I have to let you know how much I'm enjoying this story. I love the role reversal and how we see Pam eating her heart out over Jim. Really, I want to see this series last for a long, long time. I'm enjoying your take on their relationship a lot. I can't articulate it very well but it has a gentleness and sweetness to it and want it to continue for as many chapters as you have in you.

Jim coming to the realization that he's falling for Pam and that's she more than just his friend is something that I can't wait to read but I don't want it to come too fast. Are you seeing a trend here? lol

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love it.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your awesome review! It was so nice! It really makes me happy that people are liking this story! Thanks again! I really appreciate it!

I am the lover of the one shot, but am unable to resist the lure of shenanigans. So more please. This had a wonderful balance of sweetness and mild angst. Poor Pam. I'd love to see Jim introduce her to the concept of it's fun to get married.

The car analogies were fantastic, btw and even if it's only a one shot you've left me satisfied and smiling. ;) Well done.

Again I have to say how much I'm enjoying this story. I love how you've split up the characters into the different Jim and Pam camps and they fit their niches perfectly. I certainly hope that Ryan gets a slapdown. I'm looking forward to reading where you go with your ideas.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad you think the ensemble\'s roles fit the story. And don\'t worry, I have something planned in a few chapters for Ryan. ;) Thanks again for the review!

Love it! I make sure to check in once in a while to see if you have a new chaper up. (translation: every day) Fan girl squee when I saw that you'd updated Philly Jam. I can't wait for the dinner date. Thanks for the new chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you for the review!! I\'m so flattered you check every day for an update! This is definitely a motivator to get crackin on the next chapter!! And I\'m glad you enjoyed this chapter as well. Thanks again!!

Date: August 08, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Consequences

I like how you got Pam to end it right away with Roy...and seriously how clueless Roy is not even suspecting Jim when he was right there in the apartment.

I enjoyed your fade to black after the last chapter and how you got Jim and Pam to interact after their night together. Believable dialogue not sappy at all.

There's a really great flow to your story. As always, loving it!

Author's Response: Thanks so much!! I said this in another review response, but I\'ll say it here too cause it bears repeating: in my mind, Roy thinks that Pam\'s whole lifestyle is just an act and she isn\'t really good enough to be able to get a \"celebrity\" like Jim. And because of this, he thinks it\'s totally innocent between them, and even thinks maybe Jim\'s taking pity on her? I know I\'ve never explicitly said any of this, but that\'s my backstory and I\'m stickin to it!\r\n\r\nI\'m really glad you think the dialogue is believable and the flow is good. I struggled with this chapter to get it just right, and it sounds like it paid off! Thanks so much again for the review!!

Author's Response: Thank you!! I wouldn\'t worry too much about Roy; although he does have the potential to do some damage, I don\'t foresee him doing anything too violent. Glad you liked it, and that you\'re looking forward to the next chapter!!\r\n

Absolutely gorgeous. Also, great last line.

This is such a fantastic story. I've been re-reading the first two chapters quite a few times this summer and this is my favorite of the three. Any plans to continue the story and have Jim knock some sense into Dwight?

Author's Response: Thanks, Elle. No, I think I\'m going to leave this one lie for now. I feel like I\'ve gone out on a pretty big speculative limb here, and I want to see what happens in S5 before I write anything beyond this. I have some theories as to what\'s going to go down, and I\'m pretty sure that this going to end up AU. As such, I don\'t want to follow it too far.

It may be harder than it looks but you're doing an awesome job with it. I'm getting a little addicted to Philly Jim stories so thank you very much for writing this. It's got a really good set up for the rest of the fic and I can't wait to read it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the encouragement! I too am I bit in love with the thought of a Jim Halpert (and a Pam Beesley) that have had the types of life experiences that caused them to grow as opposed to stagnate in an office. So yeah for Philly Jim!

Date: June 22, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: we peeled the freckles from our shoulders

What a fantastic story. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this particular bit:

"Sometimes at night, when they lay close together like this, she'll reach for his ipod off the bedside table. With an earbud in his ear, the other in hers, she'll scroll through a shuffle of his music, even though they both know exactly which songs they return to every evening. He'll wait for his ear to fill with the simple melody of meandering acoustic guitar; music she playfully complains about in the car, deeming it his "artsy emo music", though eagerly seeks out only for these moments."

The visual of it I found so true to character. I could totally imagine them sharing music in bed this way. You made a wonderful little picture in my head that got me through work today. It got me thinking about a bunch of scenarios where they'd share the Ipod. So thank you for that.

It was a beautifully written, sensual oneshot. A great read. :) Thanks for posting!

Author's Response: Thanks a lot! I was listening to my ipod before writing this so.. I basically somehow wrote everything that was going on that night into the story. Minus having Jim in my bed, unfortunately, lol. Thanks for the review!

"It struck him even harder then, this was also the picture of the past’s ‘unattainable Pam’. The one he couldn’t have."

I could imagine fantasy moments like this existing for him S1-S2. Thank you for letting him live it out. I enjoyed the read very much. :)

I love Team Camera Crew. This was an adorable story and really enjoyed it. Comfortable as a oneshot but lots of fodder for more stories. Just how long can Jim and Pam go (TWSS) with just the crew knowing they're married?

Author's Response: The camera guys are my favorite characters, even though they don't get any camera time themselves.  With that office, I'm thinking they won't get away with it for long.

Pam needs someone to save her. Help is just a phone call away. Takes place during Back From Vacation.

It had always amused me that apparently the DM receptionists talk to each other about gossip (courtesy of Branch Wars) and I wanted to explore that. Also, apparently Rolando is flaming gay in my head, so... there's that.

Even though I know it turns out for them, your angst made me weepy. :( I felt so bad so Pam when it seemed like she missed her chance and you're totally in her head expressing that. Gah. Must go find fluff. Thanks for the great read!

Author's Response: I completely agree with you about feeling bad for Pam during the entirety of Season 3. There\'s something so heart wrenching about her situation that I find myself drawn to over and over (even though it works out for them in the end). Hopefully the muses will allow me to step back from the angst for a while and write something fluffy for once! Thanks so much for your comments Elle, and for reading my story!

Summary:

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.

Author's Response: There may be.  I didn't want people to feel that there wasn't a real resolution here.  But it did take me two months to write this, so I just wanted to be sure people knew that if there is more, it will take time.  I'm so happy you liked it, and I've had such fun watching people's responses to it.  Thank you for taking a moment to review.
