Haha. This was great! The line "Slide that box back in your pocket dipwad" was awesome!
Author's Response: Hee, thanks! :)

Yes! Jim would have totally had really simple gut responces to this event. I really liked the style of writing that you used to convey Jims thoughts. Who would call themselves Nard Dog anyway?
I'd love it if you would read my story After the fireworks and tell me what you think. Maybe you could follow up this story with a chapter on Pam's thoughts. I'd like that.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I really like writing this way too. I have another story posted called What Hurts the Most that was actually at one point a back and forth style between Jim and Pam's thoughts. It got a little out of control and I ended up taking it back down to the original first chapter, but it was fun nonetheless. I have just created a series I call Ruminations so I plan on writing more "thought" style stories but they'll mostly be stand alones.
I'd love to read your story. I'll check it out and let you know my thoughts for sure!

I love the not quite all that linear stream of consciousness thing you do. Lord knows that my thoughts don't stay all that on target even under the most serious of situations. Mmm... pie...
Author's Response:
Exactly. :)
I love that you read my not quite linear stream of consciousness.

Taken off a recommendation from Mose -- this was beautiful.

Hmmm... that reminds me of some things...
Also, the caller ID thing? Hilarious.
Author's Response:
Hmmm...my guess I know what these things are that they remind you of...just guessing ;)
Thanks Wert, you're the best!

Oh wow... I could really feel Pam's angst in this chapter. Like she's really hurt and confused and upset. I feel so bad for her, and wish I could do something to help her feel better.
Author's Response:
She is (was), I can't really figure out my tenses, I'm sure you would do anything to make her feel better. You're a good guy CM.
Thanks for the review...don't leave your computer there will be another chapter soon. Good stuff too. Happier, smuttier (I know you're not a big fan but give it a shot), JAMier, all the "-ier" words I can think of.Date: August 13, 2007 02:26 pm Title: What Hurts The Most
the more smut the merrier!
Author's Response: I brought the smut, hope it was decent. :)

So I've been noticing that Pam has been calling Jim a "dork" more often these days. And I think that's both hilarious and sweet. One of the things that's so cute about them is their tendency to verbalize their emotions to each other in rather child-like ways. Hence, the "dorks" and "I hate yous." Very funny, yet also very, very sweet and endearing.
Just like this story! :)
Author's Response: Yep Pam can't help it...he's such a dork!

wow..that jester is kinda creepy! But bring on the smut!! Can't wait fort the next awesome part!
Author's Response: Yeah I'm not really sure why I chose it (the jester), but...just felt the need you know?

I don't know where you got "flusterificated," but I'm sure that it's just another sign of your genius. :) Fantastic chapter, m'dear, full of awesomnosity and splendorifituitousness. For realsies.
Author's Response: Hmmm, I don't remember where I got it but I think it was some silly guy going around calling himself Cousin Mose, what kind of name is that anyway? ;) It's nowhere near dmscranton, I mean come on!

“I like the simple homeless look.” Don't we all....
Heh. You wrote 'merger'!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you caught that :). Homeless!Halpert is the prettiest Halpert, of all the Halperts.

I like this happier version of Branch Closing. :) At least now Pam doesn't have to worry about her job.
*EH looking foward to chapters with major Roman numerals such as: Pam LXXVIII*
Author's Response:
Oh my god if I have to go up that high it could take at least another... month ;)
(I'll be honest I'm loving my version a little more myself)

I’m going home.
Yess!!!!
Author's Response: That kinda made me smile too (and I wrote it, I knew it was coming).

See, your version of the events of season 3 are SO much happier! :) I love it. And, let's not forget to give you major props for being so prolific in updating in such a speedy manner! Who has two thumbs and is impressed? This guy! :)
Author's Response: Well I seemed to be struck with the creative bug last night after reading this hilarious fic. Some crazy guy is writing it but it's so funny something about money, Toby wasn't included, Michael's an idiot. Eh, can't remember.
Date: August 07, 2007 09:26 am Title: What Hurts The Most
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Someone once said that real art takes courage and honesty, and I can see both here in this chapter from you. I know this is going to sound unbelievable, but I really am at a loss for words here. So, if you don't mind, I'll just go back and re-read this very quietly and let it wash over me. :)
Author's Response: Thank you... truly... thank you.

“Oh, uh…well it was…my girlfriend Pam. She’s the receptionist over there.”
“Oh.”
Oooh. That felt good.
Thanks for keeping Karen in the background. Jim and Pam will have enough to worry about with the upcoming merger without Filippelli getting in the mix.
Don't put yourself down, DMS. At least you've had the guts to put your stories out there for others to enjoy. You are a writer, just like Pam is an artist. Do I need to send Jim over there to convince you???
Author's Response:
Yes!! Yes EH you do! Please hurry...
Thanks for enjoying this! I love writing it so I'm really glad people are enjoying reading it.

Thanks to all of you for your reviews they're always so encouraging to this fanfic writer (who shouldn't even call herself a writer).
Hey, now, this is a place of encouragement, so your negativity should just get the hell out of here! haha, your story is great...can't wait to read more when you've got it ready :)
Author's Response:
I know I'm so rough on myself! I should suck it up! (twss)
I'm so happy you like it :)

Only had eyes for Pam. Damn straight! The way it should be. How wonderful that you can make the frozen sledgehammer that was S3 go away with this fic. (There's no place like home, there's no place like home...)
Author's Response: I'm trying my best to just make Karen a peripheral character, where she belongs! Maybe even making her the new Marjorie :).

"I mean she's cute, but eh."
And just like that, the whole Karen thing could have been diffused and become nothing more than a distant memory. How nice would that have been? :)
Again, you have a real knack for this back-and-forth, dialogue only kind of stuff. The mixture of spoken and unspoken words is just right, and it manages to tell the story quite well. Excellent work, m'dear!
Author's Response: Thank you Sir! I always thought Jim didn't really see Karen like that but in the eyes of fear, jumped behind her to avoid shrapnel.

What do you mean you shouldn't call yourself a writer? You're one of the most prolific and well-loved of all of us.
And now that I have been introduced to the boards, I too cannot get anything accomplished, so I know how you feel.
Author's Response: Aww, thanks Wert! I suppose I would call myself a blabberer more than a writer but...you're probably right :-)

OK, I was wondering if you were going to work "Me and My Gang" into this somehow. You win.
Author's Response: Yeaah! Do I get a gold yogurt lid? ;)

"Dense as a turnip farmer" is going to be my new catchphrase, so thanks for that. :P
I love the surreal nature of this chapter and Pam's dreams. Quite a cool concept to explore what goes on in our little Dunder-Mifflinites brains after the Sandman has whacked them over the head for the night. Hmmm... makes me wonder what Jim might be dreaming about... :)
So, no. I don't think you jumped the shark at all here. As odd a chapter as this was, it still helped to move your plot along nicely, as Pam was able to figure out a few things.
Now, if you write a chapter about Jim and Pam going to Sea World and physically jumping over a shark... :D
Author's Response:
Oh Mose! You know Jim will be donning a new leather jacket in season 4...."Eehhh".
Thank you again for being so supportive, it's so incredible. :)
