What a nice story, MA! I haven't really been reading much fic lately (okay, almost no fic), but I always like the "how could things have been different" stories, and when you mentioned it was post-Diwali, well...you had me at post-Diwali.
Something like this should have happened! It's one of my JAM-fantasies come true. Good job. :)

Oh yay! This was such a sweet little "what if..." It's so nice to see S3 resolved so quietly (and quickly - take that GD!) Writing is fun when you haven't done it in a while right???

So nice, MA. Very sweet ending. Pleasantly surprised that she kissed him! This was a real treat.

I'm really enjoying this and this is a great, great nugget of truth:
If he had learned anything in Scranton, it was the art of repression
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, Jim and Pam both impressed me so much by their ability to avoid the obvious for three seasons.

Aww, MA, I loved how they were sort of talking about themselves when they were discussing Carol being put on the spot by Michael. Nice job with that.
Can't wait to see your alternate ending to this saga.
Author's Response: I always liked the parallels the writers often made between Jim and Pam's relationship and those of many other characters. It was my little homage. I've posted the last chapter. Hope you enjoy it! :)

The missing text messages of Pam's has always been a part of their story that has interested me so much. I think you have done such a wonderful job of conveying both their feelings of sadness, apprehensiveness with a little bit of hope.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It was one point that I was frustrated the writers left dangling so I had to play with it.TWSS. ;)

Well, yes, it needs another part! You can't leave us hanging! This is a very cute AU- shouldn't it have been this easy, this painless, this Karen-free?!
Author's Response: I took pity on the readers by finishing up the story a bit more and keeping Karen to a minimum. ;) Hope you enjoy the ending. :)

Perfectly willing to suspend belief for you, MA :) What a sweet chapter and to think there will be more!!!
This little bit of dialogue...
“Still, what a way to have your heart crushed. That’s gotta be hard to recover from.”
So there it is. The elephant in the room. He hears her take a deep breath.
“Well, you know… Poor Carol too. What a position to be in. I don’t think she meant to hurt or humiliate him.”
...is so perfect, so true to voice. Patiently awaiting more.
Author's Response: Thank you. I always worry about trying to be true to the characters. I'm glad to hear it worked for you. :)

I'm really liking it so far. Can't wait for them to meet up and talk :)
Author's Response: Thank you!

Ooh. You have me hooked. Like the flashback to explain her text message. Very believable. Like that it has him sleepless in Stamford. Intriguing....
(And in great minds moment - I've had a story idea for ages that departs from those last scenes in Diwali where Pam's driving Michael and Karen's driving Jim home...so, maybe this will inspire me to finally write the damn thing ;-) Anyway...nice sense of tension/anticipation without hitting us over the head with it. Really looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Author's Response: Oooo, I want to read that, Colette! There is something to be said for playing around with S3 angst. Thank you for your nice comments!

So, will Pam call Jim immediately? I'm betting she's awake and hears the beep for the text message!
Love this line:
If he had learned anything in Scranton, it was the art of repression.
Perfectly terse & tense. And true.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

First off, LOVE that Citizen Cope song and, sick pup that I am, it has brought to mind melancholy thoughts of Jim and Pam at various JAM-obsessed times. Anyway, really enjoyed this, MA. I love the back-story behind Pam's text--very in character. This silly little thing is my favorite detail: What say you, Cupid? I hope you can update again soon.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I love that song so much that I bought one of their albums. I am writing the next part; I will hopefully have it up tonight or tomorrow. :)

Look at you sneaky sneak. I love this. So glad to see you are writing again.
More soon please. :)
Author's Response: Yep, just happy to be writing again. This is a story where I had the first scene and the end point for the longest time, and I'd look at it occasionally but I could never connect those two parts in a way that was believable/acceptable to me. It's no masterpiece, but I'm kind of happy with it now. I should update very soon. :)

I wish we'd seen drunk singing Jim.
Loved it.
Author's Response: Agreed. Feel free to send my playlist to the writers. ;)

I am def pulled in by this story. The whole text message thing was always something that really bugged me and I felt like it was never explained so Im really enjoying this! Cant wait for more!
Author's Response: It's bugged me too, which is why I felt I had to write this. It's taken me a little longer than I wish but oh well... :) Thanks for your comment!

Great job. :)
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! The rest of the story will be coming soon.

So I have to confess that I have a soft spot for S3 fic - so much to pull from! I love this too because I don't think the Diwali near miss has been explored nearly enough! Can't wait to see how that phone call plays out :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :) I am partial to season 3 fic too because that was the time when things were really not going the way I wanted on the show. So what better fantasy fulfillment than writing it the way you wish it had played out? :)
Date: January 25, 2009 01:55 pm Title: Worse Evening
Yeah! I always hated that we never knew what did or didn't happen after she texted him. Can't wait for the phone call.
Author's Response: I hated that too! I may take a few liberties with what happened in season 3, but that's what fanfic is for. :) I promise not to have you wait too long on the call.
