Oh thanks for including pics of the Banshee! That place looks pretty awesome. Total Jim/Pam date place!

Just started your story. It's perfectly Jim and Pam crafted. The phone conversations are adorable. I love how you have written this. The Office writer's might want to contact you!! Thanks for sharing and keep it comin!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! The writers are free to contact me anytime, but I promise you'd only be disappointed by the results. :)

Continue to love this story. I love how nervous Jim is to touch Pam. I do hope he conquers his fears though!
Author's Response: Thanks! Well, ONE of them better get it together soon, right? I think my profile gets deleted if I write a first date story that doesn't include some sort of Pim action... :)

I love that Jim's nervous and not at all sure. There's so much water under the bridge that the first date would HAVE to be a little bit awkward.
LOVED Pam's tell about the Sixers. That was such a cute moment and I hope Jim finds a way to press her on that later.
I'm really enjoying this and I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! I absolutely agree...in my mind, at least, Jim and Pam are kind of...well, dorks, y'know? Awkward is their forte. And don't fret - the Sixers aren't done being mentioned (or abused. Hey, I'm a Pistons fan!). :)

Where have you been hiding all ths time, lady?! You show up on this site and hit one out of the park. Just favorited you and this story. I love your attention to detail (the comic book, the coaster, etc.). “Pam.” It's almost a whisper. I make myself meet her eyes. I nearly fell out of my chair. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Well Nan, I'm a bit on the short side in my chair o' wheels here, so hiding isn't really necessary... :) The real answer is I staked a place out at FF.net months ago but was too nervous to post here...and now I wonder why; you all have been so kind! Thanks for the reviews and the favoriting and gosh darnit, all of it!

Yay! Congratulations on your blue ribbon, Little Comment - it is well deserved. I love this story. I love how Jim is so nervous about touching her or saying too much - that really rings true because I can totally see him feeling that way after all they'd been through up until this point. I can't wait to see what happens next. Moonlight walk in the park? Sounds romantic......
Author's Response: Thanks Kells! I am honored...and yet confused, as I don't really know what a blue ribbon is for. My hubby and I speculated that when I wasn't watching this story headed to the county fair and raised a prize cow. Is that it? :) Anyway, thanks for your kind words...having been in a similar situation myself years ago I've always felt like this nervousness and awkwardness would reign supreme. I hope you'll be pleased by what comes next!

Hey, nothing wrong with another first date fic. At this point, anything is good to help pass the time before the next season starts, right? :D
Seriously, though, I really am enjoying the tone of this piece. I like the first person narrative you've got going, and the alternating POVs of Jim and Pam. i think you've got a really good grasp on the characters, and it's really refreshing to read something so nicely crafted. Good job, and can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Gosh Mose...me AND anything help pass the time? I'm touched. :) Thanks for such a kind review! Like I've said before, I know first peson present tense isn't an approach everyone digs, but for this story I felt like it fit - that's how it started coming out and so I ran with it. I do hope you'll enjoy the rest! :)
