Jim and Pam's first date, using the constraints of the 55 word challenge.
9 Very sweet and very true-to-character.
8 Adorable! I really like the last line.
Post-The Job. Pam tells us about her week. A companion to "Week's End."This one is really well-done too. I can't decide which of your stories I like best. This one's different than a lot of the other post-the-Job stories that I've read because they're taking things (relatively) slow, and I like the change. Nice job!
10 Oh goodness. This was wonderfully written. I agree with what you wrote at the beginning of the first chapter—a lot of the beginning-of-their-relationship fics are very much "full steam ahead." Those kinds of stories are great and fun to read, but this story acknowledges their respective insecurities in a way that I really appreciate. I can totally imagine Pam being nervous for all the reasons your articulated here. Great job.
9 I loved this. Very realistic. I like how you deal with Pam's reaction to her parents' divorce—the show (understandably) moved on rather quickly, but that doesn't mean it's not something that would upset/unnerve Pam for a long time.
Also, this was great:
"What if - " she brushed one of the magazines closed, her hair falling over her shoulder, beautiful in her flannel pants and his t-shirt, long as a nightgown on her.
"Nope," he said firmly.
Great job!
These are meaningless, short and simple ways for me to pass the time. Most of these have been sitting on the hard drive I've been cleaning out for the past couple of weeks (slowly but surely). Just pregnant Pam and baby fluff. They were all labeled "babytimes01.txt" on my computer, hence the name. Just vignettes, not necessarily chapters in order, and the rating is caution for later. Spoilers for the Delivery in the last chapter.9 Ah, loved this one too. You're A/N might be right--no one is this happy all the time in real life. But you're story is set up so that it doesn't matter that they're always happy in each chapter--it's not like you're trying to document every moment of the nine months. It's just little bits and pieces--you only wrote about the happy moments, and it feels totally real to me. Great job!
Author's Response: what you talked about is just exactly what i'm going for with these -- glad that's believable. thanks very much for your review. =)
If Michael Scott knew where you planned to spend your wedding night... This one's great, too, and it's beautifully written. I could totally see them sneaking off somewhere for their wedding night, and the rationale you provided was great. Nice story.
9 This was wonderful! Very true-to-character, and I don't think Jim comes off as too apprehensive. I think this level of apprehension is exactly right for his character, especially since he never says anything to Pam.
Author's Response: thank you! =)
