More Jim and Pam and their adventures in raising baby Jill!
What a beautiful story. It was sometimes funny, and sometimes so tender that I almost wanted to cry. You have created the perfect one-syllable-named family, and have described their triumphs and hardships beautifully. I would love to read more soon.
10 So this might be my favorite chapter yet. I loved seeing the Halperts through the eyes of Lauren-Elisabeth (love that name, by the way!). It was interesting to see them through the eyes of someone who didn't know their story inside and out like all of us fangirls do. It was a fresh perspective, and it was funny and sweet. Well done! I always look forward to updates on this story, so keep 'em coming!
Aw, this is the end? I've been following this story for EVER! But, if it had to end, this was a good way for it to end! And I'm glad that I finished reading it the night Jim and Pam had their baby on the show. Everything about this story was simply wonderful!
Yay! I was so thrilled to see an update to my favorite story about the Halpert family. I needed some fluff after all of the weirdness on yesterday's episodes. Will there be another story with the new baby? How will Jill adjust to having a little brother or sister and not getting all of the attention. Oh please, please, PLEASE add to this story or write a sequal!!! Thanks in advance ;)
Author's Response: Aw, thanks for the great feedback Sarah. There will definitely be another chapter after this...I'm not sure where it will end, but I don't want the story to wear out it's welcome either. We shall see how things go! ;-)
Ah ha ha! Clever Pam!
What I love about this story is how realistic it is. It doesn't matter that it's not full of drama. I love reading about Jim and Pam's everyday life.
Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
Is that the end of the story? I would really like to find out what happens, because this is great!
Well, I also happen to believe that Pam worked at Dunder Mifflin first. So does Greg Daniels, according to one interview, so as far as I'm concerned, you've got it right. This was a really sweet story. The fluffiest of JAM fluff. I especially liked the part where Jim compares Pam's name to that of a character on a British sitcom, and wonders if she'll change his life. Great job!
A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event. Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).
Oh my goodness! "Once." So perfect! I am seriously loving this story. I would really be ok with it if it turned AU from here and Jim porfessed his love to Pam and she left Roy and they lived happily ever after YEARS earlier than on the show. And just to give you a frame of reference, I don't usually like AU stories.
Jim and Pam have 24 hours together before he leaves for Stamford. A lot can happen when you're on borrowed time.Please, please, please finish this story. I just read the whole thing in one night, and I have to know what happens. You only have three chapters/hours left. Please try to overcome your writers' block long enough to finish this. Oh yeah, because this is a great story. I love it!
10 This was possibly the best version of "the date" I have ever read. It captured all of the awkwardness that I imagine would be there, and all of the longing and a little bit of sweetness too. I like that you said they talked about everything BUT what was going on between them. That is classic Jim and Pam. Some people like to jump to all of the fluff (and/or smut) right away, but I don't think it would happen like that. So, yeah. I think this was just about the best I've read. Well done!!!
I know I do fluff, but this is fluffier probably than any fluff I've ever written. I think I've sickened myself...but it is what it is. I'm sure lots of you are familiar with the "old navy song" -- well Ingrid Michaelson sings it and it totally inspired this sugary bit of autumn spun fluff! Enjoy and make sure to brush and floss afterwards!
Spoilers through Branch Wars --kinda
I love Ingrid! I totally thought that song fit Jim and Pam. Great job!
Mastercrap Theater! Ha, that got me! So, now I'm hooked on your Reality Reality TV stories. I should be studying European History, but it's like a drug. I have to read at least a few more chapters. I have a feeling there are going to be some fireworks!
Yes! I was soooo happy to get an e-mail telling me that this story had been updated! It's been a long time, but it was definitely worth the wait for some sentimental JAMMY goodness! I can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, Sarah! Hoping to have the next chapter posted soon. We'll see ... we're leaving for ANOTHER vacation on Wednesday next week. I'll try my best to post before then.
I'm so glad you updated this story! It's my favorite. What a great chapter! I love all the Jim and Pam snuggling, and I can't wait to see what happens with Karen!
Author's Response: Thank you! Karen's up next...
Oh my goodness! Best chapter yet. Jim and Pam were both heart-breakingly raw. I loved it! But I so wanted that declaration from Pam! Looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Thank you, SarahPlainandTall! I have decided that the laptop IS going to Hawaii with me, so I hope to get a chapter done & to the beta team at least. Thanks for leaving a review.
Yipee!!! I was so excited to see an update on this story! I like that Jim and Pam seem to be getting closer. The unison stuff was really adorable. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I hope I don't have to wait so long for an update next time ;) Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot SPaT. I hope I don't keep you waiting too long for the next chapter, either!
"Yessss!" That's what I said when I saw that you had updated this story. This was a great chapter. I really think I'm going to like Larissa Halpert. I'm looking forward to some Jim/Pam/Karen drama in the future when everything comes crashing down! Keep up the great work!
Author's Response:
Thanks for that "Yessss!" ... You really gave me a smile with that one. I hope you like Larissa. I'm kinda fond of her. :-)
The J/P/K drama is actually already written! I just have to write enough chapters to get there!
Hi there! I don't mean to nag, but I really hope you'll update this story soon. I check for updates every day, but to no avail. I can't wait to actually MEET Larissa Halpert and to see where Jim and Pam end up. So, please update soon! Thanks!!!!
Author's Response:
Hello! I promise you I am writing. I just don't have a lot of time each day to devote to it, so I am pretty durn slow. There will be more ... in the not TOO distant future.
Thanks for the nudge!
Hello there! I'm FINALLY able to leave a review for this story! I am enjoying this tale so much. It is heart-breaking and hopeful at the same time. I smiled when I saw the names of Jim's playlists. BZ Intro and BZ. How clever! I also found the description of Jim's fight with his had to be interesting too. I'm glad Mr. Halpert set him straight, and I hope they get their reconciliation. I can't wait to meet Larissa Halpert! Keep up the great work!
Author's Response:
Thanks, SPaT!
I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Yep, that Ted's a straight shooter. Someone had to set the kid straight, right?
Larissa will be a doozy when you meet her!
Aw, that was so sweet! I'm sure your parents never get tired of telling that story. What a nice way for you to honor them by giving them a cameo in your story. I hope things with Jim's mom are fixed quickly, and that his dad wakes up soon, but mostly, I can't wait to see what happens in the chapel ;)
Author's Response:
Nope, my parents never did get tired of telling that story. (They've both passed away now.)
Yes, I am going to try to wrap things up soon. I think it must be becoming tiresome for a lot of people that I'm taking so long to finish this story. So, we'll get to the chapel in the next chapter. I have one more "bridge" chapter I have to write before I get to the chapters I've drafted already. Then, I think I'll find a way to cut things off after that so this doesn't drag on for all enternity.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I do appreciate it.
10 Hey there, it's been a long time since I've read this story, but I'm back in "Office" mode again, and I came back to see if you've finished it. Unfortunately, you stopped just when it was getting good! Believe me, I completely understand that real life tends to get in the way, but I'm really looking forward to the conclusion of this story!
NOW COMPLETE!!!
"Jim, why don't you tell Pam how you really feel?"
Jim and Pam deal with the stuff that comes with being on a hit show...talk shows, radio call-ins, and press junkets. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but is that really the case? Watch as Jim and Pam deal with being in the public eye and under the thumb of manipulative network producers. The story is told through interviews, transcripts, web pages and photos.
Yay! I predict a fairy tale ending! I've really been enjoying this story. I'm not usually one for AU, but this one sort of hooked me right from the beginning. I can't wait for the final installment! Keep up the great work.
I loved that last sentence! What a beautiful and powerful way to end this interesting story. Have you really written a book about reality TV? With this last chapter you sure have me convinced! It makes me glad that The Office isn't really real, and also makes me feel a little guilty for judging the folks on real reality shows, like Jon and Kate Plus 8, for example. And if you really are "Abby," then I hope to see that story about the effects of reality TV on fans soon!
Jim's been acting a little strange these days.Wow! I feel like I was the one who was just proposed to! I can't decide which is more romantic: this proposal or the spontaneous one in the rain at exit 17. I'm also glad that in your story Pam started working at DM first. I think that's the way it really happened. I also think that Roy and Pam were engaged before Jim got there, but hey, that's your choice and I respect that. Loved this story! Well done!
Is there life and love after Jam?Wow! I literally gasped when Jim said, "Change your mind?" I so did not want Pam to misinterpret because by the end of this story I really, REALLY wanted Jim and Emily (new celebrity moniker: JEM)to end up together. So, I want to congratulate you on writing a fantastic story that convinced me to get over JAM. With all of the deeply entrenched views on the subject, it took a brave and talented writer to do that. I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait to start "New York Pam"!!!!!!
