Bio:
After being raised by feral dogs deep in the heart of Appalachia for my first 17 years, I rescued a group of imperiled socioanthopologists from certain doom at the hands of some moonshiners in an undisclosed mossy holler of my homeland. Silly with gratitude, they taught me to read and eventually, to make letters with a pencil. I'm continuing that learning process by writing fan fiction here.
As you can see, I'm still having trouble with run-on sentences and cliches. Yet I've come so far.
Oh, and I love music - especially jazz.

Thanks for giving us a little of the stuff we're not getting on the show. *grin* Very sweet, I especially liked their recap of Christmases past.
Author's Response: You're very welcome jazzfan. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.

Chiming in to agree so much with your idea that Pam realizes that "it could have been her." I see that whole ending as Pam's "Money" moment, and you've done a great job with a very plausable conversation afterward, and I loved the bickering about the tape - very realistic. Oh, and Jim is a gem.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I thought as I watched the elevator scene that this is what must have gone through Pam's mind as she rode up in the elevator. I just wanted to 'hear' her say it...so I made her. lol!
And yeah. He's a keeper. :)

Wonderfully in character. I really liked this part where you have a call back to Jim talking about Pam going to Pratt as "see how easy that was?"
Easy, how was that so easy?
All these months I’d been thinking, plotting, planning, when all I’d ever had to do was ask.
So easy.
I’m such a tool.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Oh, that was probably my favorite part too. Jim likes to overthink things sometimes. Glad you liked it. But alas, this was it! I need to finish up my other one anyway, and probably do my schoolwork and other RL duties... sigh. Thanks for the review jazzfan! Always good to hear from you. :)
Summary: A series of mostly unrelated vignettes inspired by poems (or lines from poems) by Dorothy Parker.
It will feature all the major characters at some point, and will most likely be angsty because that's where Parker's poems lean.

Wonderful job.
This line was especially great, because this really was the turning point for Pam. There was no going back from what she did at Beach Games.
The Pam Beesly that exists on this side of the coal walk is not the same Pam Beesly that will exist on the other side of it.
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked it. I\'ve been trying to get something with Pam on Beach Games written for this, so I\'m happy this one is going over well. :)

Oh carbondalien, I love all of these but you've really outdone yourself on this one. Perfect body language and I'm going to pick out the same line Nan did, because it's beyond awesome:
She doesn’t know if she’s ever seen two people be so connected to each other while trying to remain so far apart That describes season 3 Jam about as well as any one sentence I've ever read. Brava.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. :) This one has been in my head for a while, so I had plenty of time to think about details and such. I\'m glad it all came through.

Oh, this poem is perfect for Angela. I love how she knows about the crease in his wallet from the ring.
Author's Response: As soon as I saw the title, it popped in my head like \"Little Words? Mad Libs!\" Things kind of snowballed from there.

I was so excited when I saw a new Dorothy Parker here this morning, and you did not disappoint. Funny, I picked out the same line as VB:
He can’t even be the hero of his own imagination.
Perfect poem for Toby, well done.
Author's Response: Thank you. I\'m glad you liked it. :) When I first read the poem, I briefly thought about Pam, but she isn\'t just filling her time with art, etc. - it\'s genuinely bringing fulfillment and joy into her life, whereas Toby probably uses activities like these to just kill time, which defeats the purpose (enrichment) of these types of things.

The clown painting that would not die is one of my favorite things in the new season, so I'm all over this.
Here's to a never heartbroken again Jam.
Author's Response: The clown painting was a stroke of brilliance and I have to say bravo to the writers for it. Thanks for reading/reviewing. :)

Therapy writing is the best kind, I hope it's working for you because I think your readers are sure getting a treat.
I literally fliched when he crumpled the papers:
He picks up the health care form and reads the words, but he can't find that laughter again. This is the most he's ever felt of nothing.
He sighs, crumples up the health care form and tosses it in the trash
Argh, that's good writing.
Author's Response: Thank you. :) I\'m glad you liked it. I\'ll definitely be writing over the next few days. I just need to not be in my brain, if that makes sense.

I especially loved this line:
Even though she's never touched them or felt them on her own, she's memorized every curve of them and knows just that one spot that quirks up first before a smile.

Very interesting idea, and I really like Dorothy Parker. The scene you described fits the poem to a "t".
I'm very interested to see what other poems/stories you will do.
Author's Response: I\'ve been reading through my copy of The Portable Dorothy Parker and it\'s been the only thing that\'s given me any inspiration. I\'m sure as I read through more poems, more things will come along. Glad you liked it. :)

I'm still enjoying these very much, please keep them coming - can't wait to see which one is next.
In this poem, I always thought that the person felt worse about breaking the other person's heart than having their own heart broken. Pam seems a lot sorrier for herself in this story than she does for Jim at this point, but then, if only she knew how he really felt.
Author's Response: Glad you\'re liking it. I always thought it was... odd? unusual? (or something) how they are so in sync but can misunderstand each at the same time.
Summary: "I first had the thought sort of ridiculously early- I could marry a girl like that". Spoilers through "Weight Loss".

Aw, that was so freaking sweet. I love "sweet Jim", and this story seemed totally believeable.

Summary: I was reading through old PostSecret entries and the idea for this fic just knocked me over the head. I wouldn't call this "PostSecret: The Office Edition", but it's pretty close.

This is so very sweet, I loved hearing his mom's perspective. Nice job.
Favorite line, as I could really see Jim saying this:
He cast his eyes down, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said to me in a sad, quiet voice that I‘ll remember until I take my last breath -- “Mom, I just think it would kill me to have to see her in a wedding dress.”
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, jazzfan! It\'s funny you commented on that particular line, because it was really the thing I though of first, then built the rest of the story on. I could definitely see Jim having a conversation with his mom that featured him saying that. I think it\'s finally fitting that now Jim\'s the one who gets to marry Pam, and how he probably can\'t wait to see her in her dress. I don\'t write that often, I really enjoy reading others\' works, but it\'s nice to see that people seem to be enjoying it!
