I loved, *loved* this chapter. Pam saying she was with her lover to Dwight...priceless! And the way Michael pounced on it!
president.halpert@gmail.com - love the address
The email interaction was very well-written. Pam is very open by email...très bien.

Jesus! I am addicted.
I check this site roughly 128745437 times a day for a new chapter. It's sad. It's so sad.
Keep up the good work, lady. This is love kind of thing.

I am really enjoying this story! I hope they will talk more about WHY Pam won't let Jim touch her. And please, tell Pam to let Jim touch her :)
Author's Response: There will be more on this in Chapter 15 - just hang tight!

OK. I take it back. Because those lyrics TOTALLY worked in this story. BNL yay!! You should have put in the part about the green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel!!) just to piss Angela off. LOL!
Postcards? SIGH. Oh Jim....

BNL!!! YES!!! I'm literally crying for joy after reading the karaoke scene. Yes. Perfect Jam song. And one of my 10 faves, too.
Nice postcards, great phone conversation, and again, great flashback. Give the whole thing just a little once-over for spelling and extra/missing words, and you're all good!

The postcards went from sad to heartbreaking. The last one brought tears to my eyes. And Meredith still being at the party when they thought they were alone - yikes!

Just have to say that I've never commented on anything on this site, but this is one of the stories that makes me squeal when it's updated! And I just had to comment on this chapter because AHH BNL! All time favorite band EVER, and mixing BNL with Jim/Pam? I am picking up pieces of my brain from all over my desk. Love this lots lots lots and now I really need to find my copy of Gordon, Rock Spectacle, or Disc One!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to comment - I'm so glad there are more BNL/Jam fans! I've just always felt that song was *them*. Thanks again!!!

Wow that was so sad reading those postcards but I could picture Jim writing those to Pam on his trip. Very nice

OH MY GOD, SO CUTE. I freaked out when I saw the song! Barenaked Ladies! That was one of the first CDs that I ever bought for myself. The best part of the song is the "have a fruit roll-up" part, oh man.
You are awesome!
Author's Response: Thanks! I love BNL, and that song is just SO Jam.

It was great cuz I realized what the song was when Pam did! That is a great song. Isn't there a mention of a green dress in it? Angela would disapprove!
Author's Response:
Oh yes -
If I had $1,000,000I would buy you a green dressbut not a real green dress, that's cruel.10 [Report This]Date: October 12, 2006 06:16 pm Title: Chapter 13
Whoa..I'm a complete dork..but what song is that? Lol. Good chapter.
Author's Response:
Oh - I forgot to note that in the author notes! It's "If I had $1,000,000" by the Barenaked Ladies.
Thanks for reminding me!

The postcards broke my heart, but in a good way. I'm going to be holding onto your idea that they're secretly dating until we get some actual Jam on the show.

That was so sweet that he left her his pajama shirt... and the postcards. Can't wait to see what he wrote on them.

Wow that was the BEST.... I am so impressed.... !!! Do more !!!! I love how you write...amazing !!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

Oh wow. This was lovely - it's heavenly to read long chapters! Loved that she blurted out the whole lover thing in front of the entire office! And I really liked the email exchanges, too - oh, and I laughed out loud at Jim saying he was "unstoppable" at 16. hee.
Most of all, though, I love that he left her a note (with his pajama shirt!!!!!). And the postcards....? Sigh/squee.
Can't wait for your next installment!

You want o know what I said when I read the last three sentences?

So glad you like it!

'Caught' - too cute. How sweet is it that Jim would be embarassed the next day? And, frankly, no wonder he's a bit 'over-stimulated' given the long, slow burn Pam's been putting him through - am hoping those post cards will inspire her to jump in the deep end of the pool with him. Meanwhile, this is one hot read.

Seriously. I can't believe how completely adorable (not to mention steamy and sexy) this is. The bit with postcards made me teary and the email banter showed moments of pure genius (LOL! the mob...and I loved that Jim wasn't afraid to tell her he wasn't crazy about her going on the date). Can't wait for more.

Great chapter. I loved the e-mails.
For some reason, I felt like this was the most Pam-like thing in the wholse chapter: The real emphasis in the message was on the JEALOUS and CONNECTIONS TO THE MOB.
The ending was really sweet. I can't wait for more.

Great way to end this chapter. (I wonder if they'll ever mention Jim's trip on the show again?) And "unstoppable at 16"? Awesome :)

Very natural, realistic interaction. The road will be bumpy but still sweet, won't it?
Author's Response: Definitely. I didn't want this to read as a soap opera plot, but it's also not very realistic if they got together then never had any doubts or insecurities. Even when you've loved someone for years, if you appreciate what you have you always have the tiny worry that it could all go away someday.

"I think entirely too much, she scolded herself. All of these mind games and internal monologues were just avoiding the obvious."
Yeah, they are. I think these chapters need to be a bit shorter. I'm still not sure why Pam is so reluctant to have sex with Jim. If she's willing to sleep with the man, tease him, have every kind of sex BUT intercourse with him, I'd like to know the reason why.
Other than that, I like the email exchanges, Dwight's suspicions (so very Dwight of him!) and the postcards. As Kevin would say, "Niiiice."
Author's Response: thanks for taking the time to review. The chapters fall at the length it takes to capture a particular moment. Some are long, some are short. This one in particular was probably one of the longest, but it also had quite a bit of interaction between pam and other office people,
