Date: October 31, 2022 Title: Chapter 1: Marley's Chains

This was a very interesting premise.
I can see Jim losing it if Pam did die,
especially when he finally realized he
had a real chance with her, but shot her down anyway.
Jim can now see how he truly took took Pam for granted, much like how Roy always did.
I can also sort of see how Jim having a break down over Pam could be the last straw for his relationship with Karen, because it’s very unlikely that
Jim would have the same reaction if she had died.

Author's Response:

Yeah it's quite a unique one! This is one of my favourite songs and I really wanted to write a fic for it, but it's about someone who's friend dies in a car crash, so it was never going to be a cheery one.

Yeah Jim absolutely wouldn't feel like this if Karen died - as he shouldn't!!

Thanks for the review

I can’t help but be curious about how Jim
found out about Pam’s death, and his actual reaction/breakdown.
Also seeing the situation from Karen’s POV
could be interesting because even though I’m
not a fan of her, I think that seeing your boyfriend
going into the psych ward because of another woman would be heartbreaking.It’s one thing for Jim to say he has feelings for Pam, but it’s another for Jim to lose himself over her.
Also Jim’s breakdown would throw a serious wrench into her plans of moving to New York for the corporate job.
So could you think about writing another fic to go along with this one? Thanks
BTW do you might know when we might get another update for Hello Daddy? I’m really missing it.

Author's Response: Ah thank you so much for the review. But oof! I think several people would murder me if I added another chapter! I think this is firmly done and I’m back to the land of fluff. If you ever want to know more about a fic, just come say hi on Discord!

Hello Daddy will be back soon. I’ve had some motivational issues on it, but I’m midway through the chapter so it shouldn’t be too much longer. Sorry for keeping you waiting!

Summary:

The List made me do it. 

A reimagining of the episode "Gossip" and all those sweet, sweet rumors.

This is an interesting start to a story.
I loved GG when it was on, and now Bridgerton,
So blending The Office with GG is right up my alley.
I’m already go to take a guess and say it’s Pam,
even though that’s probably too easy of a guess.

Author's Response:

Oh I LOVE both of those!

Interesting guess....

Please don’t leave it like that!
Jim made the big gesture to Pam,
now it’s her turn to do the same.
Can you have her go to Stamford to tell him
that she wants him too?
And then they can have sex on top of Karen’s desk. 😂

Thank you for your review!!

Hahha it's not quiiiite where I had this storyline going, but I'll remember the sex on Karen's desk for if I do any future fics!

Date: December 22, 2022 Title: Chapter 2: Strike the Match

That was intense!
The car accident was a twist I didn’t see coming.
Also Jim giving Pam an apology was also unexpected. It’s kind of too bad that Pam didn’t make her confession to him then like she did on beach day. Karen does seem like one of those type
of feminist women with a chip on their shoulder.
That sick up Karen’s ass is one of the main reasons why she and Jim were not a good match.
So even if there was no Pam Karen and Jim
probably wouldn’t have lasted.
BTW do you by chance know when we could get an update on Dinner for Two and Silver Wings?
I’m really missing them.

Author's Response:

Thank you. Mission accomplished then. That's the thing about little changes, they can lead to big changes, thus Jim's apology. You might recognize a few lines from Pam's Beach Games speech in her reply though. Probably true about Karen.

And yes, once I finish this Christmas story I'll get back to work on my other works.

Also could you update soon?

Author's Response: Likewise, how did Roy know Jim would be at the Christmas bazaar around 7pm? Mr. Always Coming Upstairs for a Soda Out of the Machine? I'm working on the update. It's coming soon, don't worry.

Karen seems a bit desperate. She’s only known
Jim a few months and is already calling him the boy
of her dreams. It sounds like what crazy Cathy did. Josh is creepy, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Karen was one of the girls that Josh cheated on his wife with. 🤔
Is this a one shot story, or will there be other chapters?

Author's Response:

I should have clarified that Jim is the man of Karen's wet dreams. The office boy she fantasizes about. She still doesn't see him with a ring on his finger. 
 
The natural step in this story, would be to do a chapter with dinner and whatever comes next. But, how to tell something that has already been done millions of times, without getting repetitive or ridiculous? I don't think so. But.... if I manage to quit smoking this year, everything will be possible.

I have no sympathy for Karen because she could have broken things off with Jim when she found out
about his feelings for Pam. She let herself get hurt in the end. As for Roy, all he did was reaffirm to Pam that calling off their wedding was the right decision.
Roy and Pam are really too different, so if there was no Jim, they would still be wrong for each other.
BTW when are going to get an update for Hello Daddy?! I’m really missing it. 😥

Author's Response:

Oh exactly. I never understood why Karen stayed with Jim after The Return. Made ZERO sense. And Roy. Well, that was just a terrible choice.

I know, I'm so sorry about HD! It will be back soon, there's just some fics that are time sensitive that I've needed to/need to write! It's not been forgotten though I promise!

So is there going to be another chapter?
I’m curious since Jim saw Kate at the bar with Roy,
and knowing how vindictive Karen is and and impulsive Roy can be it wouldn’t surprise me if he tried to attack Jim at the wedding causing a scene.

Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I did consider another chapter but I wanted to keep this fluffy and focused on an opportunity for them to reconcile and be honest with each other. There were discussions and ideas around Karen and Roy and I totally agree there would likely be some kind of scene, but I decided I didn't want that as part of this particular story :)

It’s good to see this story back.
I loved seeing Pam stand up for herself to Jim.
She was right about Jim not having a right to judge her about Roy since was being hot and cold with her while shoving Karen in her face. Please update soon.

Reviewer: New Hogfan Signed 1
Date: June 02, 2023 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Jim was such an ass in season three so it was good to see Pam stand up to him and not take his crap,
like she did in canon. I hope she keeps it up.
The biggest issue I had with Jim in that situation was that he acted like the poor victim and treated Pam as if she were the villain when he was the person who started the problem between them(and Roy) in the first place. 😡
Also Karen wanting to have sophisticated nights show how she and Jim are not a good match.
I do like how Jim thinks that being with Karen is his own personal hell that he brought on himself.
Jim deserves to be miserable in season three.
Please update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you!  I agree entirely. Jim had no patience when it came to it and was a bit of a victim-blamer. One of his faults really, much as I love him. Update has now happened!

Reviewer: New Hogfan Signed
Date: July 18, 2023 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

It looks like Pam was right in that Jim thinks of her when he’s with Karen, which is further proof that Karen was just a distraction for him.
Jim really is immature when it comes to not getting what he wants so it’s nice to see he has a friend who can see right through Jim’s BS.
Mark was right that Karen made the choice to go to Scranton, even if Jim led her on. Yes Jim was using Karen, but she let him use her by staying with him after Jim admitted to having feelings for Pam.
Jim was not obligated to stay with Karen just like Pam wasn’t obligated to stay with Roy.

Author's Response: Thanks so much NH, and I absolutely agree on Karen, which should help unpicking that gordian knot.

I’m liking the potential of Isabel and Mark,
and how they think alike when it comes to their friendships. I agree that what JAM really needs is
a meeting of the minds to clear the air between them and to be upfront about what they are truly thinking,
and how to move forward because right now they are
stuck in place like they were in canon. So they are making themselves miserable.

Author's Response: I think we need a bit of angsty JAM to move things along, oh and it will move things along... ;)

Mark and Isabel were right to lock JAM up to
finally talk because communication was never JAM’s strong suit. 🤦r05;a92;a039;
I’m curious to see what happens with JAM when they get back to work and what will happen with Karen.
I guess that I’m in the minority but I never thought she was that attractive. I always found her to be rather bland looking. Please update soon! 🙏

Breaking Through by Maxine Abbott Rated: M [Reviews - 9] 5 New!
Summary:

Not Time Travel but Time Travel adjacent.

 

A kind of fantasy in reverse – Pam wakes up to find herself in an alternate life without Jim, her children and much of the self-worth she found being in love with and by him. Could she find it again with Jim gone from Dunder Mifflin and without him could she break free from Roy to get back to her other life?

Interesting start.
I always kind of thought Pam was suffering
from depression when she was with Roy,
and I have to say that sometimes Jim didn’t help
matters like with the way he treated her when he came up from Stamford and even when jim started the job in Philly, and blamed Pam for missing the dance recital when Jim made the decision to
miss it.I’m also wondering if it’s not really a
bug that is making Pam sick. 🤔

Author's Response: Thanks for the review,,, gotta agree with that observation...and you could be on to something...stay tuned...

The two of them being alone in a cabin together sounds very intriguing. I can’t help but wonder
about Roy’s reaction to seeing Pam’s note and ring
she left behind. Will we by chance get a glimpse into
how Roy takes it? 🙏
Please update soon.

Author's Response: I did include a line that said Pam had to wade her way through more angry voicemails from Roy before she called her family, so we'll say Roy initially took it badly. Them being alone in the cabin should be a lot of fun. Glad to hear from you.

Reviewer: New Hogfan Signed
Date: March 19, 2024 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Reading about Roy’s history with his family certainly explains his behavior in his relationship with Pam,
and his shock over the fact that she actually dumped him. His ego is in shock. I like his sister and can understand why she distanced herself from that toxic family. I think it’s smart for Pam to want to take her relationship with Jim slow even though she confessed her feelings to him. I think she does need some time on her own before she moves in with another guy. Please update soon because I’m curious about what is going to happen when they go back to Scranton and Pam goes over to Roy’s with Hunter.

Author's Response: As always I appreciate your detailed comments. Lots of growth for Pam here that's for sure. I also wanted to add in some hope that though Roy is a bit of an oaf, with a bit of straight talk from his sister, he can turn things around. Also we have come to the end of this story. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to how things unfold from here. For now though we can leave Jim and Pam to enjoy their last night in the cabin. Thanks for the review.

I don’t know what to think of Jim and the other one
calling in sick twice. Something does seem a bit off.
Then again if Jim really was sick then it would explain why it took him so long to get back to Pam. When I’m sick all I want to do is sleep and tune out the world. 🤷r05;a92;a039;
It is interesting that Pam calling off her wedding wasn’t on her regrets list. It shows how she was truly indifferent about Roy. I’m really curious about what is going on with Jim and the other one(can’t say her name). There definitely is some conflict and tension between them. Does she know Jim was hanging out with Pam? Does she know about Jim’s feelings for Pam yet in this story? Please clue us in?

Author's Response:

I LOVE that you call her the other one. I can't bear to write her name either hahah But yeah, something is up with them!

Would calling off a wedding to Roy be on your list of regret? Yeah, me neither

It's all going to be answered in the next chapter!

Thanks for such an entertaining review!!
