Another day, another game of Pam Pong. Why is this one different?
9 Aw. So sweet. These are the things that get you through the days between episodes. Lovely.
Author's Response: Thanks! Sigh... I feel wistful for those simpler times, when we thought this scenario might be right around the corner.
The title already had me grinning. Then there were stars and making out and hotness, so... awesome. And very well written. But this: She can just give him some cryptic statement and he gets that she’s not even talking about painting. Because it's them. The distance and the closeness, at the same time. So yummy. Great job.
It's a small world.
10 Oh my God. This is awesome. Angela's smugness is *perfect*! Well done!
Pink the color, Pink the person, hot dogs, basically anything that is awesome ...
10 Is it wrong that I love how shallow Kelly is?
This is great.
Dwight doesn't know when to let a joke go. Neither does Jim.
10 Your writing is so subtle and them, like you understand the characters so well, you don't need the extra words. Just lovely.
Jim's internal monologue from "Casino Night" and beyond. Includes the confession and kiss. Each chapter is set to one of the five senses. Pathetic. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.
This line is made of awesome, but there are so many great lines in this chapter.
Roy regrets a lot of things.This is a beautiful Roy POV. I was scared to read it, but somehow loved every part, especially: You can’t even begin to figure her out anymore. It really struck a chord with me. Roy loves her so much, but just can't quite be that guy.
He's so tired and everything's happening so fast.
10 I really love the stillness of this piece, because it captures the mood of the show perfectly.
Well done!
AU post Dundies. Pam gets a ride home from Jim. 10 SO beautiful and heartbreaking.
I love : And I’ve never felt anything so close to love as this and that’s a horrible thought because I’ve been engaged for three years.
Oh, Pam. Sigh.
My heart was in my throat (Jim will be okay... right?) and then I smiled and smiled and smiled. Specifically, I really loved the moment when the producer sent Pam the footage with a note about how he was really sorry about Jim. I found this incredibly touching, because it brought home the fact that these are supposed to be REAL people, and it totally broke my heart to think that the real, adorable, funny guy named Jim was in a coma. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks Paper Jam! This should be called "How I Amused Myself This Summer"... I never imagined we'd still be "waiting" for Jim to wake up and see Pam after all this time! Anyway, thanks for your comments.
This is essentially my take on the "unseen" challenge. I've written a couple of these, and I originally thought I'd do one for every episode, but I'm thinking that's too ambitious for me -- especially when someone else has already done it so perfectly. But for what it's worth....

This is great. Such dedication, making all the way through the season and then some! There are too many wonderful moments for me to pick just one. I feel all warm and fuzzy after reading this. Pam can have Jim if I can have Jonathan (I know, I know, get in line). Yay for fictional hotties!
Thanks!
10 This is awesome. I have a deep love for fic that shows how people on the outside perceive Jim and Pam. Also, not even Gil can resist the Halpert Hair. Ha!
Author's Response:
It's true!!! Everyone loves the Halpert Hair!
Thanks for reviewing!
She chuckles to herself, imagining telling Roy they spent the evening baking brownies and braiding each other’s hair.
10 Love! It's sweet and them and I'm glad Pam risked Angela's wrath to make brownies with Jim.
This made me laugh: "And, of course, the moms."
Jim teaches Pam a new step.
10 Aw. So nice. Of course Jim knows ballroom dancing. He is such a girl sometimes, I swear.
This is great!
Yeah, he is. Thanks, Paper Jam :)
Jim and Pam get stuck and get busy.10 I'm just going to pretend this really happened.
Awesome!
I loved the concept of this chapter. You write angry Jim really well.
And he’s really honestly getting tired of the way subtext tastes on the tip of his tongue.
This line is so, so awesome.
He makes up lies for her too.
Aw, man. So good!
I was thinking today about how Meredith is the one character that could use some fleshing out and magically, I stumbled across this. So good and original!
Author's Response:
Yeah, MORE MEREDITH. The drinking thing has been done to death!
Thanks for reviewing!
Casino Night alt-ending for the Second Choices challenge.
I just found this. It's so them. I love it.
Author's Response: Thanks, Paper Jam :)
Pam's been faking it. Roy asks Jim how to fix it.
10 Oh, boy did I love this story! All of Jim's internal reactions to Roy's TMI comments were really great, and the dialogue, despite being crazy awkward, also feels really true to them. You know Pam and Jim are really dysfunctional when he drives her wild in bed by giving her fiancé pointers. And she knows it. Hot.
Author's Response: Thanks, Paper Jam!
Series of drabbles on random subjects9 I really enjoyed this chapter! My favourite parts:
the silence an aisle away listens I just like this image, it reminds me of the time Pam's mom asked who Jim was, and even though he looked "busy" he was listening to intently I thought he might pull a muscle.
And: She laughs her Jim laugh, and he smiles his Pam smile
Because, yeah, they totally have those things, that they only use with each other.
Awesome.
After writing Jim/Jan for the first time, I did a curiousity search and found this. I love it, it's a great portrait of how they relate, without it being romantic. Very well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! :) I am not a natural fiction writer by any mean, but I was pretty pleased with the final product, which is not usually the case. :) I love Jan and Jim so it was fun to write.
"Pam would have laughed if it hadn't been so funny." The weekend after Casino Night.
10 This was great. It made me feel a little sick to my stomach, but still great. It's nice to see Roy do the leaving for a change.
I think my favourite part was: He let out a bark of a laugh that cracked in the small room like a gunshot.
Because that's exactly what I did. Of course he left her for Katy. Poor Pam. You snooze, you lose, I guess.
Anyway, very well done.
Cheers
For the Caught Red Handed and "Nobody knows" Challenges. Sometimes you're so distracted that you get careless and what you think is a big secret isn't such a secret at all. :)So sweet. Creed is oblivious, Michael takes the credit, Kelly gossips, Oscar is discreet, Kevin rents porn. And of course Dwight thinks it's a prank. These are all golden. Well done.
Author's Response: Awww! Thanks Paper Jam! This one was a lot of fun to write. So glad you liked it!
