Summary: Past Featured Story

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).

I've followed this from day one, and let me say it has never been slow. The ups and downs were so entertaining to read ans the sexual tension throughout the entire thing made it really interesting! Great work!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it all the way through -- it was rough at times, I know; I tend to really heap on the angst before I serve up a happy ending.  :o)  Thanks so much for your review!

 even this thing has been AU from the very beggining, for me this chapter is where it gets really Alternate. Maybe it is because I have never been in this particular situation, but what she seems to be doing is sort of the height of cruelty. Stringing him along only to deny it later. And not just with alliances and yogurt lids any more. Really stringing him along. But of course, this exquisite type of torture and back and forth is what makes your fics REALLY good. So, keep going, and I will keep squeeling every time its on the Most Recent List.

Summary: Ryan and Jim are both at something of a crossroads after the events of The Job. They examine each other's lives, and gain some perspectives on their own lives at the same time.

as I was reading the end of your story I had an epiphany. Becca Lavender doesn't know how much I like her story! And so here it is: it is awesome (very kevin-esque comment I know) and I can't wait for the next chapters

 



Author's Response: Aw, thanks. I\'m really happy to hear you like it!

I really can't wait to read the rest of this!

And hey, don't forget, tomorrow morning, the WYDM family gets a little bigger with the introduction of Jim Halpert in the Morning! Wake up to Jim every morning, from 6-10, and start your day the right way!

This is where I make a joke about how I would love to wake up to Jim every morning, but I'm too tired to manage anykind of double speak or puns.

Author's Response: I threw that in there because, well, who WOULDN'T want to wake up to Jim in the morning?  The breakfast of champions, he is.  Thanks for reading!

I am ridiculously excited for whatever comes next. "Im not one to judge, but" is perfectly scary Angela. And maybe I've read too much "Girly Girl Truth Or Dare" but Meredith VS. Angela always makes me laugh! Alyssa

 



Author's Response: Haha, thanks, I'd thought it'd be fun to put those two in close proximity.  Thanks for reading!

I. Am. So. Excited.  I loved the first Paper Cut (the ending was great!) and now that we have a sequel I can start to suspect Karen again like I wanted to all along. Never mind that she had no motives, I still thought she killed Roy.

Anyway, I can't wait to see who dun it this time,

That was beautiful. Both of them. By far my favorite "Jim breaking up with Karen" speech I've read, maybe because it was a little bit more sensitive and less "I have to write this scene to get the the first date chapter" and I have a soft spot for Karen fics despite my dislike for her initially.

Author's Response: thank you! i like karen a lot too (although do i like her more, now that she\'s kind of out of the picture).

Sometimes (only sometimes) I feel bad for Ryan. Not only does he have a man crush from Michael to deal with, but also the longing glances from both Jim and more recently Pam. Now, though, I guess the only person to stare at him longingly wishing for someone else is Hunter missing Jan (because I'm sure there is something going on there). Great fic! I really enjoyed it!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. (And I completely agree).

That song has always made me laugh for several reasons, but now i get to connect it to a stripping J. Halpert. So, yay! And your week is going to get un-rotten around thurday at 8, so that is something to look forward to, right?

Author's Response: Yes, The Office is my bright spot this week!  Ah, Thursday, come faster.  TWSS.  Oops.

The line about Pam deliberatly choosing the path  beside Jim's table made me smile. Pam is so often seen as a genlt quiet soul who wouldn't hurt anyone, it is refreshing to see someone liven her up a bit. Great little story (I find all versions of Karen interesting, now that The Job happened). So, this rocked!



Author's Response: I like reading stuff with Pam having that different facet too, because she just has much more to her. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

I liked the IM format (for the lazy reader who doesn't like to deal with adjectives and correct spellings), and the whole Jim-Finding-Out thing, because Comforting!Dwight was one  of my fav. dramatic moments of S3, and I think you did it justice.

Summary:

I got this idea from the JAM Therapy thread on the NBC boards.  A fellow board member brought up an article stating the 10 ways a woman can best compliment her man.  I am taking each one and implementing it into JAM.  Pretty simple, really. 

RC, this one goes out to you.  ;)  meow.

Spoilers thru S4 so far.

I don't own any of this.  Don't sue.

Is there anything NOT to love about this? Its got crazy Jan, Oscar-Kevin interaction (which ALWAYS makes me laugh), and Jim with one less item of clothing. I love little one shots like this. They make the day brighter.

So, I kind of enjoyed the cynical view of the jim/pam wedding (the wedding the documentary built). Don't get me wrong, I'm a die-hard Jim/Pam fan, but I guess I enjoyed a fresh look on things (which this entire story was, really.) Anyway, I really enjoyed it!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you like a different look. :)
