You've got me, for as long as it takes. There is such depth and beauty in your words that I feel as if I am experiencing this story myself, not just reading it. Thank you.

I have been waiting for an update on this FOREVER! I'm so happy you added another chapter! This is seriously just so intriguing and it keeps me wanting more every time. I'm not real big on AU or when people create characters, but you are always the exception to the rule. And you make me love it. KEEP GOING.

Hi, Stablergirl,
Definitely on board with this one. I don't think I will ever tire of early-in-the-relationship stories. Since we were robbed of seeing it happen during the series, it leaves so much interpretation to the creative forces, such as yourself, and I love all of the different authors' takes on how J/P got their start. In the case of this story, I really love the hesitation on both of their parts to not advance the romance physically at first. Don't get me wrong, I like a good smut-fest where they fall into bed on the first date, but I think it keeps more with the characters that they did take it slow at first. It's very like Jim and Pam to be cautious and nervous around each other at first, then fall gently and naturally into the love that they now share. Excellent.

I think you know my feelings on this pretty well at this point. Would it be wrong for me to gloat that I have the good fortune to see new chapters before anyone else? I guess that would probably be bad manners. Oh well.

Wow. OK, this whole piece has such an atmospheric feeling to it- you can feel the heat, the dryness, the tension in Pam and Jim and Harold. The way you vary your sentence structure is deft and delightful, and every word is precisely chosen. And all of that is aside from the plot, which I find engaging and intriguing and I can't wait to see what happens next. Beautiful work.

Every paaragraph is filled with descriptive and captiving words. You have made it easy for the reader to visualize exactly what is happening. Poor little Harold -- the description of him at the gym was heartbreaking. The back story of Jim was great. It fits exactly to the Jim we have seen.

Fascinating and evocative. I have no idea where you're going with this but I love it already. Your description of "The Captain" made him palpably real and his effect on Andre was tangible.

Very creative! I have no idea really where you're going, but I like the depth to which you've developed four new characters within the space of one chapter. And I really like the idea of Jim coaching little kids at baseball!

Interesting... baseball, Jim Halpert and kids. A few of my favorite things. The grandpa sounds like a tough nut. If anyone can bring Harold out of his shy shell, Jim Halpert can. Looking forward to seeing where you take this story.

Stablergiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl!!!! This is cause for celebration! They drank their beer and they ate their pizza and they decided mutually that Harold Moran needed something in his life, and that Jim and Andre were maybe the guys to bring it to him. Somehow. Now THAT'S an invitation, if ever I heard one. I'm just going to pull up a chair to the story circle and make myself comfortable. So excited to have you back. I've recuperated from Famous withdrawal and am ready for Harold and friends and it's related period of obsession.
I think your little details are what make your fics so great. For instance: Eventually he reached his fingers out and his hand was little and covered in dirt, rough against the flour that still lingered in the crevices of Jim’s palm.
Have I mentioned that I'm excited? I'm excited : )

Wow. There you go blowing me away again with a new fantastic story; on my birthday nonetheless. Can't ask for a better present than that. :)

I mean this an a very un-stalker-like way, but my heart always skips a beat when I open up the "recent" page and I see a new story from you, Stablergirl. I have enjoyed every one of your works, so please keep up the excellent writing. It's a very long summer waiting for September.
Date: July 05, 2008 10:26 pm Title: The Bow
already I am deeply intrigued by what's going on with Harold and of course how our newly dating twosome will figure in. I love the lightness of Jim here who is obviously feeling light because he's shed the weight of Karen. hahaha. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Hey LoveFool! Thanks for the review. Glad you're in this one with me and hopefully the story will stay interesting for you. Let me know.

This is just great, Stablergirl! I love the rich characterizations you always develop in your stories. Very much looking forward to learning more about Harold & Andre.
One wee tiny request, though. Could you post your stories with the editor so the text can be expanded? It would be easier to read!
Author's Response: I have no idea what that means. I would love to do that for you and make your life easier if only I knew how ;-) Feel free to kick me an email with instructions!

Nice to see something new from you! Completely original and intriguing, as always. I love your writing style--so engaging and vivid. Can't wait to see where you're taking this.
Author's Response: Thank you so much callisto. I'm glad you're on board ;-)

I think you know my opinion of this...just amazing, compelling fiction that grabs hold of the reader right away. (That sounded like the blurb on the back cover of a novel, didn't it?) We're very lucky to get to read your work for free.
Author's Response: Thanks, brokenloon. You're encouragement is amazing.
Date: July 05, 2008 07:37 pm Title: The Bow
Yay! Stablergirl is writing again. All is well. (Thank you for not using Mark as the Andre character.) Can't wait to see where you take us.
Author's Response: you're welcome! Didn't want to use anybody we already know, really. I thought I'd create new people around Jim and Pam. Let me know how you like it as it goes on.

Captivating stablergirl. Can't wait for more...even thought I kinda wanted to cry.
Author's Response: aw thanks. yeah Harold is a sad one, so far, huh?

Love how you've set this up - I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: thank you!

This was very intriguing. Certainly very different than anything else I've read in this fandom. I like it and can't wait to read more! I'm curious to see where you go with this.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Please let me know what you think as the story goes on.

Wow. So when I think of the summer after season three, I imagine Jim and Pam being cute, going on lots of dates, and having lots of sex. You...come up with this. And I bow to your creative mind. Can't wait to see what else you have in store. I feel so bad for Harold already.
Author's Response:
yes it's definitely a different take on things, but hopefully it will still make sense. Thanks for reviewing this one and thanks for empathizing with Harold, poor thing.

I was just thinking, where the hell is Stablergirl? When poof! I got a new story notification in my inbox. I'm already completely drawn in to this one! Can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

Honestly? I don't even need Pam and I love Pam, this is just that good. It's engaging and you've got some fabulous characterization going for you.
Author's Response: wow thank you so much ;-) I'm glad you're liking it so far. Let me know how you like the rest of the story as it goes on!!
