Written in response to the Evening Coming (aka the Scarf) challenge. Not usually one for prompts, but this one got me thinking.
Just found this one, and I wanted to tell you that it was so moving that I cried. Loved it.
Author's Response: Sorry to make you cry, but I'm so happy you liked it. Wrote this one a while ago, so it's also nice to know it's still getting read! Thanks so much, downtown.
Member's Choice - Pam thought she was throwing these letters away. But what happens when your garbage doesn't stay in the garbage? Set mid-season 3.I am in love with this story!!! I am so glad you're continuing on with it. I love the idea of the dreamgirl letters. So romantic and sweet.
Author's Response: Thanks. I knew I couldn't be the only one who would love those letters. Wouldn't it be great to find a guy like that? Super unrealistic, but still...
Three years have passed since Pam left Scranton for New York, and Jim is still very much on her mind. Will a work-related trip to Rome, Italy be the catalyst that reunites Pam with Jim once and for all?
the Trevi Fountain! Such fond memories there... definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Rome (I found Florence to be more my speed, but Rome was beautiful as well... but I definitely agree with the awful hotel accomodations!) just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying this story and anxiously awaiting more. Bellisimo!
Author's Response: Isn't Trevi Fountain so awesome??!! The only thing I didn't like about it is the insane amount of people that are there. Ugh. When I was in Florence (this is going back maybe 10 years) there was a big political protest (apparently unions are always striking there) and I was a tad scared of it... add that while waiting outside the Uffizi Gallery a gypsy woman threw her kid at a tourist to try and rob her- not exactly fun times. But the art work in Florence was amazing. I'm so glad to hear that you think my portrayal of Rome is well done- thank you so much for reading and reviewing. :)

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.
Kandy for the win!!! I literally gasped at the ending, then giggled. Great buildup! Looking forward to the next part.
Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! I loved writing that ending so I'm glad people enjoyed it.
Angela notices something is different about Pam and talks to her about it. Post the Job
She strolled (somewhat) casually over to Pam’s desk as she exited the interview and asked her about her smile.
adorable! I really love how Angela and Pam's relationship has advanced throughout the series (and with their counterparts, Dwight and Jim) I think this displays it in a nice, subtle sweet way. Angela was one of the first Jammers anyway! lol!
Author's Response: I too love Angela/Pam's friendship (even though it's messed up) I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the review. look for more... hopefully soon ;)
OH MY LORD. this is going to hurt SO GOOD.
!!!!!!!!
I love the idea of Karen & Dwight in a real secret alliance... and Kelly also filtering some of that hate through the office as well. It looks like Ryan is in for some fresh hell from DM Scranton.
When Stanley grabbed Ryan by the neck I seriously laughed out loud. Great work!
This is just the right touch of nastiness. So awesome. I LOVE LOVE LOVED the Lonny/Darryl scene and Karen & Dwight. And AndyKelly. WOO! I just loved the whole thing. Sequel, please?
YES. Andy/Kelly is seriously my number one PLEASELETTHISHAPPEN thing now. Because it just has to! You write them so well, and realistically, and I totally dig their dynamic with Jim and Pam. It's awesome and real. I loved your previous story and I love this one too. It makes me want to squee with happiness!!!!
This was submitted for the Office Fiction Writers Challenge. Kevin Malone decides to try his hand at creative writing.oh, Kevin. this is so awesome. I love how he was considerate enough to at least attempt to change the names. ha ha ha.
this one is definitely my favorite 55! lovely!
Author's Response: Wow! TGhank you so much!
What if Jim and Pam erased all memories of each other? Would they be able to start again? How would Roy and Karen react? Set post-Season Two and loosely based off ideas from the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
10 First off, I want to apologize for not reading this sooner! I have never seen the movie so I guess I just kept passing by this one... I'm glad I caught up on it this time! I tend to not like crossovers too much, but I absolutely love this. Please post more soon. Pretty please? :)
Author's Response: Thanks, downtown! I tried to write the series so it would still be enjoyable to anyone, even if they haven't seen the movie. Workin' on posting the next chapter. Thank you for reading, I appreciate it!
A pool party and a shirtless Jim. Need I say more?
Another story in the series - Jim Halpert: More Than the Sum of His Parts
I just read the title and I was grinning ear to ear! What a fun piece!
Author's Response: Thanks you, downtown - so glad you enjoyed it!!
10 This story is so fun, I am in love!!!! It's the first thing I read in a long time that I was like NO!!!! Don't end it here!!! Keep going!!!! Please post more soon :)
Author's Response: Haha, well I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm not exactly sure when the next chapter will be up, I'm going to do Chapter Five of 'A Game of Global Domination' first I believe. I did back-to-back updates on this one because I got blue-ribboned and sort of wanted to update while I was still a featured story, but I lost that. Still, I won't leave you or anyone else hanging, Pam's speech is coming! Thank you for the review downtown.
But he's Jim. And he looks at her and she feels that way she can never quite define. Post The Job.

10 Thank you so much for bringing this over here. It brought me to tears the first time I read it, not because of the way it ended but just the way you really get these two characters. I see this as a plausible, living thing and you've done so right by both of them. Beautiful and bravo and well done.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much - I've gotten mixed reviews from some people that feel the exact opposite, that I didn't get the characters at all, so I'm so glad that you think I did. Just, thank you. :)
10 HA HA HA HA HA Yes!!!!!!!!
ooh, I'm very intrigued by this. Interesting idea to tell Grace's side of the story. The little moment with Jim's head snapping up when she answered the phone in the finale was just so perfect. Can't wait to read more :)
Author's Response: That moment just stuck in my brain, and I realized that the character name "Grace," was definitely not an accident. Thank you very much- I'll get the rest posted soon!
10 Thanks for posting the next part so quickly! Awesome! Can't wait to see how she reacts to Jim leaving the interview... and what really happened! I know that's what we're all dying to know :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm definitely going "off script" for the last part. I hope you like how I imagine it!
10 perfect, perfect, perfect! I am grinning from ear to ear now. I love that Grace & Pam are "friends" and I'd imagine they speak to each other a lot now that I think about it!!! With all the communication between Scranton & corporate over the years... now I want to see Grace in the new episodes!!! :) This was so well done and clever... way to Jim!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad I could make you smile. I am almost afraid they will show more of Grace and she won't be nearly as much fun as I've imagined her. Heh. Thank you, again!
Post season three finale. Pam, Jim, a train. 10 again, beautiful, beautiful, wow wow wow. this has like amped up my anticipation for the next season sevenfold or something.
One of Andy's favorite phrases takes on a whole new meaning.
Mose thinks his was "so wrong". He's a wuss.
10 awww, poor Stanley! He never get a break! Great work TLK!!!
Author's Response:
I know! Hopefully, he'll get that tire changed and be on his way.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, downtown!
Dinner, and what happened later. Post-Season 3.10 I didn't even read it before I literally squealed at the prospect of something new from you. You did not disappoint. You put such a new fresh spin on things that people have done well, but you do even better. You are just so awesome. And I sound like such a dork, I'm sorry, but you rock!!!! Off to a great start again!
Author's Response: Thank you, downtown! I know there's not much new ground here, since this story has already been written so well so many times, but I've done my best to give it a new(ish) spin.
You basically rule. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Author's Response: Yay! Thanks so much, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Weekends with Jim can be a terrible distraction on Monday.
10 swoon. this was so romantic. great work :)
