What if Jim never went to Stamford? What if Pam started making life changes a little sooner?
An AU look at season 3.

This is great. It's very realistic!
Author's Response: Thanks grammarfreak! I'm really striving for realism here, so I'm glad you think it works. Thanks for reviewing. :)
Watching the documentary as a favor for Ryan, Toby learned that almost everyone at Dunder Mifflin could probably sue Michael for something and win big. And he learned a few other very important lessons as well.This is great, and very original. Good job!
Wow! Was not expecting that.
Author's Response: Thanks, grammarfreak!
This is really adorable, and well thought-out character wise. Good job!
Pam and Jim reconnect after the events of Casino Night.Love it!

She couldn't be sure exactly when he ceased to exist, but the first day she suspected something was the day after she canceled her wedding.

"Jim, why don't you tell Pam how you really feel?"
Jim and Pam deal with the stuff that comes with being on a hit show...talk shows, radio call-ins, and press junkets. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but is that really the case? Watch as Jim and Pam deal with being in the public eye and under the thumb of manipulative network producers. The story is told through interviews, transcripts, web pages and photos.
this story is really original - i like it
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review. I really appreciate it!
Different, and tough - but really good
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback!
short and sweet :)
Author's Response:
I have to say, there are a lot of times I check out the number of words in a story to figure out whether it's a major time commitment. Sometimes I have to just leave it for later when I can dedicate more time to it. It is nice at times to breeze through something quickly.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, grammarfreak!
Jim's been acting a little strange these days.i like it - i can totally see this happening (chapter 2). can't wait for more!
9 that link to youtube distracted me for several hours, haha

Author's Response: Yeah me too :) Thanks for commenting!
perfect. can this happen on the show?
this is a fantastic story - so heartfelt and realistic
love it
Author's Response: Thanks, grammarfreak!
This will be a series of self-contained chapters (oneshots) exploring various "what ifs" pertaining to episodes spanning seasons one through three. Each chapter will examine how things would've gone differently if either Jim or Pam had responded to a given situation the way that (most) fans had wanted or almost expected them to.
For example, the first chapter focuses on how things would've happened differently if Jim had confessed during those twenty-seven seconds of silence on the booze cruise when we were all holding our breath and hoping he would.
Among the other chapters I have mapped out: What if all the reminders of Jim in "Gay Witch Hunt" had provoked not a small, sad smile from Pam at the end of the episode, but rather, had motivated her to take action -- drive to Stamford to see him for the first time in four months? Or what if Jim had responded to Pam's text in "Diwali" via a post-Jagermeister phone call? What if Jim had walked in on Pam crying at the end of "Back From Vacation"? (...You get the idea.)
Again, though, each chapter will be confined to an episode, so it will essentially be a series of oneshots that are unrelated to each other.
both chapters were great
Is there life and love after Jam?this is very, very good. the first anti-jam story i've actually enjoyed.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks grammarfreak! Quite a compliment. Glad you\'re enjoying it!
never thought i'd like seeing jim without pam, but this is fantastic
Author's Response: Thanks so much, grammarfreak! Yeah, I never imagined writing a fic without Jim and Pam together ... but you know how things go. Glad you\'re liking it, and thanks for reading!
