Jim has a great idea. Great intentions. The problem was executing them with ease. Spoilers for "Night Out".
I really like how you've gone into Jim's head a little here and justified his actions- because I thought a lot of things were a little bit out of character in the last episode. And this little tidbit was just wonderful...thanks for sharing!
I loved this...it flowed really well and I really like how you wrote Jim. On the show he's always made out to be the eternal good guy, but I'm sure he's just as insecure and grumpy and jealous as the rest of us, and I think you've really captured that well here. Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you! I love writing Jim and speculating on what he\'s really thinking.
I loved this...it's so beautiful in its simplicity. This is such a Jim/Pam proposal because it's not anything extravagant but still perfect. I loved the telepathy line...true Jim Halpert indeed.
It really was a terrible day for them, wasn't it? I think you handled it well here...good insight to Jim's brain.
Just a little introspection. I guess mild spoilers for Season 4 and the general concept of where things might be going for Jim and Pam.great job...just lovely.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I\'m glad you enjoyed it!
This was so realistic...definitely the way that these 2 would fight and make up. Great job!
Jim's been acting a little strange these days.Loved it! I definitely second continuing...this was great.
Author's Response: Thanks! Well, it\'s snowing out today (after being in the 80\'s yesterday--gotta love Colorado) so I\'m stuck in the house. I guess I\'ll be working on this all day. Hopefully I\'ll come up with something good by the weekend.
10 I love all your stories; this is no exception! I like the spontaneity of this...and the fact that it's not even a question when it comes out. Beautiful images, too...wonderful :)
Oh my god...this was so hilarious! Well done, indeed. The talking heads were great...Andy and Jim crack me up :) I definitely think you should continue this!
Author's Response: thank you! i may continue this... we'll see. i love writing andy, so i'm glad you liked him.
10 There are just so many lovely things about this piece that I don't know where to start! Honestly, whenever I read something of yours, I'm amazed at how well you "get" Jim and Pam; their characters, their dialog, their interactions with one another and their thoughts. You've managed to really capture the essence of Jim (especially this season) and his identity crisis (for lack of a better term). You did a good job of bringing a lot of issues to the surface: lack of motivation, fear of becoming Michael, lack of a "dream," but ultimately the eternal shipper in me loves that ultimately Jim got Pam out of DM and doesn't see it really worth anymore of his time.
I'll stop babbling now...but I really loved this! Can't wait for your next piece!
Author's Response: Honey, thanks so much. I\'m glad the hours and hours I\'ve spent watching and rewatching The Office, reading the dialogue, analyzing screencaps has paid off in some small way. I love these characters and I\'m so curious about them. Jim in particular, because they haven\'t given us much of his backstory. It\'s fun to imagine why he is the way he is . . . Anyway, glad you liked this. Thanks for reading and reviewing. You always are so good about that ;-)
Wow...that was great. I think the ending fits really well, and that these 2 really have a lot to get through before they get married, so I loved it. Really believable; you got into Pam's head nicely.
Author's Response: Thank you!
Post-Job Fair fluff. Because it made me happy.
Spoilers abound.
This was so awesome...you really captured the essence of Jim and Pam perfectly :)
great job of capturing pam's thoughts!
Author's Response: oh thanks! i know it's cliche, and saying it's cliche is cliche :) but i really love the job. i could write about it from 100 angles - as could we all i suppose!
Dirty Jam! I loved it :P And, of course, the rest of it, too :)
Author's Response: well dirty jam is the s--t. pardon my french. thanks for the feedback!
9 This has a really beautiful simplicity about it that makes it totally Jim and Pam. Good job!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I guess I'm a little Thoreau - "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!" *laughs*
This was so beautiful...great job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
This was lovely...wonderful job!
Author's Response: thank you, honey! i\'m glad you enjoyed it.
"Well apparently, for two people who like to talk, we aren't very good at communicating." Congrats on an awesome first Jam fic! I thought you did a really good job of brining out everything Jim and Pam are dealing with at this point in their relationship- individually and together. The dialog and thoughts flowed really well...so, congrats! I know you probably intended for this to be a one shot, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to read more :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I did intend it to be a one-shot, but I do love the idea of the two of them working on their poor communication skills.
*Finale Spoilers* - What I believe happened after the fireworks and before the scene by the copier.
Just how I would've wanted it to happen: kind of a quiet, understated moment with just the 2 of them. I would've loved to have seen this play out...but alas, at least I can read your story :) Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thanks honeyp! I'm so glad I could help you out. I'm very happy you liked it.
9 I absolutely loved this! You've got a great grasp of Jim's mindset...I like how you didn't sugar coat anything. I don't know if you were intending on making this only a one-shot or not, but I really love it and think you should continue! Great job :)
Opps...scrap part of my first review...clearly I can't read and didn't notice there was another chapter!
10 So...I'm just going to pretend your version happened, instead of Pam saying she found Toby cute and Jim getting his ass kicked by Andy. Can't wait for more! (You are writing more, right??)
Author's Response: Definitely writing more, honeypioneer! And I totally think my version is what happened, too. :-) Thanks for reviewing!!
I really enjoyed this...great job!
