You are ROCKING this.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! That means a lot coming from you.

Oh thank God Jim was too drunk to make good on his earlier drunken ramblings. Pat owes her a lot of Bloody Marys. A LOT.
Author's Response: The whole time I was writing this chapter, I had your voice in my head, Lisa...warning me not to let things get too far with Jim and Libby. And it was actually my original intention to have them do something other paint or play shuffleboard. I just couldn't do it, though. Thanks, as always for your review.

Wow! This chapter was great! How much did Jim hear? What does Libby tell him? Please update soon!
Author's Response: All shall be revealed. I hope to get another update up soon. Thanks so much for your review.

Nice turn, GITC! So worth the wait. It's hard to hate Libby.
Author's Response:
You know it really is. I'm really feeling for her, but I think she's served her purpose.
Thanks for the review.

I just read this entire story in one go based off of a recommendation over at the boards. And, I'm kind of pissed there isn't more. Come on. There needs to be more. I'm trying to magically will another chapter, but it's not exactly working. So, yeah. Hurry up and update. Please?
Author's Response: I shall do my best! This story is kind of a beast to write. I don't know why. Mabye it's all of the angst. Thanks so much for your review.

Yes Pam!!!!

Lovely chapter as always! Definitely perked up my evening! Can't wait to see how this conversation goes!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review. I hope you were happy with the direction of the phone call.

Ah, and finally Pam becomes a mover and shaker, and not just someone reacting passively to life's events. Wonderful callback to the very first chapter. Now hurry up and call Jim before he does something he'll regret. :)
Author's Response: Oh EH...I'm so glad you saw the callback to chapter 1. Sometimes when I'm writing a WIP I need to go back and remember some of the earlier chapters and I didn't want to let go of the idea that both Jim and Pam were so passive in Season 2....painfully slow. Thanks so much for your review.

Please, oh, please let Pat's phone call interrupt Jim from whatever he was about to do (you know, shuffleboard, painting his bathroom, whatever it was he was up to...)
Author's Response: You mean you didn't want Jim and Libby to make sweet sweet love? I like the idea of shuffle board, though. I bet Jim would be good at that...long legs...long arms...large hands. Oooh...someone needs to write a shuffleboard story! Thanks for your review.

I think it's time to write-off Miss Libby, GITC. Not that she's not nice, but I don't want her getting in the way of the kickass crescendo you're building up to her!!! Keep it up!! Can't wait for more! -CH
Author's Response: Trust me...Libby will not get in the way of anything. In fact, she may just help things along. As always, I'm so glad to see your review and know that you are enjoying this.

oh man- you can't leave us hanging here! Next chapter, please! So good!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review.

Oh wow. I've been waiting for the next chapter. This is just great. Very much looking forward to the phone call and its aftermath!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you are liking this. I hope you like what happened (will happen) with the phone call. I appreciate your review.

Nice to have an update, and a good one at that!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!

"She merely nodded, but her gaze met his a little longer than it had in recent days and in it, he saw something painfully familiar. He knew from personal experience how regret and pain and longing colored and shaded an expression and her eyes were shadowed with those hues. He tried to tell himself that it was just the reflection of his own gaze, but he felt the ground shift underneath him and felt himself slipping down familiar slopes again."
That was beautifully written. It must be even harder for Pam since she knows Libby so well.

I was actually starting to feel sorry for Roy until I got to the bottom and saw how Roy was just twisting the knife in Jim's heart. It's interesting, though. that Roy can see through all of the denials from Pam and Jim to see what they won't even admit.

Marissa is a girl after my own heart!! I love the addition of the screencaps in this chapter. (When I put my cursor over the Jim picture it said jimth and I thought, jimth - what does that mean? and then I realized it was Jim talking head. I thought it was like Gwyenth.)

"She couldn’t put her finger on it either, but something in the primal part of her brain knew she didn’t want to put Jim and Libby together."
Uh oh. I know you said you won't let us down in the end, but I feel myself heading for that ledge I spent so much time on during S3.

AHHH! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
Author's Response: Shocking, I know!!!!!
Date: February 03, 2008 05:01 pm Title: Marissa Needs Some Help
Ahh, I'm freaking out as much as Marissa! At least Pam came to her senses earlier because of all this and now Roy is out of the way - and I can't imagine Libby will be as big an obstacle as Roy or Karen were, but that's just really, really bad timing, Jim!
Author's Response: They can't get the timing right in any universe, can they? Hopefully you won't be freaking out much longer. Thanks so much for your review.
Date: February 03, 2008 09:49 am Title: Marissa Needs Some Help
THE HELL!?!? is exactly right. I was coming to terms with Jim asking Libby back to his place (he could always call out the wrong name, right?!?) but the switcharoo on the 'do you think that'll be us someday' just floored me.
Pam -- run to Jim, peel Libby's vacuum cleaner lips off his face and tell him you dumped Roy! Do it now!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks Lisa. I worked really hard on getting that switcheroo in there. I knew I wanted to do it, but I didn't want Roy on the boat so I had to find someway to get him and Pam to be watching Jim and Libby. Hope it worked out. And I think at this point, it's our boy Jimmy with teh vacuum cleaner lips :) Thanks, as alwasy for your review.

This is just amazing.
I am laughing because I started a thread over at the nbc boards called JAM Therapy because of the heartbreaking break room scene in The Negotiation and the divided JAM of S3. I have seen many a post like the one you wrote here on my thread! You are spot on.
I also loved the twist of Pam dumping Roy in the tag. Brilliant.
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm so glad that this rings true. I was worried about making it too much of a characterization. Glad you are liking it and I'm so appreciative of your reviews.

Such a good twist on the Booze Cruise, GITC. Sitting on the edge of my seat...
