Date: October 22, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Manos: the Hands of Fate

I'm intrigued...

And I think the title references South Park's Towlie - and I was born in 1980.

Summary: Michael accuses Dwight of borrowing one of his favorite DVD's two years ago... and not returning it. Unable to prove himself innocent, Dwight gets his hands on the rough footage from that day and makes everyone watch to find the real culprit. But when a terrible secret Jim has kept from Pam comes to light, can the two new lovers survive?

HA! I love both fandoms and though I usually hate crossovers, this looks very cool.

Author's Response: lol thanks.  Yeah I'm not usually a crossover fan either, so this should be an interesting one to write.  Thanks for the review ;-)

Oh, I loved the subtle way Scully played Mulder with the Jim thing - awesome!

I'm pretty intrigued by the whole "mystery" too - can't wait for the next part!

Author's Response:

hmm a little jealousy never hurt anybody right? ;-)  Thanks for the review!! The new chapter should be up within the next two days.

Date: November 11, 2007 Title: Chapter 8: It's always darkest just before...uh...

It is always Scully who's getting into these situations, isn't it? Sigh.

Great chapter and I'm hoping that Jim does feel the vibe of Pam being gone, even if he tries to shake it off because of what he heard.

Author's Response: It really is.  I actually have a very special place in my heart for those episodes where it's Mulder who needs saving.  However, this is not one of those! lol.  And yeah hopefully Jim gets the vibes ;-)

Wow, that was intense! I can't wait to see what happens now that Pam has had a near-death experience and is thinking about Jim!

Author's Response: mmmmm hmmmmm!!!!! That is going to be well worth the wait I PROMISE.  I have it all planned in my head.  Now...just to get it on paper...

Date: January 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 13: So close I can taste it...

Yay for another transition chapter! It means that there's more good stuff to come without an ending too close in sight ;)

I LOVE the idea of Mulder and Scully having a dinner party with Pam. I am cracking up (in a good way)!

Great work with Scully in the car. I really like her needing to do it in her own time, but still letting him know that it's going to be good.

Can't wait to read what's next.

Summary: After he ordered the wine she leaned desperately across the table, her hushed whisper lost in the buzz of the low-lighted room.  When he finally looked up, she wished he hadn’t.  [The aftermath of Money.]

Date: October 24, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: 'twas but my tongue, 'twas not my heart that swore

“Because you never felt about me the way I did about you!”

Yes! This is the line I've been dying to read since the beginning of the season! I feel like we've already seen so many grand gestures from Jim (though I loved the kiss in 'Money' - don't get me wrong) and I am DYING to see Pam make something approaching a grand gesture and show that she's "all in" too.

Sorry - all that to say - great story!

Summary: In this moment, in their home, eating dinner with Jim, something they've done countless times in the past and will do countless times in the future, Pam is overcome with the desire to articulate just how deeply he's rooted in her heart.

Oh, that was lovely! Great visual of Jim falling on his ass and then Karen out on his balcony with a sleeping bag. You're breaking my heart for both of them - in a good way.

Summary:

After a slight pause, Jim rose as well, moving to follow Dwight.  Pam stood and shook her head at him. 

 

            “Let me go…I owe Dwight one.”

 

 

 

Alternate Scene for Money I couldn't get out of my head.  What if Pam went after Dwight?  Short, comments would be great.

Wow, that was so painful and yet, realistic. I loved that Jim upped the ante (no pun intended) with touching her leg as she walked by. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: It\'s funny how much of a sucker I am for the angsty stuff...I love that you appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Summary: Past Featured Story

What if Pam refused to let Angela drop her off at home after the Dundies?

“I want to go to Jim’s,” Pam said, interrupting Angela’s thoughts.

Angela felt as though her head might pop off and land in one of her cup holders. Would the depravity of this night never end?

I absolutely love this! I completely understand Pam's desperation to find the perfect dress and all that it should rightly imply. Jim's line about the ambassadors is spot and I love it! Just fabulous!

Author's Response: oh, thank you so much! wanting to make a good impression is such a common thing, but with their history, i\'m sure pam feels even more pressure - glad you liked!

Date: November 11, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: hold on hold tight make it through another night every day there comes a song with the dawn

Crap - you just reminded me I left a load of laundry in the dryer that needs to be folded. Guess I know what I'm doing once I finish this.

Really excellent job. You have a way of delving into Jim's bruised and slightly out of control psyche at that point in late season two, without making him too overly dramatic.

The last scene was fabulous. Really great work as always!

Author's Response:

Hee -- sorry about the laundry reminder!  (Though if it's any consolation, I've got a load -- the third I've done today -- in the dryer.  And I always feel incredibly resentful at that damned buzzer when it goes off, LOL.)

So glad to hear you say that my Jim comes off as bruised / out of control without being overdramatic -- so relieved, actually, to hear you say that, because I think in a lot of my earlier fics, I was *definitely* guilty of melodrama, particularly when it came to Jim (and still am, to some degree).  So it's good to hear that you found it believable.  :o)

Thanks, as always, for the review!

That was really cool! Anytime I see your name on a fic, I know it's going to be awesome and this was no exception. I love that video that inspired you too - it's a great song and really greatly edited.

Author's Response:

Whoosh.  *breathing a sigh of relief*  Seriously -- I worried about this one: Would anyone still care three weeks after the pivotal episode aired? 

...So great to hear that you enjoyed it, and equally awesome to see a familiar name review.  *beaming*  (And yes -- how freaking brilliant was that video??  Baffles me, honestly....)

Thanks again!

Author's Response: Yeah, I even considered registering the blogspot.com address, but then I caught a reflection of myself in the window next to me and realized that if I CREATED A BLOG FOR A FAKE CHARACTER IN A FAKE FICTION I would be actually, totally batshit crazy. I'm comfortable riding that edge of insanity, but I'm not quite ready to take the full-on plunge.

Thanks for reading and commenting, though, I really appreciate it.

Great sales call with Dwight and Jim! I always love when they work together.

Author's Response: I like writing Dwight.  I just think of a paranoid vulcan and it seems to come out sounding like him :-D  Thanks for reviewing!
