An Office-based parody of The Princess Bride.You must've had a lot of fun writing this one, because it was a lot of fun to read!
Author's Response: I did - I\'m glad it showed! Thanks, EJER :)
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
Not too dramatic! We all know that our JIM would NEVER let PAM fall...
Sometimes you just have to try new things. A Pam/Ryan story that is more about Pam/Jim than you would think.
I laughed so hard at the line from Dwight! How funny!!
A series of vignettes centered around clichés, but with a JAM spin.Fantastic! Adding to my favorites in hopes you add more to it!
"...dressed in a simple dark shit..."
HAHA Might wanna fix that one!! =)
Ideas for Cold Openings (the pre-title gags) always pop into my head. So these will be just a bunch of teasers that, hopefully, you will find funny. I don't know how many I will post but I'll keep putting them up as they occur to me.
I loved them all!
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks! I'm glad the "Cold Openings" worked for you. Hopefully I'll have a couple more before the season premiere. Thanks again!
O M G - I laughed so hard at the Creed line at the end of this!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! That's a funny coincidence, the other day I was thinking about "Employee With-holding" and that line in particular. I love having Creed say the oddest thing at the oddest time. Thanks again, I'm glad you got a laugh from it!
Ok, so you HAVE to finish this up!
I enjoyed "My True Love Gave to Me" and was pleasantly surprised to see you had continued with it. I see it's been a while since you updated it and I just hope you haven't forgotten about it.
You know... When something is good, one can't get enough.
So, get crackin' on the next few chapters and post them.
P.S. What's her ring tone??
Author's Response:
There is NO satisfying you, woman!
I'm thinkin you won't find out her ring tone for a while. So secretive I am.
WOO-HOO!!
Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped up about the new chapter. I found it to be an interesting read and told jslasb that I would molest Jim in my sleep on purpose because I'd fake sleep. *sigh*
Post soon! I'm itching to find out what happens with them (and Karen).
Author's Response:
Now, that's just BAAAD! Pretending to sleep??
Well, I did post soon after this. I just missed your review. As always, thanks for taking the time to leave a note. Reviews are like mega-vitamins, you know!
Happy Birthday to you. Did I mention that it's my birthday, too? Well, it will be in 8 months and 6 days... I look forward to an update ASAP.
Congrats on the new job, too.
Author's Response:
You had me going there for a moment!
Thanks.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks!
So, uh... Yeah, I think it's time for an update. How's about a 5 or 12 chapter update? Not being pushy or anything, but if you'd like a visual as to how I'm feeling... Picture "Beach Games" - more specifically, picture Stanley vs. Jim in the sumo costumes. You are Jim, I am Stanley. Not pushy, just sayin'... An update would be ... er, wonderful (and possibly in all of our best interests).
Author's Response: Um, how did I miss this? I'm workin' it! Really.
Ever get that sense of deja vu? Ever get that feeling and LOVE it? There was a time a few days ago where something happened and I'd really love to experience some deja vu with that moment. Wanna know what it was? It was when I clicked refresh (almost constantly all day - although that part I could live without) and found an update to this story. So, how about it???
Author's Response: I'm trying! I'm trying! I have the structure of the next chapter set out and am starting on the text. But next week I am going to Pittsburgh for a relative's hip replacement surgery. (She doesn't have any kids.) Not sure how much writing time I'll have. There may be a lot, there may be none. Depends on how successful the surgery is and how stable she is afterward.
Glad I gave you a giggle...
Patience never was one of the virtues bestowed upon me. PLEASE don't make me wait much longer! Sunday is almost over!!!
Author's Response:
Patience was never one of my virtues, either. I actually took Patience as my confirmation name because I thought it was a virtue I needed to work on...
See, when I promise with a specific DATE, I come through.
Wait! Stop... What's that sound? Do you hear it??
I do believe that's the sound of angels singing praise!
I look forward to reading it and I hope those following chapters are soon to follow.
Author's Response:
Oh, you made me laugh with this one, EJER. :-)
Later tonight...
This is the first fanfic I've ever read. A friend of mine sent it to me a few weeks ago because she understand all that medical jargon and I can't pronounce half of those words. In any case, we have both been checking back to see if it's been updated. We're heavily pondering what's engraved on Jim's ring!!! POST A NEW CHAPTER SOON PLEASE!!
Author's Response:
Well, welcome to the world of fanficdom, EJER! I feel honored to have "been your first." ;-)
You'll find a LOT of wonderful stories on this website if you poke around a bit. I keep promising to update this story but always manage to find other things to do rather than write. I have a good bit of the future chapters written already, so if I could just get the next one done ...
Oh, and please thank your friend for passing along my story!
So, when can we expect this new exciting chapter full of interesting things??
Author's Response:
Not for a few days ... my Young Blood is coming home from Africa today!! What a great Mother's Day present, yes? I think I'll be a bit distracted for the next few days...
Thanks for leaving the little nudge. I'm framing the structure of the next chapter. Still writing, I promise! I'm not just letting it sit...
One word... YAY!
Two words... UPDATE SOON!!
Three words... KEEP IT COMING!!!
Two words... OR ELSE...
One word... Kidding.
Author's Response:
One word ... THANKS!
Two words ... NEXT WEEKEND!
Three words ... YES I WILL!
Two words ... OH REALLY?
One word ... OK
Um, YAY!
I could be blunt and say that it's about time that the story was updated.
I could be kissing up and saying that what you've added was everything I could expect and I'm aching for more.
I also could be very grateful that miracles can occur because after I got your message after eons/months of waiting, I seriously did a celebratory happy dance.
So keep up the good work and get to writing!
Author's Response: Yeah, you would've known a long time ago that the story had been updated if the notification feature was working. I think you've missed the last coupla rounds of updates. I'll be writing...
WOO!
All I can say is, "IT'S ABOUT TIME!"
I was starting to give up hope.
Now, let's see the next update soon!
Author's Response: Hey, there! I wasn't sure you two were still out there in MTT-land. Look for the next update sometime late next week. I already have feedback from two of my betas ... just waiting for jazzfan to weigh in and I'll start on revisions.
You *know* where my vote is on the "to bring or not to bring the laptop with to Hawaii" debate...
Yay on the update!! Pretty happy to see them together this chapter - even if it was an emotional one - especially because it was an emotional one. Jim and Pam are nothing without emotion of some kind.
Did you really say that there was one more chapter before their 2nd night together is posted? *sigh* FINE, I guess I can wait, but may I make a small suggestion? Those pants he bought are cheaply made and I'm in favor of them ripping and being nothing more than just - material. So, he could either use it as some kind of weird loin cloth or he could just sleep a little closer to naked.... *I'd prefer the latter.*
Just a thought!
Author's Response:
A loin cloth? What, am I writing The Last of the Mohicans or something? :-D
Two votes in the laptop goes to Hawaii column. Thanks.
HAHAHHA YES, a loin cloth. Might fit some people's fantasies; not necessarily mine, but I'm just saying... SOME people's.
In any case, I can't wait until the next couple of updates because loin cloth or not... Jim in (or out of) anything is pretty hot. *HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA*
Question: Once you get the new chapter on, does that mean you'll add the other chapters you've mentioned that were done right away, too? Because that would be lovely...
Author's Response:
Well, no, to tell you the truth. There are probably a few chapters before I get to the ones that are already written. I'm trying to beat the block, though.
Thanks so much for pinging me every once in a while. It means an awful lot to me to know that there are people out there actually waiting for the next chapters. Truthfully, I'd have thrown in the towel by now if it wasn't for you guys!
