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.

Oh, such nice sweet fluff. I loved this especially: "She hums a little laugh, and you feel her hand drag down and lightly touch the fabric over her stomach again. When it pulls, the subtle bump is more pronounced and you both notice. Your eyes flick to hers, and you just smile and she does, too and you press your lips to her cheek again and just hold, hold, hold onto it."
I can really see them in this exchange just as you've written it. Thanks for keeping our blood sugars appropriately high in anticipation of the wedding. Nice job.

Very nice job with Toby - this is an interesting take on him and quite believeable. This line totally cracked me up:
"She gives his hand a squeeze when Michael asks if she’s his cousin."

Summary: Spoilers through "The Promotion".  I don't think I've ever written a good and proper fight between Jim and Pam.  I thought it might be fun to take a crack at it...in my own "fight" sort of way. ;-)

"He wants to scream it from the roof the building and burrow himself six feet underground simultaneously, because it’s true: He’s hopelessly in love with Pam, and there’s not a fucking thing he can do about it without royally screwing up both their lives"
This paragraph pretty much sums up Jim's life in Seasons 1 and 2. Wow.

Author's Response: Haha, I'm glad you thought so! I initially thought my wording was a little too direct and plainly stated, but all in all I guess I just wanted Jim to finally admit it to himself. Thanks for your review!

You are the queen of Jim and Pam banter. This is adorable. I loved this line because it describes Jim after the wedding exactly as you could imagine:
"sort of this blissful state of intoxicated fatigue"
I also love that he doesn't like marshmallows in ice cream. Good man.

Author's Response: Oh, a fellow marshmallow hater? EXCELLENT - me too...well, wait - I should qualify that. I like them in S'mores but I think that's the only place they belong. lol. They certainly don't belong in my ice cream!  Thanks so much for being such a loyal reader and reviewing Ms. Jazzfan!

Just when creepy Toby reared his head, you write this and make me feel for him again. Loved this self loathing description: "He thought again about his misbehavior over the last few years and he wondered how he had gotten so far away from the way he used to be. From the way he really was. No wonder Pam wanted nothing to do with him. No wonder Jim hated him.

No wonder Michael treated him the way he did. No wonder Cathy divorced him so many years ago."

Very well written. It makes me wonder which way they will take Toby's character this year.

Author's Response: Thank you! I hated his TH in the episode, but I still don't find him creepy. But I'm such a Toby apologist and defender so that's how I see things. I really hope Toby has more scenes, but that his scenes are completely separate from Jim and Pam. I like the way he interacts with Kelly (shocker), Oscar and even Ryan. I always have had the impression that Ryan genuinely likes him. Glad you liked the fic.

Very believeable and fun. I especially loved that she ordered and ate two breakfasts. Food tastes so darn good in the second trimester, so that really rang true. Can't wait for the next installment.

I really loved this, and these two paragraphs were especially great:
"You know that feeling you get as your foot falls asleep? It hurts at first and then, nothing. That was last May. This weight, it settled in my chest, I couldn't breathe, couldn't find words to express what was slowly consuming me- I just let it. Because once it did... nothing. I. felt. nothing."


"But it doesn't last long, your leg starts to hurt as the blood flow stops there too. You want to get up, but you can't. You're dreading what's next. But something Pam someone Pam is telling you Pam you should Pam because it might go numb Pam forever."

Nice work. I'd love to read more from you if you are so inclined.
