Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Eeek! Dangerous territory! Jim is as hooked as I am. Hurrah! Next!
I love, love, love the Toby scene (I want them to be better friends on the show!) and Periwinkle! That's the colour I always call that dress, and I'm excited to know I am backed up by Crayola.
Why is Pam being weird? How am I supposed to keep from skipping to the end? Vexin!!! You are wonderful and evil, Moxie.
Flirting? Invitations to meet in person? Eek! I love it.
Oh, Jim, you are in so much trouble. A picture in your wallet? The promise of online sex? What have you gotten yourself into?
TooMuchTrouble> What? Just flat out ask her what she wants? Are you nuts, McPants??
Ahaha! Oh Jim. Follow your own advice, dummy. Also? I'm glad you held off on the online sex. That might have been crossing the line. Also? Does Pam know? Because I think she might be on to him. Look out! Must. Keep. Reading.
I like that Karen wasn't as crazy as she sounded. And asparagus! Hee! Fluffy goodness!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Jim exercising his love muscle AND the big reveal? I feel so spoiled. You are the awesome.
Yeah, she's mad, but she cannot resist the Halpert. You've done such a great job creating this world, Mox.
Yes! That's the tie I voted for! Woo! I loved the banter here and Kissing! Finally!
I loved the bets on Jim's love life and Dwight calling them sick. Lovely banter!
Um. Le Squee. And actual McPants! What a great, fun romantic story. Thanks for sharing the love with everyone, Moxie!
Ooh. very nice. I own both versions of P&P (does that make me a sad person?), so reading this was a gimme. I like the modern day twist! Post more soon!
Author's Response: There are TWO versions of P&P? I did not know this. Cool! Thanks for the review!
A very nice finish! I loved it, especially the pre-wedding letter. Happy smiles!
Is it possible there is somewhere out there who hasn't seen the Colin Firth P&P? I cannot believe it! Haha!
4 Okay, cantaloupes made me laugh like a drain. There was a discussion on TWoP today about hooking people in with your summary, and that did it for me. Also, Karen getting romantic pointers from a mentally unhinged astronaut? Cracked me up.
Author's Response:
My summaries are usually lousy. I only had fun with this because it was a 5 things with an already over the top verbose title. Now I'll have to go back and redo all the summaries of everything I ever wrote to include produce of some sort. Except if I used beets in this fandom, people would think it was actually informing readers of the presense of beets.
You can always count on a loony to show us the way.
It may be a bruise on the surface, but it goes deeper than that.
Young Pam/Roy and then spoilers through Cocktails.
This was wonderful, especially: He exhales. "Yeah. It hurts."
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm glad you liked that part because I wasn't sure if it was too abrupt, or whatever, but I'm really glad it works!
Once upon a time, Prince Charming plucked you out of shy teenage obscurity, and you expected to live happily ever after.
Aw! Now that's what people should be reading their daughters at bedtime: You don't need a prince to get out of your tower.
Ooh, Kelly has a secret!
Great idea guys! I look forward to seeing the rest.
Pam takes care of Jim after he'd been hit by Roy. Takes place after "Cocktails".
"Thanks for fixing me."
Aw! Cute and sexy.
maybe things have to be raw and open and painful sometimes to finally be right.
Post-Cocktails. Pam, Jim, wounds both emotional and physical, and finally some answers.
Beautiful details. I especially like Pam thinking that news of her life wouldn't travel that fast (don't we all think that?) and Angela's concern (so sweet and in character) and the pain of resolution. Sometimes hurt is good. Well done! Cyber-cookie for you!
Everything melts eventually, and then it all tastes the same.
Jim & Kevin, outside in the bushes during Phyllis' Wedding. Slash-ish-ish. :)
This was really great! It's so rare to read a Kevin fic and you did a great job! I especially loved how it was really the second one he wanted to say yes. Oh, Kevin. And I was strangely comfortable with the slashishness, so good work there!
Author's Response: Thank you! I think that Kevin and Jim actually have a lot in common. And I'm so glad you felt comfortable with the slash-ish-ishness, it was walking a fine line with these two and it's good to know I kept it...comfortable? I guess. Anyway, thanks again. :)
Nicely done. Really sweet and quiet and well written.
Just a suggestion: If you direct link to your story, you should put spoiler warnings in your chapter notes, too. I'm not traumatized, because I was mildly spoiled about that, but it might bother some other people. :)
You spend your days watching other people fumble over themselves and wade through life without having to actually live your own.
Response to the Documentary Crew challenge!
Yeah. Excellent. Kiss for a quid makes my stomach bottom out every time. Nice. Great use of the challenge, and I love all the little details of the crew member's life.
Grinning like a fool! Why don't you post more stories here? You must write more lovely endings! Thanks for the smile!
Author's Response:
I love the idea of making more people grin like fools, so - I guess I'm going to have to write more, now. *sigh* ;)
Thanks for reviewing!! :D
The documentary company needs a little help to finalize a distribution deal, so the head of the camera crew decides to recruit a mole.Very nicely done! Thank goodness for meddlers! I really enjoyed this!
Author's Response: If only it really happened...thanks!
