Another thing I love about this story? I haven't been able to shake the urge that Pam is lonely. And friends to be able to talk it out with, even if they're online, would do her a lot of good.
Also, the nightmare Jim had of Karen and Pam yelling at him? Perfect. =P He needs to get a bunch more insults before he starts getting those compliments and stuff, so.
Can't wait for even more. :D
Author's Response: Moofoot - you are SO right about Pam being lonely. That's why I think we see (and will see) her being so much more FNB online; she shines in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Another reason it's good for Jim to see her there. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!!!

So loving this! I'm so glad that Jim found out that Pam loves him... And somehow I can't even muster up sympathy for Karen. Glad Jim didn't go back to get her. Can't wait to see what happens next and how Jim responds during the next chat. Thank you!
Author's Response: Yes, Karen doesn't seem very sympathetic, but I do think she's more desperate to keep Jim than evil. Hope you enjoy the rest!

Now I'm truly addicted to this fic...and judging by the number of reviews, I'm far from alone! Great pacing, and it's so fun to read the chat parts!
Author's Response: Yeah, another happy addict!! Hope you can hold out for Chapter 3! I'm working on it now.....

Believe it or not I actually fell in love with my husband after one dinner and three months of online chatting. So I totally know the appeal of online flirting! Gah! More please, I know you won't make this too easy for them but I LOVE the chat scenes!
Author's Response: I can believe it, because I met my husband online and we spent months apart with IRC our main mode of communication. I guess that's why I felt the need to use it as a tool for our love birds. Hope you like the upcoming chapters!!

I ADORE this. I really do. And I wish oh how I WISH Pam would be as forthcoming in person! I could totally imagine, Jim not knowing how the heck to act with her in person now. I'm counting down the minutes till he breaks up with Karen! Yes, Jim simply your life!...Can't wait for more Moxie!
Author's Response: Hehe - I have lured you into my Jam trap! ;-) Stay tuned for more WD!Pam!! :-)

Another adorable chapter. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks, honey!! Hope you enjoy the coming chapters too!!

I love how Pam is all fancy in the chat room. That's just great :) The more I think about it the more the chat room is just a great idea. I love how Jim gets to see the side of Pam that he never gets to see because she's too shy--great job with formulating a plot for that.
Also, if you manage to use the line "i have measured out my life with coffee spoon" I'll give you a dollar. Or at least a high-five ;)
I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: oooh - I love a challenge almost as much as Pam does! Keep an eye on the prose in the coming chapters - I'm working on chapter 3 now.

AAAAH! I love love love this! Definitely the cutest thing I have read in awhile. Jim is being pretty stupid and obvious (signing off like that, sheesh!) and Pam's probably not going to be too pleased at his spying. Methinks the only way he's going to be able to deal with her anger is with passionate sex. Lots of it. Pronto. (Although wait, I'd like to see this evolve a little more first.) Eee this fic just makes me smile :D
Author's Response: LOL - you are a reader after my own heart! But things, I fear - won't be going that smoothly. At least not yet.

Wow...this is the most enjoyable fic I have read in a really long time. Just had a smile on my face the whole time. Loved it.
Author's Response: That is so kind of you to say - I really, really appreciate it! I shall try to keep up the quality in Chapter 3!
Date: March 05, 2007 04:34 pm Title: Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
Yay! You updated! I like seeing them interact in work now that Jim's been on the chat and knows all the things she says about them. Update again, soon please!
Author's Response: There will certainly be some interesting interactions coming!!!! Thanks for taking the time to leave comments - I love it!!

What can I say? Oh yeah, I love it! Poor Jim. I can only imagine how much he must want his brain to explode about now ;)
Author's Response: Oh, poor sneaky!Jim has so much more to go through - but I am hoping that when it's all over, he will have learned something and maybe even have ended up with the RIGHT girl at least. If she'll have him after all his trickery, of course!! ;-)

this story owns me....i had to stop reading ch 2 to tell you i loved this:
"Jim finally drifted off to sleep, disturbed by dreams of Karen and Pam shouting at him for various offences, while Kevin sat giggling in the background."
ohhh kevin, you would!
Author's Response: Hee hee - Kevin giggling would SURELY be disturbing in anyone's dream!!! Thanks for letting me know you like it!!!!

Yes, yes, yes! I am so in love with this fic! It's such an original idea! Please write fast!
Author's Response: Thank you - aggiegurl22! It makes me happy to know you think it's an original idea!! Stay tuned for Chapter 3!

Seriously, I squealed so many times reading this you wouldn't believe. Maybe it hits close to home knowing the difference between being online and being yourself in real life, but I think you did a really good job capturing that "line" between them. And Jim -- with this new-found knowledge! OMG. I can't wait to see what happens. Write more soon!!
Author's Response: I am SO very happy to hear that you think the chat stuff is still sounding true to Pam. It makes me feel more confident in writing the next chapters! I hope to have more up soon - definitely in a day or so! Thanks for the encouragement, GreenFish!!! :-)

Aaa! I love, lov, love this story. Please update soon, I can't wait to read the next chat transcript! :)
Author's Response: Thanks, ceia!! I hope to have the next chapter up in the next day or so!!
Date: March 05, 2007 02:25 pm Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
This is getting better and better. I love how open Pam is in the chatroom...suggesting that she wouldn't mind having fun with Jim in her bedroom. He must have made the "Look at you!" face after that comment! Ha! And you have totally invented new nicknames for our fave couple which will hopefully become an established part of the fandom!
Looking foward to Ch.3.
Author's Response:
That would be entirely too awesome if these new names stuck around. :-) Pam is definitely open in the chat room - keep in mind she's probably been talking to these people for at least a month before Jim found out about it. I wouldn't be surprised if a little bit a prompting from others in the room don't encourage to say even more incriminating things! :-D
Thanks for reading and reviewing, EverybodyHurts!!

Yay! This is the perfect thing to help get through the hiatus! Am loving it!

Oooh. This is SO good. I'm really enjoying it. I think you really captured Jim's thoughts as things were revealed in the chatroom. And hey, why DOES SaintSimon keep hugging WalkingDisaster? Is SaintSimon male or female (wonders)? Loved Pam's intense investigation of whether the new guy could be Mr. Wonderful - beets and Jello questions!
I look forward to future chapters, whenever they come.
Author's Response: SaintSimon is male, just so you know. :) And I am so glad you like it - it's been really fun to write! I shall try to update as quickly as possible, but definitely in a day or two. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!

Oh jeeze, Moxie. You are amazing. I've tried to read fics that integrate chat text like dialogue and I've never liked it... before now. I'm still beyond excited to see what happens next. I love that Jim is going to use this info to his advantage. Sneaky, sneaky.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much, shan21! One of the things that helped me write the chat dialogue was to just type it as I heard it happening, then go back and accredit the lines later. But maybe that works for me because chaos reigns supreme in my head!!! Thanks for reading and reviewing - I so appreciate your thoughts!
