Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. So so many great things about this chapter...
<>The way that Karen and Jim parted ways amicably. I know that in an earlier chapter I might have sung a Cartman song slandering Karen, but I'm glad she went out this way.
<>Pam grabbing his ass? Go Pam!
And any fic that can slip in the word parseltoungue is a-ok in my book!!
<>I caved and wrote a post-Cocktail fic that can be best described by Jim's Talking Head from Season 2 Ep 6:
Fight! Fight! Fight! FIGHT!
Okay, please tell me that Pam knows some stuff about Jim. Because I never thought about that, but it's a real possibility. Although I think she would have to know some stuff. Hurry, hurry, type fast!!!
Author's Response: Oh... she does ;) Hope you like it!
And, Ow. Cracked me up.
I can see how all the history would teach Pam where to hurt Roy.
It may be a bruise on the surface, but it goes deeper than that.
Young Pam/Roy and then spoilers through Cocktails.
Oooohhh, angsty!Jim. I like him. "Yeah. It hurts." I like how "Yeah." is a sentence all in it's own. Great story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm glad you liked it.
“Pam? Well, we are more like acquaintances now. She does her own thing and I do mine. It’s best this way if you think about it,” Jim said into the camera.
Pam is leaving Dunder Mifflin. Where do Jim and Pam stand before her departure?
That was really good. I could see it going that way. I hate to admit it, but I could. Can't wait for more!
Yes, please continue. But please, give me a little fluff. I need an infussion, stat. Seriously, I am loving this, and am dying to see where it goes.
Oh, please keep going! I can't wait to see how this whole Paris/Scranton thing plays out.
I really liked this. I enjoyed the lyrics in between the text. And I laughed out loud at your review request!
Author's Response: Thank you! Reviews really do mean so much. I'm glad you liked the lyrics- hopefully they set the mood I was going for.
Oh. My. God.
::::picking up jaw from floor:::: Where oh where will this go. Awesome secret!
Pam takes care of Jim after he'd been hit by Roy. Takes place after "Cocktails".
"Thanks for fixing me."
Officially one of my most favorite lines EVER!
Now this is interesting. I'm intrigued to see where this goes!!
Author's Response: Thanks....um, me, too....I haven't worked the whole thing out yet, so, gulp, let's hope it keeps coming, and nothing too horrible happens.............
No, Jim can't leave. They have to get their stuff together. Can't wait for more!
Oooh, parking lot sex. That was fun. I could see them doing that, with all that pent up desire going on. The only thing that I wasn't sure about was how much Jim was called/ referred to as Halpert. I only occasionally hear her refer to him that way. But otherwise, it was great! Can't wait for part III
Author's Response: The Halpert thing is my little indulgence, I guess. I find it adorable when she does it. Thanks for the kind words.
THINGS ARE HEATING UP!
Imagine if Jim and Pam didn't meet in the office but instead when they were younger. Reunited by the Scranton/Stamford merger with respective fiances in tow will they fall into their old pranking ways? Will Jim fall in love with Pam even though he's engaged? Will Karen be really as into Jim if he's head over heels in love with her? Will Pam go through with the wedding after being reunited with her childhood crush? Stay tuned to find out!
Love your chapter end notes. This has such a promising beginning, I can't wait to see how you play it out.
Author's Response: I hope I can live up to the promise. I anticipate a real friendship for them, the kind we all wish we had
This is really getting interesting. Karen has got to go. So does Roy!
10 Okay, you need to drink and write every day. Your characterizations are spot on. Michael's movie quoting was just hilarious, and I loved hearing how just plain horny Jan is. Love anything having to do with Darryl. Creed and Meredith, good stuff. I really love Kelly and Ryan, and I know he loves her, I just know it. And finally, Dwangela. That was perfect. Above the sweater action!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! I pretty sure my liver would end up hating me though. Ryan absolutely loves Kelly. You can see it all over his face in Branch Closing. And as for the above the sweater vest action- you can chalk that up to me not aving the cahones to undress Dwight. *Shudder* Thanks for reviewing!
Fluff of the fluffiest order. Jim and Pam move in together. Set in S3 (fingers crossed) LOL! NO SPOILERS AT ALLI am in the process of catching whatever illness these people I live with have been passing around, and all I have to say is, I SO needed this. Loved every single word :)
Oh Jen!! Get well soon!!! So glad I could help!
Before, during, after (peas, waffles.) Post-Cocktails...but no fighting.I think I may be in love with you. Seriously, that was so freaking hot, I just have no words. The theme running through her head "This is Jim" was amazing, and, and, and, I have to go read it again.
Your fic was so bad it was good, like a cabbage patch kid is so ugly it's cute. Loved it!
Author's Response: Yes, the Cabbage Patch Kid of Fanfic! that just may be this story!
Post "Ben Franklin," pre "Phyllis's Wedding." AU in the sense that...well, things go differently here between Jim and Pam than they went on the show.
This is what I'd wish for.
Also - this is a completed story.
Oh God, the elevator analogy sounds like something the bank I work at would come up with. Seriously, they told us to wear our nametags to the mall because the CEO had hers on in Dillards and someone asked about the bank. So yeah, that is painful.
I liked Jim reflecting on the warmth in Karen's eyes.
And I was so excited to see a story from you tonight. So unexpected. And so finished. I need me some instant girl7 gratification :) Onto chapter 2!!
Heh - I took that straight from a customer service thing at the hospital I onced worked for (which was, truly, hell on earth). And yeah - so short, so finished...so unlike me, eh? :o)
THanks for reviewing!
True Love - choosing misery for herself over causing Jim misery. So true.
Isn't it, though? Although unfortunately, I'd say that right about now (on the show), they're choosing to make themselves miserable -- and us in the process! :o)
Thanks for the review!
Okay, I haven't read it yet, but I laughed out loud at your authors notes at the beginning. Just because if you image that actually happening...pretty effing funny.
Oh, that was just so good. I love her having this place to go and he found her there. Loved her confession. And the email. That was a good fix, Thank You!!! You are so my fic dealer.
For some reason, I always feel compelled to make the disclaimers funny (or to try to, anyway), and I have no idea why that is. :o)
So glad you liked this, really - and you are such an excellent customer that I'm happy to be your dealer!
"That was festive." I love that line. I am going to be incorporating it into my daily vocabulary, if that's okay. Onto chapter 2!!
Author's Response: Feel free! Glad you liked it. Thanks, Jen!
10 I had never been a Pam/Ryan shipper, but this just blew me away. The concept was so original too, that they were acting. I enjoyed it!
Author's Response: I wouldn't call myself a Pam/Ryan shipper either, but for some reason the idea got into my head and I just had to write it! I also feel like a lot of "reality" shows are staged to add drama so I thought it could be an interesting twist. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reviewing :)
I honestly don't know if you should write more or leave it at this. On one hand, I would love to read more, I have really enjoyed this. On the other hand, we can kind of see where this is going, and Jim *did* just tell Karen he loved her, so this is going to be brutal. So it's up to you what you feel like writing. I will read and enjoy it if you do, and I will be satisfied if you stop here. Was that vague enough :)
