I just read this. Obviously slightly behind everyone else. But I LOVED it!! I live within a half and hour of Philly, so all the sports references made me feel like I could really, really relate. I love some good AU! Nice job :)

i love this! i live in Philly and i'm guessing you're from here too, what with the mentioning of Rittenhouse and Spruce Street and Kensington! awesome story, too (:
Author's Response: Thank you! I don't actually live in Philly, but I've done a ton of Wikipedia searches, and have a few friends/readers from Philly who are very graciously helping me with this story. I'm so glad you like it, and I'm always open for input if you have a good idea of where they could go on a date or something! Thanks again!!

I'm so glad I found this fic!!!!
I think my favorite thing about is the concept of 'lucky jim.' Because when you think about it, Jim is such a nice, laid back, funny guy, that it seems like everytime he talks to someone it puts them in a good mood, which makes it seemingly believable that he could contribute to their productivity.
The other thing that makes this click for me is the dialougue. I find a lot of good fics on this sight that are ruined by dialogue that I have a hard time believing, or I find out of character. I love how you reference past episodes, like in the poker game, to make it feel very beleivable!!!!
AWESOME WORK!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!!! I never thought about that "lucky Jim" parallel, but it's totally true!! You are wonderful for pointing that out! And I also really strive to keep the dialogue in character, and use the references to the show to my advantage, so I'm really glad it's paying off. So glad you're enjoying it, and thanks again for the review!!

Just began this story and I'm looking forward to reading the rest. It's an interesting premise and I like to see Jim and Pam in different settings some times.
I also wanted to throw one out one small correction. It's Center City, Philly, not Central City :)
Author's Response: Thank you! You're right, I don't know why I typed Central because I have Center in my notes. Oh well. Thanks so much!

I know I've already read this, but come on, its on MTT, which makes it TOTALLY different than reading it in a Word Document. True story! However, I am going to try to keep it short. Is that a bad twss or what? That wouldn't be what you would want anyone to say!
Ya know, while I was on vacation this week, I almost checked my baggage - with my license in it. I remembered right before i got up there. That would have been a secuirty nightmare!
Ya know, there are still so many lines in here that I love. I know I commented on them in the first place, so I won't recomment here, but man, you basically rock!
Yay for the first chapter!
Author's Response: It is totally different; I love seeing the finished product on the page. You did a ton to help all those great lines, so go ahead and take a bow!!

I am really enjoying this story, I hope you update soon.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like it. Look for an update very soon!

Another great chapter.
I love how you have taken Jim and Pam's "Season 2 Courtship" and have woven it throughout your story.
Also, Kelly was perfect in this. I think I would totally ask JKras for a high five, or say something stupid like, "I carried a watermelon".
Looking forward to Jim and Pam getting closer!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think their interaction matches well the show; that was my goal. And LOL, "I carried a watermelon." That's awesome! Thanks again for the review!

This is a great story. Love the connections you have made with all the characters.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like their roles in this story.

I loved this chapter. I'm so glad Pam is doing something for herself and actually thinking about Jim in that way instead of denying her feelings. Please update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah this is definitely Fancy New Beesly I'm writing here, and I'm glad you like her. Watch for another update soon!

Oh Phyllis...I definitely laughed out loud at the part. And I love the way you've been incorporating the other characters! Your Ryan - hilarious. The "Don't interrupt" line cracked me up. I think it's pretty cool the way you're addressing Pam and Roy's inequalities in modern sense, with Pam being financially more successful. I am sucker for Brave!Pam :D. Keep going! I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad Phyllis and Ryan made you laugh. And I'm a sucker for Brave!Pam too! I think it's a little too cliche for her to just dump Roy for Jim; there's gotta be something else wrong in their relationship, and I'm glad the feminist-ish angle is working for ya. Thanks again for the review!!

I'm really into this story, yay for Philly Jim and an already stronger Pam!
More more?
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like FNB in this story; she's a lot more fun to write. More is coming soon!

This is a a great AU idea. I really can't wait for more. Being a sports fan is always helpful!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like it so far!

Yay! I love that we see Angela and homeless Creed. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I love homeless Creed as well. Glad you liked it!

my fam lives in center city, my sister takes classes at pafa, and my mom is from kensington.
obsession with this story? i think yes :)
and if you can somehow get philly jim to move here for real, you might save my dad from a heart attack before the next eagles season...
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! Is your sister's name Pam? Because if it is that would be waayy too freaky for words, lol. I'm glad you don't have any major complaints about how I'm portraying the city (yet), because honestly I'm just flying by the seat of my pants here. And I'll send out Philly Jim's bat signal for ya, but there are no guarantees he'll respond to it. ;) Thanks again!!

I want more Philly Jam. I didn't realize this was a WIP and after I finished the first chapter I was all...where's the next. Noo! Really looking forward to the next installment. I can hardly wait to see where you take Jim/Pam. You have an excellent start and it hooked me right away. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah I guess I should've specified it was a WIP. Luckily, more will be on the way soon!!! Glad you liked the first chapter!

such cute interactions between our little lovebirds ^-^ love that you had Dwight as the super makes perfect sense
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, Dwight as the super makes me giggle. :) Thanks again!

What a fantastic idea for an AU story! I look forward to more...and it seems like a whole bunch of other people do too...I hope you're committed to this! :-D
Author's Response: Thank you! More is definitely on the way, and I'm definitely committed as long as you readers are! :) Thanks again!

I love a good AU story and this one is starting off great. Even though the characters are out of the office, you have thus far stayed true to the DM personalities. Especially Dwight. I am looking forward to the other DM employees making appearances.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, all the characters definitely will make appearances sooner or later. I'm glad you think the ones I introduced as of now fit well. Thanks again!

I'm really excited to see where you take this. I have to tell you that I live in NJ, but my entire extended family lives in Philly, and I'm only a 15 minute car ride away. My mom grew up in Kensington (it was actually a decent neighborhood at one time). Anyway, it's fun to see a story set in Philly because it holds a special place in my heart. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I hope I'm representing Philly all right! From my very reliable source (Wikipedia), it says Kensington is a working-class kind of neighborhood, which is where I really saw Pam coming from and Roy still living in. I hope thats actually the truth... Thanks again!

Ooh, a fun new AU. I like it!

oooooh I love AU's like this! Very good beginning - I really love how you've just picked them up and placed them in a new situation like they were meant for it the entire time. Update soon :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think the roles fit them well, and I'll hopefully have another chapter up soon. Thanks again!

Hi there, Dundie All-Star! I'm especially intrigued by this story since I work in Center City Philly, two blocks from Rittenhouse Square and a block from Spruce Street : ) Looking forward to seeing where you take this.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! I hope I'm representing Philly all right! I actually don't live there, but thank goodness for Wikipedia! I might have to call on your services when referencing things like restaurants or theaters. Thanks again!

This is a really cool idea! AU's rock in general, and I love the idea of putting both of them in a position where they've achieved a lot already. I can't wait to see where you take this!
Author's Response: Thank you! I know, I love AU's as well, so I'm just as geeked about this story as you are! Lol. Thanks again!

As a Philly Sports fan, I know all to well about the Curse of William Penn...
I love the story. Keep it up.
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you're well versed about Billy, lol. I actually had to do research for this fic, so when I found him I knew I had to work him in somewhere. Thank you again!
