I'm a 23 year old college graduate with way too much time on her hands. I fell in love with The Office somewhere around January and it's a love that just won't quit.
"Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations." Faith Baldwin
A story inspired by Ms. Fischer herself and her recently publicized version of Pam's backstory that explains what the hell is going on in her mind now that she's made that poor heartbroken boy move away.
10 Okay, I loved what Jenna said in the EW about Pam's new life and you managed to capture it so perfectly. I can really imagine her at the laundry mat and curling her hair and trying new clothes and just adjusting to it all.
Recently she’s been spending hers preparing for a date she’s not sure she’ll ever get to go on.
This line made me want to cry because wow, I've been there and it sucks. (Wait, did I just admit to having no life? Oh well, it's true.)
Wonderful job with Pam's character.
When she finally does, and her eyes meet his, she finds out.
I want to find out too!!! This damn show just kills me.
I did too. I'm so glad you thought I did it justice.
Obviously. [/jim]
I've been there myself so count me in as a no-lifer on occasion.
I can't wait to find out the real story. Hopefully it ends up the way we all want it to.
Grrr. It'd better. :x
eta: The "obviously" is supposed to come after the "I did too." I don't "obviously" think you think I did it justice.
I shouldn't respond to reviews when I'm groggy. :)
Inspired by something I noticed about the "Casino Night" kiss.
9 What a beautiful description of the kiss. Hmm, I think maybe I'll go watch it again for the 789,474,239th time.
Author's Response: Thank you! And wow, you've watched the kiss more times than I have. ;o)
Ryan finds an assortment of junk in Jim's desk. He lets Pam decide what to do with it.9 Aww. Very sweet. I love that Jim kept all that stuff. Love even more the last thing on the packing list. COME BACK JIM!
8 Wow. Who knew chips could hold so much metaphorical meaning?
And suddenly I have the urge to run to the store to try a bag of Garden Salsa Sun Chips. Hmmm.
Nice job!
8 This is an awesomely intriguing idea. Distrubing yes. But still intriguing. Loved the way you pulled this off.
Author's Response: When nomadshan has an idea, it's usually a pretty decent one so I'm glad I could do it justice even though it's certainly not a popular way to go! Thanks!
Pure unadulterated semi-smutty Supply Closet Fic. It really serves no other purpose.
10 "image of Jim, in the supply closet, covered head to toe with only yellow sticky notes"
And that's the image I'm going to bed with tonight. Seriously? My two favorite things. Jim and post-it notes.
You're killing me.
Love scandalous Pam. Love flustered Jim. Love, love, love the supply closet (my favorite fanfiction character).
Stupendous job as usual.
The 3M company does not know what a marketing opportunity they have waiting for them. :)
Thanks shan! Glad I can combine your two "loves". Ummm wait. That sounds...kinda...dirty. LOL! And yes. The supply closet does seem to have become an entity unto itself hasn't it?
9 There will never be enough supply closet smut out there.
Wonderful and in-character and just so... Pam and Jim.
Great job!
When a national law endangers Pam, a shared secret brings her and Jim together.
An X-Men universe AU. But without the spandex.
10 Wow. This rocks. Incredibly unique. Can't wait to read more.
An unexpected conversation with Karen gives Jim some perspective. Based on unspoiled speculation for season 3.8 God it would be so easy if Karen really were a bitch.
And I love whenever Jim is protective of his co-workers. Especially Pam. So wonderful job.
10 Guh.
Author's Response: Thanks, shan ;)
Pam makes an important call
10 This fic made me giddy.
Damn Ryan and Dwight for interupting their phone call. They really could have talked for hours. And you know what? I would have listened to every freaking minute of it. (Dork)
Lovely fic. Lovey characterization. Wonderful job.
More Jim and Pam and their adventures in raising baby Jill!
Can I just tell you how excited I get whenever I see this fic has been updated? Seriously, I jump up and down and make sounds like a little girl.
And this did not disappoint. I love all of Jim's letters to Jill. You've done such an amazing job at not only capturing Jim's voice but just the overall joys and fears of being a parent. Awesome.
Five occasions (four written, one verbal) where Pam sends Jim the right message. Speculation post-Merger.8 Oh fluffy goodness how I love thee.
These were fantastic. Especially loved the call back to the paper crane.
Drabble. Jim learns something new.9 Oh goodness... this is very[/Jim] good.
Drabble. Why Pam needs to be on her own, for once
9 Wow. This is gorgeous.
9 So Awesome. Best Babyfic ever.
I know I've said this before but you ahve got these characters down. Love how you could always tell who was talking.
Brilliant.
Jim, Pam...and a partridge in a pear tree. There are 12 days of Christmas - there will be 12 chapters of this story.
10 Aww. I got tears in my eyes when Pam said "It's just that I know you."
I could imagine each of their facial expressions so perfectly in this.
Love it so far. I'm already trying to figure out what you're going to do with the other eight days you have left. Five golden rings? Hmmmm...
Oh shannanagin - me too! These two are simply killing me!
As for the rest of the days...some will be literal translations - some - not so much.
Wait and see!
9 Fantastic job! I like that you decided to go with Pam's POV for the conversation with Karen. And I like the subtle little ways that you've shown the difference between the two women and why Pam's the better match for Jim.
Can't wait until the seven swimming swans!
YAY!! I'm so glad you liked it. I really think I was struggling to find Karen's voice in the other version.
And I'm glad the subtley worked for you!
7 Swans is almost ready - just doing some early morning tweaking!
Wow. Five. Best. Rings. Ever.
This chapter was awesome. It made me giddy. Seriously. Please tell me that you're not going to make us wait too long for calling birds.
HA! Don't know when there's been another 5 rings - but I'll gladly take the compliment.
Not too long. I promise!!
8 Awwww... this made me smile.
Love when FNB decides to take a chance.
Beautiful jon.
Jim receives a gift the day after Christmas. And then another one the next day. And again for the 10 days after. Is it a joke, or has his True Love come forward? “Let me guess - you guys were having sex in the back, weren't you? Please tell me you were using Toby's desk.”
Hee. Hee. That is so something Michael would say.
I have so many questions that need to be answered. What's the deal with Parma? Where did Pam go that one day? Who is Jim's True Love?
Please update soon!... Although I'm kind of sad that this only has two more chapters left.
Speculation for S3 and a whole lotta wishful thinking. Pam's trying to be gracious about Jim's relationship with Karen - but she's had enough - and tells (shows) him so.
I am now completely convinced that we need to see this side of Pam on the show. It's about time that she lets out a little of that rage you just know she's got built up inside of her.... Plus, it would be awesome to see Jim completely thrown off guard by her.
Oh, and yeah, I love this. I find myself wanting to cheer after almost every line. Go Pam!
Oh please. I'd love to see both of those things. Pam angry - Jim shocked as all hell.
Go Pam indeed! Thanks shannanagin!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love when we get to see Pam really good and pissed off at Jim. Because lets face it, he's not the only one thats hurting.
You capture her anger and annoyance so well. Can't wait to see where you're going with this.
YAY! YAY! YAY!!!
So glad you're liking the story. Just a little spoiler -I'm going to end it happy.
In case you were wondering. ;)
Sweet and sexy and fun.
I love angst free Jim and Pam. Nice job.
He’s been baking her a cupcake on her birthday for the past four years.Random, fluffy sort of season three Jim/Pam. 10 Wow. Now, this is what I want to see. This is how I've pictured it in my head. Jim and Pam just kind of simply falling back together. Lovely.
Incredible.
