Ryan? LOL I did not see that one coming. What an awesome twist. Can't wait to read what comes next
Author's Response: Glad I could come up with something compelling. It's a lot of fun to have all these twists and turns locked away and then to be able to bring them out like this. Thanks for the feedback.

Love that end twist! Hope Jim takes it in stride, but I somehow doubt it...
Great for Pam though! I too am a sucker for her finding her strength really early and that was awesome! Especially the slap. Well written too.
Author's Response: Thanks. It's almost like a challenge I set for myself with this story. Can I end each chapter with a cliffhanger? Glad this one came across well. Pam's realized she's got another chance with Jim and no one, not even big boorish Roy, is going to get in the way of that.

Omg I laughed out loud when I read the last word. I really liked it!
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying this so much.

Ha! Great ending for a very nice chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks. The ending was kind of a whim so I'm glad it came across well.

“What’s the last thing you remember before you passed out?”
Jim looked back at Pam. It looked like fear was starting to creep back into her eyes. No, not again. Not ever again. “A beautiful woman told me she loved me for the first time.” Just, just classic. Another great story. Thank you
Author's Response:
Thanks. It's been a lot of fun to write this story. I'm very glad you're enjoying it so much.

Why does the moment have to be interrupted by Roy??!!!
Loving this story, hope you post the next chapter soon. And I hope poor Jim doesn't get his face smashed in. He just recovered from fainting !
Author's Response: Because he's Roy and while he's still around Dunder-Mifflin that's kind of what he does. Glad you're enjoying reading this one as much as I am writing it. Thanks for the review. Hope to hear more from you going forward.

I should have known you'd make sure they called the EMTs. Although if Jim was really out long enough for them to actually be called and arrive, probably justified.
I like where you're taking this...Roy returning is gold (I was wondering if it'd be Karen ala the fic on this site where Pam and Jim are doing inventory and Karen comes by with a pizza and catches them making out). Jim's gallant words about what he remembers are a treat. Looking forward to where this goes (and how you do eventually deal with the Karen complication). Great work.
Author's Response:
I've read several fics here and other places where EMS is called in. Most of the time the author gets EMS wrong, understandably so since most authors aren't EMT's or paramedics. So when I get a chance to add in EMS, it's my goal to make sure to let people know what it's really like. And yes I've responded to calls similar to this where someone just fainted, we showed up, checked them out, and they refused transport to the ED.
As far as Karen goes? I've got something special in mind.

Oh boy. This is really the gift that keeps on giving: the most fic-worthy blooper of all time, adorable JAM times and angry Roy (I love me some angry Roy drama). I can’t wait to see what the next installment will bring!
Author's Response: Thank you. I've got a bunch of fun ideas brewing for this story. Hopefully you'll find them just as engaging.

Aw! One of my favorite bloopers! This was fun. Thanks.
Author's Response: Thanks, there's more coming so it'll be fun to see how this all pans out.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but I love this so much! That has to be my all time favorite blooper and I always kind of hoped someone would write a fic about it. I especially love your writing style and I'm really excited for the rest of this! :)
Author's Response: Well thank you. I'm honored you decided this was worthy of a comment. It's a great blooper and is just made for an AU. It'll be fun to explore that's for sure.

Bahahaha!! I was hoping you meant THAT blooper. What a reaction!! I suspected what was coming but still laughed out loud when I read “THUMP”! Nice way to cut the tension for sure and I’m excited to see where you take this!
Author's Response: Thanks. It'll be fun to explore this one to be sure.

What?! I've never seen that part of the blooper reel. Where have I been all these time?!
Author's Response: Go to the MTT instagram page and scroll down a bit. Last Christmas they rated all the Christmas episodes in terms of JAM-ness. They added an "alternative ending" to Benihana Christmas which became the inspiration for this fic.

Hey what?? Lol, I'm actually rereading the last part to make sure I read that right. Wow, amazing start!
Author's Response: The part where Jim faints you mean? Yeah, it was a fun moment on the blooper reel that just begged to be turned into a fic. Glad to start bringing it to life.

What a great use of that blooper! And the Jack Ryan bit? Perfect!
Author's Response: I was hoping someone would catch the Jack Ryan bit there. I mean how could I not add it in? It's like a given! Thanks for the review.

Can't wait to read the next chapter. I liked it a lot. :)
Author's Response: Thank you. Should be a fun story to explore.

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I have been dying for someone to take that blooper and turn it into magic and here we are. I’m so excited to see where you go with it. I can’t express how overjoyed I am that this is happening. Also, anytime is a good time for a Christmas fic. Did I mention that I am very, very happy that you’re writing this...
Author's Response: You know, you may have mentioned it once or twice. :) Granted I'm changing it up a bit, since Dwight deserves to be waiting for his helicopter after all. However this should be fun. Thanks for the support.

Hee. Nothing wrong with a good old standard choice for a place to go AU, but I have to say I love the choice of exactly when and how. Poor Jim, but I think he'll recover. Hope Pam doesn't run embarrassedly into the night too quickly.
Author's Response: Yeah that blooper reel shot is just to good to not turn into a fic. As for what happens next? Well, we'll just have to have some fun now won't we? Thanks for the review.
