I've recently become an avid lover of The Office, and Jim/Pam in particular.
I'm interested in pretty much anything that has to do with them. ^_^
I do write, but only after I've done extensive reading in the fandom first, so don't expect anything from me for a while.
Other fandoms include (but not exclusive to) Alias; Veronica Mars; House MD; Lost, and other general televised debaucheries.
Also, TWoP rocks my socks (marry me, Sars!).
cheers.

A night of reading fanfic gives Pam some courage...
Response to the Internet Fanbase Challenge.
okay, the idea of Pam sitting in her room reading fanfic made me die a little.
So sweet.
Thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response: thanks for reading. haha. i love the idea of pam reading fanfic. specially curled up in pajamas with wine. it just seems so perfectly pam. except for ya know, the fact she is a fictional character (i have to keep reminding myself of that!)
Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.Hee.
This is seriously amusing me to no end.
Thanks!
cheers.

Author's Response: I'm so glad! Hee, thanks for commenting.
*laughs*
I love this sequence of dreams and nightmares, and the way that they are reoccurring.
But I actually think that Creed would have trouble remembering his dreams...or maybe that's the only thing he can remember...
Anyway, thanks.
cheers.

Author's Response: Thanks, glad you liked it!
“I get it now, she’s everything I’m not.” She says as a few tears slip out from beneath her lashes. His subconscious realizes at this moment that she’s unconsciously mimicking a line from the Royal Tenenbaums, one of their joint favorite films. When he replays this conversation in his mind later, this will break his heart.
oh my GOD.
no, seriously, HOLY CRAP.
Is this what it has come to? Not that I don't love it when Jim and Pam argue (because I do), but this is just heartbreaking.
Please please update soon.
Thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Oh good, Lord. She's gone and now he's seeing how much he'd messed up.
I really like the way that this is going.
Thanks!
cheers.

Another story telling the aftermath of "Cocktails".
I'm impressed!!
I've read several post-Cocktails stories, but I like that this one leaves almost just as much unresolved, but there's hope there.
Thanks so much.
cheers.
--Lex
*guh*
That last line just hits the proverbial nail on the head, doesn't it?
But the question is, is it the final nail on the coffin or is it what they need to snap out of this angst fest?
I LOVE that she's angry. She's got a right to be angry.
Anyway, thanks so much for this.
cheers.

Story formerly known as Spring Cleaning. When he realizes she's asking him a serious question there is not even a moment’s hesitation before he answers. “Sure. What do you need?” Future fluff. Spoiler free, non-fat, as light as airy spun sugar. ;)
Target!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE Target (and I know the secrets to their sales. My old econ professor used to work for Target and used it a lot in her examples). I will sometimes go twice a day.
This story is ADORABLE. And I LOVE Singin' in the Rain (Whaddaya think I am? Dumb or somethin'?). Seriously, that song is great (though I personally love "Good Mornin" the best) and I can see Pam enjoying it. I can also see how Roy would have confused the song. But yes, Jewel was more appropriate for them.
And Jim's need to one-up Roy is petty, but it's real.
To put things simply, I love you for writing this. And for giving me the hope for more!
*hug*
Thx.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
Target sales secrets??? I'm afraid to learn them. I'm already in tons of trouble when it comes to them.
I picked the song because of the title mostly - and the whole ladder thing...and just because I'm a sap.
I'm so glad you liked it.
Oh good Lord.
FLUFF. How I've missed thee.
I actually love the idea of pointing out Jim's flaws (his in particular, because we kinda get a lot of Pam's). He's still a guy, afterall.
But the idea of him freaking out about spiders had me giggling really hard...right as my boss walked by (I gotta learn to stop reading stuff @ work). Brilliant.
Seriously, there's just so much love here.
Thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response: Hee! Thanks Lex! (did you get my last email btw?) I tried to make Jim flawed yet lovable. Glad I succeeded. Thanks so much for the review!!
Pam experiences heart break over and over again.
Holy Formatting, Batman!!
Darlin, I think that the story is great. You might just want to go back and make sure it doesn't all look like one big run on sentence.
Thanks!
cheers.

All the lights are changing red to green. From denial to truth in an enclosed space. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. okay, I won't look at those single bathrooms the same way again.
Still kinda gross, though.
Hee. I love this story. And thanks for making it so that it takes them five hours in a tight space to FINALLY working things out. It's so them.
Thanks. A million times over.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
You're welcome Lex! Thank you for commenting!
Okay, I can SO hear this conversation actually happening.
Poor Jim. In such denial. And it does seem like Ryan's the only one in that office that knows what's going on with everyone all the time. I'm just reminded of that scene, where Ryan, Pam and Kelly are writing out the wedding invites and he's like, "You're inviting Jim?" in that "Are you seriously that stupid?" tone of voice.
Lovely story, as usual.
but I'm taking the time in this review to be completely pathetic and ask you if you'd be interested in being a beta reader for me? You can totally say no, and it would be cool (I know you're probably busy with a million other things). But if you think that you can, could email me @ amalia_kensington (at) yahoo (dot) com?
Anyway, thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
EXACTLY my thought process in this. So glad it came across and that you enjoyed it.
And psst - check your email. :)
Michael’s leaning forward on his elbows, staring at her across his desk. “That was definitely heroic and, if I may say so, romantical of you. Well done.” While he shoots her what is meant to be a congratulatory grin, Pam stares down at the teal glass shards in her laps, still clutching the ice pack, trying desperately to pretend that the tears have stopped.
Post-Cocktails.
I have to say that I really like it when authors make Jim and Pam fight. Because I really do think that it's the best way to kind of...cleanse themselves of all that negative angst.
The way that you're handling the story is very realistic. Because the truth is that pride is a HUGE factor in most people's relationships with one another, and pride makes us stupid 100% of the time.
What I'm trying to say is that this is awesome. And I love the fact the title is a Lifehouse song. I always thought that it was appropriate for Jim and Pam's relationship.
Thanks.
cheers.

It was a night of love and romance on the high seas. Such a pity that the Booze Cruise went up in flames and sank to the bottom of Lake Wallenpaupack.
A crossover with Gilligan's Island...because I have no shame. And I can't do justice to X-Files.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, this is like the BEST IDEA EVER.
hee. *hums the theme*
thx.
cheers.
--Lex
Pam moves to New York for 3 months and finds herself
I'm really looking forward to seeing where you're going to take this.
Thanks so much.
cheers.

“God, Jim. There’s been an…there was an accident and…Roy came back and he got upset and…God, he shot Della Jim, Roy shot her.” And suddenly Jim’s not even breathing.
WHAT?????????

Post The Negotiation (no spoilers).
My attempt at working it all out. This will span ten chapters and will include flashbacks to previous episodes/seasons.
Oh, holy hell.
Okay so, I have to tell you that both of them remembering what it was like to sleep with each other was almost as hot as the act itself.
Also, the idea of Wet!Jim is making me drool.
And them FINALLY coming back from the brink and just.....FINALLY. It's seriously such a relief and it's making me giddy. Do you get that? you made me giddy.
Thanks so much.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the remembering part - I just kept thinking that, were I in Pam's position (so to speak, of course) I would totally be unable to think about anything else. As far as wet Jim is concerned...shameless of me, totally shameless. :o) I'm thrilled that I made you giddy! Thanks for reviewing!
Good Lord, this is just so PAINFUL. Exactly like glass actually. Because sometimes when the glass shatters in shards so small that sometimes you don't even discover them until days later, when you're wiping your palms on your pants and suddenly there's a searing pain caused by something you can't even see.
You've captured all of that so well. And I really do think that it's almost as if Jim's just given up on Pam. I'm not sure there's a good way to bring them back from that.
Thanks so much for this.
*hug*
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
See, this is why I love you people and your reviews: You guys oftentimes point out things in such a brilliant way that I find myself going, huh...wow.
And trust me: It was a personal mission for me to find a way to bring them back from the edge on which they're so precariously teetering right now.
Thanks for reviewing!
See, now, I'm literally holding my breath.
Because WOW.
Please don't let me turn blue in the face.
*sigh*
I'm glad that Pam's finally realizing just how much Jim put himself through. The question is whether or not she's that masochistic. Because Jim had to be to put up with all that.
There's argument about being the bigger person and just wanting the one you love to be happy, and then there's Jim and Pam, who I'm beginning to wonder if they get off on this level of angst.
I hope not.
BRING THEM BACK FROM THE EDGE!!!
hee.
thx.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
Oh my god - I hope you're not all blue now! :oD Your review made me laugh: "I'm beginning to wonder if they get off on this level of angst..."
Maybe they don't, but the writers damn sure do! (And okay, I thought it was heartbreaking and sexy when JK just stopped talking and leaned on the vending machine. Guh.)
Working on bringing them back, I swear!
Thanks for reviewing!
*lets out a shallow breath*
duuude.
Okay, this chapter was filled with all kinds of most glorious angst, but I can't get past what Karen and/or Jim will explain how they broke up: all because of an episode of Ally McBeal. I know it's not all about that, but I can't help but think it.
And also, I have to say that as ridiculous as that show was, it's got some really AWESOME lines.
Anyway, I can't WAIT for where this is going. Because Jim can only be righteously indignant for so long...someone's going to have to slap him. Please let it be Angela or Kevin.
Thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
Yes - that show was freaking ridiculous at times, but there were some awesome lines. And RDJ rocked when he was on there.
Someone's gonna slap him - heh, maybe it'll be Stanley!
Thanks for reviewing!
Oh no!! Jim, just drop it!!!
Oh, but I seriously hope that there's a screaming match between these two. It looks like it's what it's going to have to take to get their feelings out.
I probably shouldn't love anger this much.
Hee.
Thanks!
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
Oh, I would pay serious money to see those two have a screaming match - they totally need to. The season's not over yet.... :o)
Thanks for reviewing!
oh my God, could this possibly get more painful? I mean, seriously?
All board the Jam train, next stop: Angstville. Full-time smut service on board all cars.
*HUG*
Thanks. Bring them back!!!!
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response: I'm snickering at the train metaphor. But yesshh....smut, angst. Happiness and fluff are the next stop, though. :o) Thanks for reviewing!
*grins*
Oh yes. Nothing beats angst like a little nookie. Hee.
Seriously, how is it that you're so good at this? Always leave me satisfied and smiling.
twss.
thx.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response:
Jim Halpert is my personal love slave. We walk through these stories all the time just to make sure they sound good. I know, it's a tough job, but I do it for you guys. ;-)
Seriously - thanks for the love. I can always use some!!
Jim gets fussy and Pam gets fed up.
Spoilers through The Negotiation.
okay, everyone say it with me:
"Awwww."
But seriously folks, thanks so much for this. I like that Pam would get angry with him too, because Jim is just walking around like he's the only one that got hurt that night. He needs to slapped around a little bit in order to realize that there are two sides to this story.
Again, thanks.
cheers.
--Lex
Author's Response: Thanks Lex! You are such a great reviewer. I always look forward to reading your feedback :)
Hmm..this is interesting.
Honestly, I'm just tickled that the title is from one of my favorite Beatles songs.
Thanks!
cheers.
