“Hey Beesly?”
”How come you never call me Pam?” Pam smiled.
“I do sometimes… Beesly?” Jim repeated.
Is this a reference to Alias? If it is, kudos. That's my other favorite show.=)
I am really loving this story (and I'm usually not a fan of AU). Update soon, please!
Author's Response: Yes! Totally a reference to Alias, and I'm so glad you caught that. I heart Michael Vaughn. I don't think that actor is doing anything, perhaps he could guest on the show...

AHHHHHHHHHH that was the best chapter yet. I love the phone conversations so much, I really can hear them saying it all.
Jim's present to Pam, omg the most awesome thing ever, and I laughed and aww'd at the
“Sniff it, you smell like strawberries,” that is so perfect.
The Facebook status at the end, left me smiling and squeeing, seriously this is amazing and is just getting better and better. I hope this series goes on for agesssss!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Haha, I'm 24 years old and I still love me some scented crayons. Glitter crayons, pastel crayons... I'm probably more cut out for an elementary teacher than anything else. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the phone conversations. I wasn't sure how this chapter would be received since it was kind of thrown together on my part, so thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I want to keep writing this story forever. I love writing these characters so much.

Still loving it. And since I am a Facebook addict I think I love it that much more. Please keep the updates coming!
Author's Response: Thank you! Ahhh... Facebook addicts unite!

HAHAHA! Facebook makes EVERYTHING official. You are not in a relationship if it hasn't been listed on Facebook. That seriously made me laugh so hard. Amazing. I do really like it though b/c the whole Facebook thing is such an integral part of college life now. Even people who I know that hate it have caved because its the one way they can keep in touch with all of their friends.
I'm still really enjoying this story. Your Pam and Jim are adorable.
BTW, I remember reading this in a previous chapter and I saw that pic on the last page...Chicago has doubledecker trains?! I am SO jealous. I take the train into Philly every day for classes and now I want two levels dammit! ;)
Author's Response: I'm seriously in love with our double decker trains. I always sit at the top, too, because you're always guaranteed a seat to yourself. Maybe I'll visit Philly and we can start a petition to get some new trains over there. Haha. rnrnI was never a fan of Facebook until I left community college for a larger school and all of my classmates would ask, "You're on Facebook right? I'll just Facebook you." You're right, it is all students use these days to communicate with each other. I'm glad you found it relatable. I figured Jim would totally make it official over Facebook before saying anything outloud. Too funny.

I love it! The end of this chapter with the Facebook relationship confirmation totally reminded me of how wonderful it felt when my boyfriend sent me that request :) Oh Nightswept, this has officially become one of my favorite stories on MTT. I like how you blend Jim and Pam with AU Jim and Pam...they both seem so realistic and so much like people I knew in college and their interactions remind me a lot of me and my boyfriend. And that was a really long run-on sentence that an English major like me should not indulge in. Anyways, my whole point is, I love your story, and can't wait for the chapters to come!
Author's Response: English majors, yes!! Although, I shouldn't shout out my major too loudly because my grammar skills sure need some improvement. Heck, I know it. I'm not afraid to admit it. Please don't hate me for my run-ons and apostrophe mistakes! I'm glad you're still enjoying the story. There is a lot more cuteness coming up in this next chapter that I'm putting together. Just let me know if I ever go too overboard with the cuteness. Our secret signal can be you commenting, "Ugh! Gag me!" Haha.

Your story is such fun!! I love girlfriends Angela and Kelly, they are awesome! I love the phone conversations about nothing really, cuz I relate to that BIG TIME! I cannot wait until Jim and Pam meet up, because, can they really go 38 days without seeing each other? Yay for updates!!!
Author's Response: Thank you, and I hope that you are still enjoying the story. I know Angela and Kelly have been missing the past couple of chapters, but I promise they will be back in Jim and Pam's lives very soon.

There's no another word but "adorable" for that chapter. And I'm thoroughly amused by the ending. It was both sweet and the equivalent of passing a note in class, "Do you like me? Circle yes or no". I'm glad Pam circled Yes :)
Date: December 14, 2008 03:24 pm Title: Home is Where You Hang Yourself
SOOOO cute. I love the idea of them getting to know each other better on the phone first. I live in Chicago and it's nice to see a fic set here. I think the Metra could cut back on traffic issues and help them meet halfway but I digress :) Cannot wait for more!
Author's Response: Hey, Chicago represent. :) The Metra is just awful sometimes. And they really need to offer a student discount! Thanks for the review!

ok this is actually like my real life. no lie. It's creeping me out a tad...
except for the whole Roy thing of course, thank god I don't have to deal with that whole mess.
but anyways I love this story. it's amazing! Thank you for updating so fast. I happen to be doing absolutely nothing today so I'm bored and desperate for more chapters lol.

I really liked the ending of this chapter. Obviously, I talked about it in a previous review. Wow...I just got excited over 2 fictional characters changing their facebook statuses.
If you feel the need to post any more 'mindless Sunday morning drabble' to this story, please don't hesitate. ;)

"Jim Halpert has changed his relationship status"
that part made me laugh, oh man. Another great chapter!
Author's Response: Haha, thanks. Kind of gave me chills when I read it myself. :P

Sweet ending. I like how they have been speaking non-stop over the phone. Looking forward to their reunion....
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you liked the ending. :) I promise a reunion very soon...

aw so cute. You know your relationship is "totally real" when it's on Facebook ;) I love the mention of the cow cookies and the just all around Jim/Pam characteristics you've made. So great. I hope there's more soon! I'mreally enjoying it.
Author's Response: Oh, I've totally made cow cookies for Christmas before. I've also made dirty Snoopy cookies which is probably why I haven't been invited back to a holiday cookie baking party for a couple of years now... But, anyway... haha. Thanks for the review! I'm glad that you are liking it so far.

Aw a whole month apart, I hope they meet up over the holidays :( eeeeeeek so excellent!

Can I just say that I love your story and that it is making Finals so much better!
Its become my guilty pleasure that I have to reread over and over again!
I love these types of stories.
Thank you :P
Author's Response: Yay! Thank you, I hope you've enjoyed the later chapters. It's become my guilty pleasure that I have to keep writing, leaving several chores unattended to in my house. Haha.

This chapter was so good, Nightswept! I liked that you didn't rush Jim & Pam into anything yet. If you ever haven any writer's block & want to bounce ideas off someone, I'm here!
P.S. Thanks for the "Everything" compliment! I really appreciate it!
Author's Response: Of course, "Everything..." was one of the very first stories I fell in love with and read over and over again. :) And thank you, I will definitely take you up on your offer. Perhaps soon, because after this latest chapter, my brain is kind of at a standstill as to where I should take these two characters next... Oy.

Beautifully atmospheric and really, the song inspiration was certainly a great addition as I read the chapter, (I haven't heard that one and I'm adding it to my d/l list). I liked how you structured the chapter and I understood Jim's reasoning. I know a lot of readers were calling for his head when he was ignoring Pam, but i dunno, I guess not saying or doing the right thing all the time is part of being human and that Jim apologized is enough. As always, looking forward to more.

Oooh...very sneaky implying at the beginning that they'd slept together and then have it not be the case. Artful. I like it.

I'm coming in so late to the party on this one. I love it. I love Angela and Kelly in this story as well as of course our Jim and Pam!
Author's Response: Well, welcome to the party! I hope I'm not writing too fast for you to catch up; I've found myself with a lot of down time this week and I can't stop! Haha. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. Thank you so much for the review.

a month and 7 days! oh man that's gonna be hard. But anyways, this chapter made me smile. Jim was so Jim-like :D

I am really enjoying this fic, what a great story.
