I've loved all the chapters but this one really made me laugh. I can so totally see Jim trying to get Pam to say a different name!
Author's Response: Yeah, he's a teaser like that, but it also totally flirtacious. Thanks for commenting!

So cute. I like how Jim tries to make Pam say the wrong name. They are the cutest! Happy 3 months to JAM!
Author's Response: I have a vision of Pam seeing those messages and trying not to laugh as she answers the phone, and Jim, who loves to hear Pam laugh anyway, has a big smile on his face. I only want happy JAM in S4!

Love love love! Seriously, these are so awesome and just keep getting better. I love the little details that you're including that make their friendship seem all the more realistic. I'd pay to see Toby pull a prank! Please don't stop updating when you leave for Japan! That's an order.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. And I'd love to see Toby pull a prank as well. My theory is he use to bust balls a lot, but his divorce made him quite sad, so now he busts balls in a very melancholy way. Provided I get internet access quickly, the story will still be updated from Japanland.

I love that Pam carried this conversation because she needed to apologize for being short with Jim and dismissing him. I think that was a really nice touch.
And this is extra fun, cause now I am trying to watch episodes in time with your story! Yay. Tons of fun.
Author's Response: Yeah, Pam and Jim didn't have a very good run from about The Fire through The Client. It felt good to add a little resolution to those episodes.
And I love that you're watching the show along with reading the chapters! That makes me happy :)

You are teh awesome! I'm loving the JAM backstory!

This is just all so dreamy. You really are enriching each episode with these IM stories.
Thanks, ladama!
Author's Response: Oh, I'm enriching them, good :)

These are really great! Keep 'em coming!

"never too late"
PRICELESS!!!
Author's Response: Hehe, I like that line too.

I love every one of these. It really brings me back to each episode and I really feel like they fit right in with what was going on at the time. Keep em coming :)
Author's Response: Thanks, that's what I'm trying to do, I'd like to think of these as almost a supplement to the show. I'll keep 'em coming as long as you guys keep reading and reviewing ;)

That's nice. But Pam, wake up and smell the coffee, dearie!
Author's Response: Yeah, the sad thing about these chapters is we're in the throws of Pam's deep denial, and then when we get to season 3, it'll be all about Jim's denial. They'll get on the same page eventually though.

Niiice. I like to think they had this sort of resolution after all the awkwardness of The Fight.
Author's Response: Thanks, some of these conversations make be feel a little better about some episodes too.

I really like this one, even more than a lot of the others. It just seems like it has a nice little plot, plus it's fun to read between the lines about why this place isn't so bad. Too bad they can't admit it.

Ha! Ask at any fire station. Getting out of work is a perfectly legitimate reason for a false alarm. Well, maybe not...

I like the 'shadow box' best of all here. And triple O. ;)
Author's Response:
I was wondering if a guy like Jim would know what a shadow box is, but I figured if he used fabric softener . . .
I like the "triple O" part also, I can see Pam typing it then realizing a split second after she hits "enter" that it didn't sound good . . or rather sounded too good, hehe
Date: August 16, 2007 10:36 am Title: The Client
yay Pam! That would make 'it's a date', the third date then. (So she could totally jump Jim and not be a slut. Not that anyone here would blame her).
"oh, well, I didn't really do you any favors then, did I?" So cute. They trapped each other in the loony bin, didn't they?
Author's Response: Whoohoo, 100 reviews! Yes, the post Job date is totally their 3rd "First Date". So do what needs to be done, Pam! I'm glad you like that line, I actually just added it right before I posted, I figured that was a good place for some light hearted sarcasm.

Sorry I haven't reviewed til now, but I've been loving these stories! The banter is amazing! I can't wait for more!
Date: August 15, 2007 11:27 pm Title: The Fight
I'm really enjoying these - thanks for writing them. You have Jim and Pam conversations down pat! woo hoo! =-)
Date: August 15, 2007 11:06 pm Title: The Fight
you're making this relationship even better than it already was...
jimhalpert: sorry today was weird pambeesly: no pambeesly: I overreacted
Author's Response: Well, she did. Like Beeswax said, if Jim Halpert grabs you from behind, you go with it ;) Thanks for commenting!

Flonkerton reference? Sneaky and dawesome! I love this story so far and the fact you're using IM conversations to tell the story.
Author's Response: What are you talking about, there's no hidden meaning behind my mention of Flonkerton *shifty eyes* Thanks for reading!
Date: August 15, 2007 08:48 pm Title: The Fight
This whole idea is so cute.... I hope you do all episodes. Season three will be interesting. Great banter.
Author's Response: I'm planning on it. But enjoy these cute chapters now because like the show, S3 is probably gonna be angst city.
Date: August 15, 2007 07:34 pm Title: The Fight
i just read the whole series and it's amazing. You really capture the playful nature and emotional undertones of Pam. They excel at saying so much with few words and so do you! Keep the chapters coming!
Author's Response: You don't know what this means coming from the JAM psychological expert :) Thank you.

I love how your use of "don't forget me when you're famous." What a beautiful tie in to The Job.

Too cute and so JAM! Nicely done.
Date: August 15, 2007 07:02 pm Title: The Fight
Yay to the reference to Dwight's weapons! Heh. And I love that they were honest and understanding in working out their dispute, and that Jim turned it around into light-hearted joking :)
Author's Response: It always kind of bothered my how they ended things in that episode, but I would think Jim would do something like that, not dwell and try to make a joke.
Date: August 15, 2007 03:44 pm Title: The Fight
Dwight and his Desk of Doom! Nice! Glad to see Jim get to make his apology finally. And vice versa.
