I don't know if this means I'm a dork, or the Jam!angst is just getting way too much to handle, but I read this in my college library and I was this close to tears.

This seems like the good, healing sort of angst, though; because something about it excudes this they're going to get through this sort of air, and I love that.

I cannot wait, at all, for an update! Get your writing skillz in gear!

Oh, but tiny suggestion? Get a beta reader. It's definitely more readable than most unbetaed stories, but the major English freak in me would like to point out some punctuation stuff here and there.

Yeah, otherwise, pretty great, still. =P

I don't very much like how you make them dance. =P

It's making me cry. Seriously. I thought the angst aspect of Jam was covered pretty well in the show, but this is making things ten times worse, and maybe I'll watch the next few parts of Jim/Pam angst storylines on the show by reminding myself that he's not engaged and she doesn't have a Jason and they're still in the office. 

I am crying. God. One thing that made me smile, though? Kelly! Ryan! AW.

Cannot wait for an update!! WOO. This is ahhhmaazzziing! 



Author's Response: As sick and as twisted as it is, I actually wrote this to make myself feel better. Now when I watch the show it's like, oh well at least Jim's not engaged and Pam's still in scranton. Sigh- it's the little things right :)

I don't think I can say exactly what about this I ended up loving to bits, because everything put together made me me smile. I loved the last bits, though, when everything with him and her, from her being thankful he's backlit, and telling him not to tell her anything when she's done, to 'the answer will be yes' to getting rid of those darned shoes.

And I adored his hand tightening, and his thumb brushing across her wrist, because imagining that, just...wow. They're taking a step closer, and that little gesture just makes the entire thing seem so completely intimate and...I adore it. I really, truly do. 

Loved this as much as I love most of your other stories. =P Thanks for posting this!



Author's Response: Thank you for such a supportive review.  As for the thumb across the wrist thing, I seem to have a weakness for that particular motion - it's simultaneously innocent and so intimate.

Loved this; I couldn't stop smiling: especially those last two parts? The second-last I loved because of the mention of her shoes, I love that she wants to fit him better, even there's no real need to. =P The last one made me grin till my teeth hurt. Jamie Halpert, a mix of Jim and Pam, would be a regular Dennis the Menace, certainly! Aww.


Author's Response: I didn't even think of the whole wanting to fit him better, but that is a good point! So thanks! And yeah, the ending was kind of spur of the moment, (the other four parts had been planned out like a month ago) but now I have all these little tiny plot bunnies dealing with the Halpert clan, so I'm not sure thats the last we've seen of him, but remember he has a sister too! hehe :-P Thanks for the review!

Date: March 13, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Five Times the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin Went Drinking at Poor Richard’s

I've been known to get drunk on orange juice, actually. What can I say? It takes very little to keep me satisfied and smiling. Ahem. I'm not drunk: I think I just had a little too much sugar today. Or maybe Kelly's rubbing off on me. 

What I loved about this one - I was going to choose my favourite, but I'm going to have to settle for, uh...#1, #2, #3, #5, and...yeah, #4, too.

OK, the first two are particularly amazing because oh, Meredith!: I love how you got her 'background' in, in so little, and made us feel so sad for her without even saying SheIsSoSad - subtlety, yes. 

And the Death of Tom! She tries not to take it too personally when he kills himself two days later. is PainfullyPhyllis, a little punch to the gut. One of the few times she takes a chance and the guy kills himself.
[I love the character you've given Tom, here, too; he's just a name with a depressed background on the show, but you've added a certain something to this that I can't put my finger on...I loved it, though.]

The others - the freaky Angela-ness of the third one made me snort and shudder a little, as only Angela can do [her sweater will definitely need to be dry cleaned], the Kelly-ness of the fourth one is scary because I do seem to know what Kelly would say [oh, dear], and I loved the last one - the hint of Jim/Pam aside [as J/P always makes me ridiculously happy], but Andy saying you're my Diane? Made my night. I can imagine him circling like a shark smelling blood in the water, being overly nice to her, her, who is so drunk she doesn't even seem to care. 

Awesome.  



Author's Response: By all means, be effusive. It certainly made me happy! I'm glad you got "You're my Diane"! Yay! Thank you so much for your detailed, thoughtful reviews. You are helpful AND lovely!

You'll say three - no more, and we'll get five or six. Not that we'd complain, that is. Of course not.

The phone call with Kelly was pretty much one of the most entertaining things I've read, ever - I loved Dwight glancing down from the roof as if he could hear her, and - OK, the thought of Jim holding the basketball in his hands and making a Jim!face with his shirt untucked is - sort of nice. =P

Other than that, and a compliment towards your excellent music taste [I'm beginning to think that comes as part of being an Office fan, actually, because I don't know any fans who have lousy taste], I've really got nothing.

Whatever you end up doing, a kiss would be nice, at the end, because as much as I loved Dark Distant Places...darn. 

Update quick!  

Reviewer: moofoot Signed
Date: February 23, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I meant DistantDarkPlaces.

OK, rereading this - I really like what you've done with Pam's POV. Everyone's thinking it but no one's written it [other than on TWoP, but that's not counted] until now. Roy had her fooled for a little while, and that would hurt her, definitely. 

Reviewer: moofoot Signed
Date: March 06, 2007 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4

You are a tease. I think I may have cursed you, though, by saying you would probably exceed that two-three-chapter limit you'd set yourself. Darn. 

Loved this; them so tired they're falling asleep, but there's something in them making them want to stay up - imagining them with droopy eyes and faint smiles is amazing. And I love Pam opening up, slightly, because God he needs to know so many things. 

You realise I literally can't wait for the next chapter, so. Jumping a little now. In my seat.  



Author's Response: Yes, moofoot: I am a big old honking tease.  I totally cop to it.  :o) And yes, he does need to know so many things, doesn't he?  I wonder if we'll ever see her just lay it on the line...  Thanks for the review!

Reviewer: moofoot Signed
Date: March 09, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

I can see traces of that hug all over this chapter, but feel free to take that as you wish, because I couldn't [literally couldn't; my eyes shut automatically] watch this episode right more than once or twice. The Jim/Pam bits.

I loved the way she kissed him while he was still asleep, how disoriented and lost he was, before he was jolted back to reality. 

I can't stop smiling yet, and I'm still feeling a little woozy with the after-effects of reading something so promising, spirit-lifting...so I'm just going to be quoting a couple of lines I particularly loved:
Jim tried to deflect attention from the things he did for her.
How true! In direct contrast with Roy, this is obviously more evident, but you can't help but notice he doesn't make a big deal of anything he does, especially for her.
Anytime Jim said "No.", because imagining him saying that, looked dazed, disbelieving, completely genuine = too much to handle. 
And this is silly, but when they went Kelly at the same time? I could hear them say it, see them say it, and I cracked up. 

Alright, truthfully, I loved a lot more, but I'd be quoting everything right back at you, which wouldn't make sense because you know what you wrote, because you wrote it!

Yeah, I'm up really late.

I can't wait for more of Only!! The brilliant-fluff of that fic never, ever fails to put me in a good mood. Or a sugar-high.



Author's Response:

Wow, your first sentence was so great to read; I'm really flattered!  (And my husband had much the same reaction to the PLoD scene - when I wanated to re-watch the episode right after it aired - which is usually what we do - he was shocked, saying it was too freaking sad to watch again.)  And thank you so much for such a thoughtful, detailed review; it's always nice to hear what specific aspects people liked.  For the "no" bits, I had a few things in mind -- one, the way he looked both in "The Convention" sitting on the bed next to Michael, and of course, in "The Return" when he said the "Yes" heard round the world.  But I was also consciously trying to sort of allude to the CN/GWH dialogue, with Pam's assertion that she wasn't drunk (as a counter to the "Maybe we're drunk") and with Jim's saying "Me, too" in response to her saying she was glad it wasn't too late. 

Glad you're looking forward to more Only, too!  Thank you so much for this review!

Damn, I feel so bad for Karen now; I need to read a KarenisaBitch fic before I start shipping more of Jim/Karen. God. I love how you've written her, though; realistic, she's not a cardboard character [although for this I'm willing to credit the brilliant writers and Rashida, even though I've started to really like Rashida] on the show, and it carries so well into this story.

"All this time I thought you were a
good guy": freaking devastating, especially since I know that she knows he is - it's just that he's an idiotic good guy. Really, really stupid, insane; a typical guy.

And I loved this line, maybe particularly because it reminds me he is a good guy, maybe because of the comparison [but I think there's a bit of a similarity, there, too, because Pam doesn't cry in front of the guy who hurt her, like in Back From Vacation, but she cried in this story just because there's too much to hold in...huh. I'm going to stop here before I go off on a tangent.]:  
He didn't really know which was worse: seeing Pam just let go, or witnessing Karen as she struggled so hard to keep it together.
And I love how he found it so difficult to break up with her, feeling guilty, feeling off. Because as much as they'd want a happy-ever-after...

Just a huge, huge idiot. twss.

It's strange, for all that we complain about you dragging out a story, we really read everything and can never wait for an update. [Are you working on Only? I need a girl7preparedFluffFix.]

Can't wait for an update, like I said. ;)  



Author's Response:

moofoot, your reviews are always so awesome - thoughtful and specific and so much fun to read. I'm glad you liked Karen here; I've found that when I write her, I do tend to write her more sympathetically...probably because, much as I want her out of the way (like YESTERDAY), I don't envy her.  ...Or poor Jim, because yeah, I do think he's the kind of guy who would really carry a lot of guilt for hurting Karen (which he should, to a point - should've taken care of things during the five nights of talking!). 

Anyway, thank you so much for yet another terrifically thoughtful review. 

BTW, I haven't gone back to Only just yet - other than to jot a note about a wedding present idea I suddenly had for Michael to give to Pam - heh - but as soon as this one's done, I'll get back to it.  It's funny because I wrote a huge chunk of Only (the Jonathan heavy chapters when everything hit the fan) one weekend when my husband was out of town - just sat writing and posting for the entire weekend.  He's going out of town for all of next week, so I figure that's a sign for me to get bakc to it, maybe finish it.  :o)

Smut? Yes, please!!! 

This chapter is making me ridiculously happy - I think the effect of this is different than your other fluffy-aftermath-chapters because - OK, I don't know. I was going to say it's because they've acknowledged they love each other, but that's happened in other stories, too, and I was going to say maybe they both have had their fair shares of setbacks and changes, which makes more sense, but uhm. >< I've lost my train of thought. 

I loved this, though; the way they interacted, and talked, and looked at each other, they were just so much more - liberated, I think. When Jim/Pam get their crap together it's going to be wonderful and that's what's got me still hanging in there.

You can't take this long for an update, now! The prospect of smut is keeping jumping in my seat.  



Author's Response:

I'm really glad that you found this different; I readily acknowledge that when it comes to coming up with creative premises for my stories, I totally suck. :o)  And I believe, too, that when we finally see them together on the show, they'll both be just so much happier and - as you say - liberated.  And we shall all squee until we damned near die.  :o)

Thanks for reviewing!

Actually I loved a lot of it. And my little shipper heart squeed at the end. Took them freaking long enough!!

Awesome!

And I simply adored Sarah's story on when they knew Pam fell in love - gorgeous, and real, and oh, such a mom. I mean, the rapid-raft story was great, too, but - anyway. And her there's an and was freaking perfect, and - wow, her mum is awesome

OK, words cannot describe, at all, how much I freaking love this fic - I would like things to go down this way [TWSS!] because the call and the voicemail and the fight, bloody hell.  

And can I say that Kenny coming out of nowhere and yelling JET SKIS is pretty much the most brilliant, lovely, awesome thing I have ever seen? Jim going what the hell? who are you? made me snort-laugh. 

I love this, seriously. To unbelievable amounts. And I can't wait to see where you're going with this in the next chapter.  



Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much! I was very nervous because I'm never written a fight before. And I was really hoping that the Kenny thing worked because Kenny was like my favorite part of Cocktails. I loved how he just immediately started trashing the bar with Roy and I was like, "God, I hope he shows up to kick Jim's ass and starts screaming about jet skis." So yeah. Thanks :)

Reviewer: moofoot Signed
Date: March 04, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Truth

Alright I read this with a slightly clearer mind and I love that Jim is charged at from every direction and he is just this pillar of confusion, not knowing what the hell is happening. And I also love that he starts off his call angrily, but that energy goes into being protective, even though he's still mad at her. Awesome. 

And I like the conversation; it reads well and you can imagine all of them saying that, voice inflections and all. I liked Jim going Karen, mockingly, irritated, not in the mood to talk to her [he has reason to be irritated with her, but he doesn't realise that yet =P], I loved that - these two are not going to last.

The Dundies and Casino Night confusion conversation, especially, was great - you've gotta be fucking kidding me! - HALPERT!! 

You really are awesome. If you take longer for an update, though, I'm going to have to find out your [e-mail] address.  



Author's Response:

HA! Oh my gosh. Yes! Any review that ends with a threat like that is a great review in my book.

Thanks so much for rereading! I felt almost bad for inundating Jim like that. Super glad the Casino Night/Dundies confusion worked for you. I'm also glad that the conversations rang true, and I know that Jim doesn't usually turn mocking against people he likes, but he's done it to Pam before (ex "like your thoughts and feelings") so I thought it fit :) Thanks!
