Hee-hee! Too funny!
"I’ve seen pictures." "I bet you have."
Great stuff

This was a great story. The image of Jim and Pam spooning in a bed is too cute and their conversation (sweet and endearing) was the cherry on top. It sucks about Jim having those brothers AND a father like that? Doesn't matter though since he has Pam now :o) And yeah, I loved the fact that the microphone was broken in the, um, practice session ;o) Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks bkwrm, Jim's family does leave a bit to be desired, doesn't it? But Pam makes it all better. Darn that microphone, though. I appreciate the review, glad you enjoyed it.

That was brilliant. I think my favorite line has to be the sugar / iced tea spoon, because guh, that was just too damn cute for words.
I love the idea of finding out a bit more about Jim and his (douche bag) brothers. I can just imagine them totally ridiculing him for wanting to be a sports writer and making him feel all worthless and little brothery.
I hope you have more of this planned =)
Author's Response: Thanks, Hannah_Halpert, I'm glad you liked it. There has to be a reason that Jim is so reluctant to "go for it" and I hope someday the "real" writers answer that question, if the show runs long enough. rnI wrote this as a one shot, but if Jim ever lies down on a couch and tells me more about his childhood, I'll be sure and write it down. rnrnI had fun with the spoons/spooning thing. Nothing like sweet tea on a hot day, is there? rnThanks for reading and reviewing.

Soooo glad I had this little bit o' fluff to read after "Epilogue B." You made me smile again--"hobbit bed" in particular. This was really sweet, Jazzfan, and very real. After seeing that little glimpse of Jim's relationship with his brothers in Employee Transfer I can really picture his aspirations being ridiculed by his family. Nice that he feels comfortable enough with Pam to share that unhappy memory. Kudos on creating a sexy bedroom scene with no graphic sex : ) Feel free to whip up an alternate ending on this one, though, if the spirit moves you...just sayin'...
Author's Response: Thanks NanReg, I'd actually finished EpiB and was waiting for it to be beta'd so I needed to write a bit of fluff. I'm really interested in Jim's backstory, so it was fun to create a little of my own. rnI doubt I'll pursue this further, gotta give the kids a little privacy, doncha know. *nudge nudge wink wink*rnThanks for reading and reviewing.

Jazzfan, I have been thinking FOR THE LONGEST as to how I could do a Cold Opening with Jim and Pam in bed. And I never thought of this. You're a genius. And it's damned good, too.
Author's Response: Wow, that's quite a compliment coming from the guru of the cold opens, thanks so much. Genius, no. Voyeur, maybe. LOL The review is much appreciated.rnrn(PS - I'd love to read a cold open from you set with Jim and Pam in bed, BTW. Please?)

I think his is a great take on Jim's back story! I also think you did very well with capturing the love Jim/Pam have for each other and the "togetherness" that makes us love them so much to begin with.
Author's Response: Thanks, Ipy4704, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love to analyze why these characters do the things they do, and this was a fun chance to patch in some of Jim's background, at least in my own mind. I'm glad their affection came through on the page. rnrnI really appreciate the review.rnrn

Whoa! Seriously kinky camera crew! Skeevy. I like to think Pam & Jim FOUND the microphone and crushed it!
This is very sweet, jazzfan! I especially liked:
I mean you’re sort of a sugar spoon and I’m kind of an iced tea spoon.
(Maybe because I'm 5'1" and my husband is 6'0"!) And I like how you have Jim lift himself out of his moment of sadness just by thinking about their future kids. And that he knows Pam's smiling when he can't see her face.
Very nice little vignette you've written! My only complaint is that I didn't get to see it first! :(
Author's Response: LOL, I'm sure it would have been a LOT better if you'd read it first, but I thought you had plenty to do right now. Thanks for the kind words. And yeah, the camera crew is a kinky bunch, but we knew that.

Really nice. I know we will never see anything close to this on tv. it's such a pleasure to have you all write stories that fill in the blanks. I loved the underlying tenderness they have with each other. Great job.
Author's Response: Thanks khand3stooges. That lunch scene just seemed to be leading up to explaining some of Jim's backstory so I had fun giving it a try. I appreciate your reading and reviewing.
