Summary: Past Featured Story

This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well.  I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.

This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters.  My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

I know I'm probably way behind on this, but if there's more PLEASE let's have it! What a great, beautiful story. Oh, and could you please take over the part of writing Jim's brother(s), rather than the shoddy job the actual writers did?

Summary:

I decided to write a sequel to Charcoal & Watercolors !!!!

The story picks up right about where Charcoal & Watercolors left off -- Jim and Pam's wedding. Then goes from there into their future. Jim still works at the advertising company and Pam works (exclusively) at a publishing company where she is an illustrator of children's stories.

I added a few more characters ;) and am planning on keeping almost all of the characters from the previous story.

Enjoy!!

I just read this whole story and I love it! I love how their marriage is so real. They're not blissed out all the time, they have their issues, but no one is talking divorce or anything. Great job. Please update, I want to know what happens next!

Summary:

What would have happened if Jim had been a little later getting back to the office?

Okay, I really want to see what happens next.

Author's Response: Funnily enough, I was just thinking about this story the other day and wondering myself. The ending was sort of a surprise even to me (I didn't know exactly where I was going with it when I started), and it's actually a little similar to what they're currently facing on the show, so I'm curious to see where they go with that plotline.

Summary: Jim must deal with a family crisis.  Pam helps him to get through it.

Congratulations! So glad to see this continuing (even if I did have a preview). Seeing Ted's frustration and Jim's as well was very intense.
And when Ted pulled out his vent tube? Oh my word... poor horrified Jim.
I'm really looking forward to what you have in store. This is a great story, both in the presentation and in the concept. So well done!

Author's Response: Thanks so much, ivy!  You are always a big help with the presentation!

Date: August 12, 2010 Title: Chapter 38: Famous Pam, Infamous Pam.

Not sure if I mentioned this in the beta part, but I think it's a really brave choice to have Larissa be doubtful of Pam before they meet. Gives the reader something to look forward to and presents a strong opportunity for character growth (sorry if that makes no sense; early morning, didn't have tea yet...). I also really like the different perspectives you show in this story. I hope to see Jim and Pam through his parents' eyes soon. Seeing Larissa's perspective change when she realized how much Pam had been supporting Jim just made me want more.
Random grammar nerd fact: did you know the expression is actually champing at the bit? I know, weird, right? Makes NO sense. None.
Anyway, loving the flow of updates, keep 'em coming.
Oh, and yes, Jim, first cousins once removed? That's just - not right.

Author's Response:

Wow, you are actually more of a grammar nerd than I am!

I DID get the first cousins once removed right, though!  Not many people know that!

Thanks for the review.  Hopefully (also bad grammar!) you'll see a draft soon.

Finally! After all the misunderstandings,the back and forth, the pain, the everything... it's so good to see them finally be HONEST with each other. And when they finally began to touch, really touch, after all that resistance, it was lovely and truthful, not all Harlequin.
And I loved Mrs. H. calling at the end. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or panic. Is there a problem or is it something else? Looking forward to finding out!

Author's Response: Thanks for your help on the first part of this chapter. As always, your insights made for a MUCH better product!

I absolutely adore this story. You've got a great balance of angst/humor/sadness/hope. I'm so eager to see what happens next. And I hope the Halperts get to meet Pam. There are so many places for this to go.

Author's Response: Thanks very much for the kind words, ivy!  Everybody will meet Pam, for sure.  More coming up in a few days, I hope.

Summary: AU...Pam is new to Scranton, but she connects with an old friend.

I'm not a writer at all, but I am loving fan fic, and totally obsessed with JAM. I have read so many stories from this site, and the ideas have just been flowing.

Summary: Past Featured 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.

Date: January 27, 2011 Title: Chapter 1: I could make you happier

I think the part that got to me the most was Mrs. Halpert asking how long and Jim saying "forever."

Or, wait, is it Halpert or Anderson? I'm sort of vaguely imagining they have different fathers because I can't really imagine Jim Anderson or Roy Halpert.

Anyway...

This is, obviously, such a different take. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with the story and how it's resolved, given all the complications.

Author's Response: Imagine away, totally up to you! Their last name is Halpert though. I could never get over that Pam Anderson line.

Summary: Scranton, Pennsylvania, home to 28-year old receptionist, Pam Beesly. Pam’s array of plain, button-down shirts, drab skirts, and clunky boots make her bright and artistic personality fade into the background. Her coworkers have called in stylists Clinton Kelly and Stacy London to inject some life into her dreary duds, but will Pam be able to deal with the price of fashion? It will be style rejuvenation as Pam learns What Not To Wear.

Set in between seasons 3 and 4, so general spoilers for season 4 apply.
