That was really brilliant. Just so in tune with that episode and with the theme of season 3. Just so unbelievably well written. Congratulations on entering the awesome and addicting world of Office fanfic; hope to read more from you!

Author's Response: Thank you for such a warm welcome. I am kind of kicking myself for not watching the Office sooner, but I was introduced to S1 this summer and knew I had to get caught up. S3 was definitely the hardest to watch. One of the reasons I love Pam and Jim is because it's just so... real.

Wacky Wednesday by Muggins Rated: M [Reviews - 31] 14
Summary: Past Featured Story

Michael watched Pam through the blinds. She was so lucky, everyone always wanted to talk to her, hang out with her, be friends with her. Sometimes he wished he could be her. It would all be so easy if he was Pam.


Pam looked up to see Michael staring at her through the blinds. She smiled to herself before turning back to answering the phones. Sometimes she wondered what it was like to be Michael. It must be strange.


There's a rule of the universe. Never wonder the same thing at the same time as someone else. That's a karmic jinx.

WOW. How did I NOT read this before now? This is just, gah, freaking hysterical. You completely have Michael down and Pam too and I'm just loving it. It's been a while since I've laughed this hard so thank you. Awesome, awesome job.



Author's Response: I'm assuming you didn't read it before because I write really, really slow and it flew off the front page of MTT on one of those busy days when 80 people post. What I need to do is learn to type fast enough that I can post every hour on the hour. So my apologies.... And look, it took me exactly ONE MONTH to respond to your review. That is how slow I am!

I didn't have the pleasure of reading this the first time around so I'm glad you've let us have the opportunity to enjoy it again. I'm not sure if I even have the words to properly illustrate just how brilliant and gorgeous this is. I'm just completely blown away and just.. gah. Absolutely perfect, and if I may add, definitely wonderful to read before the premiere of season four. :)

I really liked this. I've always loved the close relationship Pam and her mom have (even if we don't see it much) and this illustrates it well. I especially love how you pave Pam's journey through the eyes of her mom and you just wrote it really well. Awesome job.

Author's Response: Thanks!  I liked the idea that Pam's mom has been "on" to what's really been going on between her daughter and the paper salesman for a long time (as evidenced in ""Sexual Harassment" back in the beginnig of Season 2) but that she was the kind of mother (the best kind) who knew that Pam had to discover and address her true feelings for Jim on her own and in her own way...mistakes and all.  I like to think that Pam's mom was a sort of gentle, behind the scenes guide for Pam throughout her journey of discovery in Season 3, giving her daughter the sort of quiet encouragement that kept Pam on track to becoming "Fancy New Beesly".
