I've been reading every Jam first date fic I can find lately and I really can't wait to read more of this. You really capture their personalities perfectly. I hope you update soon :)

Hi Lockiecharms, this is really great. Are you going to add more? I've enjoyed it so far.

Aw, I love Jim grabbing Pam's hand and explaining that it's okay because "It's a daaate." Hee! So cute.

I really like how Jim explained the interview process and speculated that no one from Scranton will get the job. And the urgency of finding Jan's replacement so quickly that there's not enough time to go for an outside hire even takes care of the speculation on why they didn't go that route in the first place, given the less-than-fabulous applicant pool available from within the ranks.
So, excellent job. I'm going on to chapter 2 now, and I hope you keep updating. :)

This is excellent! Please don't make us wait too long before posting again, I can't wait for some Jam date banter!
I love it all, so it was difficult to pick a favourite, but for some reason I really love this line:
"He couldn’t tell if it was working."
Anyway, please post again soon, I'm loving this to pieces! Excellent job.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I should have more by the weekend. I've got a busy Thursday and Friday but I will definitely put up SOMETHING.
I really loved that line too. It was an unintentional double meaning.

Just the right amount of "awkwardness" balanced by the easy rapport they have always ( well almost always) had with one another. And a very simple but meaningful date with your choice of "Cujino's"...I like it!

Nice. Glad to know there's a bit more coming! (TWSS)

I am reall enjoying this! Just the right mix of awkwardness, but still THEM and able to laugh together. This is good stuff. Bring on more!

Love love love how the nerves are showing through. And great job dealing with the Karen situation. I hope you keep writing!

Cute! Kepp going!

Ah! I love the awkward hug at the end. That's the most embarassing thing. Good chapter :)

I love the way you write them, there is like this mix of comfort and familiarity versus the inherent tension of exploring something new.
I look forward to reading more.

Love it- I think you've done an excellent job capturing their voices here. We're also on the same page about how he and Karen ended things. Keep writing!!

You're going to write their first date too, right? Please?
You really got the characters down, their thoughts and their dialogue. I loved the little part about him only taking an hour and a half to drive back also. I can't believe this was your first fic!

Very nice!!

This is so in character...and I love the contrast of Pam's "that's kind of sad" with Karen's smirk at Jan's breakdown.
Can't wait for the next chapter!

I am amazed that this is your first story. It was really good!! (and gives me hope that I can do it too). I love how easily they can talk and when Jim mentioned that he wasn't going to New York...sigh...lovely story.

Very sweet!
Date: May 19, 2007 03:35 pm Title: Life, it's ever so strange
Ooh, please keep going with this! I love the subtle remark Pam makes about feeling bad for Jan - in sharp contrast to Karen's totally unsympathetic attitude. I can't wait to read more!
Date: May 19, 2007 03:07 pm Title: Life, it's ever so strange
I love how they'res slowly getting back into their groove. I can't wait for the date!
Date: May 19, 2007 02:35 pm Title: Life, it's ever so strange
Can't wait to see what happens on their first real date.
Date: May 19, 2007 02:23 pm Title: Life, it's ever so strange
I literally can't wait to see where this goes next. Excellent job!

Your first fic, wow. Very nicely done! I think you did a great job with their voices, and the conversation about Karen is just what I imagine happened. Hope we see more from you!
Date: May 19, 2007 02:06 pm Title: Life, it's ever so strange
I think you did a great job with this! It feels very natural, and I like that they're having a normal conversation even if they might be feeling a bit awkward. I like that they didn't go all schmoopy on each other or anything. :)

I really like this! Excellent! I love the elevator ride and that they are already falling into their old repore... but there is still an excitement and a little awkwardness to go with it. Great job, especially for a first try!
