Bio:
I'm a graduate student that loves to procrastinate by reading copious amounts of fanfic instead of working on my thesis!

I only got into The Office during the writer's strike. I went from never having seen an episode to having seen all of them in about a week. I'm hooked, and I can't wait to see the new episodes!

I would love to be somebody's beta. I will gladly edit for content and/or grammar, whatever you want.

I'm really enjoying this story, but I feel like I have to clarify something - the morning after pill won't actually make you not pregnant if you already are, it just keeps sperm from fertilizing the egg. You're thinking of the abortion pill, which isn't sold in the US. The morning after pill does not kill anything. Sorry to nitpick, but I actually teach classes on this sort of thing to incoming college freshmen, and it's a dangerous misunderstanding that keeps a lot of girls from taking the morning after pill.

Seriously though - great story, I'm really enjoying it! :)

Author's Response: Thanks for clarifying and thanks for reading! Clearly I\'ve gone through 3 1/2 years of college without knowing that, and I was a bio major for two of those. lol(sad really). But I do know a few girls that have thought the same thing that Pam thought, mainly because the clinics didn\'t really explain anything, just handed the box of pills over and told them how to take them. Thanks again, I might work that into next chapter or the one after so Pam can throw that back in Angela\'s face.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Pam disappears one day in August. 

Post-S2 AU, if Pam had decided not to stay in Scranton.

I've had that feeling a lot lately, just wanting to pick up and move somewhere new and not tell a soul, so this really resonated. Thanks for writing it, it was beautiful!

This is very nice - you've done an amazing job in very few words! I really liked that the teal teapot is always there, but you don't beat the reader over the head with it. Just a quick nitpick - I think you meant four o'clock, not four a clock.

This was a very nice debut!

Author's Response: oh thank you *takes just a little bow*. I really appreciate the nitpicking, haven\'t done this in such a long time :) Thank you again

Wow. This was so lovely, I don't even know what to say! Very elegant and beautiful. Just... wow.

Author's Response:

So nice to read the word "elegant" in a review, Tiktaalik!  The process was anything but, so it's good to read the final product didn't give that away.  Thank you so much for reviewing!

As someone who recently got engaged herself, can I just take a minute to tell you that this is EXACTLY what it's like? I was distracted by the sparkly thing on my finger for WEEKS afterward. I almost got into a wreck in my car because I was admiring it in the later afternoon sunlight. :)

And the thing with Jim being ready to get married right away is pretty nice, too, cause that's how a lot of guys are when they propose - for them, the hardest part is done and they are ready to get hitched, like, NOW. And I love Pam at the end.

Very nice, very sweet story. I loved it!

“But really, professing love for someone already in a relationship after some lame office party? Weak sauce.”

Hee. Oh, Jim. This is one of my favorites of the after-Goodbye-Toby fics. I love it when people attempt to write from Jim's point of view and it comes out actually sounding like him, which I think you did very well.
