So that is just brilliant! I could never write a story with just emoticons. Brava.

Thanks to the boards, I actually know all these now. I feel so lame.
Author's Response: You're on a fanfic site, and knowing smilies is what makes you feel lame? Silly

So effing brilliant! How did you do that with just the smileys? I was picturing Jim's face doing each one. This might be my favorite one so far.
Author's Response: hehe, thank you, I knew for a while that that's how I wanted to to write that chapter.

Cute! Aw, the fluff's going away? :-(
Author's Response: Not really going away, just hibernating . . .

I greatly enjoyed this one. So much fun.

That totally worked - great job!

Ha! Pam--not one with the idle threats, huh? Too cute. I just love her. And him. And, well, them. Obviously. :)
Author's Response: Hehe, me too

Pam's all-time favorite movie is either Office Space or Pirates of Penzance. Yep, it's definitely between those two. Or Sense and Sensibility, but she'd never admit that to Jim, so I'm saying she'd go with Office Space. Or Muppets Take Manhattan. But it's totally one of those three or four movies.
Or it could be Joe Versus the Volcano. Hard to say.
Author's Response: Hmm, interesting, maybe it is Office Space. . .

The shadowbox comment was superb. I could actually hear Jim saying it. IMing is the best medium ever, huh?
Author's Response: There's definitely some advantages. Thanks, I'm pretty proud of the shadowbox comment.

This might be the best JAM banter you've done so far! Good chapter.

Awesome convo. How has Japan been so far?
P.S. Michael needs a waxing.
Author's Response: Japan's been great, if really hot and humid. And yes, Michael does need a waxing.

I can't stop laughing at this one! Thanks so much!
Author's Response: hehe, thanks, I had a lot of fun writing it.
Date: September 04, 2007 06:39 pm Title: Michael's Birthday
hee, you get points for mentioning what Jim's sheets smell like.... and don't think for a minute Pam wasn't thinking about that too....
Author's Response: I think you were my 200th review . . . if so, dundie for you! I'd love to smell Jim's sheets . . .
Date: September 04, 2007 06:30 pm Title: Michael's Birthday
Thanks for the cuddly fluff! I also pictured Jim at a spa, so thank you for that, too!
Author's Response: I do what I can ;)

I can't help but thinking that this being Jim would have suggested getting a big cardboard cutout of himself to have at Pam's wedding in an attempt to deflect the conversation.
Author's Response: Hmm, maybe, I don't know if he was in a joking mood right then . . .

Aw, that episode always makes me so sad for Michael! But it was a fun way for Jim to switch topics from that awkward date-talk (and I also agree that it was Brenda). And, come on, Pam - you see that he's great with kids - isn't that a good quality to look for in a partner?
Author's Response: Yeah, really, the good with kids things is just the icing on the delicious Jim-cake :-P
Date: September 03, 2007 07:54 pm Title: Take Your Daughter to Work Day
I'd also guess Brenda-something...
Good chapter! I think we saw a little bit of Michael's mother in The Negotiation. Well, he was wearing a woman's suit, you know... ;)
Author's Response: Hehe, silly. Do we even know her name, if not, I've always thought it would be "Virginia" for some reason.
Date: September 03, 2007 07:46 pm Title: Dwight's Speech
This was perfect. I can totally see Pam calling him on that through IM. He wouldn't give her an inch, though. Perfect.
Author's Response: Thank you, I was worried about this chapter, but I'm glad it believable.
Date: September 03, 2007 07:43 pm Title: Take Your Daughter to Work Day
I think it was Brenda. Oh and I loved this line from Jim:
I don't know, she lives kind of far away, I guess we'll see.
Yah, we'll see Jim!
Author's Response: Jim's halfhearted attempts at a love life beyond Pam were always a little sad . . .
Date: September 03, 2007 03:34 pm Title: Dwight's Speech
Ooh, an angsty one. And I don't actually find this conversation particularly unlikely. That would be a *very* big coincidence if it was just a coincidence, and it would be a crappy thing for him to do if he actually were just a friend and his mind slipped on what should supposedly be the biggest day of his friend's life. I think something like that would cause Pam to be hurt enough to find out why he would do that, but her backing down after his feeble excuse is very in character for Pam as well.
Author's Response: Thank you, you're comments always make me feel good for some reason, you explain things much better than I do.

these are making the summer bearable.. thanks :)

Date: September 03, 2007 07:59 am Title: Dwight's Speech
Hmmmm, I think it's interesting that there is still some bitterness at the end of this chapter. Or at least I sense bitterness (and avoidance). I'm glad Pam worked up a little of that courage. She was always just a little stronger with Jim than she was with everyone else . She would stand up to him (I'm fine with my choices), even though it was for the wrong reasons. So, I do actually find this a little believable.
Author's Response: Yep, always plenty of avoidance with Pam . . .

Awwwe, evil. I want to know what was on the card this year. I bet it has something to do with Dwight being a bobblehead (if he made the card the night before)
Author's Response: Hmm, maybe, maybe not ;-)
