If I didn't already love Jim so much, I'm sure I'd love him just from reading this. So utterly beautiful, what an amazing voice you have.

Author's Response: What a kind thing to say. And, yeah...that boy is easy to love. Glad this story still holds up for you and thanks so much for the lovely comments, oobadnama.

So I found this through the handy archive of featured stories at the MTT boards and I'm so ashamed I'd never read this before. Because, seriously, might be the greatest thing ever written. I just.. wow.. perfection. So utterly good and I just.. yeah. I love this so much. And I need to stop babbling but this was SO GOOD. I wish I had more words to properly articulate this awesomeness but suffice to say, it is awesome. Clearly.

Author's Response: Thank you, oobadnama -- this was a fun one to write -- I'm glad you liked it!

Summary:

So this started in my mind as a little one shot (cue mocking laughter).  Of course it expanded to a little more.  It's pure speculation on my part, and is probably quite off.  :o)

So I've literally spent the past 2 and half hours reading all of your stories. They are SO good. I mean, just.. really great. I just wanted you to know that.. you're an amazing writer and I cannot wait to read more from you. Oh, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to not sit through golf. Hee.

Author's Response: Oh wow -- thank you so much!  I'm really glad you liked them; it's always really a treat to get a new review of an older work. :o) Thanks again for taking the time to review!

Summary:

A visit from Sasha, a secret code, and some tummyweather. Slightly angsty, but ends with the promise of fluff. Some spoilers for "Business School".

Ok, so I stumbled upon this little gem in my desperate attempt to find something new to read, and I was not disappointed by this.

This was really great. I love the voices you gave Jim, and especially Sasha. She's a smart cookie, isn't she? Reminds me so much of my own niece.. maybe that's why I liked her so much. ;) In any case, she was adorable.

What a unique idea. I really, really enjoyed this and I'll definitely be adding it to my favorites.

I squealed a little when I saw in my e-mail that there was an update to this. And it did not disappoint. Lovely job as always, ladama. I am anxiously awaiting Pam and Jim's reunion and to see where it all goes. I trust that it'll be good in your hands. :)

Author's Response:

I won't be so trusting if I were you.

Just kidding, I think what I have planned is pretty good.

I'm agreeing with everyone when I say that I'm really fascinated by this. I love that you've given it it's own unique spin and I absolutely adore the voice you've given Pam, it makes me root for her more than I usually do. Heh. Great job; I can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: What actually inspired this story was a question I saw on a message board that asked if people would cheer for a woman pining away for years for an engaged man the same way people cheered for Jim in season 2, so I'm happy to read that you are rooting for the single Pam in my story here. Thanks!

Summary: Past Featured Story

"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."

Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.

But seriously, it's really.. original and wonderful and I love that I can read the epilogue and know who the TH belongs to, in theory. Thanks for writing a really beautiful piece.

Author's Response:

Aw, thank you! That doesn't sound creepy to me, I'm very glad you've enjoyed it and got around to telling me :)

Oh, it pleases me to see one of my favorite songs used in a fic. No matter how sad it is. I really liked this, and it has so much potential too, maybe you can do something more with it if it strikes you. :)

Author's Response:

I don't think there is a way to use Two Beds and A Coffee Machine and have it not be sad. It is such a sad, but amazing song.

If I get a flash of inspiration, I will definitly continue. Hopefully make it a positive outcome!

Andy has always been one of my favorite characters, and I've never seen any stories that feature him so I'm really excited about this. What a great start and I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response:

I'm so glad you like it!  There's definitely not many Andy stories; hopefully, I'll do justice to him.  I'm quite excited to see Season 4 Andy, actually.  I think he's going to be a lot of fun.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait about 3 weeks for an update.  I'm away for a couple weeks starting soon (visiting my sister in Scottsdale, naturally), and I won't really have a lot of access to a computer, particularly since no one but my husband knows anything about my writing fanfic...or my reading fanfic...or my obsessive TWoP reading and posting. 

Thanks so much for reviewing!

This the final chapter (that was hot, btw) was definitely worth waiting 900 years for. Heh, I kid. I'm just an impatient biatch. I actually squealed a little when I saw that you updated it.

Fantastic, by the way. Kinda sad it's ending though, but ya never know.. inspiration may hit you for sequel or something. ;)

Great, great story. I really enjoyed it.



Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! I can't say I'd write a sequel to this, but.. I'm sure there is more smut in my future. xD

Summary:

After being dumped by Jim, Karen tries to take back control of her life... by kidnapping Jim! What nefarious plans does Karen have in store for him? Can Pam rescue Jim before Karen makes him a castrati? Why is Dwight obsessed with semen? All this and more inside! You'd think that maybe it'd be more of a crime drama than anything else, but I'm voting for the anything else.

And how come there's no option for Genres:Twisted? I'd use that.

Author's Response: I think I officially crossed over into crazy territory three weeks ago when I finished my testing.  Now that my thesis only needs to be written, I have gone off the deep end.  I do not, however, have any bodies in my basement.  This is because I do not have a basement.

I've been reading this since the second chapter, but didn't really know how to tell you how much I applaud you for writing something that is so out of the norm and to do it so gracefully. (I really loved the sudden Jim/Roy friendship and the Dwight prank!) Well, I guess I could have just said that.. but.. I digress.

Anyway.. I'll stop babbling but I just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this. Awesome job.

It was REALLY difficult not to give into temptation and have them end up together, but I agree - at the very least, this ending is a huge victory for Pam, and a much-needed kick in the pants for Jim. Thank you!
