I just read your story for the first time, and I am really impressed with your research into the time period and the story line you've laid out for Jim and Pam. Definitely definitely keep up the writing--I can't wait for the next installment! Also, I love the photo of Private James Halpert :)

I decided to write a sequel to Charcoal & Watercolors !!!!
The story picks up right about where Charcoal & Watercolors left off -- Jim and Pam's wedding. Then goes from there into their future. Jim still works at the advertising company and Pam works (exclusively) at a publishing company where she is an illustrator of children's stories.
I added a few more characters ;) and am planning on keeping almost all of the characters from the previous story.
Enjoy!!

This is definitely one of the most original JAM fanfics I've ever read. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds. Keep the updates coming!!
Summary: I was reading Cosmo, the one with Rihanna on the cover, and there was this story on the cover about "nice" habits that can cost a girl her life. If you've read it, this story is based off that. If you haven't read it, well then, Pam is home alone, and, well, yeah. I don't want to give anything away. I don't know when it's set, sometime after The Deposition I guess. Just read, you know you want to.

i really hope that writing this story has helped to bulldoze down the wall that is writer's block for you! i've read your other stories, and have hoped you'd update/finish them, and same goes for this one! i can't wait to find out what happens next!
and seriously, what is wrong with jim?? hand spasm? i don't know if you've seen the deleted scenes from "branch wars," but there's one where pam admits she's a little jealous that jim is still going along with michael and dwight to see karen! anyways, i ramble. looking forward to the next installment!
Author's Response:
I think it has and I'll jump onto finishing those once I'm done with this one! (Oh, that's SO what she said.)
And I saw that and surprisingly, it helped me get this idea for Pam's extreme envy and anxiousness when Karen is within boundaries.
Thank you so so much for your kind review. It brightened my dull and rainy morning! I'll work hard and update this and my other stories soon! Thanks a ton (again)!

HAHAHAHA! I can actually picture Andy singing off-key on a stage...too funny. And Michael would watch Hannah Montana...also too funny.
I'm glad Jim and Pam made up, but I'm also eager to know if Karen has any other tricks up her sleeve. She can be such a mean girl. I'm glad Jim saw right through her.
Viva la JAM!
Author's Response:
Viva la JAM! I like that! Very clever!
And I'm glad I wrote something that was believable! And you'll have to just wait and see what's in store for our favorite couple and the girl we love to hate. : )
I just finished up the next chapter and let me tell ya; it's pretty long and i REALLY like it's result. So hopefully you'll all be satisfied as well!
Thanks so much for your review! It means a lot! I can't say that enough, but seriously! Keep 'em comin'!
And hope you saw the premier for our show! It was GREAT!
Summary: Ooh- I'm on my third episode already?? ;) Basically, this is a set of Office episodes that immediately follows Goodbye, Toby. Lots of humor (I hope), romance, conference room scenes, and good old fashioned Dwight pranks.
