Haha excellent homage to Lloyd Dobbler's infamous romantic gesture and just perfectly adorakable that he has it playing off his macbook. Well played altogether. I liked Pam's confession and have I mentioned how muh I've been enjoying your Kelly? Highly amusing. Looking forward to more(and where this all leads).
Author's Response: Thank you, Jim is totally adorkable and I felt like the whole macbook bit was so something he would do. Ah, such a romantic. Kelly is definitely my favorite character to write. Whenever I feel like the story is craving a dash of comic relief, I know I can turn to Kelly Kapoor.

I love this, I love how he contacted her through facebook, that is so cute and stalkery lol. You have kelly down perfectly :)
Author's Response: Is it wrong that I totally wish someone would be all cute and stalkery with me on facebook? Haha. I love writing Kelly. She's "totally awesome"!

Um do we get another chapter during the weekend/ I really want to see what happens next

I really liked this AU story.... sometimes when writers move the characters the story is blah but I love you version, cant wait for more :D

Wow, I just read all these chapters at once and I'm really enjoying this. Firstly,I like you following the old adage of writing what you know. You really give the feel of Chicago and its citizens and the things that matter and really, just get the atmosphere down without being heavy handed and are really just ivniting us to your city. Secondly, the way you've drawn Pam with a certain understanding of her indecisiveness andhow I really love how for her the fairy tale does not start with the prince, but jsut her, the princess and what she wants for herself. You've really done a great job portraying someone figuring out who they are and could be. Thirdly, you are developing the Jim/Pam relationship so nicely. I loved the scene of them on the subway on the ride home from the game. You are doing it with a kind of gentle ease and I like that a lot. Nothing is rushed, things just...are. And you are doing it all witha respect to Pam/Roy without having to make him the bad guy or an evil oaf. Lastly, we share so many music tastes, it's insane, so, um, really great music choices there. Really looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for the incredible review! If there are typos in this reply, I apologize but I just got home and my dog, Sadie, is all over me! Ahhh... She wants all of the attention. Haha. Anyway, thank you again. I'm so happy you are enjoying this story. These characters have been in my head nonstop all week, I'm starting to think I've gone mental. But I'm always picturing these cute little romantic storylines. The White Sox game and subway ride? Totally came to me when I was in the shower. Which may explain the rain. I don't know. I'm a crazy person. But I'm in love with this story, so it's very exciting to read your awesome review. Thank you!

I was laughing as I read about their trip to see the White Sox playoff game. (You want real rain? Come to Philly) Heh. Chicago baseball. Go Phils! ;)
I really enjoyed this chapter! And Jim's playlist is awesome. I <3 The Shins.

I really like this fic. i can't wait to see them finally get together and fall in love!

I'm loving this so far. I lived in Chicago last year (well, Evanston, if you want to get technical)and all the Chi-town references are making me nostalgic. I really enjoy the Pam/Angela friendship and the way you're keeping Angela's personality but fleshing out her warmer side. And I love the slow burn happening between Jim and Pam. Keep going!
Author's Response: I'm oh so cold and miserable up here in Chi-town. :( I bet you don't miss the winters here- that is unless you moved somewhere else up North where in that case, Cheers to 5 long months of cold weather! Haha. Thanks for all the kind comments, I'm happy you've enjoyed it so far. I've always thought Jenna and Angela's friendship in real life is just too adorable for words, so I'm trying to bring a little of that out in my story while keeping a little "Angela Martin" in there as well. :)

I have a feeling Pam's going to give the engagement ring back to Roy and then go to Jim's apartment to apologize & maybe have some sexy time only to find another girl (Katy or Karen?) there! But I'm an angst whore, so bring it on!

Sox > Cubs. Pam needs to convert completely.
Author's Response: I'm with you on that one. It's war at my household. My husband is a Cubbie and I'm a Sox fan. And then there are my parents. My dad's from Boston and has been a loyal Red Sox fan for years. My mom? Yankees. Opposites attract? Haha. Friends know to stay away from my household April-October.

I love this story and downloaded all the song I could find off the playlist.
Author's Response: Aww, thank you! I hope you enjoy the playlist. I'm secretly very proud of it. Only now, not so secretly. Haha.

Oooh like the cliffhanger you've left it on. I hope Pam isn't overcome by her emotions to say yes. Looking forward to next chapter
Author's Response: Thanks! I couldn't leave you guys with just that cliffhanger, because I know I would be slightly ticked if I was left hanging for too long. I hope you enjoy the new chapter. :)

oh ya and I love the use of facebook too. It's such a big part of my life, and like any students for that matter. I like the way you've incorporated it. It makes this story seem like it could realistically happen.
Author's Response: It's sad how much I rely on Facebook now. I even have the application on my phone. The invitations on facebook can be slightly annoying, though. My friends and I started using that Green Patch application, and we got ourselves into a little war, sending each other 12, 14 plants a day. I would log in after only an hour and have like 65 alerts. Although, I am proud to say I've saved over 40 square feet of rainforests. Oh, the things I do to procrastinate from doing actual work around the house. Haha.

hey! you started a new story yay. I'm normally really hesitant of the alternate reality fanfics but this one is really good actually. Because they still seem like themselves. And I love Chicago. I would love to live there. It's my absolute favourite american city. Well I'll definitely kept up with this one. Thanks so much for writing again! :)
Author's Response: Chicago is great, although we only get about three good months to spend outdoors. Around this time of year, I'm too scared to go outside because it's so cold and windy. I'm determined to look into a winter home in Florida or something. But other than that, the city is amazing. I hope you have been or will be able to visit the area sometime. :)

i love the submarines too! and i feel a certain kinship with pam since i switched from pre-med to english literature. yay humanities! anyways, can't wait to read more of this story!
Author's Response: May I just say I love your screen name, by the way? Seriously, awesome. I switched over to an English major from Journalism. :) English rocks! I feel like I should also apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors in this story. Sadly, as an English major, grammar and spelling is not a strong suit. And I feel so ashamed admitting that. Haha. Thanks for the review! :D

I'm really enjoying this! I'm not a huge AU fan but this is really working for me. Okay I have to tell you my beloved first dog, a golden retriever, was named Sadie. She died a few years ago and when I saw that it got me all misty-eyed.
Maybe this is just me but...when Pam said she was "transported back to the 10th grade" after Angela saying she slept with Dwight I kind of did a double-take. Really? Aren't you like 14 or 15 in 10th grade? I just thought that was really, really young to sleeping around and such. Maybe I'm just hopelessly naive.
I'm loving the Jim and Pam interaction too! Keep it coming :)
Author's Response: Aw, I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved Sadie! I love the name Sadie, I think it's so beautiful. I've always said if I ever had a daughter, I would name her Sadie. Instead, I got a Jack Russell Terrier. Her name is Sadie Harris. :) And not named after the Grey's Anatomy character. I was just informed there's a character on that show named Sadie Harris, and I just feel so robbed. Haha. rnrnWhen I was thinking back to Angela and Pam in high school, I remembered I turned 16 my sophomore year because that's when I got my first car. Which in my opinion, is still very young to start getting all frisky in bed, but hey... for the sake of the story. Haha. Thanks for the review! I'm glad your enjoying the story so far.

I really love a good AU and this seems to be joining the ranks of my favorites. I liked how you didn't present the typical obstacles between Jim & Pam and you also didn't have Jim fall over himself to date Pam either. I also like how Pam seemed more courageous in her exchanges with Jim & yes, Facebook is a ridiculously huge part of my life, being a college student and all.Hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Aww, thanks, elly! :) I like to think the Jim in this story is a neat little cross between Jim the character and John the actor. I love both equally. Haha.
Date: December 11, 2008 02:41 pm Title: Brighter Discontent
Hey I think this fic so far is fab. I'm a big AU fan. I like the situation you have set up, with Jim and Pam meeting for the first time and getting to know each other and developing their relationship without all the extra baggage they have from the actual show. I like how you've portrayed the two of them getting into such easy banter so quickly
Can't wait to see where you go with it, hoping for a quick update! :)
Author's Response: Thank you, Noodles! I was very hesitant to create a story in AU as I've never attempted one before, but I think it's fun to picture Pam and Jim outside the world of Dunder Mifflin. It's like no matter who they are or how they eventually meet, they're soul mates and are meant to spend the rest of their lives together
