Jim/Pam Season 2 angst
I love that she started the convo knowing that he's immediately know who it was and that is was the continuation of their previous talk - very "them," makes me think of The Carpet vm (What's that word we made up...?). Anyway, I enjoyed it, well=written, wonderful language choices.
(Also, Geometry was my first C...how I hated that class!)
Thank you. That was sweet and wonderful and just exactly what I felt like reading. Also, I could, like totally hear Kelly's voice in the dialogue - it's just awesome! Seriously, I never feel confident writing her, so I have real respect for those who can.
Author's Response: Like, oh my god, you're so welcome! I think I was slightly hyper when I wrote it, so that helped. Glad you liked it!
More Jim and Pam and their adventures in raising baby Jill!
Ok, so I'm gonna let you in on exactly how I work the whole MTT thing. Throughout my work day, I sneak-check my e-mail to see if any favorites have been posted, and I look forward to reading them at home after work. When I finally check MTT at home, I take stock of all the newly posted stories and open them in the order I want to read them - more than slightly obsessive compulsive, I know. I always, always, save your stories for last because they make me so darn happy. I can't stop smiling the whole time - I absolutely love everything you write. And this series in particular I re-read whenever I need a pick-me-up.
Also - good call on America's Next Top Model - it's priceless.
What are you trying to do to me? I swear - the cuteness is too much...this series could be entitled "The Unbearable Cuteness of Being"...ok, lame, I know, but still, I have a point. And, you are wreaking havoc on my biological time piece!
I know I gush in every review and it's probably getting a little creepy and stalkery, but I can't help it. I love everything about this series (actually, I love all your work). Daddy Jim is almost too much to bear; Husband Jim is, well, delectable comes to mind. This family unit is perfection. (/gushing)
OK, truth time - my initial reaction to the synopsis was a mental groan because it's really hard to do babyfic without going super-sappy and OOC, but...you accomplished. The banter is wonderful; love the humor and LOLed a couple of times.
The avoidance at the beginning is spot-on; love the whole exchange about "making a baby"; I laughed so hard at Pam's "We're going to hell" and naming the baby Schrute. I could go on, but this review would be freakishly long. Essentially, the characterizations are great; the dialogue is wonderful; love the humor.
To my mind, the most "in character" moment is Michael still being at the hospital. He absolutely would, and he would totally drop a Chili's compliment.
A series of related drabbles that begin prior to The Merger and continue on from there.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!
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. ;-)
I just have to tell you that this makes me happy. I adore that you have her laying it on the line and telling him she'll wait - just great.
I honestly don't see how you do it. Each and every thing that you write is stunning. The prose is gorgeous, and each word is perfect....just breath-taking.
I just thought you should know I've read this about a dozen times - it's beatiful, like all your work, but if a I read a story into double-digits, it deserves singling out for review - the words, the setting, the characterizations - all gorgeous, all amazing. I don't know how you do it. Thanks for the work.
I am really enjoying this. For some reason AU Jam really intrigues me. I love the period details and the characterizations - they seem spot-on to me. Pam's hesitation to behave in a way that makes her appear immoral is true to the setting. I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to reading more.
I am SO happy to see you continuing this. I just love the setting and the story and the characterizations and the details. And I think I want her dress. ...and, umm...."Mr. Halpert" indeed! Yes, I can agree with Nomad's assessment.
I cannot express how happy I am every time I receive an e-mail stating there is a new chapter to this story. I love the setting and the details. I love how you manage to create atmosphere with so few words. I love their relationship, and I am always surprised at how much tension is created by their entirely appropriate relationship. Just wonderful.
A series of drabbles, set after Back From Vacation (with some slight spoilers) and deviating from there. Pam makes Jim face the same difficult decision (and consequences) that she had to deal with.
Each drabble is 100 words according to MS Word, so if the summary says otherwise...it's lying. :0)
I've been extremely evil and rude and must apologize. I've been gobbling this up as fast as you can crank it out, and I haven't reviewed. I'm very sorry. This is wonderful. You are managing to tell an incredibly in=depth and emotional story on a diet of words, and I can't tell you how I admire that. Thank you for the work this has taken; it's really wonderful.
The idea that he fell so hard for her because she was unattainable rings loudly true to me...soul-mates or not, it's always more tempting when you're not supposed to have it. The fact that you managed to tell it in so few words makes this an excercise in wonderful writing. That the few words you chose are perfect and beautifully phrased makes it art. This is really a lovely piece.
I want to quote you some lines, but I must keep myself from pasting the entire story into the review. This: "The sky was blue and the grass was green. Paper was a dead end job and Dwight was a moron. You were in love with her and she was in love with you. Unspoken, but accepted by all." Brilliantly summed up and true! And this: "The world rights itself and you're standing on the ground for the first time in months." Man I can't wait for that moment! When it all makes sense again. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more things from you.
You're gonna make me cry. That was the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my writing. Wow. Thank you.
Honestly, this story is actually really personal for me and it's so great to know that it touched you. Just, wow. Thank you so much!
Written in response to the Evening Coming (aka the Scarf) challenge. Not usually one for prompts, but this one got me thinking.
I decided to reread an old favorite tonight. One of my favorite things about your writing is that it bears rereading well. This is still as beautiful as the first time I read it, and your story structure is wonderfully subtle, but powerful. Comparisons of wool and stubble; that she takes what she can in thinking that his mouth may have grazed the scarf - being kissed via inanimate third party, that stabs my heart every time.
Really, just lovely
Umm...I really didn't expect to get into this story. I read the premise and thought "huh?"...BUT, I really like it, I mean really. I love how you have Pam owning her sexuality, but still retaining "Pam" characteristics. And Jim (oh Jim) is still so him. (just a tiny bit reminiscent of Don Quixote and Dulcinea).
Love it - can't wait for more.
Ok, I've read this far and am hooked! I really like that the characterization feels true to character even in such an AU situation. Can't wait for the next part!
Great immagery - her faith slowly slipping away in the waves - love it
I know I said this already, but I love the way you are blending the plot elements of Lost. Also, characterization is spot on - Michael making it a party; Angela feeling relieved, annoyed and guilty simultaneously; Poor Sweet Jim (which is how I always refer to him in my head) Enormous Love for this fic
Funniest line ever? - “Well I guess you’ll have to write a letter of complaint… and send it to 1991.” I laughed for almost a minute over that one. Also, I was going to have to get harsh with you for the snarky Duchovny comment, but you saved it at the end. ;) Poor Jim, doomed to repeat history...I think there was a Star Trek NG episode about that...
Jim's basketball game with the C.F.O. (not his actual initials) gets interrupted with news from what happened at Poor Richard's; he reacts accordingly.
Your stuff delivers the best emotion - every time! I go in knowing that there will be the catharsis that we all need. And - "Yes" wow, just wow. Love it!
Author's Response:
Wow, Geinnob, knowing that my stuff is cathartic is really, really validating. (I'm convinced that good old Aristotle was on to something....)
Thanks again for reviewing!
The aftermath of Cocktails (NOT part of my AU universe).
I owe you a MASSIVE apology. I read everything you write - usually multiple times - and let out an embarrassing happy noise whenever I get a "LoveFool has a new story" e-mail, but I never review. So, please accept this as an apology. Your stories make me happy, and are wonderful on many levels.
"He thinks he’d aim for the mouth first, because that’s the body part that’s causing Pam pain, but targeting Roy’s hand is sure to inflict the most pain on Roy, so it’s really a toss up at the moment."
sigh...I love Jim...and that was just so perfect coming from him. (Honestly, I haven't even finished the story yet - I just had to comment on that.)
“It’s just not good etiquette” Dear heavens, I LOVE your Jim - he's awesome. My anticipation for the next chapter knows no bounds - which is not to minimize the spectacularness of this and the preceding chapters. (It bugs me when I've worked hard on something and the only response I get is "yeah, that was great - give me more.")
I could literally feel the rising tension in this chapter - beautifully done. Also - plastic replica Pam and "He left his brother on my car." Brilliant!
The beginning of Dwight and Jim's relationship, from their very first sales call together up to their latest. Spoilers through Traveling Salesmen.
I am so glad that someone wrote this. I've been intrigued with their enmity since the beginning, and then that spectacular client scene in Traveling Salesman made me want to read something about them even more. This was great - thanks for the obvious time and hard work.
I am in love with Ryan/Kelly fic where he has to grovel for being an idiot. This one is no exception - very funny, and I love the visual of Ryan slurping a blue slushy while ineptly stalking...OH! and that Kelly's talking makes the whole thing easier - just wonderful.
