In the words of Jim Halpert: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, woman.  Tell me again why you don't write and post it more often?  Because this is just perfect.

Author's Response:

I don't write and post more often because writing for me is like squeezing frozen toothpaste out of a too-small hole: slow and laborious.

Glad you liked it!

I thought I'd reviewed this earlier, but somehow I didn't.  So let me say that this is amazing - so subtle. Add me to the list that found Jim covering his mic a little breathtaking. On to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks!

Oh for the days of the sexual tension between these two.  I'm convinced we'll see it again very soon, but man, you have captured the season two tension here just beautifully.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I miss it, too.

Love the way you set up Email Surveillance at the end there, and his question about her needing help with the chips made me laugh out loud, as did the old man tie collection mention.  And this? It feels weird, because even though they’re best friends, it occurs to her this is only the second time she’s ever seen his bare arms.

That's the kind of subtle detail that just makes it all click.



Author's Response:

Thanks!

God, the last paragraph made me just smile so big.  (Actually, I'm still sitting here grinning like a big idiot.) You've nailed their banter (TWSS!) and your attention to detail is just amazing.

Author's Response: I knew watching the show obsessively would come in handy some day! Hurrah!

Okay, again with the big silly grin.  Him sweeping her into his arms shocked me right out of my seat! I love this - and yes, this is what we should see on the show.  I could watch weeks and weeks of this....

Author's Response: So could I. Your big silly grin makes me so happy.

Sigh.  Love it - the sexiness, even the brevity of the glimpse.  The sweetness of this story totally makes up for your author's note, which I found to be the meanest author's note ever.  ;o)

Author's Response:

Uh... huh? Mean? Sorry! I don't get it... *shrugs hopelessly*

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Just to clarify the comment about the author's note (because I was kidding - totally kidding /Pam): "Last chapter... for real this time."That's what I found mean in a purely selfish way - I want you to keep writing because I'm loving this!

Author's Response:

Oh! I knew you were kidding, but I wasn't sure what about. Who knows? Language Barrier was supposed to be the end, too. Feel free to prompt ;)

This is amazing, mixedberries!  You've done one of the hardest things to pull off: capturing so many different voices just spot on.  I could really see so much of this happening as I read it; it really was a lot like watching an episode.  I can't wait until you continue this!

Summary:

I really have no idea what this is about. ;-)

It's a light bit of Karen/Pam slash with a twist, mixed in with the spirit of Christmas..

Bonus points to you if you figure out what the hell the title means. ;-)

Cough.  So yeah, this works, I'd say - given what I suspect it is from your title. ;o) Love your attention to detail here, as always.  (BTW, I've been saving finishing Distance Learning and Eyegypt's Daze & Confused for when I can sit down and read them all at once!)

Nice work here - very erotic.

Oh my.  Love the way this starts - as colette said, you do have a way with Jim taking matters into his own hands.  Mm.  And the roof...ah, the roof.  Love the dialogue, love Drunk!Karen proclaiming Pam's greatness (and poor Jim - after his dream....?!?  Must've been torture for him [/Michael].  And this: A punch bowl of spiked eggnog had already been seriously tasted, and Kelly was singing You Light Up My Life to Ryan, who looked like he was trying to find a way to hide inside the cheese crescent roll he was eating.

....I snort-laughed, just like Michael.  :o)

Great work, moxie, as usual!

WOW.  Amazing - just amazing.  Because the thing is, while this is definitely just powerful and dramatic and - GUH - it's not over the top.  And while these two (especially Pam) are more reticent on the show, I find this completely believable; it's your choice of dialogue, what you show us inside their heads that makes it work.  Good lord, what I would not give if Greg Daniels would steal this from you and use it on the show!

Oh, and this? "

He shakes his head, with a tiny smirk on his face. "Don’t be sorry, Pam. Apparently the fancy new apartment comes with a fancy new pair of balls, too."

Made me laugh out loud.  Amazing work!



Author's Response: Thank you so much, girl7!  I so wish there would be a scene on the show where they really just yell at each other and get it all out.  So it makes me happy that you thought it was believable!

Date: December 07, 2006 Title: Chapter 1: Twelve: Drummers Drumming

Okay, so I started reading this with a stupid, enormous grin on my face that slowly, slowly started to fade. I wasn't looking in the mirror, but I can only imagine that my expression at the end of this was sort of open mouthed and wistful.  This was great - such a smooth, seamless progression from their fun banter to that quiet aching.  Your style here really captures the essence of what their relationship has started to (and will probably ever increasingly) become: still a source of that joy, but a slippery slope to regrets and just...longing.  Loved so many lines that I got frustrated in trying to narrow it down to one, but I went with this one: "As the words leave his lips, he realizes all at once this conversation isn’t about what’s new, but about what’s not."

Gah, so true.

Terrific job - and the best thing about it?  I'm assuming that because of the song, this will have eleven more chapters!  (If you tell me otherwise, you run the risk of ruining my Christmas - just know that.)  ;o) 



Author's Response:

Sorry to contribute to your slacking. :)  I know.  It's a roller coaster for sure. 

And c'mon now.  Jim's not fooling me with his "moving on" stuff.  I wanted to show that he's not fooling himself either.

And please.  I'm no Scrooge.  There are 11 more chapters my dear. :)

I'm just now getting a chance to catch up on this, and...guh.  I did not care for her stealing his chips and drinking his water - grrrr. (Was that mean? [/Pam])  Seriously, though, you've articulated the whole dynamic so well here - I love it that Jim and Pam found it exhausting just trying to have a conversation with Karen, who of course wouldn't get it - couldn't get it.  And "Iceland might just be the new Germany" is a classic line. :o)

Author's Response:

Thanks girl7!  I don't like it much either - but until they write her off the show or at least out of Jim's general vacinity (Dear Greg Daniels: What I want for Christmas this year is....) I'm going to have to deal with her. 

and LOL! re: Iceland.  It totally is.  You have no idea. ;)

Date: December 19, 2006 Title: Chapter 3: Ten: Lords a Leaping

First, I have to say that I let out a bark of laughter when I read the, "I told Pam I'm in love with her and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt."  Too funny!  The exchange you've written here with Jim and Roy reminded me so much of the feel of the show - I was squirming, almost leaning away from the laptop because I was afraid Roy was going to say something to make Jim just blurt it all out.  I also like that you've written such a sympathetic Roy here - truly clueless, so much so that it's tragic.  I knew I'd love this!

Author's Response:

See - next time they talk?  He's not going to be quite so sympathetic. ;)  I'm glad you're liking the story so far.

Stay tuned!

Date: December 19, 2006 Title: Chapter 4: Nine: Ladies Dancing

Oh wow, that was painful - so well done.  So, so sad to read how they're both struggling to forget the past, forcing themselves to move on, acting like absolutely nothing is going on.  This is so perfectly them.

Author's Response: I know.  Ouch right?  Things look up when we get to the chapters "for the birds." ;)  Keep reading.

Reviewer: girl7 Signed 10
Date: December 29, 2006 Title: Chapter 10: Three: French Hens

Oh wow, hugs.... Got a full on squee going here!  First of all, their fight at the beginning was so disheartening yet so freaking realistic; of course he'd be frustrated, scared, full of doubts.  I was just so, so, so glad that you made it okay.  (And I was deeply ashamed of myself for questioning the fact that I can always count on you to deliver a happy ending - ahem.) 

As usual, you've got their dialogue down; you manage to unfailingly capture their dynamic - the sweetness, the playfulness, the sexiness.  God.  Love the steam here - while I'm a fan of smut (hee), there's definitely something to be said for subtlety, for leaving some things to the imagination.  And Jim's last line?  Gulp. 

Next chapter....



Author's Response:

Of course I'd make it OK...silly girl7.  I figure that even after they get their shit together - "the course of true love never did run smooth". ;)

And thanks for all your kind words re: character.  Those types of observations mean the world to me.  Stay tuned for a little more steam in the last chapter...then when that's done I'm off to finish up my present for Shan. :)  Wish me luck!

Date: December 29, 2006 Title: Chapter 11: Two: Turtle Doves

Okay, this was awesome as usual, but I'm a bit freaked out.  First, my husband and I have a running joke about my using the word "outfit" to reference his clothes (swear to god, Jim Halpert/you quoted him directly: "Men don't wear 'outfits.'")  Then you did it again with the whole telling her to go first so he could watch her leave - perhaps TMI, but Mr. Girl7 did that to me like, two days after I realized I had a big crush on him.  (Though he was being a smartass, having opened the door for me, gesturing and saying, "After you," to which I suspiciously asked, "Why?"  ...And he blinked, then said - much like Jim - "So I can watch you go.  Men do that, you know.")  Heh. 

Anyway....

I love the way you've written Karen here - so self-possessed, no matter how sad.  And I also particularly love it that, while Jim and Pam obviously are struggling with the guilt, they're not letting it interfere with the happiness that they so deserve.

And man, you totally have mastered the simmering tension between these two.  Wow.  If I had some dirt on Greg Daniels, I'd totally use it to blackmail him into making you the writer for these two...



Author's Response:

HA!  girl7 I promise I'm not stalking you and your hubby.  I have no excuse for the "outfits" comment - but lisahoo is responsible for the "watch you go..."  She mentioned that in her review for Calling Birds and I just turned it around in Turtle Doves.

Karen's awesome.  Just not for awesome for Jim. 

And hee!  Is it wrong that I love that my story makes you want to resort to a life of crime?  LOL!

Date: December 31, 2006 Title: Chapter 12: And a Partridge in a Pear Tree....

Ahhhh, xoxoxo, this chapter was - hands down - the best in the series.  (And that's saying a lot.) I love the way you illustrate Pam's complexities here - so many people, I think, try to either sorely overestimate her (look at FNB go!) or sadly underestimate her (FNB's still a passive sap!), when really neither of those descriptions does her justice.  You've nailed it here - captured her struggle with her past & the insecurities that stem from it, while at the same time really celebrating the way she's moving forward, being brave with Jim. 

And the smut....?  Whoa - very, very, very hot.  So good. [/Jim]

BTW: Heh heh, you slipped into a bit of forearm/wrist lust there, didn't you??  Loved that she was distracted by the way he checked his watch and especially loved your description of it.



Author's Response:

You're making me blush girl7!  I'm with you.  Pam's a walking contradiction and Jim (at least my version of him) totally gets that. 

Who me?  Wrist lust?  I have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

Okay, this?  This was just perfect - love the metaphor of the egg (and really, how much more spot on could you get?? Brilliant!).  I love it that you're providing such realistic reasons for what's happening right now - because I happen to be one of the few (apparently) who believes that the writers are taking things at a very realistic pace.

But I digress. :o)

Love it that this is a story from the future; it's hard to write their dynamic as a long married couple, harder still to write their interactions with kids without coming off sounding schmaltzy or trite, but you really pulled it off here beautifully.  And when I read the part about her just throwing out the "I love you," I felt this squee in my chest.  (Sorry, no other word for it!)  And I love Jim walking in and adding his little comments - a great touch!

Thanks for making me sit here smiling like an idiot!  You rock. ;o)



Author's Response: Thank you so much! You know I think you rock, so that's a great compliment. I'm all about the squee. I think these two have so much potential, but they have to get there in their own sweet time. Well, bittersweet time, maybe. :)

This is great - love it that she won't let herself cry (so like her to try to repress the tears, isn't it?), but then when he's there, she can't not let go - which is one of the reasons I think these two are ultimately meant to be.  I'd so love for something like this to happen on the show.  Any chance you could strong arm TPTB?  :o)

Great work!



Author's Response: Thanks so much for the detailed feedback!

Summary:

I was trying to think of what would finally set Pam and Jim back in motion and came up with the documentary airing. Basically the documentary they are watching is our Season 2, though doesn't end exactly as our Season 2 ended.

Oh my god, FNB, this is terrific!  First of all, I really like the whole watching-the-documentary approach, only it's particularly unique here because it's not so far in the distant future.  I can totally imagine Michael hosting viewing parties, and OMG - I was nervous for her about all that the camera caught being revealed!

Terrific work here - off to the next chapter...

Guh, the sadness here.  I like it that you've written Roy as a sympathetic character, because I think that's more realistic than a two-dimensional lug.  And I'm still totally enamored with how you're handling the whole documentary issue here - fascinating stuff, this.
