Hilarious! Your Andy voice was spot-on!
Author's Response: Thanks, he was my favourite to write. I must have really been inside his head, because that night I had a dream about him.
This is my take on Pam's motivation for leaving the wedding with Roy. Only Pam and Roy are in this story, but I am very much in the Jim/Pam camp so it is safe for JAM fans too. I know I have been absent for awhile. This episode pushed me out of hibernation. Ouch! But really good Pam insight.
Kudos!
She (finally!) talks to him.
Painfully beautiful. Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you, I appreciate it.
You've woven so much into this story! Jim's serial crush on receptionists! Packer's gay thing! Why Dwight thinks secret dating is hot! Now I've used my allotment of exclamation points! Nope, one more is required: Heeeee!
Her voice is so quiet that she's not sure he hears her, but then he's sighing and saying, "Yeah," like it's something he's been waiting to hear.
[Post Phyllis' Wedding]
Then again, there’s something about the cold air on her neck and the way his beard casts shadows on his face that makes this a little less real than it is.
What wonderful imagery. This is so beautiful and sad, but not, because it's also hopeful and .... *sniffs for a second*
... you have their voices and them just down.
Except if it were a robot he'd have to somehow manage to confuse it, and then while it was spinning in circles, sneak attack!
HAAAAAA!!!! So much funny goodness packed into this story! I hoist you into the air and throw confetti (which is difficult due to the simultaneous hoisting, but necessary) because is the funniest damned thing evaaaaaa!!!!
"He thought it was ‘King of Spain'."
Heeeee!!! Oh, you wonderful Shan, you! This is just as dishy and sweet as I had hoped! I was soooo disappointed that we got no Gil, but now I'm sticking your delightful thing in my head and calling it canon. I am also choosing to believe that Gil came to his Pam/Jim knowledge in my fic, Fringe.
Thank you, dear Shan! Happy Valentine's Day!
And to you, lady. I rewatched the episode, searching for Gil, and when he wasn't there, this idea popped up.
And Fringe - exactly! My fic memory is so terrible that I didn't remember it was yours - OMG DUH! This hasn't been my year - yeesh. Will add a line to the chapter notes. Glad you liked :)
So sweet, I wanna slurp it up like a mocha shake! Love it!
Jim and Pam fight. Pam finally has her breakthrough.
Spoilers through Business School
Well done and really in-character. I, too, will be ridiculously heartened if we see Jim back at his old desk.
Author's Response: Thankee! It would be wonderful if he'd move back, wouldn't it? *fingers crossed*
At Michael’s infamous 80’s party, Jim discovers that Pam is, in fact, a very dorky dancer. This is adorable as baby panda bears. Great backstory for how Jim could have seen Pam dance!
Awesome story, and awesome pairing! Angela's arms at her side made me simultaneously giggle and sigh.
It would be there at dinner with them, or at the breakfast table, lounging in his cereal spoon. It would be at the bar where they met his friends, only materializing in the dimly lit hallway leading to the bathroom. It would be buried between the white and pink sheets of her bed, the words even stealing their way from his own lips one night while he was inside of her.
I'm always impressed by people who can write lyrically about silly Kelly and smug Ryan. Kudos, you!
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. Yay! TWoP was down, but I remembered you said there would be new Squirrel today, and here it is! Wooooo!
Yes, I've got SquirrelFever, and I've got it bad.
Darling Mox. I haven't left a review yet, but I jumped on the train late and have been printing out all the chapters to read and savor. Thanks for this delicious series!
Viva El Squirrel!
Sooo, I felt sorta bad reviewing this story, because I thought, Yikes! Moxie is going to have a lot of reviews to reply to! But now that I know a tattoo is on the line, well, here I am, telling you that you've written another awesome chapter! I loved how no one was surprised by Jim and Pam getting together.
Everything melts eventually, and then it all tastes the same.
Jim & Kevin, outside in the bushes during Phyllis' Wedding. Slash-ish-ish. :)
Ha! That was perfectly Kevin! I toss M&M's in your direction!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I hope you don't mind I wrote it....and just so you know, I am on pins and needles in anticipation for your forthcoming Jim and Kevin. It will be amazing. :)
It's not that Karen didn't see the signs, she just chose to ignore them...
Vignettes take place either during or close to episodes, including a post-Cocktails vignette.
This felt real and true to the characters. I feel like Karen has been fleshed out so much better in fanfic than on the show -- kudos to you for not making her cartoony.
"Turn right, Halpert," she whispered, "turn right and go home."
Aw, man. Poor Karen.
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!
Wow.
WOW!
So cool. I love how the Camera Guys are characters on the show, and I love Camera Guy fanfics, and I dig when Karen is shown in a sympathetic light, (I'm a hardcore Jammer, but that doesn't mean I think Karen is a ho!), and it's cool when someone comes up with a new way for these three to get wise, and, and, and... You wrote all these things, you amazing woman you! Woo!!
Loved, loved, loved.
... Oh, also? The pervy Bunny? Heeee!
Before, during, after (peas, waffles.) Post-Cocktails...but no fighting.Dear Colette. I needed some sweet, sexy smut, and this was perfect. And this line? I am deeeead from what it makes me think about:
‘I just need a minute,’ he breathes.
Magnificantly Bad! Brava!
Author's Response: Either you have a bizarre fetish or a fine appreciation for horrific prose. Maybe both. I like that. Call me.
Originally an entry into the Bad Fanfic Challenge but it grew a life of its own.
Deliciously Bad.
Hauntingly Bad.
I offer you a crown and sceptre, because you are the King of Bad Fanfic.
It was unmistakable that it was Karen even at a distance because she had Jim’s desk super-glued to her rear end.
HA! This is great Swedge, my favorite thing of yours ever. (TWSS!) It's a new genre: The Office, Superhero Style!
Well done. Sigh... Karen is so much more fleshed out in fanfic than she is on the show.
Mmmmm... I love when you talk dirty, unfold.
