(or, Everyone Else Wrote It, Why Can't I?) If you aren't sick to death of tales about such an historic event, here's one more version - told to you by the daters themselves.
8 **Sigh.
I love your version so far...keep it up!
I especially loved how Jim notices she's cold and gives her a hoodie. Absolutely great. That is so Jim.
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'ve found any man worth his stuff keeps a hoodie on hand. :)
Wow, Pam had a little tryst with Chris? Cool twist there.
This was very sweet, enjoyed it!
Poor Jim. He just can't catch a break. Well, I'm curious to see how he deals with this one!
Author's Response: Yeah, this is not going to be easy on our dear Jim. But he\'s in a different place than he was in S2, so he\'s got that going for him. Don\'t worry.
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.
I think I'm going to enjoy revisiting these episodes with Pam & Jim's take on them!
Author's Response: honestly, that's how I'm writing these. Watching the episodes and thinking how it would be to be Pam and Jim watching it for the first time. :)
"Of course he’d heard that the wedding was off."I enjoyed this...keep goin'!
Author's Response: Thank you, I will definitely. I\'ll be doing another chapter tonight and hopefully there will be 7 or 8 in all.
8 I'm truly ashamed of myself because I've been reading all the updates and enjoying them but I haven't been reviewing properly.
I am really enjoying this. I love how they are both using this time before the wedding to reflect back. Some of these things are hard for me to think about, so I can just imagine how difficult it is for them to remember it! Phyllis' wedding was a horrible day...
Author's Response: Thanks for finally reviewing. Overall it has been fun writing this but it exhausts me to write Jim in pain sometimes.
I absolutely LOVED that deleted scene...and I really enjoyed your interpretation of the aftermath.
Keep writing!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. That scene just jumped out at me and I had to write something to \"wrap it up\". Hopefully this isn\'t my last idea for a fic. :)
9 This was really, really lovely. You definitely know these two well, because I can completely see both of them behaving this way. Especially Jim, we all know how sentimental he is.
So well done, in fact, that I will absolutely be checking to see what other stories you've written.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much for such lovely comments. I\'m so pleased you think this is realistic for Jim and Pam because it\'s always worrying writing pure fluff that it\'ll stray into being too unrealistic. Yeah, I have such a soft spot for Sentimental!Jim.
I have to say, I just read this again, and it is without a doubt one of the best JAM fanfics in existence. Period.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much. That\'s pretty much the nicest thing you could say to me :)
Pam struggles with doubt and suspicion when Jim's behavior over the summer doesn't make sense.8 That Jim is really determined to keep secrets...for too long sometimes! I really liked this. I thought you were really true to the characters. I could totally see Pam thinking that maybe he had lost interest once he had her, and how her old insecurities came through and took over Fancy New Beesly.
Author's Response: I am so glad you thought I was true to the characters. I think it will take Pam more than a few months of dating Jim to get past all those old insecurities. Fortunately, Jim has no such insecurities! Thanks for your review.
This was lovely...thank you!
Author's Response: No, thank YOU. ;-)
Wow. I love how she is aware of his nightmares and how she comforts him. That killed me.
Author's Response: Well don\'t die! :) Seriously, though, thank you so much. :)
This story has a lovely feel to it. I am really enjoying it.
8 This chapter was just so well done. The conversation between Jim and Pam was great. Made my heart hurt a bit, though, hearing about that Stamford time period in Jim's words.
8 I really liked this...I'm looking forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I should have a new chapter up sometime soon.
8 The Return was my favorite season 3 episode. Just...Jim's voice when he said "yes" killed me.
I love what you did with it!
Author's Response: Thank you! That scene is just so heartbreaking, esp. his expression before Karen even enters the room. Clearly, he\'s going through some major stuff in his head.
8 Can you write for the show? Because if this isn't what happens I will be devastated!
Thanks for the happy thoughts!
Well, I definitely will think of JAM now every time I hear that song!
Thanks, this was a sweet one.
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing!!
8 Oh, just excellent. This was lovely.
S3 AU. She twists the gold band on her finger around and around. She waits to feel regret or guilt or something else besides this buzzing excitement.Wow, this was beautifully done, although painful to read!
8 I will NEVER get sick of this proposal...
Author's Response: They did it so beautifully, so much more simple and wonderful than I ever would have dreamed up on my own. It was fun to try to look into his thoughts a little though. Thanks for the review! :)
9 I suspect we'll be seeing something similar in an upcoming episode, although I hope it won't be this bad! I fear Jim still isn't feeling 100% secure about Pam's intentions.
Nice job, keep going (I hope you have make-up sex coming up soon!)
8 This was really lovely. Great job.
It has an excellent flow and was extremely true to Jim's character.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! That's reassuring- I knew it didn't exactly sound like his speaking voice, but I was hopeful that it would sound like maybe his thoughts.
9 This was just lovely. You can just feel their intense happiness throughout. Thank you.
