Role Reversal Challenge: It's May 2006. Jim's wedding is approaching and a lovelorn Pam can't take much more. Starts during Casino Night (or an AU version of it).
i just wanted you to know that i am completely in love with this story. I am praying for an update soon!!
"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."
Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.
ok so first off I just wanted to let you know that this is my first review...ever. I've been reading stories here for a while but never joined the site. I've been tempted to join before but not until i read this last chapter did I do it.
I absolutely love this story. I know it's a more dark one, but I like how you've taken these characters from a show and made it into it's own story. i know that doesn't really make sense. What I'm trying to say is that even though i love the office, i like how you can make the story different from the show. It's almost as if you don't even need to know the back story of the show to be interested in your story.
so basically after saying all of that, I just want to say great job! I look forward to more updates.
Basically I love this story. I'm not gonna lie, I've never watched the X-files but this is tempting me to give it a shot. i hope you keep those updates coming because i'm loving the story!
Author's Response: yay thank you!! And yes give the X-files a shot (especially like seasons 4-7) It's pretty entertaining stuff. I'll try to keep the updates comping.
A look at what might have happened between The Job and 'round about Money. Lots of steam in the beginning, then some angst for good measure.I am completely in love with this chapter. I don't think I have ever read something that so accurately describes why Pam acted the way she did. It was just completely perfect... and I'm not gonna lie I got a little choked up reading it. Great job!
so I laughed really hard at this. The entire thing was spot on for so many soap opera type shows, but the characterizations (for the most part) were still true to the office
Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted to keep the talking heads and tone while making the storylines absurd, and it's harder than I thought it would be (yeah, I know, that's what she said).
Is there life and love after Jam?I'm usually pretty hesitant about reading stories where Jim and Pam aren't together. Now I don't get me wrong, I like some angst in the stories I read but usually tied up with a happy ending.
However, I have read most of your stories and know that you are a fantastic writer. I knew that you could write a story that has heartbreak of Jim and Pam not working out and still leave the readers wanting more of Jim and Emily! You sucked me in and now I can't wait to read more about their developing relationship. I think I'm more excited about that then the downfall of Jim and Pam.
Also my favorite line so far: I work with people who are smart and funny (in a completely different way than Michael was funny) and who enjoy their jobs (in a completely different way than Dwight did)
so basically what I am saying is I love it!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Klee. I\'m glad that Jim and Emily are appealing as a couple -- I was so worried! So happy that you\'re enjoying it, and thanks for reading and reviewing!
