Fanfic is a fun outlet for me after a long day at the office, but it's also a chance to work on some writing issues: character development, style, pacing. So thanks to anyone who gives me reviews!

Superb, as always, unfold. A polished jewel. It's tough to pick out any one moment over another, but if I had to, I would say

We are sloppy and frantic and love you love you love you against our skin

sums up that moment after "Yes" so, so beautifully. And your last paragraph should go in the Fanfic Hall of Fame.

Fantastic! This is a wonderful portrait of a character we haven't seen much of lately. It's always easy to dismiss secondary (or tertiary!) characters as one-dimensional, but here you have given Todd Packer humanity and even pathos. I actually feel sorry for the guy. And this...

it's an infomercial for something he can't make out with bleary eyes. He bets that, whatever it is, Michael owns it.

is pure genius. Yes, I completely believe Michael Scott owns everything ever shown on late night TV.

You might want to consider adding this as a response to the Sleepless challenge. I think it would fit. 

Congratulations on a fine portrait.

It occurred to her that she couldn’t get that intense a reaction from Roy if she reached out and grabbed his crotch.

:-O

I like your S1 Pam. She's not really watching Jim. Not at all. Nope.

Heh heh heh.



Author's Response: Yeah, I hope I made perfectly clear how completely disinterested she was in him. ;-) Thanks, NEJ!

Date: December 12, 2008 Title: Chapter 2: accidentally on purpose

Saturday afternoon Pam finds herself diving over to his place

Mental image of Pam in SCUBA gear...

 

It’s as if it snaps him into sharp focus, makes him suddenly, aggressively real

I like how you put this, capturing that moment of recognition when Jim acquires a sexual identity for Pam, or at least that moment when she acknowledges it on some level. That's always a tense moment, maybe because we didn't really see a moment like that onscreen that often (Basketball? Casino Night?). 

And there it is again: that sliver of skin between the hem of his t-shirt and his non-existent belt. 

Oooooo.Thank you for that image. And why is BeerDrinking!Jim so hot? Did not expect that, but he is.



Author's Response:

Oops! Thanks for catching the typo (or was it a Freudian slip, you decide ;-) And yes, that moment is tense - perhaps even a bit threatening to her, at that point anyway.She'll figure it out.....thanks again, NEJ!

Date: December 12, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: mistaken identity

She’d want to know what all of him felt like and tasted like.

Can we get that scene, please? :D

that freckle on his neck is like a forensic record of his true identity

Wow, what a great line.

And the line at the end is a real heartbreaker. Brava!



Author's Response: Kind of liked that 'forensic' line myself, have to admit. Glad you noticed. Oh and that particular scene is shown regularly in your (and my) head...am I right, lol? Thanks much, NEJ!

He’d lain with his head resting on her lap under the stars

Aw, what a wonderfully romantic image.

she’s learning him by touch

Mamma mia....!

I love the way you write that connecting-the-freckles scene--sensual and yet comfy and homey. Does that make sense? I love sleepy Jim not quite able to form words but more than able to communicate by other means. 



Author's Response: It does make sense - I think even that early on, while the physicality would have obviously felt new (even a bit shocking), their emotional intimacy would have helped leapfrog their comfort level - in other words, I don't think Pam felt uninhibited due only to the summertime or the wine ;-) Anyway, pleased a sense of that came through. Thanks encore, NEJ!

Yeah,’ Pam added. ‘Plus there’s been no creepy parental sex on it.’

 

‘Well, not yet anyway,’ Jim concluded.

 

LOL! I love this! I can just imagine their faces.

 

sleeping without him began to seem like an endurance contest.

For ALL of us...

 

‘No virgin could know how to do that thing with your tongue you did this afternoon.’

 

I think my head exploded. Yup, there it is in the corner.

 

Loved this whole series so much. I'm glad I held off until you finished it, because it arcs so seamlessly (and joyously) from S1 Pam pretending not to notice or care about a freckle, to S5 Pam claiming it for her future children. Thanks again for this lovely story.



Author's Response: Sorry about the cranial explosion (how Dwight is that?) But glad you so clearly saw the arc I intended...who knew  freckles could be so metaphorical (at least to someone as obsessed with minutiae as I am, lol.) Thank you for all the feedback, NEJ!

I started out copying some lines I liked in this, but then tossed them all out because they're all good enough to quote. I love how you have captured that mood between Pam and Jim pre-Casino Night, the sense of them tiptoeing along the edge of something, the breathless feeling when the submerged sexual tension bubbles to the surface, the hint of desperation in their flirting, joking relationship...you caught all of that perfectly. I am very jealous. :)

Author's Response: Hiya, NEJ, thanks for the love & sorry for the delayed response. The holidays, you know... I\'m glad you liked it. Sexual tension is a pain to write without being over-the-top or too understated. I\'m glad you think I succeeded. Cheers!

Brilliant, as always. You leave me breathless with envy with every story you write. I could quote every single line of this as evidence, but these really caught me:

He reaches back into his mind for those careful words he had chosen, but they’ve all vanished. He has dropped them in the woods among the twigs and the leaves. There must have been a hole in the pocket he put them in.

Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you so much for this fine story.

as he laughed and felt something heavy in his gut.

Very descriptive turn of phrase! Mind if I borrow it? :D

his resolution had been the same for 2003, 2004, and 2005, a depressing march of years... It’s only seven-and-a-quarter hours since 2006 began, but his New Year’s resolution already lies in pieces, all around him. 

Poor Jim. That says SO much about him and Pam's relationship. Or non-relationship.  I liked this story very much. You made me remember how much I ached for poor Jim. In a good way. Thanks for this story!



Author's Response: You may certainly borrow that phrase! I feel rather honored. :) I\'m glad you enjoyed and yes, poor S2 Jim.

You had me at the title, one of my favorite cummings poems. And then this...every line artfully done, and the way you tell the story of the wedding by interleaving it into their everyday, ordinary life--wonderful. Just wonderful. I applaud you.

Author's Response: NEJ, you\'re sweet. Thank you so much for your kind review. I\'ve always loved e.e. cummings\' love poems, so I was glad to have a reason to use him here.

Nummy! I like it that he's shaved and showered in anticipation of her coming home, another reminder of how long he waited for her and how precious she (still) is to Jim. And for all that I love the hot-n-heavy stuff, there's something just so sweet about her snuggling up with Jim. Can't wait to read more.

*giggle* Funny. And so true.

he cradled his hand protectively behind it.

Awww. Such a tender gesture, so sweet and sexy!

Whoa! Sexy! Me likey!

You've captured a nice, warm, sexy moment in the life of these two new lovers. Thanks for sharing it with us!



Author's Response: I like your 'warm' as a description - just what I hoped. And pleased you liked those lines...the bouncy thing (ahem) - you know, it is a strange gizmo (at least to the female eye), isn't it? Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so, lol. Thanks again, NEJ!

And "So... what are you wearing?" is just as sexy now as it would have been in Season One. :)

However, there IS a small and wicked corner of me that wanted Jim to try on some of Pam's undies. After all, if she can feel sexy and confident in baggy boxers, what would Jim feel like in black lace? :D

I also appreciate that you make Michael look like a grownup when he decides to tell David Wallace the truth. Or at least the truth as Michael sees it.  And then this heartbreaker:

He loves her and he knows she loves him.  They just didn't get the timing right but maybe they will someday.

Talk about shades of S1!
