Bio:
Hi! I'm a relative newbie to the Office fandom, but I'm loving it so far! I was introduced to the show in May of 2008 by my friend Hillary with "Diversity Day" and "The Dundies," which while being two of the best episodes of the early days of the show are possibly the two worst to use as an introduction because of their stark difference to anything else on TV. Over the summer, I watched a couple others on planes that I really liked, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching season 5 as its episodes were released. I went back and caught up on what I'd missed. I knew it was an obsession when I went through the third season in four days (two of them school days).
I've known fanfiction for a while, and I stumbled on here for the first time in December. My greatest loves are writing (aspirations to be a Creative Writing major), my friends, mixed-berry Jam, Jim's pranks, Dwight's Dwight-ness, walks through my hometown, bubble baths, the Daily Show, Gilmore Girls, differentiation (yeah, the math kind, I kid you not), Brahms, Disney, Scripps College, and Jane Austen.

Okay, I realize that this is my first time reviewing, but I've been following this story for a good six chapters now, and I LOVE it! It's usually the first one I re-read after an episode that severely lacks everyone's favorite couple. Anyway. There were a few typos in the beginning, and Jim's spoken line is "I just--can't wait," not couldn't wait. It doesn't really matter, I just thought I'd point that out. I loved everything else you did, though. You're completely spot-on when it comes to writing Pam, and I love the side comments. I know you only have one chapter left, but, should these moments occur while on the show, d'you think you could maaybe update when they get married and/or have kids? Just a thought. Can't wait for the next update!
Summary: Post "New Boss.". Pretty fluffy, with a wee bit of angst. Spoilers for NB, obviously.

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for this! It definitely cheered me up...clearly I'm not the only one feeling the lack of Jim/Pam moments. And hopefully things will work out...I'm really interested to see where the show goes after this.
Summary: Post-Two Weeks. Jim drives home.

Really, really good start! I honestly can't wait to see where it goes.... I'm interested to see where the show goes, too.
Summary: I just love the idea of Jim and Pam and them having a family so I just write the situations as they come to me. Most likely they won't be in any chronological order, but just as I think of them. Plus, I don't think we'll get to see much of this, if any, on the show - which is okay, because it's about the whole office and not just them...but still, a look once in a while would be nice.

Squee! So cute! This is such an adorable story...I love it! Yeah, it's mostly fluff, but somehow it feels like there's a little bit more to it, you know? I think you've nailed Jim and Pam's characters, and I love Olivia!
I dunno if you've got parts of the story planned out already or what, but d'you think you could maybe do a story taking place at the beach? I just got back from a trip with some friends, and I thought about how much I'd love a story about that! Anyway, I look forward to an update!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I don\'t have anything planned specifically, I just have a few different ideas that I have started working on for the next chapters. And it\'s funny you mention something about a beach, because that may be coming up soon :)

Oh my God, forever CONTINUE this story! Loving every update! Is it weird that I find older Jim kinda hot? Like, in the way that one would find Hugh Laurie hot.... And as a teenager whose Mom is turning fifty soon, the idea of having another sibling is really...*shudders* So I see where the kids are coming from.
And thank you for a truly wonderful break from studying. Unfortunately, my schedual prevents me from any writing/editing of my own, but reading is quick and lovely!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I think older Jim is hot too...and HUGH LAURIE! I\'m so glad someone feels the same way I do about him! I wanted the kids reactions to be genuine so I am glad they came across that way.\r\n\r\nI have finals coming up in the next two weeks so I know how you feel! I am trying to focus on that but all i want to do really is write JAMmy goodness!

Even though it's now probably AU, I still really love this story! Please continue it! The kids crack me up -they're so great and original. And yes, the girls would TOTALLY play a name game. I'm a little confused about the timeline...exactly how old was Olivia when they found out Pam was pregnant again? And how old are the boys in relation to the girls?
Keep up the fabulous work! And, I'm not gonna lie, the fangirl in me loved seeing the full name "Madeleine Halpert"...(not that even if they existed I would ever, ever, ever, ever consider or even want to consider doing ANYTHING to screw up that relationship)
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing, I feel bad for kind of putting this story on the back-burner while Jenn and I work on \'Letters\' but I have a couple chapters close to being done so I will post more soon.\r\n\r\nI know, I hate that it\'s AU now! But I knew it would happen eventually *Sigh*\r\n\r\nJust an FYI since you asked: Liv would have been 19 when they found out Pam was pregnant and home from college for the summer; Jackson is supposed to be 17, Gavin 13 and Maddie 10.

Aw, I loved this one! Short n' sweet. Very sweet. Just to be clear, what's the age difference between Liv and Jack? In the early chapters, it was three-four years, but in later ones, it was only two.... But I really enjoyed this one, it was realistic, fluffy, and just plain fun. JAM's always in character, and I love the kids you've created for them!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review :) I like the short and sweet stories, I think they\'re my favorite to write. I checked my notes just to be sure because I always plan their ages before I write the chapters and the difference between Jack and Liv is 2 years, the difference between Jack and Gavin is 4. I checked past stories, which ones did it look there was 3 or 4 years?
Summary: A continuation of the Jim and Pam's main event from the Season 5 finale.

I grabbed my friend. My mouth fell open. We started flailing. I screamed. I covered my mouth and screamed. And then, I wanted to cry, but somehow couldn't. I was too busy laughing. I re-watched it over...and over...and over again. I'm still grinning. I can't stop.
Oh, and I LOVED how you wrote this. So clear, so concise, so beautiful. It was exactly like the moment...nothing explicit, but it says EVERYTHING.
And this is one of the many, many reasons why we love The Office.
Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! I was going for explicit because that is what the moment was - perfect, in little words. Look out for more chapters!
Summary: A kind of prequel to my first fic, The Igloo. Jim and Pam have an unwelcome guest in their house and experience a first.

I thought I had reviewed this before, but apparently not. Anyway, absolutely loved this...angsty, realistic, so well done, with a little cuteness for good measure. I honestly can not wait for the other installments!
Summary: Set in S3, Jim and Pam deal with their issues. Other perspectives also offered from various office-mates.

Huh. Really interesting AU take on everything...I really like it, especially chapter two with all of the minor characters. They're all so well-written. And this is an entirely plausible sequence of events that I could see having happened in the series. I love your future stories a tad more, but you have a knack at doing past and present/episode-related stories, too!
Author's Response: Thank you! I was wary about some of the minor characters, I wasn\'t sure how well I could capture some of them, but I\'m glad to hear that you think it worked. And don\'t worry, I\'ll be getting back to the future stories soon, just had to get this out of my system first :)
