I enjoyed this so much! I'm pretty new here, and I can't seem to register at the forums, but I saw there that you had posted this and I knew I wanted to read it right away. So sweet and adorable. :)

Author's Response: Welcome, Swampy Jo. Thank you so much. I think one of the moderators disabled the new sign ups because we were getting spammed like crazy. I'll ask what you should do to sign up over in the "Memos from New York" - Questions about the Board and maybe they will post an answer to tell you how to join. Hope you can become a new member in the forum.

Loved this! I feel like we got a twofer - an "After Hours" fic AND a "Niagara" fic. Lovely. Thank you!

Author's Response: Thanks! I never did have Niagara fic, and thought it'd be fun to incorporate it here. I'm really happy to see that you liked it! :) Hope to hear from you again for future chapters.

Loved it! I've really been enjoying this story - love the way you expand on the episodes. Very nice job!

Author's Response: Thank you so much, it's so nice to hear that you're liking these! I hope you'll continue to let me know your thoughts as I post updates. Thanks! :)

You ARE a superhero! Able to turn mediocre episodes into awesome fanfic with the wave of your mighty pen. Spin move! /Dwight

There are so many good things to say about this, not sure if I can name them all. I really like the idea of them talking later about Jim's dissatisfaction with his job and his options. I think that would be a great final season story arc for the writers to pursue.

Another great chapter - I'm so glad you decided to continue this piece!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much! That's so sweet of you to say! I watched Jim's facial expressions a lot, and he just looked tired and nearly fed up throughout the episode, so I think that Pam napping would have sent him over the edge to angerville at least a little bit. He did seem really unhappy with the office in general. I (hope) next season they'll explore that a little bit and show some sort of character growth. I mean, I totally understand why he's still in that office (No Jim, no show, pretty much) but yeah... I think he's had enough. Or is getting closer to it. I'm really so thrilled that you've been enjoying these, thanks so much for taking the time to let me know! :)

Date: March 17, 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Insane two year old stalker is crazier than a crazy beet farmer.

I continue to enjoy this story so much. Because of it, today I asked my (very verbally delayed) 2yo if he could be good. He shook his head at me. I asked him if he could just try to be good - again, a head-shake, accompanied by a very emphatic, "Uh-uh!" So. Obviously, you write a very realistic 2yo, lol. I loved this chapter and all its warm fuzzies. You do such a great job capturing Jim and Pam's voices (I think I just said the same thing in a review of "By Your Side" - sorry to repeat myself.) Now - if you can make something pretty out of "Get the Girl" you will be a superhero. :)

Author's Response: I hope things become more positive for your son! It's weird how I"m able to write a 2 year old realistically, since I don't have any kids of my own, I only have baby sitting experiences from 10000 years ago to draw from. I'm really enjoying writing this little family and Cece, so hopefully I'll manage to continue doing so. I really appreciate the kind review, thank you so much! :)

Love, love, love! I'm so glad you're still posting - and that you're working with some other authors. I've almost been desperate enough to try writing something myself! :) Honestly, this continues to be made of awesome - thank you for sharing it!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for letting me know that you are still enjoying these! I worry when I post the steamy stuff that it won't be right, so I appreciate all the feedback. I hope you continue to stay tuned, I have something special planned for the finale. :) Thank you!

I don't know how I didn't see this story before, but I just read all 8 chapters - I'm enjoying it so much! Oh, if only Season 3 had REALLY gone this way....sigh. Doesn't seem choppy at all to me, and you seem to really have Jim and Pam's voices down well. Thanks for all your awesome writing! :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for this lovely review! I'm so happy that you liked it. I'd been worried about it being choppy because I'd been away from the story for so long. Thank you so much for all of the support, I'm so happy you liked this story! :)

This is one of the first JAMfics I ever read, but I realize now I never reviewed. I think it's absolutely beautiful. Heartbreaking and cruel and terrible...but beautiful. I just love it.

(Incidentally, I still can't join the forums - boo. I saw there's some kind of facebook group, but the link just takes me to my fb homepage - maybe it's not meant to be. I feel a little creepy - like some weirdo looking in the window at you all, but I can't help myself, lol. And I'm not sure why I'm telling you this - maybe I just needed to confess, heh. I'm saying a lot of things! /Pam )

Author's Response: Thank you Swampy Jo. Sorry I'm so late in responding to this, I'm not in the archive much anymore. I asked the administrator about the joining thing, but i think they disabled new members because they were getting so much spam/trolling. Obviously, that's not you, and I am sorry about that. Anyway, your comments are very much appreciated. You're not a weirdo, you've just arrived at this place as it is winding down.

Summary: Part of the Memories are made of this series. Set a few days after season 5, "Crime Aid." The day Jim talks to his parents and decides to buy their house.

Yay!!! I want to write an eloquent review, but the sight of all the new stories on the homepage has left me speechless. This was awesome. Thank you for posting it! I've probably mentioned a time or three, that I just LOVE your Jim. Let me just say it again. Love him.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to review, and I'm happy to know you're enjoying all of the new stories. And I'm really happy to see that you like the way I write Jim. That's really important to me to get down right, so thanks for that! Hope to hear from you again! :)

Hooray! Love it so much! I am so happy tht you and your partners have started this project - it's awesome. :)

I can completely and totally relate to every single thing Pam is feeling in this one; sometimes it's so hard to be a woman! I love Jim for loving Pam and knowing just right things to say.

And - bathtub lovin' - woohoo! ;)

Author's Response: Thanks for reading :) I'm glad you liked it. As for the bathtub thing... that was where the whole story started from, and I just had to figure out a way to get them there. hehe
