That is so Michael, its scary!
Damn, I am sorry, how do your manage to get EVERY single characters voice down? Its like, so in characters its insane!
Jim's the right choice Pam. Dump Roy. Go with Jim.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I try really hard to keep everyone in character, and having you to help point out when they're being ooc is a huge art of that. don't worry, this would not be a Jam story if she ended up with Roy in the end. ;)

The Happy Rooster reminds me of The Big Chicken. I am sure THR is better than TBC!
I still love their day. Jim is so sweet. Can I have him show me around my town? Cause I really don't know about it. and even if I did, I would pretend I didn't!
Oh, and the night Pam into the quiet corridor - gah! perfection!
Author's Response: LOL how I love your random tangents. Jim can definitely show me around my town too! :D Glad you liked it!!

I know I've already read this, but come on, its on MTT, which makes it TOTALLY different than reading it in a Word Document. True story! However, I am going to try to keep it short. Is that a bad twss or what? That wouldn't be what you would want anyone to say!
Ya know, while I was on vacation this week, I almost checked my baggage - with my license in it. I remembered right before i got up there. That would have been a secuirty nightmare!
Ya know, there are still so many lines in here that I love. I know I commented on them in the first place, so I won't recomment here, but man, you basically rock!
Yay for the first chapter!
Author's Response: It is totally different; I love seeing the finished product on the page. You did a ton to help all those great lines, so go ahead and take a bow!!

I love that Pam admitted to Jim that his love life is kind of important to her. Yes! Can't wait for the date.
Author's Response: Thank you! There can only be more admissions from here, so stay tuned! ;)

Nice chapter. I liked how you set up the relationship between Karen and Jim. And the introduction to DM was very clever. I have enjoyed this story very much.
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad you liked it! Yeah it was great to be able to work in DM; it's a nice homage to TO in an AU. (That's a lot of abbreviations!) Thanks again!!

Loved it! And LeBecFin was a perfect choice : )
My two favorites: ...because he hated the silence the third floor had when she was gone. Usually he could hear her TV on or her talking with her mom on the phone, and it was a comfort to know she was there; and, It made him nervous that her inflections were the same whether she was humorous or livid.
And, of course, I loved how you ended this chapter : ) Looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Thank you; glad you approve of LeBecFin. Thank you for pointing out your two favorites as well!! It helps me see what you're looking for more of. Look for another chapter soon!

Still loving this story. I love how you captured the Jim/Karen relationship and the reasons why they should never have been together.
I also like the Fancy New Beesly asking Jim on a date. Can't wait for the party!
Author's Response: Thank you!! Glad I portrayed their relationship well. The party will definitely be fun; stay tuned for more! :D

I really liked this chapter, LeBec Fin, the fanciest, ooh la la....I can't wait for the Date chapter now. I send you good writing vibes.
Author's Response: Thank you! I knew you'd enjoy the restaurant choice. I am very excited for the date chapter as well! I am definitely looking into some of the places you recommended for their dinner beforehand. Thanks so much again!!

GAAAAHHHH!!!! Just dump that old bag of bones, and get ON Jim!
Their chemistry is so thick, you can cut it with a knife. They need some physical contact soon, or I might die.
Author's Response: LMAO please don't die!!!!! I swear to you, physical contact is on its way!!! Just be patient with me; I do have a master plan. ;) Glad I'm keeping you on your toes though!!

I am really enjoying this story, I hope you update soon.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like it. Look for an update very soon!

Another great chapter.
I love how you have taken Jim and Pam's "Season 2 Courtship" and have woven it throughout your story.
Also, Kelly was perfect in this. I think I would totally ask JKras for a high five, or say something stupid like, "I carried a watermelon".
Looking forward to Jim and Pam getting closer!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think their interaction matches well the show; that was my goal. And LOL, "I carried a watermelon." That's awesome! Thanks again for the review!

Awww, DA-S, it's a pleasure to help you! Strong chapter---really fun. LOVE your Kelly. Great how you managed to incorporate Casino Night, complete with dialog, and it worked so well. Keep going, girl! I can't wait for more : )
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yeah, Kelly is extremely fun to write; I'm glad you like my version of her. And the Casino Night dialogue was just fun. :) Don't be surprised if I need to call on you again soon!

This is a great story. Love the connections you have made with all the characters.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like their roles in this story.

I think they need to kiss.
Okay, for my own selfish satisfaction, I think they need to kiss. :)
Author's Response: LOL no worries. That's coming. :D

I loved this chapter, Excellent. Now we just need to get rid of Kenso Roy.
Author's Response: Thanks Didi! I'm so glad you liked it; you were a huge help in putting it together. No worries, Roy is definitely in the phasing out process. :) Thanks again!

Phyllis is feisty! Love it! It's fun meeting each of these familiar characters in this new setting. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thank you! It's good to hear from you again! I'm glad you enjoyed everyone's new roles in the story.

Hey, DA-S! Back from vacation and finally able to continue reading this story. Such fun! On to the next chapter...

Again I have to say how much I'm enjoying this story. I love how you've split up the characters into the different Jim and Pam camps and they fit their niches perfectly. I certainly hope that Ryan gets a slapdown. I'm looking forward to reading where you go with your ideas.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think the ensemble's roles fit the story. And don't worry, I have something planned in a few chapters for Ryan. ;) Thanks again for the review!

I am happy to see Michael make an appearance, and in true Michael form he is clueless. You have done a great job of incorporating all the characters and maintaining their personalities. Especially Ryan, "Don't interrupt"
Author's Response: LOL Thank you! I'm glad you think their roles fit the setting. And I LOVE that "Don't interrupt" line (perfect for douchey Ryan), so I knew it had to be in there somewhere, hehe. Thanks again for the review!!

This is a great story. I'm such a sucker for AU stories. It makes Jim and Pam's love story feel timeless.
This story also makes me want to visit Philly (and maybe bump into Philly Jim!)
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree, their love story holds no bounds. Sigh. :D And I definitely think a field trip is in order for myself and all the readers of this story. We'll dine at Monk's Cafe and go visit Philly Jim at Citizens Bank Park! Hehe. Thanks again for the review!!

I loved this chapter. Way to go Pam for taking charge of her life. I guess it only makes sense though, because this is like Pam 2.0 from the beginning with her career. So it only makes sense that she would be so in charge of her feelings for Roy and Jim.
Author's Response: Thank you! I couldn't have put that better myself. I'm glad you like the angle I'm taking with her, with her being "Pam 2.0" with her job, but still being herself in her private life. Whether her reflections are put into action though, we'll just wait and see. ;) Thanks again for the review!!
Date: June 29, 2008 04:10 pm Title: Moving Day
I loved this chapter. I'm so glad Pam is doing something for herself and actually thinking about Jim in that way instead of denying her feelings. Please update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah this is definitely Fancy New Beesly I'm writing here, and I'm glad you like her. Watch for another update soon!

Oh Phyllis...I definitely laughed out loud at the part. And I love the way you've been incorporating the other characters! Your Ryan - hilarious. The "Don't interrupt" line cracked me up. I think it's pretty cool the way you're addressing Pam and Roy's inequalities in modern sense, with Pam being financially more successful. I am sucker for Brave!Pam :D. Keep going! I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad Phyllis and Ryan made you laugh. And I'm a sucker for Brave!Pam too! I think it's a little too cliche for her to just dump Roy for Jim; there's gotta be something else wrong in their relationship, and I'm glad the feminist-ish angle is working for ya. Thanks again for the review!!

AU is also becoming one of my favorite obsessions, and this is definitely one of my new favorites! they're believable and fun and enough AU to be different. I love it. keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah I love when an author can balance believable and different; I'm gad you think I'm doing a good job with that. Thanks again!
Date: June 25, 2008 06:51 am Title: Moving Day
I'm really into this story, yay for Philly Jim and an already stronger Pam!
More more?
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like FNB in this story; she's a lot more fun to write. More is coming soon!
