Bio:
Thank you all for helping to make 2009 an excellent year for me. You have no idea how much your comments and support have meant, and I hope to parlay that into a fun and exciting 2010!
In November 2009, I signed up for the NaNoWriMo challenge and began writing my first original story. It is now a full-length novel called Contentment. I hope to be able to publish it this year, fingers, toes and yes, even legs crossed. I never would have had the guts to attempt such an undertaking without you, dear readers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I now have a website of my own: www.margaretethridge.com. I plan to use it as a place to post my original stories as well as some of my fan fiction. I hope that you will stop by for a visit!

This was wonderful! I can't believe its your first story. I loved this little glimpse into their lives. You have a way with detail that makes it so easy for the reader to feel a part of the scene. Thank you for sharing it!
Author's Response: You\'re welcome, and thank you for your review! I always like reading those one shots and wanted to give it a try myself, I\'m glad you liked it, thanks :)\r\n
What if Jim hadn't been able to get the card back during the Season 2 Christmas Party? What if someone reads that card? What if that person isn't Pam?
Some S2 angst and drama.

I really enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to more. Dwight's log was cracking my up. Excellent work!
Author's Response: Thanks! I've only written Dwight once before and it's fun to try to get into his head. I appreciate your review. Thanks and I hope the rest of the story doesn't let you down.

Excellent job! I'm still cracking up over Dwight's interrogation. I can't wait to see where you are going to take this!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your help and for reading :) Dwight is totally awesome to write.
Date: June 25, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Lay It Down
Of course, you already have most of my comments on this chapter, but just let me say that I love how raw and honest they were with each other up on the roof. I could feel their pain and confusion palpably. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much as usual!
Date: July 13, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: All That's Within You
So much to love in this chapter. First, I love conflicted Jim, and his inner thoughts and jumbled feelings were spot on. Second, I was so happy that Pam asked for help making the bird coffin. Jim's reaction to each brush of her fingers was spine tingling. I hope that we get to see some of this unspoken awareness from Pam. I like how Pam is fining more and more courage to be straight forward with Jim and letting him know that he is important to her. I can't wait to see where you take us next!
Author's Response: Thanks hon!

Man, I want to bash Karen over the head with that teapot. I actually felt my heart seize a little when it went flying out of Pam's hands. Pretty sad, huh? I'm fairly pathetic that way.

Aw, I loved Jim's thoughts leading up the the kiss. Really liked the story about Rebecca. Great work!

OMG! How did I miss this??? This is a great start! I'm off to read chapter 2 right now! Oh, don't mind the puddle of Jim Goo i left behind, I'm sure it'll follow me eventually.
Author's Response: OMG coming from you this review makes me so happy. Thank you so much. Glad you liked it. Jim as a Daddy is HOT, right?
Date: May 28, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: You Complete Me.
I love it! Seriously, i cannot wait for more. I hope that Jim tells Pam about Ellie soon, I'd hate for that precious baby to be a reason to keep them apart.
Author's Response: Eeeeeeeep glad you like it. Thanks so much for reviewing, it means SO much to me. Pam will find out about Ellie soon.... maybe lol
Date: June 30, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: As The Story Goes
Wow, what an interesting backstory you wove for Chloe, and heartbreakingly real. I liked how once Jim started talking, it all poured out of him. I was reading it as if I was hearing the rush of words. Loved that Pam was holding his hand by the end of it all, and that he called her out on it! Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, that is exactly how I pictured it when I wrote it. Like once he started talking, it all just came out of him, as if he\'d been holding it inside for so long and now that he\'s talked about it - he can\'t stop!!!!\r\n\r\nYou\'re awesome, thanks!!!
Date: July 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 6: It's all about the woo!
Aww, this was so sweet. Jim was all nervous and self-conscious. I loved that pam was more sure of herself and what she wanted, and more blunt with him. It was a refreshing change! Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you SO much for your comments babes, means a lot!!!!
Date: August 12, 2009 Title: Chapter 7: Getting There
I am still loving this story. Now how about letting these two crazy kids practice their lip reading skills on each other? Love how Ellie responded to Pam, and how Pam was the one to reassure Jim. This is great! Now get back to work!
Author's Response: Yes Boss =) *opens word*\r\n\r\nHeeeeeee thank you so much for your review, from you that makes me :D\r\n\r\nWorking on the next part tonight, I wish I wasa faster writer grrr :)

This was absolutely fantastic. i don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad that I stumbled into it now! Each character's voice was dead on. I laughed out loud at Kevin's part, it was so perfect. And Ryan watching Jim and Pam together, incredibly hot! Thanks for writing!

Okay, the first paragraph was incredible. I haven't even read any further yet. I just wanted to say that.
This was excellent. I love getting a peek inside of Jim's head, and you did it wonderfully. Thank you!
Author's Response: Aha I love it when I have to stop reading to say something in the review so I don\'t forget, so I\'m very happy I accomplished that (: And thank YOU for reading!
Yet another post-The Job story, covering the week after the first date, and some fallout.

Wow. Sad chapter. I hope that they'll realize that there's really nothing wrong between them and be able to talk it out.
Date: June 06, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: Saturday, May 19, 2007
I love that he admitted that he came back for her. Whoa. Karen showing up at the door. I didn't expect that, nice twist. I can totally see Pam needing to get out of there. It would be just too embarrassing.
Date: June 06, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Friday, May 18, 2007
I liked the progression through the day, but I wish that we had gotten a little more. I did like that Pam acknowledged that her relationship with Roy was real, and it wasn't all bad.
Date: June 06, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: Thursday, May 17, 2007
Okay, I'm late, but catching up. Let me just say that I really loved the way that Jim owned up to treating her badly. I also liked that you had him have a little attack of conscience at the end. Off to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks. I think Jim probably had a lot going on his head at the time and I can see him being conflicted.
A little flirting between Jim and Pam during the Fun Run walk.

What if our favorite Dunder-Mifflin branch was located in Stars Hollow instead of Scranton?

I had to laugh when I saw this crossover. I was a bit skeptical, but you did a great job with it. I had to laugh when Michael called Jess Fonzie. And Jim lowerin Michel's stool? Exxxcellent!
I'm trying to set my Luke love aside long enough to visualize the Lorelai-Jim set up, but that is very difficult for me. Over all, though, I have to say that I look forward to more. Nothing like having your two favorite worlds collide!

This was delectable. I love how befuddled Jim was in the beginning. Pam's serene calm was the perfect foil for his nervous excitement. And crawling from the bed to cover her injured foot? Well, I'd have his baby for that... Just don't tell my husband, okay?
Author's Response: Not a word. *zips lips* Thanks for all your help and support!
