Ooooof. This feels like a pretty good snapshot of Pam's Beach Games mindset, actually - I'm sure glad she got to the point of taking her risk sooner than she did in this piece!
Author's Response: The fans would have rioted had they strung us along much more. I remember thinking a lot about how they were just as distant in the same office as they had been when he was away. And how Pam needed to say something!

Short and sweet, but I love it!
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you! This was the 500th story posted to MTT, a long time ago!

500 days? I don't think Icould have lived if it really took her 500 days. Pam, 500 days is more than long enough!
Author's Response: I guess I should eventually do the math to see how long it really was between Casino Night and Beach Games. But I was working with a theme, here! ;)

You go Pam!
Really, though, I loved the subtle Kelly mention and the red shirt! (I still covet that shirt.)
Author's Response:
Thank you, m'dear.

So sad, yet so hopeful. That Pam would wait 500 days to make her move is just so...sad.
Author's Response: I think it would take something like, oh, Jim dating someone else, to make her wait so long. But yes, it is a sad thought! But "hopeful" is good, right? :)

Simply beautiful and congrats to MTT for the 500th fic and to you for writing it!
Author's Response: Thank you! And this place absolutely wouldn't be the same without your comments, so congrats to you as well!

I love this little look into Pam's head. I certainly hope that she doesn't wait that long, though!
Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun to write.

So when I accused Colette of being the teacher's pet the other day, it was actually you I should have called out? Hee! Congratulations my dear on #500! Unfortunately, like others, I am beyond depressed that it might actually take that long, but you have sufficiently planted bits of hope that could coalesce into a meaningful gesture. Thanks, lis!
Author's Response:
Hee, I totally am a teacher's pet. But I also thought this was a benchmark worth celebrating! Take heart- I was working with a theme; I don't actually believe they're going to string us along that long. Thank you!

Yes Go For It Pam. Great story to mark a wonderful number. Here's to the next 500.
Author's Response: Thanks! Let's hope she's actually quicker than this!

It astonishes me that you must've written this fairly quickly, because it's really....melodic is the word that comes to mind. I can't think of a better fic to mark the 500th post. Awesome.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. It was pretty quick, I guess, but it is so short that I was able to spend some time polishing it up. As always, I appreciate your comment. Thanks!

She looked at the notepad, with the dashes and slashmarks marking the time since he'd taken his risk.
She's marking off days like she's in a prison of her own making. So good, lis! What a perfect 500th story.
Author's Response: Wow, I didn't even think of that. I'm so profound! Hee. Thank you so much!

I checked to see if this was also 500 words because I am that big of a dork. FYI - you are 159 words shy.
Please don't let it take that long. I might just spontaneously combust.
But yay! 500th Story!! Woooo![/pam]
Author's Response:
Oooh, I wish I would have thought of that! I am totally that much of a dork.
Thank you!

Hooray for this milestone, and hooray for this fic! I'm just amazed at how in so few words you can capture the essence of this distance between them. And I swear if it takes Pam 500 days to get the lead out we'll all really be in trouble! Great job Lis!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I think I would have to jump through my tv and throttle her. :)

Always, though, the space, and the growing pile of days, lurked behind his eyes and under his laughter and inside his smile.
How do you do that? Every single fic has some line that just haunts. Gah. Behind and under and inside. Eee.
And, holy crap, let's hope it doesn't take 500 days! Maybe 365, for May sweeps. I can handle that ;)
Awesome, Lis!
Author's Response: Thank you, shan! The problem is that I usually only manage one really good line per fic... :) :)

Yay you! Congrats for taking on the challenge of being #500. Anyone could have posted something and made the mark but you went above and beyond and wrote a damn good fic in the process! I love it. "A smile made it better, a joke almost made her forget." Beautiful. I always love the short and sweet fics that leave you wanting it to continue.
Author's Response: I saw that we were hovering at 499 and I came up with the idea; I decided if we weren't at 500 by the time I got home I'd try to type it out and post it quickly. I'm so glad you actually liked it!

Can I jinx the previous reviewer, kathrynann? I cannot last 500 days, God only knows how Pam could. Sheesh. I might forgive you if you write another chapter with the payoff :o)

Go Pam! Making a move... :) Thank you for the five hundred-themed story, lis!
Author's Response: Yeah, this is ultra-cautious Pam making her really slow move. Hee. It was my pleasure!

I liked it but good God, if Pam takes 500 days to make her move my head will explode ;) Yay for MTT!
Author's Response: Yeah, it was a leeetle bit contrived, I know. I just have a really well-developed sense of the super-corny. Thanks!! :)
