Inspired by the finale and the seasons that preceeded it. Enough said.
8 Please post again soon! The wait is going to kill me!! This is so great, very convincing characters. Please please post the next chapter/s soon!
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you liked it - and I'm working on it! The next chapter should be up pretty soon.
Thanks for reviewing!
Drabbleish thing set after the finale. Like, right after. Pure fluffiness.9 I love it! I can't pinpoint what makes it sit so well, but it really feels authentic and is addictive - I'm bummed to have finished it!
Please post more soon... Maybe a glimpse into the date conversation? Or what happened after she left the conference room talking head?
Post ep The Job. Spoilers for The Job and probably most of season 3.
"So where do you see yourself in 10 years?" Who knew one question could provoke a reaction? Jim sure didn't. Starts with the David/Jim conversation and moves on from there.
9 WOOOO! I love it, am bursting with aniticipation for the next installment. Please don't make us wait too long!
My favourite line: "Walking out on David Wallace was the first honest thing he had done in over a year." It really wrapped up so much in a simple statement.
As far as constructive criticism goes (I really loved most of it, I just want to share my opinion on this bit, I hope that's ok): I always expected Pam to be a little shy and awkward, even if just for a few minutes, when she walks out of the conference room after the talking head. He would have to come over to reception, rap his fingers against the ledge and show that he's really "back" with a little old-school Jam interaction, before Pam could really be sure that it was real.
Overall, I think it's stunning and am so excited to read more!
9 This is excellent! Please don't make us wait too long before posting again, I can't wait for some Jam date banter!
I love it all, so it was difficult to pick a favourite, but for some reason I really love this line:
"He couldn’t tell if it was working."
Anyway, please post again soon, I'm loving this to pieces! Excellent job.
She can’t help but feel like it’s a good sign; a step in the right direction. Set post-The Job.10 This is beautiful! I love everything about it - the fancy restaurant being too swish for them, fries theft and ball pits - it's so amazing. The narrative is great too, it really sounds like Pam in my head.
Please post again soon - this is amazing.
Jim's first barbeque was a success and so he decides to have another. Someone breaks into the liquor cabinet and things... take interesting turns.
Jim/Pam smut with a pretty hefty (for me) plot, but LOTS OF DRINKING! Which is always fun.
FINISHED!!!
Woah! I've only read the first chapter and can't wait to keep going. Nice work! I love that Mark swears like a sailor, too. :)
Jim asks Pam out after his return from NYC. Will it be the perfect first date or will their nerves get the best of them?
10 I love it! Oh, please write an infinite number more chapters. I was so sad when I realised this chapter didn't include the date I'm so desperate to read about.
One of the things I thought about most after viewing the finale was how Pam and Jim would interact when Pam walks out of the conference room. You've done a great job of capturing their coy-ness (is that a word? Anyway...) and sudden humility around each other. Fantastic. Please write more!!
8 Wheeeee! This is SO great, I really love it. The note, the smile from the camera guy - it's all gold. Please post again soon!
10 It made me feel giddy! I'm loving this. The whole Dwight/Andy plot is really authentic, it really feels like it would fit in the show. And the email exchanges are perfect - I want to read their whole week of email exchanges!!
My favourite line, so perfect, has to be: "You know I'm right."
I love it, please post more!
Takes place after "The Job".
Jim has finally asked Pam out on a date. What happens now? This story follows their relationship as it develops throughout the summer, and shows how the rest of Dunder Mifflin reacts to both this and other recent changes in their lives.
10 Fantastic! I love it. The humour is spot on and I love Michael's line - it really sounds like Michael!
Please write mor sson - I'm addicted...!
9 Wow! You've really hit a great balance of optimism and regret - it's fantastic. Do you plan to write more? Maybe one from Jim's point of view? I love it! Great job.
10 It's wonderful! I can really see it happening in my head as I read, everything is so true the characters we already know. Please post more soon!
Hooray SusanM!!
10 Wow - you've really done your research! I can't believe I never noticed the 'Smile' sticky note before. :)
I love this chapter, maybe even more than the first. Especially Jim's thoughts on the drive - I felt a little giddy for him!
10 WOW! This is definitely my favourite chapter so far. Everything about it is so genuinely Jim & Pam - from "Jim wasn’t a complainer" to "Go Team Me!" - amazing.
And I love that Pam has "Jim" playlist - it definitely seems like something she would feel compelled to make on a lonely night at home after a day of Jim/Karen torture. Did you get the Wilco reference from Jim's iTunes celebrity playlist? It was an excellent addition.
Excellent work SusanM - I'm so excited about the last chapter. Thanks so much for writing :)
10 Aww, I'm sad that it's over. There's really no more to come? Are you working on new stuff? I need more SusanM ff, stat (stat means now).
Such amazing stuff, I'm in awe.
It's never too late to celebrate the people you love.9 Oh I love it! Is there going to be more? I must know what these presents are!
Post-Benihana Christmas fic!
Remember when Jim and Pam convinced Dwight that a CIA helicopter would pick him up on the roof? Well, neither of them could resist showing up that night to see the prank to it's conclusion.
8 Please post again soon! I'm really really enjoying your stuff (TWSS).
Love the line about how her walls are leopard print - hilarious!
9 I love it! Excellent, excellent stuff. The whole thing felt so convincing - in my head I can see Pam looking in her bin then swinging her glance over to Jim's desk with a curious grin on her face.
Is this a one off or a series? I'd love to read more!
10 Ooooh! I love this one SO much! Excellent job. If you were a real person and this wasn't a computer screen I would air-high-5 you!
Really impressive stuff, especially for a first go. I love the hug - seems more genuine than a kiss.
More chapters? Please?
