I really, really like this fic already. Yay to getting rid of Roy right off the bat!
As for jobs for Jim, Michael and Ryan...maybe they could work on Wall Street or something? I don't know what kind of jobs require fancy-gala-attending, but stocks jobs pay a lot...I don't know. Seeing as I've never written a fic before I don't know why you'd take my advice, but....yea.

I'm interested to see where you are going to go with this fic, I'm looking to see where you add Jim into this. As for possible jobs...a brooker on wall street? I got an image of Michael making an a$$ out of himself by playing with the bell. But I'm looking forward to see what you decide.

making me miserably unemployed right now
Hi, are you me? I'm dealing with the same thing only I also have writer's block, so...yeah. I'm reading a lot of Jammy goodness to make it better. :) I'm really enjoying what you have so far. While I love all the post-finale stuff I've been reading, this is a very nice and welcome change of pace.
I agree that a good AU job would be advertising. It seems like a good profession for Jim and Michael to use their creativity (Michael almost needs a job like that) and Ryan could be an exec with either the company they work for, or one of their major clients. It would play to his business abilities and not necessarily require him to be creative, which I don't see as one of his strengths. All he would have to do is approve Michael and Jim's ideas.

Well, I don't *think* that you're me...haha, kidding. :) But I was seriously so happy when I came up with the idea for this story. I kept thinking, "YES! Something to write!". I have such a hard time writing post-finale stuff because I guess I like to have an idea of what's going to happen next before making up my own ideas. (That sounds really weird, but I swear that's pretty much dead on what I think)
Thank you for your detailed suggestions! I will certainly take it into consideration. :)

This is just wonderful. And no apologies for chapter lengths! You don't want to add a bunch of filler just to make it longer, and this is perfect to finish off this little scene. So... Apology not... accepted. Because it wasn't even necessary in the first place. (/Andy)
Swanky galas... Actually, they don't have to have high paying jobs to take them to fundraising galas. They can work for the agencies trying to raise money via the galas. So they put on the galas, put on their fancy suits for the occasion, and mingle and raise money.
Alternatively, they could work for a NY firm which gives out money to various worthy charities for tax breaks and such, and they can be in the department that determines who's worthy. Maybe they also fund the arts, and struggling new artists. Maybe they set them up in cool little lofts.

You leave great responses. I just thought I should tell you that.
And well, swanky galas, trips places...basically, they have a lot of money to throw around. I don't want to get into too much detail without completely giving away my secret plans for the three of them. I like your suggestions a lot though (well, I like both of the suggestions I've received so far) -- I'll certainly take them into consideration.
Thank you! :)
