Ooooooh what do you have planned nowhe's with Karen. This is so good :)
Author's Response: You've gotta feel bad for Karen, you really do. Glad you're enjoying it!!

It's official, I'm hooked. I keep checking for updates on this one. I can't wait for the merger. This should be interesting.
Author's Response: Wow, another one hooked. So glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review!

Oh for the love of God, Jim, kick Karen to the curb, uh, I mean to New York and head to Scranton! Thanks for the quick updates.
Author's Response: I know, isn't it just frustrating? Thanks for the review!
Date: February 21, 2011 07:16 am Title: Chapter 7
Wow! First off, so happy to see an update! You took me by surprise. I mean, I know this is the bizarro world of S3 but I didn't anticipate the merger. I like this version of it because it eliminates the element of Jim feeling responsible for Karen's move to Scranton. [Just wanted to point out, by the way, that at one point you mention Jim moving to Stamford rather than Scranton] I'm enjoying Pam's bond with her baby-to-be, her happy and protective feelings. I also like that Pam has a support network. So excited to learn what you have in store :)
Author's Response: First off, thanks for catching that typo, geez, I shouldn't edit at one in the morning. Yeah, I wanted Karen more accountable for her own actions but more so, want this story to be about how Jim and Pam's own stubborn and obtuseness get in the way of their happiness. I really wanted to give Pam a support network because the whole story would be too depressing if she was alone as she seemed in season three. So glad you're enjoying it and I hope you like what's coming up next!

YAY!! The merger is here!!! Awesome, totally awesome!

Oh Optimistic Pam, Damn girl just damn... Great Update by the way and even when they are not together they think about each other. Karen better be ready for the JAM that is about to reign on thee. Great stuff please keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review, yeah, I love Pam trying to hold her head up high about everything. Oh, Karen, you really have to feel sorry for you, don't you.

Fantastic! Cant wait for next chapter.
Btw, think there was a typo “You want to promote me…if I move to Stamford.” I think you meant Scranton right?
Author's Response: Thanks so much for catching that typo! It was a little late when I edited and I'm bound to miss things when I'm tired. Hope you like what's next!

Even without any JAM, I loved this chapter! I'm assuming the next chapter is the merger... can't wait to see what you have planned for that!
Author's Response: Thanks, so glad you liked it! You're assumption is correct ;)

It has been ages since I have read or even reviewed a fanfic, but this one has me crawling out of the woodwork. I am a big fan of AUs and your story has it all. Just the right amount of new mixed with old. I also love the way you wrote Pam's reasons for not calling Jim in this chapter. So in character with who she was in Season 3 and who she would be in an AU situation like this.
Each new chapter is a highlight of my day. Keep up the incredible work!
Author's Response: Wow, I'm incredibly flattered that you came back to leave a review, thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it!! So glad you found Pam Pam-like, I really try to work at characterization and yes, Pam is still growing at this point just like in the show. Hopefully, you enjoy what's next!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! He did NOT just do that!!!!!! You are killing me here...in a good way, but killing me nonetheless. Please oh please update soon,'cause I'm dying. Dying I tell you! I may not be able to sleep tonight. My obsession is now full blown. *sigh* Ok, I'm glad there will be more of this to read and I do trust you. ::bites nails::
Author's Response: Oh no....thanks so much for trusting me because it's going to get worse before it gets better. Yup, I'm a 1/4 of the way done, there's a ton more to this story but hold on it's going to get bumpy. :)

Oh,Jim Jim Jim. You are in a right little pickle, eh?
Author's Response: More than he thinks ;) Thanks so much!!

Jim! Listen to your messages!! Ugh! Love this. More please!
Author's Response: Lol, I know, I kinda love that one missed message is going to be snowball into a crazy mess. Glad you're loving it, more soon!

Yum, I just read the last four chapters in succession and this is made of awesome sauce. I love how you've woven things that happened on the show into the story in a new way, and you've given us pretty darn hot smut as well. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Awesome, so glad you ate up nearly everything in one go! So glad you're enjoying it, thanks so much for the review!

Oh! Fantastic! I've been hooked on this story since you first posted it, but I'm a terrible reviewer. (Forgive me!)
I've been wondering how you were going to keep Pam from communicating this important news to Jim for a while now, and I have to say, that was amazing! The missed phone message is spot-on perfection! It leaves them with yet another miscommunication, rather than Pam deliberately not telling Jim (which, ouch, that's dang hard to come back from) or something.
I am basically on the edge of my seat, eagerly waiting for the next chapter. You're a wonderful writer and I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: It's all good, I forgive you, so glad you felt you could come out and review, I very much appreciate it. I'm so glad you mention Pam's decision because I knew that the last line would get the most attention, so I'm glad you mentioned this. To be honest, Jim's morning's were easy to write, trying to come up with why Pam would not take a chance? Very difficult and I struggled coming up with a plausible solution to why wouldn't call back. I'm so glad you liked it and so glad you're on board for more!! Thanks so much for the compliment!

ahhhh jim! noooo!
I looove the contrast between the 2 mornings. First Jim desperate for Pam not to leave and then Karen desperate for Jim to not want her to leave.
Author's Response: YAY! I'm so glad you like the parallelism between the two mornings. I had a lot of fun doing that. I liked the idea that, for Jim, waking up with Pam, even though it was one night, was how it's supposed to be and waking up with Karen, despite him knowing her longer, was more like a one-night stand. Glad you enjoyed it!!

*Fanning herself* OKay, okay.... this is good. But Jim has to call her back, righ?? RIGHT??
Author's Response: Um, well, it's hard to call someone back when a) you don't have their number and b) you don't know they called in the first place. Unfortunately, Jim won't be returning that call. But I'm a firm believer that the universe does correct itself when something is off. ;) Thanks for the review!

Oh, Jim. ::bitchslap::
I see we're going to wander further down the lane of missed communication and misunderstanding... I like it. :)
Author's Response: Oh, that we are...this is only the beginning. Thanks for the review!

The smutt was smutt-tactic! Aside from that, the love and the fire between them felt so real. I love that this is sort of mixing in stuff from the show. I love their phone call and I really... Just gah I love it all and really can't wait to read more! I'm becoming addicted to this story. Love. It.
Author's Response: Ah, thanks so much!! Glad it felt so real to you.

Oh, I think we're all going to walk the other way if we run into JK. ;)
Nicely done. I like how you're weaving in elements of the show. But why didn't she call him? :(
Author's Response: Thanks so much! The same reason she didn't call him after she dumped Roy after Casino Night ;) No, no, I will get into it in the next chapter, no worries. :)

Okay,first time writing smut? REALLY? You'd never have guessed. That wasawesome. It was the right amount of hot, and then you throw in their conversation at the end, and I'm definitely excited about the next chapter :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much, that was a little nerve wrecking to post. Yes, that really was my first time. (TWSS, lol) Glad you like it!

::claps wildly:: Congrats on popping your smut cherry! Bwahahahahahaha! That was HAWT...and funny and just wonderful. This did not seem like your typical one night stand. There was such love. Speaking of love, I love, love, love this story. That phone call still drives me nuts, even in this context. Tell him you weren't talking to him, Pam!!!! Tell him! You don't have to hang up!!!
These two have such palpable chemistry. You've conveyed that beautifully. If you ever run into John K., you should ask him if he wants to do a table read ;)
Author's Response: Oh, my, NanReg, if I interpret the way I think you mean that, then you are one dirty lady ;) Thanks so much for the review. Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be like a one-night stand. I agree about the phone call, the end of the Initiation still breaks my heart every time I watch it.
