Is there life and love after Jam?
10 Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself. This was the perfect ending to an excellent story. You truly are a gifted writer. I'm glad you chose not to recap the reason for Pam's visit to Jim. All that matters is that Jim Halpert is happy and love is so much easier for him this second time. Thanks Wendolf for sharing your story here.
10 Yay! A new story from you! Looking forward to the backstory on how the Halpert brothers met Pam, especially how Roy "won" her over Jim. What, is she blind? :)
Author's Response: Cheeb!! I know, what is wrong with Pam!?!? But we will eventually get into that.
10 Yes! The Awesomeness that is Jim is making her crack! Go Jim! (Okay, I'll stop with the exclamation points.) Can't wait to hear Roy's excuse. Geez, even both sets of parents are aware of Roy's faults. That's sad. Keep 'em coming italianfood :)
Author's Response: Yeah, you can\'t deny Jim. You especially can\'t deny him once he starts trying harder either!

(Hi, this is deludez3 on AO3. w4A21qMoPh0Ezyj)
10 This is cute! Funny how even Pam's mom can't handle that hair! Also enjoyed your introduction chapter. Nice to hear we won't have to wait long for updates. Are you planning just the elementary years, or the teenage years too? I'll definitely follow along, either way.
Author's Response: I'm going K-12. I've pretty much re-worked the first 4-5 chapters, just need a teeny bit more tweaking, but haven't delved too far into the further chapters. I'm going to need to get on that aren't I? I'll probably add another chapter later today. I'm glad you'll be following along, hopefully I won't disappoint.
Jim comes home late at night...
Fluffy and spoiler-free. Just wishful thinking on my part!
10 Glad you let it out! The Halperts happily married with a little Halpert. And I'm picturing the little one with a mop of unruly brown hair. Thanks for writing it.
Author's Response: Thank YOU for reading and reviewing, Cheeb. Yes, I too picture a toddler with curly hair....*sigh**
A colorful look at the evolution of Pam and Jim's relationship.10 Very nice. Oh yeah, I'm sure Pam felt this way about kissing Jim at the Dundies. Love the description of weekend Jim. And this:
“Roy doesn’t like getting his truck scratched up with this stuff,” I explained. Jim didn’t say anything. He never did. Still, the look on his face made me feel weird. Defensive, ashamed, embarrassed.
So sad. But we saw it all too often in season 2. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks Cheeb! Yeah, I always figured she knew what she was doing at the Dundies. Thanks for reading! I\'m glad you liked it.
10 This was beautiful. I'm choosing to believe that this really happened after Toby's party. (At least until season 5 starts.) :) Truy enjoyed this.
When Jim can't be there when Pam needs him, he sends a little love through the mail.

10 Hey, how nice to see something new from you! Different is good. I loved this. I could see sweet Jim doing exactly this. I really loved the note he left in the "negative box." Glad you posted it. :)
Author's Response:
It makes me very happy to know my work was missed. It's tough to get back in that groove again, but I think I'm finding it so hopefully you'll be seeing new and different from me more often.
Thank you so much for the kind words :o)
10 Oh I can't tell you how happy this made me while reading it. I was smiling from beginning to end.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it, thanks for your review! I can relate to Pam here. :0)
"And it wasn't even a good beard." Pam isn't happy with Jim's new look
10 This was so cute! I had a smile on my face throughout. Great banter between the two and her inner struggle was hilarious!
Beering you strength to get through the stress and trouble the Hurricane has caused.
Pam struggles with doubt and suspicion when Jim's behavior over the summer doesn't make sense.10 Hands down, this is the best proposal fic I've read. Excellent! I could see our Jim doing just this. Lovely. Thanks for posting.
Author's Response: Whoa! Best proposal fic? I'm sure there are better ones, but I thank you for the kind words anyway. Thanks for your review!
10 This is just lovely. It's them.
10 This makes me so happy! And yes, yay for a new episode. I can't wait to see them living together and planning their wedding. :)
Author's Response: Hi Cheeb! Yes, I too am so excited to see where Jim and Pam go from here. I'm more excited about their wedding planning than I was for my own wedding ;) (kidding, sort of). Thanks for reading and for the kind words!
10 I absolutely adore Everybody Knows by Ryan Adams. It never even occurred to me until I re-listened to it now on my iPod how it totally fits the situation the three of them were in. I do believe Karen was in love with Jim. How else could she have put up with all she put up with? Glad that you've written a happy ending for her far, far away. :) Well done bashert.
9 I did! I did! I watched the WNTW marathon, well a lot of it anyway. And I thought of this story while watching. :) You've done a great job with Stacy, Clinton, Nick and Carmindy. I tell you, it's like I'm watching an actual episode! Looking forward to the big reveal.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I\'m really glad this reminds you of an actual episode (especially after watching a marathon of it!), because the writing process for this story is so different from anything else I\'ve attempted to write. The hair and makeup part was especially challenging, so I\'m so happy that you liked it!! Thanks again!!!
10 I think I'm going to like this. I love Stacy and Clinton. I hope Pam's not too upset when they ambush her. Something tells me Jim and Pam's relationship is going to get outed. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you!! I\'m glad you\'re excited for it! As for their relationship being outed, my lips are sealed, so you\'ll just have to wait and see! Thanks again!!
10 :) I feel like I'm watching an episode of What Not to Wear. So glad the Pilgrim shoes were brought up. God, they were hideous! No worries, your format is easy to follow and I am truly enjoying this.
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad the format is easy to follow. I figured anyone who\'s seen What Not To Wear would recognize the format, so it\'s great that you think it feels like a real episode. And yes, those shoes are a definite crime against fashion. :P Thanks again!!!
10 That was a great idea to add the photos! Believe it or not, Pam had much uglier shoes than what you've shown. Take a look at the shoes she wears in Safety Training. *shudders* I'm still loving this. You're doing a great job with it. I can't wait for Pam to meet Nick!
Author's Response: Thank you!! I know, her shoes near the end of season 3 were much worse, but sadly I couldn\'t find any good screencaps of them! The ones from Initiation are kind of similar though, so I had to settle with those. I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying this and are excited for more!!
10 Ha! Not only have you written the WNtW people perfectly, you've done a darn good job writing Kelly! Kelly was hilarious in your story. You should be so proud of this. It really turned out well and is unlike anything on this site. You know, lots of people on the boards miss the old Pam. Not me; I'm glad she's Fancy and New. Thanks for writing a great little fic about her transformation. It was really fun to follow.
Happy Holidays!
10 Thank you. My heart was just aching for Jim at the end of Customer Survey. This helps it a lot because I can just see this conversation really happening. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Cheeb. I\'m convinced there\'s nothing to worry about. I\'m also convinced they won\'t be nice enough to let us in on a conversation like this. Glad you liked it! :O)
10 Wow. You made me feel sad for Ryan. To me, you've nailed Kelly's feelings toward Ryan. I would love to see more interaction between the two of them this season, but until then, I have this to re-read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
10 Great chapter title. I did exactly that. You've written Michael and Dwight perfectly. I want Holly back! I loved this. Am adding to my favorites.
Author's Response: I was going to have a line from the song for each chapter, but that means actually writing more chapters! I want Holly back, too. I think she's one of the best things to happen to the show in a long time. Thanks so much, Cheeb!
77 The title says it all.10 This was hilarious. I'm so ashamed that I recognized that song right away. I love drunk Pam. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Author's Response: Don\'t be ashamed - I chose it! :) Glad you liked this; thanks for such a kind review! :)
Just a little something that the lighting in that last beautiful scene of Business Trip inspired. Some nice, flufftastic jaminess for you to munch on. ;-)

10 Aww, what a perfect comparison.
And this is too funny:
My friends wondered why I didn't just go down to the court and hang out. That friends, was like telling an alcoholic to come with you to the brewery -- just to watch and appreciate the process ...
I'm still smiling from reading.
Author's Response: Oh, glad I could make you smile Cheeb!!! and I'm happy you found the comparison a believable one!
10 Geez, take me back to S3 and tug at my heart why don't you. This really got to me. So glad that Christmas is different for them now. And Ryan Adams? His songs are like that aren't they? But I digress. This was just lovely and perfect and I'm adding it to my favorites. :) Merry Christmas to you too!
Author's Response: Thanks very much your lovely review! Yup there\'s something about Ryan Adams songs that just really gets to you, I suspect magic.
