P.S. I absolutely loved the fact that he called her Georgia. So cute. Maybe that's why Jim didn't recognize her in the present, because he thought she was named Georgia...
Also, I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt, what a lovely way to honor her through this story.
Author's Response: Thanks! There had to be some way to get Pam away without actually using her name. And thanks so much for the kind words. I wasn't actually close with my aunt, but now that she's not around, I wish I'd had the opportunity to know her better.

OH MY GOSH! That made me so deliriously happy that their first kiss was with each other. Daring Jim by the way, but I like it. Great job, and this was the best chapter ever. I just love stories where they met in the past and didn't know it. KEEP GOING!
Author's Response: Daring Jim, indeed. Like I said in my end notes on the last chapter, I actually had a guy pull that move on me, looking at a painting in a hallway when I was 16.
Confession time: the story idea came when, after watching several hours of Office DVDs, I had a dream (NOT REAL!!) that two certain actors who shall remain nameless (wink wink) were on a talk show together and came to the realization that they'd shared a similar experience to the one young Jim and Pam shared. Obviously writing a story like that would be inappropriate, but the idea was fun, so I translated the scenario to the characters. I'm glad you like how it's going. Thanks as always for sharing thoughts; it's a pleasure to hear from you.

Oh my goodness! How cute! How did they not know each other?! Can't wait to read more
Author's Response: I know, I thought about that too. But truthfully they only spent about 5 minutes together as teenagers. I don't think I'd recognize a lot of the people I met (and yes, kissed) as a teenager if they punched me in the face. So hopefully it works. Good question, though. Thank you for writing!

This was sweet, ivy. I found it even more touching knowing the personal details you put into it. So sorry about your aunt. We lost my MIL to breast cancer. As a result, I take part in the Race for the Cure each Mother's Day. It's a good time to think about her and others. Love that Pam's grandfather calls her "Georgia"--very cute :)
Author's Response: Good for you, Nan. I wasn't close with my aunt, so her death didn't really affect me terribly, though I find myself wishing I'd gotten to know her better as time passes (and as death becomes a more frequent part of life as I get older). Thanks so much for reading.

You do amazing young Jim and Pam, I am so happy that the end of Smelden and the Muffin, doesn't mean the end of your young Jim and Pam.
Now will you please explain why Pam was a no-show at the 1992 bonfire?
Author's Response: Yes'm.
Young Pam and Jim are a lot of fun, both to write and to read. And speaking of read, anyone know where OnlyOneKitchen is? Let's get on with The Boy Next Door!!
Thanks for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I'll explain why Pam was a no show.

Okay so didn't see that coming, that was freaking awesome. I love it. She never showed up, poor Jim aw ;)
You said this was less dialouge than you usually used, but it really worked =)
Update like right now :)
Author's Response: Well, right after, she met this really cute boy with glasses and hair parted down the middle who seduced her with sexy talk about beets.
So glad you enjoyed it!

You've really got my attention, ivy. This has a quiet, intimate feel that draws the reader in IMHO. I hope you'll continue.
Author's Response: Thanks, Nan. The next couple chapters will be different, so I hope you enjoy them. I appreciate you taking the time to write. Always great to hear from you.

Oooo, I like this, and there's another chap!
Author's Response: Thanks! And yes! Two more now. Sorry, got behind on my responses.

This is lovely; I'm looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, pigeon. I hope you'll enjoy what's coming next. Thanks for reviewing.

Aww, I love this so much. Keep going! If you start writing, I'll get back to my homework - kapesh?
Author's Response: Homework, young lady, or no fan fic for you!

You tease!!! What happens noooooow?
Love Jim showing her his old car, and hell he has to talk to Karen soon lol.
Updateeee. this was great!
Author's Response: Oh, the wicked things I could tell you that happen now...
Kidding, kidding.
Thanks for reviewing, Hannah!

Awww...this is nice. I like to imagine that Jim would've consoled Pam like this if he'd found her crying in Back From Vacation. He's being such a good friend.
Can't wait to see the talk that Jim is planning to give to Karen.
Author's Response: I think he would have too. I know he would have.
But, um... don't kill me, but I don't know if we will see a Jim/Karen talk. It kind of all depends on whether the spirit (and you all) move me to take this beyond a short. It was really only planned for 3-4 chapters, but if enough people want it to expand longer, I'm definitely willing to consider that.

Woohoo!!! A new story from you!
Liking this so far even if it's set in the uber-angsty S3. It's hard to resist the Jim the Knight-in-shining-armor.
The only problem I can see with this story is that it's rated K. What's up w/ that?! ;o) Okay...I'll stop heckling you now.
Author's Response: Hmmm... maybe at the end I'll change the rating and they'll have stairwell sex.... ;-)

Aww, this is such a multi-emotional story. I really like it, sadness, silliness, awkwardness, you name it. Very nicely done. I hope you'll continue this (even if you intended it to be just a one shot), it's really good!
Author's Response: Thanks, pmh! It's going to be a short one (3-5 chapters, I think). The second chapter is awaiting moderator approval. Glad you're liking it!
Date: March 08, 2010 11:33 am Title: Hey, fizzy purple, I ain't missing you
Aw. Glad to see you back. Update soon?
Author's Response: New chapter posted. Will be up soon! Thanks for replying. Looking forward to knowing your thoughts.

Great start, I'm looking forward to more, soon I hope! I love the ch. title too.

"I want waffles." You know that does him in - again. He can't lie anymore after that. Sweet.
Author's Response: No one can lie when there are waffles involved.
I love Thursdays too. Which is tomorrow. Yay!
Thank you so much for reviewing.
