i can SO imagine jim sneakily adding things to the grocery list. and pam is in the grocery store getting napkins and checks them off and goes to the next item and is like, "astroglide? JIM!" and him just saying, "whoops." and making a classic jim face.
oh and jim half-naked on a ladder dancing and singing along? please tell me where i can buy my own.
Author's Response: Dude, half-naked Jims have been on backorder for a long, long time! I have a bet with LoveFool that we're going to see a shirtless Jim by the end of season 4 (and I don't even care about winning, because if it happens, WE ALL WIN), but until then, this is the image I have in my mind! See, now we know that Jim can't even hook up TiVo, so he probably couldn't do the ceiling fan, but who cares? TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF.

OMG, this chapter has solidified this story as the best JAM songfic ever. I'm just beaming as I read each one :) Fantastic dialogue...great songs...realistic settings. Guh. So good.
Author's Response: secondrink! So much fun to read this after it's been sleeping for awhile! And what a great compliment! When I started writing this, I was so new to the whole fandom and fanfic thing that I didn't even know there was a genre of stories called "songfic" so I'm especially thrilled with your comment. Thank you so much!

Lovely. Feels even lovelier after the angst of the last couple of chapters.
Author's Response: This one was maybe the most fun to write for me and we definitely needed a lift after the angst. Thank you so much!

There's so much I love in this chapter--I adore the grocery list, the banter, and that last line, "Hey, where's my puppy?" So great!
Eager to click "next" and read the next chapter! -CH
Author's Response: Yay! The list was really fun to do. I know we're all thrilled to see FNB blooming in S4, but I'm just as excited to see how so-in-love!Jim develops. Thank you so much for the review.

I've just gotta say the image of Jim putting up that ceiling fan without a shirt and his cap on back-to-front and sindging like a total dork made me sigh. *swoons* This was awesome! The list is soo cute. So is Jam... especially Jim. :D
Author's Response: Hee! I swooned a bit while I was typing it, Snoznoodle! Thanks for the review!

Your writing is so much fun. This chapter in particular captures the playfulness which is so adorably JAM.
Author's Response: I really had fun with this one. Thank you!

I so loved this chapter. The list had me shaking with laughter. Both songs are awesome : )
Author's Response: I really loved writing giddy!Jim so I think he'll be coming back. DMB is very inspiring for me and these two, so there will be more. Thanks for reviewing!

I agree, Crush is the ultimate JAMthem! Each chapter gets sweeter and sweeter, keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Another DMB fan heard from! Thank you!

A story that combines two of my favorite things...JAM and DMB. You are a goddess, you know this, right? And you are soooo right, Crush IS the Jam Anthem, alright.
A thousand schrute bucks to you...
Author's Response: Aww! I was hoping you would read this because I knew you were a DMB fan. Thanks for reviewing.

Sweetpea,
This one made me squee out loud. Those two are so cute together. I snorted at Jim's additional items on the list as well. And thanks for the visual of scruffy, shirtless, singing Halpert. Mmmm.
Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed it, EH. I'm having too much fun with this - so cool to have your very own Halpert Doll you can make do whatever you want. Ahem.

Twister, vegetable oil -- WHAT? Ha! So freaking adorable.
Author's Response:
Isn't he, though? I can't wait to see what he's going to do next!

Stubbly, shirtless, baseball hat festooned, joyous Jim belting out a song? Best image I've had in my mind in ages. His list was SO funny and so him. Fabulous dialogue, utterly delicious. These slices of life are positively addictive.
Author's Response: Colette, the shirtless and stubbly bit was intended for you!! Just returning the Jim-in-a-towel favor! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reviewing.

I just got into this series of vignettes and they are just so lovely. It takes songfic to an entirely different level.
Oh and one edit you may need to make, from one DMB fan to another: The song in question is not "Crush", it's "Crash into Me" :) Crush is an entirely different but still wonderful DMB song.
Author's Response:
albie, I'm so new at this, I didn't even know there was such a thing as songfic! I cheated on this one and used BOTH 'Crash Into Me' (the opening verse which I see as Pam's thoughts about Jim) and the song they both sing is 'Crush' - my favorite. I took a little license and shortened the first song to 'Crash' for a less awkward title.
Anyway, stay tuned and thanks for reviewing. The chapter inspired by 'Rapunzel' should be, um, interesting!

Oh, I just loved that so much!!
Author's Response: Thanks! This one was a ton of fun to write.

Brilliance. This is the kind of thing a writer reads and wishes like heck she would have thought of it first! GREAT STUFF!
Author's Response:
Wow! LoveFool, you're too kind and this will probably keep my head bowed over the laptop cranking out the next one when I should be balancing my checkbook. Thank you so much.
