This was hilarious!

Some of my favorite parts...

Michael buys a "puppet that looks like Ryan when he wanted to be a ventriloquist"

"Angela pulled her head out of her notes, eyes skimming the area, and her face looking like a peeved off Persian."

Jims whole convo with Andy.

And the end, definitely the end. I'm assuming they are buying a puppy :)

Summary: Last holiday season, Jim found his True Love. This year, it's his turn to pull a few surprises. A follow-up to My True Love Gave to Me - and yes, Parma's back!

I really love this series, I could read it over and over again and never tire of it.
If you were ever to come back and write again I hope it would be to complete this story. Just 4 months left and hopefully an epilogue.
In my mind he proposes on New Years and her wedding dress will be the same dress she wore when she revealed herself as his true love, only she'll have her friend Abby make it in white. And for a wedding gift she'd have created some sort of scrapbook that would include both of their 12 days.
I just wish I could read all the amazing details you'd include to complete the story.

I love this one so much! So many fics are Jim jim jim and conveniently forget about the pain, struggles, and breakthroughs pam went through. Thank you for this!

Also, this...
“Come on, Pam. There’s no way you didn’t know. Everyone else did. It wasn’t easy to find a way to say it. And I was never that kind of guy. I wasn’t the guy friends needed to worry about when it came to their girlfriends, and you were someone’s fiancee!”

So true... and yet he expected her to be that girl.

Wow! I really really loved this.
I found the structure of this story fascinating.

While I absolutely loved the 'first date' section it is a close second to the 'make up' section. That was so perfectly written.

This is one I’ve come back to many times. It will always be a top favorite. (As are a few others from you.)
But what I wouldn’t give to have a companion piece written in jims POV.

Summary: AU...Pam is new to Scranton, but she connects with an old friend.

I'm not a writer at all, but I am loving fan fic, and totally obsessed with JAM. I have read so many stories from this site, and the ideas have just been flowing.

I haven’t read it yet but OMG IM EXCITED!!!

Read this new chapter now, it was so great! I’m definitely going to have to read this one from the beginning again to refresh my memory. Glad you’re back :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I re-read it and cringed at the little mistakes here and there, I need to go back and fix it sometime..lol - but I do want to finish it up first. That's what happened about 6 years ago, I was making corrections and also did 3 new chapters, I lost 19 & 20 somehow! I got a puppy around the same time and just got busy again. I always fall back to fic when I watch the office on netflix. I'm determined to finish this.

I can’t believe I missed this update but I’ve just had so much going on lately!
First I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that the story is being continued, this and another of yours were always a couple of my favorite unfinished stories on this site.

While I can’t say this new beginning is exactly the route I would have wanted them to take it definitely feels most true for what Pam needs right now. Poor Jim, such a sweet boy and he just loves her so much. But it’s nice to have them rebuilding that friendship that will keep them solid in the long run. I hope sure hope another chapter is coming soon!

Summary: Past Featured StoryHe goes out, he works, he does not call Pam, even when he's drunk and calls the office, he somehow gets Dwight's extension instead of the main desk, and the following Monday he recieves a very long pamphlet on alcohol abuse, narrated by a green panda.

Freaking love this!
They way you wrote this from jims perspective was like jim in the raw… so honest and stripped.
This line on Karen… “He likes her a lot, she's fun. He likes her. Even if he doesn't, he should, so he does, and it's as simple as that.” Brilliant. But I love how none of this was about her because none of it was and raw, honest, stripped jim would know that.

I wish I could describe this better but I am not a writer and have never had a way with words but I love the way you write. It's so true to character and very realistic to Jim and Pam. This isn't fairytaled up. They way you've written out his sexual history and his thoughts and feelings on the matters of women and sex is almost exactly my thoughts.

You are definitely one of my favorite authors.

Author's Response: Idajno80, thank you so much! So cool to get a review after all this time! I'm glad you enjoyed this story and that it spoke to you. Just to do a little plug: My first novel will be published in 2017. It's a young adult novel called ZENN DIAGRAM (you can check it out on Amazon or Goodreads). It'll be available on 4/4/17. I hope you'll read it! It's not Jim and Pam, but if you like my writing, maybe you'll enjoy it!

Summary: Jim and Pam are next door neighbors in their early 20's and have known each other their whole lives. Jim's brother Jonathan and Pam are best friends and Pam does not like Jim at all... or does she? AU (ya think?!)

Oh how I wish I had been aware of mtt back when you were writing this. I would have been one of your biggest supporters and maybe we would have gotten a happy ending to this amazing story!
And yeah, the smut is great but it's really the AU love story that I've fallen for. I love that jims feelings for Pam had nothing to do with the reputation that preceded him and I love that he is working so hard to try to change her perception of him and earn her respect and love. And I love that Jonathan was in on the whole thing and supported him wholly.
It kills me that I don't get to read the outcome :( That was going to be one hell of a 4th of July party!
It's never too late ya know! We've recently had a couple old abandoned fics resurrected some 7-10 years later ;)

Wow! I really, really like this. First of all, it's really fun to see their first months together in flashbacks through Pam's eyes, very different. I also really enjoyed your detail and observations of their past. The Jim in Stamford chapter was especially moving, I like how you wrote that time for him as still very Pam centric even through his time getting to know Karen.
But it's so nice how you can seamlessly transition back to the present and have a whole new storyline. The conversation between Jim and Pam in the present time, about his career and who he is, was so great I love that his insecurities came out more while he was drunk and found it interesting that it was prompted by Karen. The Mark chapter was really cute too, I enjoyed your version of him.
Very well done, I'm sad that it wasn't completed.

Good lord you are a talented writer, just so damn smart with these characters.
This whole series has so much brilliance but I have to say chapters 1, 5, and 8 are my favorites but ch 7 (the fight) is just so incredibly well done. A true standout.
I truly hope you are still writing. If you ever feel like writing for jam again just know there are plenty of readers here and even a good handful of writers to keep you company as well.

I am caught up and this has definitely been worth the wait! Quite the ride for sure.

Love the mention of the nye party in this chapter because (so far) my favorite scene comes from then when is jim in awe of being able to finally call Pam his girlfriend. Loved that!

One thing I was really pleased with in this chapter was Pam after wondering if she could go stay by Jim for the weekend that “You know what...I totally could.”
I’ve felt that their relationship has seemed a little high school at times and these two are in their early 20s. So yes adult Pam, you totally can spend the weekend with your boyfriend! And hopefully we’ll get those I love you’s soon as well!

And I can finally add it to my favorites which is super exciting to me!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and your reviews! I am sad to see it go, but so happy to have been able to finish it. I have plans for the epilogue that I hope will make the whole thing feel like it’s a complete package and topped off with a bow. I definitely do plan on sticking around, though! I already have other ideas in the works and seeing as how I just ordered the full series on DVD so that I can also see all the deleted scenes and extras...I don’t anticipate going anywhere anytime soon. At least not for 10 years. Again, thank you SO much! I appreciate your compliments and your reading!
