Okay, first of all, Wade?? Always annoys me and is interrupting Jam. Secondly, love the family craziness… so appropriate of where Jam is in their life. And Jim being charmed by Cece… she’s def a daddy’s girl and she knows it! Again, I def think Jim should come home and surprise Pam! Wade can babysit. He at least owes them that much. And I owe you tons for this sweet little Valentines treat!!! Hope your day was as lovely and sweet as this! You’re the best!
Author's Response: Ah thank you! And you're the best too!!

The other most angsty Valentines Day!!! And that the message wasn’t delivered??? Heart breaking. This was before lunch and they went home to fight right?? Right. Ugh. Again, how you capture the moment they’re in with simply the objective evidence is crazy!!! I don’t love this chapter but I love it, you know?? Makes the good better!
Author's Response: I'm so sorry!! But at least I didn't end it here!!

My hot take is that Jim DEF knew he was posting publicly. And can you see Cathy FB stalking and seeing that message??? Best part of this miles apart Valentines Day. Although, I think after the baby puke update, Jim should quickly fly home and make good on his FB wall promise— and maybe cuddle with his littlest Valentines as well!
Author's Response: I think so too!

I’m in love with this. From Pam’s 5000 jims to Jim’s s e x this captured that sweet day and this super fun Valentines Day. If you don’t love drunk Jam IMing each other, I don’t want to know you. For real.
Author's Response: Ah thank you so much!

Was this in pen clicks or blinks?? I love the little mistakes they’re making too. And I’m sure your Morse code is excellent and correct— I didn’t check! Did they have this exchange at work? Did Dwight just lose his mind??? You’re so damn creative!! In awe!
Author's Response:
Ah thank you!
And I like to think this was just at home, them practising!

Oh Creed. Did you really have to make an appearance in my Jammy Valentines Day? Hilarious tangents though, and I hear them all in his voice. Love the appropriate shoutouts from the rest of the DM crew… and no Creed. She’s not Pammy. Pammy should be banished… with Roy. Thanks for the history lesson!!! Love this cute fic!!
Author's Response:
Haha!! But he fit so well here!
Thanks so much! again!

I had to read this one several times. I’m trying to think about where they were in season 4… did we really not have a Valentines Day? OHHHH I think I get it now!!! Jim is pranking PAM!!!! And she responds by putting his prized jersey for sale!!!!! Got it. Well done you! No troubles in paradise… he’s not really looking for a blonde.. great callback to when Jim is asked if he prefers brunettes or redheads. Clever, clever, clever! Making me think!!! Love this now that I get it!!!
Author's Response: Season 4, they were together but there was the hiatus. But yes, you got it there with the prank and her response. Just a little fun from the two of them

UGH!! As unsettling as season 3. And Karen? You can definitely feel the disconnect of season 3 in this call. Great job on this angsty Valentines Day!!

Ooh. Pam’s a little chilly in this one, even with the minimal words of telegram. However, she did start the telegrams so…. Always finding that hope for Jim!!! What if she would have gone to the card party? Woulda been a good Valentine’s Day, Pam!! Ugh. Why did it take so long for them to get together??? This is a darling idea, btw!
Author's Response:
I think she definitely had hope, but also knew she couldn't do much with it!
And thank you!

I love waking up on a holiday and seeing a new fic— you never miss the holidays and it’s impressive! You totally wrote this in a lovely Victorian style! I can just imagine Jim and Pam at their respective writing desks with fancy stationery. Is this what was in Jim’s Christmas card? Cause it’s pretty damn good! And depressing. But we know they’ll get there! I must say, in true Victorian times I’d imagine it would be very inappropriate for Pam to be writing an available male suitor when she is betrothed to another… I hope Victorian Jim would know that and keep that hope in his heart. Lots of love friend!! Happy Valentines Day!
Author's Response:
Well thank you very much!
Yes, I like to think they were both at mahogany desks with quills writing away!

Ah the chaos of the modern age. The kids get into the act here and they're a ton of fun. Cece has Jim wrapped around her finger. Phil is a prankster in training and Jim is doing his best to make sure he and Pam connect. Loved it all. Wish I still had some jellybeans to give this one.
Author's Response: Ah thank you!! Makes me very happy you like it :)

Yeah, this one stings a bit. They're just kind of going through the motions at this point, which hurts. Especially there at the end when she's still trying to connect and can't. Granted we know it works out, but going though it was still rough.
Tons of fun with all of these. I'm sure it was quite interesting looking up all those methods of communication. Even if some didn't work they way you wanted, they all still came across well from my viewpoint. Great job.

Oh now you're taking me back to the good days of Facebook. Back when there was so much more of this kind of thing and so many less ads or clickbait. Jim's comment on her public wall raised a grin and an eyebrow. Then again this was right around when Cathy was hitting on him so maybe he's saying that to ensure everyone knows there was no way he'd be unfaithful.
Author's Response: I was thinking of having Pam and Cathy become Facebook friends, but I just didn't want her anywhere near the fic!!

Tons of fun with a good old drunk IM session. Loved the discussion when they got back online too. They get funny when they're drunk and that played out really well here. See you in 9 months Phil!

Speaking from another writer who has put Morse Code into his story, I see you and I feel you. I imagine there was a lot of going back and forth between a diagram of the code and your writing document.
Lovely bit of banter. I also liked how you put in the mistakes. Show's that they're still learning and occasionally get things wrong. Delightfully realistic in that regard.
Author's Response:
Yes! It's very hard!! I checked it SO many times!
The mistakes were my favourite part, I have to say!

Creed as the DJ who goes off on tangents fits so very well here. Thing is, he'd probably do really well. I get the feeling that playing music would just come naturally to him.
Loved all the shoutouts. Jim and Pam missing each other and also Pam still joking around was a lot of fun too.
Author's Response:
I thought so too! I'd kind of like to listen to a show of him!
And thank you!

This feels like they're pranking each other a bit. Which really fits since they're finally together. Great fun with that perspective. They're back to being the fun loving couple they always are.
Also thanks for the bit of sports history.
Author's Response: Yeah I thought a nice little prank on their first Valentine's Day together would be kinda fun!

One can just feel the awkwardness between them here. Yes they're in relationships, but not with who they're in love with. S3 just always hits hard like that. Big difference between the two men here. Roy's idea is just a diner. Jim's a fancy dinner.
The last two lines though just tug at all the heartstrings.
Author's Response: Definitely a very hard time here. And yes those last two, but I had to put them in there!!

Oh Pam, hoping but failing to get anything. It was always a bit heartbreaking whenever they didn't talk or communicate.
I do like that Jim was still trying to include her, but she's just not ready for it yet.
Author's Response: It was heartbreaking! Such a hard episode for them (and me!!)

So this was quite charming. Fitting for the era no doubt. I could also see a modern Jim and Pam writing these to each other just for fun as well.
That Jim wrote out his true feelings first in such flowery language then crossed it all out was quite fitting as well. Onwards to more.
Author's Response:
Thank you!
The crossing out was my first challenge! Luckily that worked out ok!!
