Title comes from the INXS song of the same name (the original INXS, with Michael Hutchence).
Not enough time for all that I want for you...
10 ::sigh:: that was great. FINALLY!!!! I was getting so angry with her! lol. I loved it when she finally just blurted "I think we could be great together!" and the images you created....her hair creating a curtain around them - I loved that too. Please say this isn't over!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! It isn't over, but I think there's only one more chapter yet - the morning after at the office. I'd love to write it in more of an episode style, but I don't know that I can pull it off. Thanks for reviewing!
Post The Convict - just a brief scenario, pondering that episode. Jim, Pam, Karen, Einstein...the usual gang. (Originally written as one of a collection of scenes; decided to let it be a stand alone. For now.)
10 Oh Colette if only....::sigh:: Please keep this story going! I loved it. Especially Pam making a move down there at the end!
Jim, Pam...and a partridge in a pear tree. There are 12 days of Christmas - there will be 12 chapters of this story.
He pulls back and leans his forehead against hers as he whispers. "Hi." :::sigh::: shades of Drug Testing. That's all i could hear when I read this. Jim is SO hot when he says "hi" like that. ::sigh:: LOVED this one! Keep it coming!!!! I can't wait to see how you round this all out.
I just loved this story! Such a unique idea and you just stayed so true to who the characters are. AND managed to give us a great big happy ending. LOVE IT! Thanks so much for the Christmas gift that kept giving. hehe
Author's Response:
Aww thanks LoveFool!! So glad that you enjoyed it.
My work is done. :)
xoxoxoxo or Collette....ONE of you have to do the Paris fic!!! PLEASE!!!! I don't care who...heck BOTH of you should do it together!
Author's Response:
Hee! I'll take it under advisement. Ms. colette and I should have a little chat about it I think...
:::sigh::: Words can not express how much I loved this. I loved that it didn't go exactly smoothly when he walked through the door, I loved that he got pissed about the art thing and her not taking a chance, I loved all the KISSING for God's sake that did me in...all those little kisses on her shoulders:::sigh::: and I loved their conversation about France at the end. Love, Love, Love.
So did you love it? :)
It appears you did - and that makes me very happy. Thank you!
LOVE how you worked in FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!!! Very, very clever! This story is so great!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
10 OMG, Ok this is officially my favorite one! How romantic was this one?! Lordy...love it - please continue - quickly. ;-)
Author's Response: Thanks LoveFool! I'm so glad you liked it. I'm working on it!!!
10 uuuuuuuuuuugh. They are so infuriating. lol. Get it together you two! lol. I loved that Pam was a little more ahem...ballsy in this though. Can't wait to see what you've got planned for these two next!
Author's Response:
I KNOW! They are killing me.
I think she needed to be - well - if I want them together by Christmas in my story then she definitely does. LOL!
Thanks! Stay tuned....
10 Xoxoxo...do you realize what you've done? You have just succinctly summed up the entire "new person" dynamic in one chapter! Karen or no Karen...that is totally what's it's like when that third person joins in a really tight twosome. You've already got the jokes going - everybody gets it...and then somebody - even though they try - just doesn't quite flow the same way the other two are......GREAT WORK capturing that!
Then of course there was the IMing about tracks...that was awesome!
Well that was my intention - so I'm soooo glad it came across for you!! It's not that Karen doesn't have a sense of humor - or that there nothing Jim would see in her - she's simply just not there - not like Pam is.
And if I have my way she never will be....(cue evil laugh LOL!)
10 ::sigh:: I loved the moment when they were both talking about things that were "new"....when he acknowledges her ponytail...ugh. Keep it coming!
Author's Response:
Sigh indeed Lovefool. All I keep thinking of is the moment in The Merger when he says the place looks great but is looking her up and down as he says it.
He totally notices...even if he pretends he's not noticing a thing.
If THAT was filler then good Lord woman, bring on more filler!!! That rocked! I knew I called in sick for a good reason today! Oh my goodness and way to go Pam! The part that had me cracking up the most was when Jim was trying to figure out what " -uck" word she'd said exactly. lmao. Hilarious.
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you liked it. Glad I can help you out on your sick day.
Hee about the -uck. I couldn't resist!!!
10 Oh that was TOO funny! I laughed out loud with each new edition. Great stuff!
10 :::sigh::: that last option was my fave. Oh, if only Pam had that kind of nerve! Good stuff.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lovefool. Yeah, five is a big hit. I think it's because after the first four, everyone is so ready for happy. I loved writing five, because my shippy heart demanded it.
This is for kath and Code Name Remax, both of whom wanted a fic in which Michael spilled the beans he has so miraculously been holding thus far....
Begins the night of the Christmas party (or rather, the two Christmas parties...)
eeeeek!!!! MORE! MORE!!!! Merry Christmas to me! But I'm so greedy...hehe
10 Oh I am SO excited for this!!! On to chapter 2....yay!
10 Ok, I like NEED the next chapter now! I love that we're getting everyone's POV here. Can't wait for Michael to spill the beans.
OMG!!!! I can't believe you ended it there!!! Ok, can I just tell you, that was PERFECT. I could SO see it all going down that way. And the tension you created...seriously I'm not sure I'm going to be able to handle it when it all comes out in the open on TV, because you had me biting my nails reading this thing! Way to go! MORE, MORE!!!!
ACK! Thank God there was another chapter! I didn't realize it when I responded to chapter 9....but still...more please! hehehe. Poor Jim....I loved his response of "that's so far from...." Because seriously "come on" just didn't sound right! It was so above that.
Ugh....this is killling me! ::sigh::
10 awww! That put me in a nice Christmas mood! Lovely!! And the idea of them kissing in the office with Karen there...PERFECT. hehehe.
Fluffy random morning after Jim/Pam type stuff.Her eyes move beneath her eyelids and he tries to listen to the stories they’re trying to tell. ::sigh:: That's just one example of many. This was absolutely gorgeous.
This was SO freaking cute! Just what I wanted this Christmas weekend! Gotta love a JAM baby story....I loved all the sweet moments like him massaging out a leg cramp for her, and her niece wanting to feel the baby, but I think my favorite part is them basically naming it "The Enormous Halpert Baby" ROFLMAO. Good stuff! Thanks!
Author's Response: I'm so flattered -- your fics here are some of my favorites, so I'm doubly glad that you enjoyed mine! I'm pretty enamored with the Enormous Halpert Baby, too ... can't you just see tiny Pam freaking out at how huge Jim's kids are probably going to be? :)
A few light bits and pieces I'd accumulated (have written enough angst lately, thanks.) Since they were just languishing, I figured I'd resurrect Vignettes and send them out into the world. Each is a stand-alone, NOT a chapter in a work-in-progress, so feel free to jump in and out. (I'm thinking there will be 3-5 pieces, but will have to see how the mood strikes me.)
If I owned these characters, would I be writing this stuff? Seriously. No copyright infringement is intended.
‘Good. Let’s get you home and into a bath.’
SO happy that Jim finally got to reap the benefits of THAT line! ;-)
Ok, I forgot to mention that I also LOVE that in this fic, they are at a point where they can joke around with each other about previously painful things like the line where you had Jim say something like "oh back out of marrying someone I've been in love with for years? who'd do that?" that was GREAT. again...good stuff!
Author's Response: Yeah, I actually think they would get to that point (at least I've made it happen in several of my stories, so they'd better.)Thanks again!
