Bio:

author of the month March 2021

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.

Oh my god, chapter seven just about broke my heart. All of these are so honest. They really seem to get at the very core of these characters' hearts. You are very talented.

There is so much of this that I LOVE. If I were to quote every part of this that made me smile or made me think "this is worded so perfectly" this review would... well, it would be as long as your story.

I love that they have their own Office shorthand. I love that he brought the sombrero home. I love that she plopped the sombrero down on his head.  And I will quote this last part, because I love it wayyy too much to paraphrase it:

The laughter that broke out of him was old. Tapped from a place she used to know. And hers rippled up from somewhere deep to match it.

Oh my god, HOW DO YOU DO THIS? How do you so perfectly sum up the inner thoughts and feelings of these characters in so few words?

I love these. If you wrote a hundred more chapters, I'd eat 'em like popcorn.

Summary: (Set the night of The Return.) This has got to be the longest elevator ride ever.

Squeeeee! I listened to the song while I read this and it made this already awesome fic awesomer. Then I watched the fanvid which made it... awesomenener... [/Michael]

p.s. I love that Pam calls it a NonPod.

The universe seemed destined to tear them apart until fate intervenes.  Pam is single and a little destitute.  Jim is (not so) happily engaged to his high school sweetheart.  How will this affect our favorite condiment? (Written for the Role Reversal Challenge.)

I'm so glad you updated! This was wonderful. Excellent Jim prank and props for creating a Great Scott joint. Keep this one going :)

Author's Response: I had some more shamefully bad cinema planned, but my film class just leeched all the creativity out of me...alas, I'm glad you liked it.

Ooh, I really like this alternate life you've created for Jim. He's definitely a creature of habit and I could see a him letting a long-term relationship comfortably stagnate. 

And yay for his little smile. Can't wait for the next chapter! 



Author's Response: Thank you. I'm going to try to bring Rosie into the works a little at a time so people don't get bored.

This fantastic. You write Drunk!Jim so convincingly! From dealing with drunken roommates every weekend, I can say with experience that that was very realistic drunken action.

The Jim/Karen interaction is painful and Jim is so haunted by Pam. Just wow. Great job.

So good. Great insight into Pam. Steaminess factor was incredible.  Is it weird though that I kept thinking, "Ah! Her car's still running!"  Oh well.  An empty tank and a dead battery is totally worth JAM.

Author's Response: Haha. I knew that "I" had left the car running, but I thought the same as you -- it's worth it!  Thank you so much for the comment!

Summary: What if, instead of the booze cruise, Phyllis was right about the whole office heading to Florida? Jam! Dwight in a Speedo! It doesn't get better than this!

Um, so you pretty much made my night by updating this story! It's always worth the wait for new chapters.

I can't wait to get Jim's POV on the bikini *and* to see what happens when she's up on his shoulders. Best. Fic. Ever.

I LOVE THIS FIC.

That needed to be written in all caps. That's how much I love it. When I see that it's updated I get giddy.

You win like a million points for having the words, "Dwight, who finally just ripped the sarong off" in a fic. And also for including Tipsy!Pam, who is always amazing.

Now get Pam out of Phyllis's shirt and onto Jim's shoulders!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah! Please have Pam borrow a bathing suit from Kelly. PLEASE. Jim will just die.

Can I just say that I love Mike and Joe. I love this part:

“We made Pam cry,” Mike said.
“I know.”
“We really suck.”

I love it. You have mastered UST. I can't wait for more.

Ha! I so love this. Besides JAMmy goodness, I think you can have a lot of fun with Angela in this. Think of all the depravity she might encounter. Oh, and Packer should totally make a(nother) pass at Pam. Always nice to see Jim get protective.

Wow, LadyLuck, I'm so impressed with this chapter. There was something really beautiful about the way it was written. Some of the narration just struck me as perfectly and fluidly worded. Really excellent.

Not to mention the fact that the JAM is amazing. I got butterflies a few times just imagining how Pam felt. And you have her state of mind down pat.

So yeah. You pretty much rock. 



Author's Response: thank you so much! you make me blush :D

I love that Jim just knows to take her bag. And the line

"No problem. Just know that I expect you to carry all of my luggage for the rest of the trip."

Perfect. So Jim. And I also love that Jim's afraid of flying and that Pam is afraid of dolphins. Methinks they might encounter a dolphin or two in Florida? *fingers crossed* 



Author's Response: ack! i wasn't even thinking of a dolphin encounter, but that is so perfect! thank you!

Good. I don't want to hate Eric. I really want Pam to find someone else for now on the show, someone good (NOT Roy). I'm excited to see where this goes.
