Away From the Cameras: Season Three by girl7 Rated: M [Reviews - 55] 27
Summary:

This is along the same lines as my other Away From the Cameras, in the sense that I'm exploring scenes that might have happened off-camera (or simply those that we didn't get to see).

A few things: First, I'm working on the assumption that a lot of what I wrote in the AFtC for season II stands (though I likely won't reference any of it here), up until Casino Night.  (Clearly I was quite off about what happened after the kiss...heh.)

Second, there will be flashbacks filling in the blanks of what happened immediately after CN (how long did Jim work? how did he and Pam ultimately leave things? how did she end things with Roy? how did Jim find out about her cancelling the wedding?); the flashbacks will happen largely in the chapters pre-merger (to keep things interesting for Jim/Pam fans during their physical separation).

Okay, these are easily as good (And in a couple of cases, better) as the show and I LOVED them. I absolutely guffawed at a few of the lines. Please write more. You're smart as hell and I love your Jam, not to mention that everything else is pitch-perfect.

Author's Response: Wow. Thank you! I didn\'t think anyone read these anymore...lol... I really appreciate that, that is SUCH high praise. I am working on something right now but I have to hold off for a bit... I\'ll explain soon... ; ) Thanks again! And keep that hot steaminess of yours coming!

A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event.  Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).

Yaaayy! My favorite story from my favorite author! Aaagh, this is KILLING me. The beautiful way you're drawing this out is excruciating and I don't want it to end, but AAAAGH!

Author's Response:

Yaaay!  :O) So glad you're enjoying this; I for one am THRILLED that you guys encouraged me to do an AU version, because this ending is so much fun to write.... :o)

Thanks for reviewing!

You really, really, really should be published. You are a master of tension and my absolute favorite writer here, which is pretty funny considering how impatient and instant-gratification-oriented I am.

Author's Response:

Wow - thank you so much, really.  Seriously - what a nice thing to say.  So glad you're enjoying the tension; I love drawing it out, and I worry sometimes that I stretch it too much (because you know, that can compromise a storyline -- looking at YOU Greg Daniels).  :o)

Thanks so much for your kind words & for taking the time to review!

Date: September 23, 2007 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19: We're Strange Allies With Warring Hearts

Like sweet torture. It's amazing how truly you write their voices. I love it and you have really made me miss the show a little less. What kills me, is that once the season starts, you'll probably be posting less, and I'll have to depend on the show to make me miss *you* less...

Author's Response:

Okay, so that review almost made me cry --- such kind words.  Thank you so much, seriously.  It's hard to articulate, but truly, I began writing fanfic without intending to show it to anyone on earth (let alone put it on the internet!).  So to hear that people are interested in what I've written and are enjoying it is just beyond wonderful. 

As for my writing less when the premiere rolls around, all I'll say is this: There have been a few points when I've thought, well, I'll probably stop writing now...and it hasn't happened yet.  :o)

Thank you, seriously, for your thoughtful words!
