Jim and Pam are Jim and Pam, only...not really.Stablergirl, I don't think I've ever read a fic that made me so angry at Pam. I hope Jim lets her have it when she goes to him to apologize. She is going to him to apologize right? Preferably at his house? I can't tell you enough how much I am enjoying this story.
This is the prettiest chapter of all the chapters. :) Okay, never mind my dumb Roy imitation. Seriously, this is my favorite chapter. Not that I haven't enjoyed the other chapters, but this one's perfect. It's about damn time Pam has come to her senses about her feelings for Jim. I love the way you've written Jim, but Pam has annoyed me now and again here. Thanks!
Author's Response: I agree, she has been a little annoying. But people are like that sometimes, so I guess it's true to life. I, too, am glad she's coming to her senses. She clearly has some issues to work through.
10 Each chapter just gets better and better. Did not think that was possible! I was smiling throughout this one. Loved the part about his autobiography. Cracked me up. Aw, Jim's in love and he doesn't know how to handle it. So cute. I really don't want this story to end. Okay? Okay.
Author's Response: okay. ;-) lol thank you! Glad this chapter made you laugh. hopefully you'll like the rest just as much.
She's right you know. He is. Loved this.
Author's Response: She is definitely right! Oh, Pam. Oh, Jim. I miss you!
Hmm. Interesting. Pam's suffered a miscarriage and Jim's not sounding too supportive. People do handle tragedies in strange ways though. Can't wait to see where you go with this. Am looking forward to more.
(Um, I have to say that I hope you haven't abandoned Chesterfields and Lace. It's such a good story and I'd love to see more chapters of it. Sorry, but I had to get that off my chest.)
Author's Response:
I know, unfortunately Jim is going to continue being a jerk for at least a few more chapters...le sigh.
And of course I haven't abandoned my favorite story ever...I'm just struggling with the climax, and a lovely hard drive crash left me without the part I'd already started. So once my brain can wrap around where I was supposed to be heading with that story, it will be updated.
Thanks so much for the review! :o)
Oh gosh. This is worse. Too sad, but you've got me hooked.
9 The perfect ending to such a sad story. Good job.
It only took me 3 days to finish it (stupid work) but here's a little Post-Dinner Party action. Fluffy and short, just the way I like it.
Obvious spoilers abound. :)
Too cute!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you cheeb!
10 Dwight and Dark Shadows, Awesome! Can't wait to hear how Dwight wound up with that job. How excited am I that Dwight and Angela are major characters here? Very excited. Also extremely happy that Jim and Pam just want to jump each other but realize it's too soon, but just can't help themselves. Really, who can blame Pam? :) The bantering between the two, just like old college times. *sigh* Don't fret about the not so speedy updates. After your last story you must have needed a breather. And if this is what happens when you take a breather, no worries.
Author's Response: Cheeb, you are awesome. A true motivator. And we will definitly delve deeper into what happened to Dwight. There should be some Dwight/Jim or Dwim time coming up soon.
Now I feel stupid. Begging for an Epilogue in my review of your last chapter of Dunder Hall. As soon as I was done with the review I went to check "Most Recent" and see this. This is crazy. How did they wind up here? You've got me hooked italianfood.
9 Ha! He's in Scranton and she thinks it's just her mind playing tricks on her! Good for Jim, going to try to win Pam back. Hopefully no one else will see him until he's had a chance to tell her he's back in town. And Angela! Can't wait to hear how her love life's going. Love that Pam's rooming with her. So much comic potential there. So glad you've done a sequel to Dunder Hall. I was confused as to how they fell apart, so I'm glad you've explained it. I think I understand what happened, but am looking forward to your further explanation. Also looking forward to lots of long chapters. Wow, an update to Learning to Live Again and this one. You're on a roll right? And we won't have to wait long for updates to either right? :)
10 Funny, this time I was waiting for David Sedaris on Letterman when I thought I'd check the site. Yay! You're back with more! Awesome dialogue between Angela, Pam and Jim. And then just Angela and Pam. No, she's not very good at the girl talk thing is she. Can't wait for Dwight to reappear. Happy to see them being honest with each other. I'm bracing myself for the angst though. Welcome back Mifflin Designs! Missed you. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for recommending my story on the boards!
9 Leave it to Jim to gravitate toward the misfits. Sad that Pam has pushed her creative side away. Understandable though, losing her mom and then Jim. I'm sure whatever you have planned for them in making their way back to eachother will be believable, touching and humorous. This is a good start. Gotta say though, I can't wait for Dwim!
Author's Response: Yes, the Dwim is coming soon as well as more Pangela... Anam... Pam and Angela. I\'ll work on that one.
10 Love Dr. Phil/Pam at the start of this chapter. You are seriously good at the banter between the two. And you are seriously good at the smut writing. Mood lighting, so cute. The fact that they can't help but think about the way the other might have been with other people is TOTALLY believable. I hope Pam heard Jim when he told her LY. Thoroughly enjoyed this chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! This was easily my favorite chapter to write so far. Next chapter will pick up where this one left off at and we\'ll get into the whole \"I love you\" thing along with what they are (their couple status).
Three times Jim proposed...with unexpected results. Spoilers through Chair Model.
I own nothing whatsoever to do with these characters or The Office.
This was just hilarious! Perfect way to start off my day. Thanks!
Author's Response: My pleasure, Cheeb! Y'all take that back to the Spoiler thread and spread the JAM around a little for me, okay? Thanks for the review!
10 This was just beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes how happy these two are now, together. Thanks for writing this.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and taking the time to read such lovely comments. I\'m glad you enjoyed :)
10 Wow, this was really good. I was not liking Toby very much this season. You've just made me feel bad for him because I can really see him feeling like this. Great job.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I love the feedback.
10 This is just beautiful. Very believable. So glad you decided to post it. Am looking forward to more.
“Pam and I have hurt a lot of people, but mostly we’ve hurt each other. There’s no coming back from that.”10 This is only the first chapter and it's already gut wrenching! You've got me interested in how this all turns out. Look forward to the rest.
Author's Response: There will be some more gut wrenching to come! It has to get worse before it gets better, right? Thanks for reading and taking the time to review! I really appreciate it! I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story!
10 Another great chapter. I think it is very believable that he feels nothing about Karen's cheating. Very sad. Wake up Halpert. It's because you don't love her and you cannot make yourself. I like the relationship that you've given Jim and David Wallace. I hope we see more of it. Thank you for the reassurance before the chapter started that things will get better because He Cannot Marry Karen. His heart is with Pam. He knows it and Karen knows it. Glad to hear you have a lot more story planned.
Author's Response: I agree! No marrying Karen! The fun will be getting to that point! ;-) I really have a writing crush on David Wallace, for some reason. I like to imagine him as a mentor to Jim, and I think they would end up being friends. Poor Jim is very confused about everything right now, but things will eventually work out and he\'ll see the light! Thanks for taking the time to review. I\'m glad you find his numbness believable...it\'s hard to go to a darker place with these characters and still keep it true to them!
Pam is outraged after her favorite show releases a disappointing season finale, so she calls Jim to vent. Not-so-subtle spoilers for "Goodbye, Toby".10 I'd read this before and just realized after reviewing your new story that I'd never reviewed this one. My bad. Anyway, I really enjoyed this. The banter between these two made me laugh out loud. Great job!
Author's Response: I have no problem with late reviews. Thanks a million.
10 Wow, I don't know how I missed seeing this when it was first posted. Glad I decided to check out your other stories after I read your latest. Here's hoping Jim and Pam's first talking heads for season 5 is them telling us they did exactly this! I liked this, a lot.
It's a little AU, with Jim still working at Dunder-Mifflin, but attacking his job issues and his journey with Pam from a different direction. What if Jim worked in the warehouse with Roy when he starts to find the office receptionist way too attractive for his own good?
10 Ooh, this is different. I like it. Hadn't noticed you had a new story out Binxbaby. Love Welcome to the Halperts. Look forward to seeing where you take this.
10 Just the other day I was saying on the boards that this hadn't been updated in awhile and that I had enjoyed it. And what do you know, chapter 7 is up! Seeing as it's been awhile, I went back and reread in order to enjoy the newest chapter. I feel bad for not reviewing since chapter 3, because I like this story very much. This chapter 5 was excellent! I like that you've given Jim and Katy backstory because we never saw very much of their relationship on the show. And this backstory is quite believable.
10 Another excellent chapter, funny (Kelly and Michael) and heartbreaking. Okay, wiping my eyes so I can go off to read chapter 7.
