After the Dance is Over by girl7 Rated: MA [Reviews - 61] 57
Summary:

So this started in my mind as a little one shot (cue mocking laughter).  Of course it expanded to a little more.  It's pure speculation on my part, and is probably quite off.  :o)

Beautifully angsty but yet hopeful chapter.  How do you manage to keep writing such excellent stories!  I just can't get enough! (TWSS!)

You described the reception so vividly I felt like I was there.  (And if I were there I would have been cutting in on Jim and Karen!)  Great chapter - love Michael playing cupid.

Poor Jim - Pam's finally trying to say how she feels and he thinks he is being rejected - again. Wonder what everyone at the reception thought of them slipping away?  Lovely chapter!

What a wonderfully hot happy ending.  I sure hope we get to see something similar in S3!!  Sorry this story is over, really enjoyed it!

"I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name." - this cracked me up!  Great chapter, gotta love Creed!!

Author's Response: He's a rich source of humor and, apparently, love advice...

Poor, poor Toby.  You did such a great job of putting his thoughts and feelings to the sad face we see on the show. I wanted to reach through your story and give him a  big hug. Oh, and the advice he gave Pam was great.



Author's Response: Toby gets no love in the office and I wanted to see him have a meaningful interaction with Pam. Glad you liked it!

I can't wait till Jim and Dwight are back in the same office, I just know they miss each other!  Cute story.

Author's Response: Thanks kaystar! There's nobody in Stamford who Jim can play with like that, is there? I hope he's back sooner rather than later.

This wasn't good advice - this was EXCELLENT advice. Oh how I'd love to see something like this on the show. 

Author's Response: Me too! Don't you love how I rushed the merger along?! I'm so freakin' impatient! Kinda like Jan!

Date: October 03, 2006 Title: Chapter 1: Phyllis

I loved this chapter - it totally sounded like Pam and Phyllis.  And I felt so badly when Phyllis said her true love was killed.  Sniff.  But my favorite part was Pam skipping out of work to drive to Stamford... 



Author's Response: Mine too! If only we could alter reality, eh?

Date: October 17, 2006 Title: Chapter 4: Ryan

Yea for Ryan - telling it like it is!  And I loved his line that he might drunk dial Jim about Kelly some day.  Too cute!

Author's Response: Right on, kaystar! We'll make that boy Jim do the right thing somehow. Thanks much for reviewing!

This was so cute and sexy and even funny. I chuckled at the reason being he liked her new skirt.  Very nicely done!

Author's Response: Thank you so much!!  I figured a new skirt was as good a reason as any to get these two together:)

This was fun! I too loved that Kurt was never allowed to try jello. And how cute that Pam and Jim still play by the unflinchingly rigid rules of Jinx!

Author's Response: Rules are rules kaystar!  LOL!  I'm glad you liked it.

How cute of Dwight to turn on the flashing red light to race home to get some cookie. So like him. And I loved Kurt and Janie's conversation in the car. And Kurt's "Fact" before each statement - acorns don't fall far from their trees!

Author's Response: There's got to be a reason to put up with Angela's bitchiness. ;)    And yes - Kurt can't escape that household without picking up some of his parent's traits. :)

Reading the newest and last chapter tonight was like running into an old friend you hadn't seen in a while, so happy and bubbly - and then the friend leaves and you never see her again. Now I am sad that the story is over.  But what a great idea and what a great job you did with it! I love sweet, squishy, fluffy happy endings for all generations!

Author's Response:

sweet, squishy, fluffy, happy...that's me in a nutshell!!

Thanks kaystar!

Wow, what a great story! I found myself holding my breath as I read it, I was so afraid the person following her was Jim and that she was married to Roy. Whew! This really was delightful!

Author's Response: HAHA! Then I did well! I wanted you to believe it could be Jim. But alas, 'twas poor Roy.  =-) Thanks!

I loved this "He used to rescue her from people who made her look like that.  He wonders when he became that guy". Glad they were able to move from that to the hotness of #5! 

Change is Good by Binxbaby Rated: T [Reviews - 23] 21
Summary:

This follows most of the episodes from a different standpoint, adding more Angst to already Angsty Pam and Jim love story. If that's even possible. Pam is obviously unhappy and she begins to see things different with each passing episode.

I think this was my favorite Pam line ever - "This was tough. I suggested we flip a coin. But Angela said she doesn't like to gamble. Of course by saying that she was gambling that I wouldn't smack her."

Author's Response:

I loved that episode. The Party Committee and Angela's iron fist rule is hilarious. Ryan was even drafted to it...lol.

This  line made me laugh out loud - "She had just opened a big can of crap"  I've never heard that expression before.

Reviewer: kaystar Signed
Date: October 16, 2006 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6:Sexual Harrassment/ The Fire

You write the best lines!  This one was fantastic - "Pam wanted nothing more than to staple stuff to his bald head."  And the "bitch" Pam said after she answered Katie's call was hysterical!  And this - "Pam frowned as she watched him walk to the stupidly cute car with the annoying red head who just won't call his extension directly" was priceless. I'm loving these chapters more because there is more of you in them now.

If only she had told Jim she wanted to run away with him - or at least recognized her growing feelings for Jim. Sigh..

Author's Response: I think she did realize she wanted him but she saw the cameras and got scared. DAMNED cameras! =-)

Date: October 16, 2006 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The pilot

This chapter brought back happy memories of the beginning of my lovefest with The Office.

Author's Response: I love the pilot. I came in during the end of Season 2, but went back and brought the DVDs and instantly loved the show.

Reviewer: kaystar Signed 10
Date: October 16, 2006 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Before the Cameras

Great chapter.  I absolutely loved this line - "Most mornings, when she wasn’t contemplating suicide by paper product, she was thinking murder by telephone cord"



Author's Response: Somedays I feel like that at work...lol. Transferring my own frustrations to Pam.
