too! The idea of Jim wanting -- whatever she has to offer. Just very sweet and sexy at the same time. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review!
Date: May 28, 2008 09:02 pm Title: Chapter 1
Wow - I'm all choked up now and unexpectedly teary. That was very evocative!
Author's Response: Thanks! I don't usually try for the really tear-jerking stuff, but this one just came to me and I couldn't help myself. So glad you liked it!
Date: May 28, 2008 08:53 pm Title: Chapter 1
Wow, I really really liked this. I've always loved how jim and pam can have conversations without even speaking. This was lovely, and real. It was very true to the characters. The last part was especially well written. It was perfect. Write more stories please :)
Author's Response: Thanks, fashion_show_at_lunch! Yeah, I've always been so intrigued by the fact that so much of their communication is non-verbal, and when they try to spell it all out in words, they usually miss the mark somehow. So that idea has captivated me for awhile. Glad you liked it, and thanks so much for reading and taking the time to reveiw!
