I absolutely loved this story. The inner monologues of both Jim and Pam are pitch perfect. Great job!
Sometimes art captures life. Sometimes life imitates art. And sometimes that line between art and life becomes a little blurry.

I have read this series many times and thought it was about time I left a review. This is so creative and beautiful. You evoke some very powerful emotions with your writing. I love all the imagery. You give the reader a way to picture Pam's soul and that is incredible. Nicely done!
A glimpse into the instant messaging history of Jim and Pam. Written with the intention of expanding on what we see on the show, as well as to tie up some loose ends. There will be a conversation for each episode through Season 3.

I love how your use of "don't forget me when you're famous." What a beautiful tie in to The Job.
Date: August 15, 2007 Title: Chapter 13: The Fight
i just read the whole series and it's amazing. You really capture the playful nature and emotional undertones of Pam. They excel at saying so much with few words and so do you! Keep the chapters coming!
Author's Response: You don't know what this means coming from the JAM psychological expert :) Thank you.
Date: September 02, 2007 Title: Chapter 22: Boys and Girls
I'm so glad you keep adding to this series. It is one of my favorite. You do a great job of keeping each conversation realistic and sweet. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response:
Thank you very much, but dont be afraid to tell me if it ever gets unrealistic . . .
I'm happy my stories has fans :-)
Date: September 11, 2007 Title: Chapter 36: Branch Closing
I really like what you did with Jim in this chapter. It's very realistic and fits in with his behavior in The Merger. Great Job!
Author's Response: Ah, thank you, I feel validated :-)

This is fabulous, Beeswax! You're going to continue this, right?? :-)
Author's Response: Oh yes. I couldn't leave you hanging like that. That would be like having Jim say to Pam "It's a date" and then not saying anything about it for 4 months ;-)
Date: September 04, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Duct Tape and Dreams
I love this story Bees! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the wedding? Is anyone going to find out??
Author's Response:
Oh, you'll just have to wait and see. I want to write this story up until the season 4 premiere and I can usually get a chapter a week done, so look forward to 2-3 chapters more.
Thanks for the review!
Date: September 14, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: So...I have something for you
Awwww. I love how Jim is making the past a happy place that doesn't have to hurt for either one of them. Nice Job!
Author's Response:
Yes. Jim is trying to make his world a happy place filled with happy thoughts.
Thanks for reading, sb!

Hey Bee! What a fittin gend to a great story! The wedding made me cry. I felt like I was there! It so sweet you used the vows from your wedding. They are beautiful! You're going to write more fanfic, right?
Author's Response:
Thanks so much sb. I've got another crier! I love it!
I may dabble again in fanfic one day. Maybe I'll be inspired by the new eps!
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Maybe she moved to fast.

It's interesting to see something from Karen's perspective. I'm curious to see where you're going to take this!
Author's Response: If you think about it, her following him was very impulsive. This is just my figuring what she would think in the day in and day out of it all.
What Pam's really thinking when she stares at Jim's old desk.

Very nice! I could almost hear Pam's heart pounding while I read this. I'm sure Pam had thoughts such as these on more than one occassion while Jim was in Stamford. Ryan probably thinks Michael isn't the only one with a crush on him!

I really love this story. I've been following since the very beginning and I can't wait to see how it ends. What a great idea to use fans as a way to develop Jim and Pam's relationship! Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, scrantonbranch. I hope you'll hang on to the end!
What if Jim chose the other path?
It's angsty, but hold on until the end.

Good story RA! You're doing a great job portraying a brooding and despondent Jim. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks, SB! I hope you will stay with this story, and I really appreciate you reading and reviewing!
Jim is feeling insecure and could use a little reassurance from Pam.
A oneshot in two parts.

You did a fabulous job characterizing Jim's many insecurities with both himself and his relationship with Pam. I hope you'll consider extending this story. There are so many directions you could take both Jim and Pam with the new level of honesty you've created between them. Like Becky215, I was hoping season 4 would further explore the changing dynamic between FNB and Jim. We'll have to live vicariously through your story!
Thanks so much for reading The Jim Paradox! :-) The shout out is appreciated!
Author's Response: no, YOU have done an amazing job characterizing Jim\'s many insecurities and reading your in depth analysis of both he and Pam is just, like ... wow. I mean, damn. I never would have looked that deep into it if it weren\'t for you, and now I can\'t help myself! haha. I really was hoping Season 4 would explore these issues further as well, all the bumps and bruises of forging a new relationship with so many high expectations already set. Alas, that is what fanfic must be for in this day of greedy studio heads. \r\n\r\nAnyway, thanks so much for reading and reviewing, it means so much!

This chapter is just so beautifully written. Your words literally pulled at my heartstrings. I almost cried. Thanks for posting such a great story. It made my day today. :-)
Author's Response:
Oh wow...really? That makes me feel very good. (Well, not that I almost made you cry, but...you know what I'm saying.) :o)
Thanks so much for taking the time to review!
Date: March 10, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Beautifully written. I've really enjoyed the last few chapters. I think you're doing a great job portraying how Jim and Pam would actually behave in the situation you've created. I especially like how you showed Jim trying to control a temper he isn't accustomed to losing. you also gave Pam a very realistic reaction as well when she says, "This isn't me." I've always pictured her thinking that on Casino Night following the kiss. I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter. :-)
Author's Response:
Thank you! It's always great to hear that a reader finds something true to the characters, particularly when they're in a situation we've never really seen them in on the show. (Even though we saw a confession & a kiss, we didn't get to see the immediate aftermath, how they both dealt with it...damn it! I'm not bitter.) :o)
And I mentioned it in an earlier review response, but yes, I always enjoy writing Jim when he's pushed a little too far; I loved the glimpse of his temper we saw in "Boys and Girls." Sigh.
Thanks so much for reviewing!
Date: March 20, 2008 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Wow. I really like how you wrote Roy. He is an oaf, but also very human. Nicely done! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next chapter.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like the way I wrote him, scrantonbranch. I usually write a much more sympathetic Roy, but here he was more on the periphery of the action (or at least, moreso than in other stories I've written). Thanks so much for reviewing!

Awww! How cute! I really like how you described Jim's mannerisms. They are so him and so well written. Can't wait to see what else you have hiding up your sleeve.
Author's Response:
Awww...thanks sb. I've got lots of things up my sleeves, so I hope to see you back for more.
Thanks for reading and reviewing my friend!

Author's Response: Thanks, I have several of these mostly written but I might try to hold off on posting them until I get something posted in my other ongoing fics, maybe that will finally give me motivation XD.
