I love this follow up, and ESPECIALLY the introducing backstory for other IRC folks. I get why you didn't finish, but this manages to live up to the original, and that's high praise indeed.

Can't Go Back by shan21 Rated: T [Reviews - 85] 47
Summary: Past Featured Story

Post-Benihana Christmas fic!

Remember when Jim and Pam convinced Dwight that a CIA helicopter would pick him up on the roof? Well, neither of them could resist showing up that night to see the prank to it's conclusion.

The Best Dundies Ever by shan21 Rated: T [Reviews - 180] 106
Summary: Past Featured Story

What if Pam refused to let Angela drop her off at home after the Dundies?

“I want to go to Jim’s,” Pam said, interrupting Angela’s thoughts.

Angela felt as though her head might pop off and land in one of her cup holders. Would the depravity of this night never end?

Breakable by LoveFool Rated: T [Reviews - 135] 52
Summary: Past Featured StoryYet another story inspired by a song by Ingrid Michaelson called Breakable. I really wanted to tell a story about people being just that -- breakable, and ultimately how grace helps keep us from falling apart. So yeah -- a nice fluffy holiday piece. ;-)

Kicking Puppies by bebitched Rated: T [Reviews - 13] 8
Summary:

Roy's thought process after Pam tells him about her kiss with Jim on Casino Night, what leads him to attack Jim at the office.

This was a thorny little story to write. Even though I spent a long time hating Roy's guts I just love to take the unpopular side, and even though there aren't many fics written from Roy's POV, I hope you'll read and like this anyway.

And just like that, all of a sudden, the world had dissolved around him like that water color painting he’d accidentally spilled beer on once, his version of reality that he’d been living in for the last ten years melting away, yielding to this strange rendition of life that didn’t look anything like what he’d been used to.

Love this paragraph. The whole thing is well written but this stood out.

Between and Underneath the Words by Recorderalways Rated: T [Reviews - 75] 42
Summary: This is another alternate ending story from season three, beginning just before Phyllis' Wedding and ending at Business School.

Many thanks to Beeswax for her advice and encouragement.

I still own nothing, not The Office, not Jim and Pam, and nothing affiliated with TV or Scranton. I am, however, getting a new laptop for Christmas, which is why I'm purging this one of this story before the holiday. On that happy note, thanks for reading!

Reviewer: Comfect Signed 1

I've reviewed this before, but I was going through fics for the class I teach on fanfiction at my university, and I wanted to let you know that this one consistently comes back in the feedback at the end of the semester as people's favorite. We read about 30 fanfics, all of which I think are excellent work; over half the students each semester say this is their favorite, despite the competition.

Thank you, as ever, for writing it.

Author's Response:

Well, this just leaves me speechless. I was just reading a "The World's Digital Memory is at Risk" (a NYT Op Ed). It mentioned the fragility of the distributed internet and broken links. So I Googled to find the link to the MTT archive and see if anyone is still reading my stories. Your comments utterly blow me away. I can't believe my story is part of your teaching syllabus. Thank you - and your students - for this wonderful compliment!
