I don't know how you do it but you've managed to wrote a story about drunk Jim (which I love) and made it sweet, hot, and just perfect. The way Pam took care of him, the humor of the situation and of course, the hot sex ;o) Oh yeah, and the fact that he kept Pam's text after all this time? This is the second story of yours that I've read and judging by the ribbons on the other stories, I'm pretty sure I'll be gushing about the others as well :o) I really loved this. Great job!
Author's Response: Oh my, this is a really old one! When I read my older stuff, have to admit, all I see are the flaws ;-) So, of course, I'm really pleased you liked it. Thanks so much for the very generous review, bkwrm!

Wowzy wow wow. That was hot. And so sweet. You have a gift, Colette!!!!
Author's Response: Ha! Too kind ;-) Pleased that the heat still works in this old thing. Thanks so much, wendolf.

Hee!! Drunk!Jim, yummy kissage, cute banter, sweet fluffy goodness... exactly what I wanted to read. =)
Author's Response: Wow...you really are delving into the back catalogue, lol. Have to admit, this one feels very far from what I'm trying to do writing-wise these days, but I'm glad it was still a fun read. Thanks, Finer Things!

Me again.
Thanking you again.
Guh.
Author's Response: Drop by any time...this was was my schmaltziest...try reading 'Okay' for the other end of the spectrum. And thank you again!

I would read the informational inserts in my prescriptions if you wrote them, because at least then I'd know it'd be both awesome and hot.
Author's Response: Wow, that's got to be one of the best, and most original, reviews I've ever received. Thanks for the awesome review! (And btw, know anyone in the pharmaceutical biz who needs a freelance writer?)

Sigh. Deep, deep sigh. Reading your fics is like...I don't know, opening a big box of chocolates - I know it'll always be heaven, I swear. (What a lame analogy - sorry; I'm exhausted!) Seriously, though, this was beautiful and erotic and so real. This: Actually sleeping with him. It was like escaping to a private universe, where all that existed was the warm protective comfort of his body and the lulling sound of his breathing in her ear. It was as close to perfect as anyplace she’d ever been.
....was amazing. Just amazing. I swear, I just feel all dreamy and sigh-ish now. Excellent work, as always!
Author's Response: I'll take chocolates. Glad you swooned, sighed, etc. I think I purged myself of MA details for a while with this one. Ah, yes....actual sleeping. Maybe more intimate than all the rest, no? Thanks, as always for being an amazing audience (and reviewer)!

When I picture what happens when the cameras leave...when I picture what happens after all is said and done and we don't get to peek into their lives every Thursday...you write it EXACTLY the way I hope it happens.
And I LOVE that you do. :)
You've inspired me to finish Firsts ASAP cause this was just too delicious.
Thank you.
Author's Response:
You know, I almost abandoned this - thought it was too trivial (as if fanfic has to be James Joyce?). But, if for no other reason, if it gets you to finish Firsts, I'm glad I did!
And yeah, I love imagining the 'what if' possibilities...glad you can relate! Sadly, I think I feel a more angsty one coming on next. I guess it all depends on what happens Thursday (of course, if I don't like it, I'll just make up my own version...the beauty of fanfic.) Thanks, as ever, for weighing in.

Gave me a wonderfully warm feeling. great job.
Author's Response: I'm glad it did. I bet Pam felt pretty warm too! Thanks alot!

This was just lovely. That has to be the very best way to wake up in the morning.
Author's Response: Yeah, Pam is one lucky girl...who wouldn't want an alarm clock like Jim? Thanks so much!

Loved this. A favourite! Loved Loved Loved this!
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! So happy you liked it!

Thank God there are people out there that just want to live in Fantasy Land just like me! I LOVED this. This is exactly the kind of story I want right now. Just total "what if they were already together and their life was like THIS" kind of stories. Way to go!
Author's Response: Well, skipping to the part where they're already together means not having to predict what's 'really' going to happen (cause, I have no clue!) and provides instant gratification - which is my middle name. Thanks for joining me in fantasy land!

This is me, melting. So good. Thank you.
Author's Response: Your welcome. Spontaneous Halpert Hydroplosion claims another victim...he seems to have that effect. And thank you!

Colette, seriously, you always capture the most breathtaking images in words. There are far too many to even pick one as my favorite but when I read this? You had me (as always) after about 2 sentences. I'm honored to have been your enabler on this. Brava!
Author's Response: Well, IOU an enabling session now! Seriously, w/o your seal of approval, I probably would have sat on this ad infinitum. So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks again!

Sleeping with Jim had become one of Pam’s favorite things…and not just in that sense. Actually sleeping with him. It was like escaping to a private universe, where all that existed was the warm protective comfort of his body and the lulling sound of his breathing in her ear. It was as close to perfect as anyplace she’d ever been.
Guh. There are not words for how much I loved this.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, there's something so initmate about the actual sleeping part that just seemed to fit here...glad it worked for you too.

Fantastic, as always. I always get so excited when I see you've written something new!
Author's Response: Thank you so much...and what a lovely thing to say! Really appreciate the feedback!
Date: November 05, 2006 06:52 pm Title: Chapter 1
Beautiful, as always. l like the idea of her text message being his "message in a bottle." So sweet. Nicely done.
Author's Response: Well, very kind, as always! And, I really did used to search for bottles with messages on the beach...one more thing JH and I have in common. Thanks so much!
Date: November 05, 2006 06:46 pm Title: Chapter 1
ah - yay for nice happy Jim/Pam togetherness. I think the best stories are the ones that link past and present - just like life. :-)
Hurray for you! (and agreement on Par5 - she's awesome!)
Author's Response: I figure we won't see much togetherness on the show for a while, so why not invent it? Thanks!
Date: November 05, 2006 06:31 pm Title: Chapter 1
I love it when you give hope for a happy, fluffy ending on the show. Missed text messages came full-circle here, but it all worked out (and how!) in the end.
Author's Response: Well, my last fic was much starker and less hopeful, so I needed to balance it out. And, just felt like writing some steam. Glad you enjoyed!
Date: November 05, 2006 06:29 pm Title: Chapter 1
I was so excited to see a new story from you! And as always, you didn't disappoint. Loved it.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! So glad you weren't disappointed...we aim to please!
Date: November 05, 2006 06:25 pm Title: Chapter 1
"so good" ~~ Colette, you never disappoint! The way you incorporate dialogue & plot lines from the show give me hope that this will happen! Thanks for this!
Author's Response: Thanks, lisahoo! You never disappoint either, in leaving quick feedback! Somehow, don't think we'll be seeing this on the show (unless HBO starts running it.) But glad you liked it!
