Summary: Past Featured Story

MEMBER'S CHOICE - "Here’s the thing Jim, sometimes being in love means doing things you don’t want to do for the other person. For you, right now, it means just being her friend. And I think you’re selling yourself short, you are strong enough to do this."

Jim gets some much needed advice about Pam and a little push in the right direction from Mark's girlfriend Jane. Spoilers through the Negotiation.

I am like, in love with this chapter. Just...ahhhh!!! :)

I absolute adore the part where Jim asks her if it's a "wine or a beer kind of night." Such great dialogue. And you totally captured the nerves and the excitement they were both feeling at that point. Lovely scene.

 I can't wait to see how the rest of their date goes!



Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review.  I really enjoyed writing that scene and I'm so glad that it rang true for you!  I am likewise in love with your review.

Oh, such a lovely chapter! I loved the post-first-date awkwardness. It was absolutely endearing! And I'm really glad that Jim had a "Grown Up" moment and realized he needed to work things out without Jane's help. 

Author's Response: You know, I love Jane and I think Jim does too, but yeah, at some point I wanted him to realize that this is Pam and he can do this himself.  I don't know how well I conveyed it, but that's what I wanted.  And as for the awkwardness, we've all been there right?  Oooh, just me?  whoops.   I figured it would be weird for them, so I went with it and I'm so happy that you liked it.  Thanks for the review.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.

Date: May 29, 2007 Title: Chapter 17: You have no idea...

"There was no science in her art. There was no order. There was only honesty…and it had always been her experience that honesty was messy."

I love how you use this realization throughout the chapter. It's so true. And I think Pam really felt the weight of it when she decided to take the painting over to Jim's.

Also, I LOVED the dialogue between Jim and Mark. Such a roommate conversation!

 Can't wait for the next chapter!

Summary:

No matter how much this couple is perfect for each other, they are bound to have flaws. Jim and Pam head to marriage counseling, and learn to deal with their issues in a semi adult manner.

KANDY!!!!

Okay, obviously I've been dosing myself up on dollsome's Kandy fics this week. But really, soooo excited!

 

I love that everyone from the office was actually nice to Ryan when he came back. So realistic. I mean, of course Michael will be Michael, but I'm glad to read a story that shows a more realistic scenario for Ryan's first big visit!

 

And the art show?? I'm so happy that Jim took that extra step to be there for Pam. He's got a lot of making up to do in S4.



Author's Response: Yeah I think some people might not respect his promotion, but I think in the end, they'd be gracious to him about it. Glad everyone likes the Kandy. I came up with the idea a while ago and was worried that everyone would think I was ripping Dollsome off. Thanks for your review!

Summary:

Jim's life for years revolved around wanting something he could not have. What happens when Jim finally gets everything he ever wanted? Takes place the Monday after "The Job." Jim is with Pam. Karen returns to Scranton.

I'm loving the story so far! Can't wait for the next update!



Author's Response:

Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the map!  I'm glad that it was something Pam drew fast because I can't manage more than stick figures. :-)

Thanks for reading!

Oh what a beautiful chapter. I've told you like..I think almost every chapter now, but the way you intgrate the narrator in between what's happening is just so wonderful to read!

And Jim building Pam a terrace? Oh my gosh. I cried. No joke. Just absolutely beautiful!

 This story has been so wonderful to read!

Author's Response: aw you cried! yay! I'm so glad you read it and enjoyed it and let me know your thoughts!

Reviewer: missmargaret Signed
Date: July 09, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Diners and Dreams

“I’m not,” she told him. And then she sort of glanced off to the side like she couldn’t believe her own ears and the twinkle grew into a smile and she raised her eyebrows.  Mark just stood there…still confused.  “Jim is a good guy…and I’m not engaged,”

Pam's realization here is such a beautiful part of this chapter! You make us feel like we're just learning it with her.

 

And I can't even tell you how much I loved Mark and Mindy's interaction. Like, you just know he probably goes in for the sole purpose of bugging the hell out of her sometimes.

 

And oh sweet god. The last few paraghaphs? So well done. I really really really thought they were just going to give in there, even though I kept going "No, it wouldn't be right now." And then they didnt. And like, just great job. Because you really captured that kind of tug-of-war "I want to but I shouldn't" feeling so beautiful.



Author's Response:

ugh thanks, that's one of my favorite moments so far too.  Just cause it's very subtle for her, and sooo not subtle for the rest of the world.  I'm like "PAM! You're not with Roy...JUMP JIM ALREADY." but she's gotta do it slow. lol.

And glad you got the tug-of-war feeling.  Awesome review! So helpful for me. Thanks!

Also, I love that Pam gauges Michael's normality on how long it takes for him to make her want to button up her sweater.

Break ups are so horrible. Let's just hope none of this ever happens to Jim and Pam in "real life"! haha
