Post-The Job. Pam tells us about her week. A companion to "Week's End."
8 WOW. This was great.
I love how you've captured the tension. You've truly mastered the "show, don't tell" trick. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you, Pisa. I\'m touched by your compliments.
9 Ohh.....this is my favorite so far. Great chapter.
Loved this line:
"She averts her eyes when he sucks frosting off his thumb and his smile lets her know that he noticed."
Author's Response: I think it\'s hilarious that the whole lot of you like the frosting part best. Sick, sick, sick... :) I like how this one turned out, too, but I think tomorrow\'s is my favorite.
This was exhausting...and that's a compliment. I'm having a hard time keeping track of everyone in this story, but that corresponds very well to the "mystery" of what happened. The format you've chosen fits very well to the plot.
Update soon please :)
Author's Response: Thank you very much.
Summer pre-S5. Jim's in Scranton - Pam's in New York. Just little a set of vignettes - week by week until they're together again.
This is such a sweet story. I really enjoy reading it and cannot wait for the last four weeks :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me so. :) More soon!!!
The Second Episode of the Fifth Season in Script-fic. A Sequel to "Stars."
Amidst interest from several of the office workers, Ryan's trial begins in New York City. The rest of the office, however, is far more concerned with his replacement, the newly hired Corporate Manager, and the changes it might mean for the branch.
Hehehe......great opening. I found myself really wanting that to happen. I think it would be great fun to have Karen shake things up a bit.
Author's Response: I think it would be a lot of fun too. I don't think they'd ever do this on the show, but I think it would be great if they did. That is, as long as they give her a personality this time around. Thanks for taking the time to review Pisa.
I loved this. It can't be easy to write a qute and interesting story about gift registering, but you've done that.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and personally I'm pretty sure Jim and Pam could be cute doing even the most mundane tasks, like spending the whole day working in an office... Oh, wait....
The documentary crew can't be expected to capture everything. In secret, stolen moments away from the lenses and booms, Jim and Pam shared much more than we ever thought they did. This is what might have happened, between takes, on days off, and after the cameras went home.
10 Wow....just wow.
That chapter was perfection and so Jim and Pam. Their conversation felt as real as anything I've ever seen on the show. Pam talking about flowers...I don't know why but that really got to me, beautiful writing. Can't wait for more. This is the best I've read in a while.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks for the compliment!!! I hope I can live up to this for the rest of the story! :) Thanks for taking time to review, as well.
Hehe...this is such a fun read. Wouldn't it be great if they did something like this on the show?
You captured the characters so well.
It's been three years since Jim accepted the promotion to New York. After two years of silence, Pam sends Jim a gift.
8 Oh....please write more. I'm dying to know Jim's reaction to the picture.
Loved the quote.
Author's Response:
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Pisa! I'm kinda liking the picture ... and Jim's reaction. I hope you will, too.
Ahh....another Casino Night. That's a briliant idea. I'm almost a bit sad the writers didn't think of it. Wouldn't that have been a fun trip down memory lane?
I'm looking forward to the next chapter :)
A colorful look at the evolution of Pam and Jim's relationship.That was a great chapter. Sometimes I forget how bad it got at one point. I like how this story evolves. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks Pisa. I keep wondering if it\'s a tad melodramatic. This was really hard to write because it\'s such a turning point, and I\'m finding it\'s really hard to condense their relationship into seven chapters. But I\'ve got it all mapped out now. Glad you\'re liking it!
Another perfect chapter. I think you capture the characters so well. It feels like Jim and Pam. It's not too dramatic and not too shallow, it feels real. I loved the paragraph that started with: "Roy's not Jim, and that's....." I've never really understood how she could go back to him, but this felt convincing. Great work.
Author's Response: Thanks Pisa! I hope I was able to capture their real motives and emotions. I wondered a lot about why she\'d do that, too. Glad it rang true to you. Thanks for reading and for the review!
Cinderella meets Groundhog Day meets Dr. Gregory House. Pam will never be the same. (Set during S3's Ben Franklin.)Another cliffhanger huh? You're quite skilled at building up the anticipation ;)
I have to say I really liked this chapter...the driving down Jim's street...great descriptions...I think we've all been there. Two-thumbs up!
8 I've never wathced House, but I think I might have to now. What a spunky character.
This is such a fun story. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Ahh....there's just so much history there. I love how you've put this story together. Amd the final line...I can almost hear Jim saying that. Great job.
Author's Response: thank you so much! I agree, there\'s so much history with JAM... and isn\'t that why we love \'em? ;)
9 Oh my God...what happened?
Great writing. Heartbreaking, but really good.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing...I am glad you are enjoying it...and don\'t worry, I\'ll get to what happened...eventually.
That was an awesome proposal. Great work!
Author's Response: Thank you! I was quite happy with it :) Thanks for reviewing!
9 To quote a beloved tv-character "You really brought out the big guns". That was awesome. You're writing is beautifully poetic and I loved the plot. I can imagine Jim doing something like that.
Set sometime after season 4. Jim and Pam decide to watch the documentary for the first time, together. Just some fluff with a dash of angst for good measure.
This is a fun idea. I like it. Keep up the good work. I would love to see a longer chapter though, maybe it's coming up? ;)
Author's Response: Oh if only I had the time. :) Definitely will be working on a long chapter for Casino Night. :) Thank you for commenting!
7 I really liked this chapter. What a great lead up to the dancing scene in the wedding. And you're so right about those earlier episodes...it's pure pain to revisit them, even now. I tried to watch Casino Night the other day and I had to literally skip Jim's confession cause my stomach couldn't take it.
9 I don't know why, but I find myself drawn to the stories where they are no longer together. This was a great one-piece. I loved how you've given Pam the courage to really be on her own. I think the grown-up in me like independant Pam.
Always sorry to see that happily ever after isn't for them, but at the same time I find it very interesting and rewarding that there is life after JAM.
Don't know if Jenna is gonna get her wish on the show, but at least she can get it here :)
Author's Response:
i think there's something so compelling, almost freakish, in a situation where they went through so much strife - and yet it still couldn't work out. we have been trained to want them together, but it would be so interesting for them to part. that's my two cents. (although - it would be difficult to watch, at least for me.)
"I think the grown-up in me like independant Pam." aw man, me too. honestly, i want these two fantastic characters to be happy - whatever that might mean.
There was someone further down the page who said they'd wish they had written this, can I just say...SO DO I!
Beautiful.
Author's Response: Thank you so very much. That's an amazing compliment.
10 I LOVED this line
"Jim toasted her with a smirk and finished his drink, and Karen thought that he really did like to be told what to do just a little too much. It made her feel, for the first time ever, kind of sorry for Pam."
Pam still doesn't deal well with sudden revelations.
Loved it, and not just because it was funny.
Author's Response:
Wow, really? There's not much else to it but the funny. Thanks so much, that's really cool!
I love this piece. I think it's very realistic.
Author's Response: Thank you, Pisa. Realism was important to me in writing this. I appreciate it.
