Bio:

author of the month june 2017

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!

Yay! Yay! Yay! *Clings to JamJunkie*

I've been so excited for this, and you did not disappoint, my friend. Love the awkward conversation, and the fact that it was Pam trying to force the issue. I totally get why Jim would be reticent, but I'm sure she'll be able to wear him down eventually. Did I say 'Yay'? Yay!

Author's Response: Hee, so glad you like it! :D Thanks so much for all your support!

You do love me! You really do love me! And I loved this chapter. What's not to love about drunk Jim. I really am an angst ho, aren't I? But I love, love, love jealous Pam, and Jim's divided attention. I cannot wait for more. I must demand the next update yesterday. Thank you.

Author's Response: LOL. I\'ll work on it as fast as I can. Thanks for being supportive and such!

Summary: Set in S3, Jim and Pam deal with their issues. Other perspectives also offered from various office-mates.

Loved getting everyone's take on the subject! Especially loved Creed, he always cracks me up. Thank you!

Author's Response: You\'re welcome! I think Creed is hilarious too, one of my fave scenes is from Safety Training when they switch the apple with the potato...awesome. Creed is hilarious. And thank you for taking the time to review :)

I am a notoriously bad reviewer, but I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I am enjoying this story. Your Phyllis was dead on, and I enjoyed Jim's immensely, but this one - Creed - I was grinning the whole time I read it. Brilliant!

Author's Response: Thank you!!

I'm sorry, I thought I had reviewed this one. My favorite parts: I love that Dwight loves Fraiser, since I do too. I hope that Dwight and Angela can work it out. I adored that pairing!

Author's Response: I too am a huge Frasier fan! I think Dwight would be too ;)

I can totally see Pam trying and failing to move on after Jim left. I love that she admitted that she did really love Roy, but simply outgrew him. Of course she'll never love anyone like Jim, there's no one more perfect for her.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you agree! I've always thought that Pam and Roy must have been in love all those years ago, it just faded.

Summary: The third time they kiss, his hands are tangled in her curls and she tastes like cherry lip gloss and second chances and she giggles into his open mouth.


A look at the development of a relationship.

Wow. This was heartbreaking perfection. Thanks so much for feeding my inner angst ho.

Jim's favorite day of the week, obviously.
