This was just absolutely beautiful. I love Jim to be a little jealous. Plus the way you did the proposal like that was the kind of romantic stuff i love.

Author's Response: SlightlyJealous!Jim is hot and believable, I think. He's gone through so much to get Pam and he knows what it's like to want her. He can probably spot that from very far away. I'm glad you found it romantic, I always thought that Jim's proposal would be more spontaneous. I don't think he's a very good planner ;)

This is actually very good, and cute. I really enjoyed reading it and to be honest i had a few hand over mouth moments when reading.

Can't wait for chapter 2. 



Author's Response: I'm kinda hoping that your hand was over your mouth to stop you from giggling, not because my writing made you ill.  Will put up ch 2 as soon as I can.  Thanks for reviewing!

Summary: Pam and Jim, in an effort to squalch boredom, play the childhood game of 20 Questions, with a twist. When the questions get more personal, will they cave under the pressure to keep their true feelings hidden, or will they let it all out respecting the rules of the game?

I have been reading this since you first posted and it is one of the most entertaining things i have read. The banter back and forth is just brilliant and the emotional stuff is so Jim and Pam. 

My favourite thing about all the chapters is the subject lines from each email. they are v. amusing. 



Author's Response:

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that.

The subject lines. Oh, they're strange!!!

I was so happy when I saw a new chapter up. I had almost forgotten about this story, but i was hoping that I would get  new one soon. I still enjoy all the crazy subject lines.

My favourite part of the the story was: "PS. I would change dentists for you too." 



Author's Response:

Thanks!! I really should start updating it more often, I just forget. Silly me.

Cuteness!

I just noticed this sentence. 

I licked his lips and kept my eyes on the road as I backed out of the driveway.

I think you meant to write I licked MY lips. or HE licked his lips. 

Other than that this was great and the rest of the story was fantastic too.

i started reading this because of the title (i completely agree that Head over Feet is a totally Jam song)

But this was just great. I enjoyed the Jealous New Beesly. 



Author's Response: I know! All I can think about when I hear Head Over Feet is Jim and Pam... and then I get very happy.\r\nThank you for reading! I like Jealous New Beesly too, I giggle at myself when I say it out loud =P

That ending was just so adorable. I first read this when it was incomplete and I was like he is going to propose because Michael had some words of wisdom for him that would convince him to do that, but this ending had me giggling because it is just so different.

Great Job. 



Author's Response: awhh ! thank you ! i was worried that people might not like it... but i have some more ideas up my sleeve. ;)

Great story. I feel really bad for Jim in some respects his luck with the ladies is just bad.

But you do make him seem just like a regular guy. Not some douche bag or sissy, just a guy who goes through life and sometimes makes mistakes.

The last chapter saying the wrong name was brilliant. It happened to me (I was the 'Jim' in the situation).

Can't wait for more 

Summary: Michael has a "family building" event at a local bar. Pam lets loose, Jim loses it.

If this is continued i will be there to enjoy every chapter. But if you do continue I think it will have to still be the same night... and a little more drinking.

I really enjoyed this story, you are an excellent writer. 



Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words PokerChips! I have to admit I\'m feeling a Pam-like blush at your incredible compliment. Thank you! Also, I think I will continue, though I still have to figure out where the heck I\'m going with it...more drinking is quite a distinct possibility... Thanks again for reading and reviewing!!

OK i like where you went with Pam going back into the bar and that guy still being there. I think it was also sweet that you had him ask for her her number. I just want to know who you had in mind for the guy (I mean looks wise)

I can't wait for more... and to read Jim's side of the story. 



Author's Response: Thanks for your review PokerChips! I slapped my hand to my head when I read your comment about not describing the guys looks...duh, should have done that...look for that in future chapters...my apologies! Jim\'s side of the story is coming next, so stay tuned! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

I'm sorry.  Gotta leave you hanging for a little while.  We are on vacation ... in HAWAII ... and our computer has crapped out.  I'm at an internet cafe for a few minutes now but can't update till some time next week.

Thanks for the nice comments.  Pam will be the hero here!

I was a little confused at the begging at to who this could be, but by the end i figured it out (I think). The New York Times book makes me think Stanley.

I really enjoyed this. It kind of give some insight into a character who we don't really get to see more of. I can't wait for the next one. 



Author's Response: yeah see?? I'm tricky ;-) lol no seriously though the beginning was supposed to be kind of questionable.  Glad you like the puzzle idea, and glad this one stumped you at first cause otherwise where's the fun??  Thanks for reviewing!!

Reviewer: PokerChips Signed
Date: January 30, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: Opus 3

this was very dark but it is also true of what the character would be feeling. it is Karen. the whole line about following someone made me think of her.

These are all beautifully written and you seem to have an interesting grasp on these characters. I can't wait to see what you do for the others.

Oh and at the end are you write a list about who each opus is about? 



Author's Response: thank you so much, I'm not sure who'll I'll write next, but it should be interesting ;-)  Also, great idea...I think I might just do that.

This story looks like it is going to be very good, intersting and heartbreaking I can't wait for more 



Author's Response:

Oh, I'm so sorry to take so long to update! I was hoping to have it up before Christmas, but I live in Oklahoma, and my part of town was a main part of the big ice storm. I didn't have power for 10 days, and I just got my internet recently. I also was finishing up a play which was EXHAUSTING. Then there was Christmas and New Years. I finally had time to work on it. I hope you will enjoy it! [:

First off I would like to thank you for the Dundie.
You deserve one too because I have read everything that you have written and I love it all.

Ok so this story is just getting better and better... even though it is more angsty.
This was just so sad at the end how could Pam say that.  Oh I  can't wait for what is coming next. Is it going to be a big confrontation with Roy? Why do you leave me hanging.

This was an amazing chapter to the story. I love the slightly fluffy beginning, but then you broke my heart. I need more.  



Author's Response:

OH my GOSH, could you be any sweeter? You are truly amazing and I'm so lucky to have YOU be a frequent reader! YOUR reviews make me smile! 

Thank you so much! (Insert a gazillion more "thank you so much's" here.)

Ok this really scared me how violent Roy was. It was so well written that I could actually see the image of what Roy was doing in my head.

This was great. Please update soon. And tell me the "angel" is Jim because he heard what was going on over the phone because Pam never hung up after she dialed. 



Author's Response:

Oh, that's so good to hear! I'm very glad it worked out that way! I was a little scared to post it, but I'm glad you find it well written!

I was so excited when I saw that this story had been updated. The beginning pf the chapter with all the explanation about how Jim heard everything was good.

The convo with Dwight was perfect. I could so see Dwight asking those questions and then getting suspicious about Jim burning down Pam's house. 

The end was beautiful and I can't wait for another chapter.
