Pam moved to New York instead of starting work at Dunder Mifflin. Years later she returns and she meets Jim, but they're at very different points in their lives.Aw, I'm disappointed that this is wrapping up. I know it's been like four months, but it still feels like it's too soon.
Just a couple of quick notes. You might want to insert some line breaks when you skip time (like between Franny's temper tantrum and the wedding, etc) because it gets pretty confusing without an indication that the scene has changed.
Also, in your chapter end notes - I think you mean an epilogue? Or are you adding something to the beginning of the story?
Author's Response: I meant epilogue of course. I just clearly was trying to post this and didn\'t look over my notes.
Jim and Pam are Jim and Pam, only...not really.It took me a while to get into this story because it just tripped too many of my usual squicks (for lack of a better word), but now, I really like how they are opening up to each other. They are starting to feel more like the Jim and Pam I know and love. So, good job!
Author's Response: yeah I guess I was probably purposely tripping the squicks (for lack of a better word) to try to make something good come out of them ;-) Glad you're recognizing them now, that was basically my plan from the start. Sort of a "they're Jim and Pam but they're not but...they are" kind of scenario. If that makes sense...
Aw, that was so cute! Just what I needed tonight ;)
Author's Response: Glad to be of service!
This last one was my favorite! The Jim/Toby conflict is one that I'm really looking forward to seeing resolved on the show ;) This was a great take on it!
Oh, I love the premise of this story and I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: If only the two of them spoke sooner (and without misinterpretation). :) Thank you!!! I'm working on it.
Oh, I love that it's awkward, but they are both so willing to try. Great job!
Author's Response: I am sure it would have been awkward - but I think it's getting better as time passes. I think they'll be back on track soon. ;) Thanks so much for the review.
Love. IT!
Author's Response: Thank. YOU!
Aw, a great way to end it! I can definitely see the engagement/non-engagement and the distance wearing on them over this summer. But I really liked how you resolved it.
Can't wait for your next piece :)
Author's Response: Thanks Jenn. I'm so glad you liked it. I think I've confused everyone though. The change in the story is the chapter BEFORE the epilogue. :) If you mised it I hope you get a chance to read it.
Imagine Jim’s confession on Casino Night never happened and Pam actually made it down the aisle on June 10th . . . only to say “I don’t”.Oh, I *so* love Jim for going on his vacation anyway! Great move!
10 Great way to wrap it up, really! I love that Jim just charms the lady and takes control of the situation - cause wow that was SO awkward! Love that the lady was a "Jenny" - I'll take that as a shout out ;) Hee! Can't wait to see what you are working on next!
Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! Glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your taking time to read and review!
You've drawn me and I can't look away...
Author's Response: good! that was my evil plan.
Phyllis Lapin Vance seems on the surface to be the friendly, slightly-maternal face of the office. But Pam's been around long enough to know a little better than that. Pam knows who her friends really are, and Phyllis certainly isn't on that list......
Oh, I'm liking this! Great jump to the future and I really like that Pam is holding on to something like that. Mostly cause I kinda do the same thing with some people. *blushes*
LOVE THIS! I love Drunk!Jim and I hope we get to see something like this soon :) Great job!
Oh, this is so tragic already, but I can't look away. Ready for an update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! Expect an update sometime tonight!
This just makes me heart hurt. My aunt and uncle had a stillborn baby, Adam, when I was 8 and even though we love my other cousins, you can tell they still miss him every day. Just excellent work with the utter sadness.
Oh, this is so heartbreaking and so real. Excellent work!
Without revealing too much about myself in this anonymous (and yet not) forum, I can TOTALLY relate to Pam - and unfortunately, my last boyfriend was no Jim Halpert. Sigh.
Wait, a review of this story is what this is for - not a confessional. Right. EXCELLENT work. And I'm ready for Pam's "different plans" now :)
Author's Response: Aw, Jenn . . . who CAN\'T relate to Pam ;-) Seriously. And unfortunately for ALL of us, there are not a lot of Jim\'s out there on a quest for chocolate cake for us. They want their cake and to eat it too . . . wait. TWSS? I don\'t know... anyway, thanks for your review!
Aww, that was sweet! Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, jenn, for reading. Hope my little dessert fic hit the spot!
Oh, this is totally fab! Just love it :) Especially the "babe" part at the end ;)
I love when I see a new story by you on the "recent" page. Great job - steamy hot and super fab! Can't wait to see what's next ;)
Author's Response: Thanks, Jenn! I love when I see your reviews!
I liked this and I do hope you continue. It might be kinda neat if Jim's college sexcapades either gave Pam some ideas/incentive for the future, or just really turned her on. Maybe I'm on a smut kick, but I reread a similiar story last night and it was very cool.
Author's Response: Who isn\'t on a smut kick? ;-) Thanks so much for your review, Jenn!
NOW COMPLETE!!!
"Jim, why don't you tell Pam how you really feel?"
Jim and Pam deal with the stuff that comes with being on a hit show...talk shows, radio call-ins, and press junkets. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but is that really the case? Watch as Jim and Pam deal with being in the public eye and under the thumb of manipulative network producers. The story is told through interviews, transcripts, web pages and photos.
Wow, this was hardcore! Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response:
Thanks for your review. I hope the next few chapters don’t disappoint!
Wow, great return of this fic! Glad to see it updated :)
Love this! My favorite part: "I don't think I understand your question...I....Yeah...Pam, I wouldn't have asked you to marry me if I wasn't actually ready to get married."
Classic Jim and just the perfect thing to get through to Pam! Great job!
