She was using him as a life raft. 55 words on the perilous relationship of Jim and Pam.
10 1. I *love* that you used a title from a book NEITHER you have read. That's just so cheeky!
2. That was the best example of Gestalt poetry I've ever seen. Kudos to you both.
3. I think the fifth line should be (if there was one):
After she smacked him in the mouth for leaving her, all was forgiven. ;-) But that could just be me.
Yay!! (and is this review longer than the actual story??)
Yes, actually, it is longer by about 20 words. Hee. Thank you very much! (bel actually owns the book, but "cheeky" is about as good a description of the pair of us as any I could think of). Her reply to my original line was so pretty, I couldn't resist. - lis
Oh my gods lis, you counted! Awesome. And awesome review, too. I intend to read the book, if that's good for anything. Heh.

10 I fear for Karen & Ryan as the new boss-team. But I'm dying to get to the art show!! (Jim's insistence at being there at six is SOOOOO s2 Jim. hurray!)
Yay for Sharky writing being back!!! :-)
10 Yay! This is soooo sweet and good. And don't think I didn't notice how Jim orchestrated getting everyone to her art show. ;-)
10 Yay - I love Lichtenstein, so I knew what piece you meant! :-) And I love that they are back up on the roof...
Good stuff. Very good stuff. :^)
10 aww....I half-expect Jim to come in for an afternoon nap. ;-)
Nice, nice job!
10 This is really fun, and I'm looking forward to where Pam's little assistants lead her next. Of course, I'm rooting for Devil. ;-)
Author's Response: time4moxie! Sorry, I'm a big fan of yours. I too am rooting for Devil, and I'm pretty sure she's going to start convincing Pam of her point of view on the beach. Thank you for the review.
10 I really like how you filled in the blanks of the Pam/Jim beach scene. Totally believable. Great work!
Author's Response: Thanks, it was a really tricky thing to do and I re-wrote it a whole bunch of times. I'm glad that you found that it was believable. Thanks for your review time4moxie.
10 Very nice ending. So glad I waited until the whole thing posted! :-) I didn't believe you'd keep them apart forever.
A first fight and a bowl of make-up spaghetti. (No spoilers.)
10 Well, I read it again, hoping I'd have some clever to say this time. But I don't. Just know that it's really, really good. :-)
Author's Response: 'Really, really good' works just fine for me....and you save that cleverness for the next chapter of your fab WIP, missy! Thanks Mox!
A really good, believable peek at Season 4 - I look forward to more! :-)
10 For a story with supposedly no plot, it's been a great read so far! :-)
Author's Response: lol thank you!!!!
10 oh! I hope the next scrabble words are 'honesty' and 'attraction' and 'satisfaction'. Just saying. :-)
Author's Response: yeah I think you've got the right idea ;-)
How Jim became a 28-year-old virgin.
10 Like I said to you earlier - I think this is a fun set up to explore the potential past of Jim Halpert. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you!! And thanks for upping my star rating, too. :o)
This will just be a series of short vignettes about Jim and Pam getting to know one another as they start their adventure into true coupledom. Embarrassing moments, phobias, guilty pleasures....the truth comes out.
10 Oh! These are so fun!! I look forward to more. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks Moxie!!! So glad you liked them! More to come soon! :-)
10 Now that was sweet and fun and all sorts of happy things. :-D
10 Very sweet - and a great, funny, story! And yay for continuing the Jonathan mythology!!! :D
A glimpse into the instant messaging history of Jim and Pam. Written with the intention of expanding on what we see on the show, as well as to tie up some loose ends. There will be a conversation for each episode through Season 3.
10 Loved these last two, though the thought of Roy needing to use the computer made me immediately think it was to download porn to take with him to the poconos. ;-)
Hope things are going well for you in Japan!! Wishing you home internet, pronto!!
Ha, but let's not forget Pam said she only skied "a little" (ew, don't wanna think about it).
I can at least now hook up my computer to the school internet, so that's an improvement over getting error messages in Japanese, bah!
10 I think this chapter worked well. And to be honest, it would be perfect human nature that he relied on this earlier conversation with his sister to convey this thoughts to Pam at the beach. Really looking forward to the happier emails though. Are you going to continue through season 4??
Pam had learned two things from her years with Roy. Speculative for season 4, unspoiled.
nqllisi!!!!
Are you trying to kill me?! Seriously. I expect more from you. ;-)
I'm not even going to let myself dwell on the fact that it's quite a moving image. (no pun intended.) And of course, well written. Instead I will be just pouty for your attempt at turning my universe inside out. :-P
11 The Scranton Business Park is holding a charity auction, and Michael makes it mandatory for all the men to participate. Set sometime after Season 3. This was inspired by some comments on TWoP in the "Series Wishes" thread.
10 haha! So well played! You just know that Pam is too competitive to have let the other girl win Jim. And of course it was his cousin. Very, very fun! Thanks!
10 Now this would be an awesome episode!! Can't wait to read more!
10 Nice comparisons between the first engagement and the second. And I find it funny that she'd feel the need to run back to talk about wedding things - seems very happy!Pam... Nice work!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, moxie! Your review means a lot to me.
You'll see why she has to talk to Jim in person in the next chapter. It's a bit of a big deal.
10 oooh - I'm all for eloping!! Let's just try to avoid Sandals: Jamaica, okay? We don't want Michael stealing credit for the idea somehow!! ;-)
Author's Response:
Yes, I think we've seen and heard enough of Sandals Jamaica (on the show and in License to Wed).
I have the perfect spot picked out.
Thanks for the review!
Not what you think!
10 Aww..... that's really sweet. I love it. :-)
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing. I'm glad you liked it!
Jim and Pam try to find their way back. Hopefully without a national audience. Spoilers up to The Job. 10 Awesome. Just completely awesome. A great combination of Jam and the working in of the documentary crew. Loved it! :-)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I can't wait to read the new stuff you've posted recently. Yay for Moxie!
