Found The Office summer '06. Immediately fell in love with JAM. Obsessed ever since.
I no longer work as a part-time receptionist, which is sort of sad because I feel less connected to Pam (just kidding!). I'm almost finished getting my Masters in literacy and I'm a first year high school teacher! So basically I have nothing resembling free time or... sanity.
Jim's almost gotten used to narrating his life into a camera lens for the consumption of strangers. Like having a blog, but more embarrassing.I can't remember if I've reviewed this story already, but if I have, this bears repeating. This is my favorite story. Bar none. I love how you have things move nice and slow, how they're both characteristically at ease around each other most of the time, and then when it gets to the tough stuff they're suddenly awkward and nervous.
Basically, you both rock.
I love this. It reminds me of early second season JAM. I miss this kind of interaction between them. They were adorable together.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you for reading back and finding it. I wrote it back when thing were a little more optimistic. :)
This is so beautifully written and heartbreaking. A really interesting look at Kelly. I love it.
AU post Dundies. Pam gets a ride home from Jim. Okay, so I'm crying and I'm not exactly sure why. This story was just so moving, and heartbreaking, and wonderful. I wish I could formulate a more eloquent review, but all I can really say is that I loved it.

HA! These are so much fun :)
More Jim and Pam and their adventures in raising baby Jill!
I honestly think that you have kidnapped John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and at least two of the writers on the show.
I think that you keep these people locked in your basement and when you want to add a chapter to this you make them write and/or act it out, because it's just so freaking hilarious and perfectly them.
So yeah, you're either a felon or you're extremely talented.
Marry me!
Your Dwight was the best I've ever read. Not just the best Dwight I've ever read--just the best thing I've ever read. HILARIOUS. I must have laughed out loud twenty times, and I am not exaggerating. Jesus, you are amazing at writing realistic, hilarious dialogue!
My favorite part:
"Buttons, paint, paint brushes, knives, forks, breasts -
Jim reached up to scratch the back of his head, then pointed to the list. "That's a little hard to explain..."
I literally guffawed. So, so good.
Jim, Pam...and a partridge in a pear tree. There are 12 days of Christmas - there will be 12 chapters of this story.
I somehow missed Three French Hens. How did I let that happen? Anyway, that has to be my favorite chapter so far. Jim would absolutely be worried that Pam would talk herself out of everything. I love the way he tries to convince her to go to Paris. Let's just say it's safe for you to assume that I love every minute detail of this story.
Author's Response:
Well - I'm glad you went back and found those French Hens!
And assumption made. ;) Thanks shan21!
Oh, this was so good! I just read your other story, and I had to check out your other stuff because it was so fantastic. This was just great because it gives us little hints that even this early on, Karen wasn't right for Jim. But you still give Karen her due. She's funny and nice enough. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks for your kind comments on both of my stories.
I love the Dwight part. Perfect. The rest of it just made me soooooooooooo sad. But I'm a fluff-lover at heart, so it's probably just me.
I love that you've even included the little "um"s and "uh"s in the dialogue. Very realistic. I can see this happening (in fact, I wish it would happen). Write more soon!
Wow, you are being so kind with the updates. I feel almost guilty nagging you for more, but then again it's your fault that I'm so completely hooked. So... pleeeease write more soon!!
Niiiice </Kevin>
Really glad it's finally out there. This is how it should happen on the show. Karen should just ask and get a straight answer.
I like Karen and I think she needs to let Jim have it in the next chapter. I mean, she followed him to Scranton because he asked her to, even though he knew he'd see Pam again and that he still has feelings for her and that she was no longer engaged. If I was Karen, I'd be piiiiiiiissed.
But, you know, JAM all the way!
I agree. Because inevitably, she's going to see or hear something fishy and she's going to need to know. So I hope she asks and gets a straightforward answer.
I like Karen, too, and it's really hard not having her come across as a major bitch in this story, while still showing sympathy for her. I'd be pissed as well!
Hey, remember that time that you wrote the sexiest Jim moment ever? Yeah, that was awesome.
Jim receives a gift the day after Christmas. And then another one the next day. And again for the 10 days after. Is it a joke, or has his True Love come forward? I am completely hooked. Pleeeease write more soon! I love everything about this story.
Um... You rock. So much. So very much. I neeeeeeed you to continue this story right now! I need to know what happens when they both wake up! And what are the ramifications of Phyllis and whoever else was in the van knowing that Pam crashed at Jim's? AH!
Incredible. Just sooooo good.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Oh jeeze... I really like this so far, but I hope this blows up in Jim's face because it's so wrong. He's such a nice guy that I'm not sure I can quite believe he'd cheat on Karen like this. Well, I take it back. I can definitely believe that at least after the first kiss he would have stayed with Karen, but now... I don't know. Gah! Conflicted feelings!
(p.s. I still really like it)
Yeah, that was a problem I had with it, too. Jim's too much of a nice guy, but there has to be something underneath all that 'niceness'. I'm just not sure it's that.
But, guaranteed this would blow up in his face. Not only would not like doing it, but I'm almost positive Pam wouldn't put up with it.
Thanks for still liking it, though. ;)
Oh my God. I've never loved a piece of fluff more. *HUGS*
Author's Response: Thank you so much, shan! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Per nomadshan's planting the irresistible notion in my head of writing an Out of Control Jim story (along with encouragement from other posters at TWoP - you know who you are).... This is an exploration of what could happen if (when?) Jim and Pam were pushed to the point of losing all control.
That was the best use of Creed in a fic EVER.
Tears in eyes here. So realistic and painful. Pam would totally lie.
Author's Response: Thank you. Hopefully she'll be more honest somewhere down the line...
Don't ever apologize for long chapters. I live for long chapters. They're the best kind! Especially with a story as fun to read as yours!
What happens in Scranton when Casino Night hits the airwaves
Spoilers for Casino Night and assumes general season 3 knowledge. AU after Benihana Christmas
Am crying. Loved it so much. So glad you finished this. Going to stop talking in fragments now.
So when are you going to send in your resume to the producers so they can hire you as a writer? I'll wait patiently.
LOVE this. Wish it would really happen. Like now.
Good story! I'd love for you to continue-- like belsum said you could make an alternate season 3!
