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.
Phyllis' wedding doesn't turn out the way Pam had hoped . Unspoiled speculation for "Phyllis' Wedding" and AU after that (I assume!).
I can't tell you how happy I am that you've continued this! This chapter was great. Nothing overdramatic over OOC. Just really simple and honest.
and Roy did not wash those hand towels. I am 99% sure [/Dwigt]
Yeah, I'm with you. Handtowels are just not on Roy's list of priorities! :)
Thank you for the encouragement- I hope you like future chapters!
This is so good. You've been frighteningly accurate so far (do you get advanced copies of the scripts? Jeez!) and I'm really interested to see what you think will happen next!
Author's Response: Hee. I won't even read episode descriptions, not to mention advanced scripts! Thank you so much.
Ahhhhhhhh! I read this a while back but I must have fainted from the sheer awesomeness of it, because I never reviewed. (and that's just inexcusable!)
Okay, I'm about to quote a big chunk of this, 'cause that's just how I am. This here:
But you'd misinterpreted. You'd misinterpreted something so basic in your understanding of the world and all of a sudden the sky was violet and the grass was red. Dwight was pleasant and you knew nothing. So you ran. Because, really, what else can you do when the sky could fall on you at any minute?
Is some damn fine writing. The whole thing flows so beautifully and effortlessly. It's stream of consciousness, but it's not messy. It's perfect. Such a good explanation of what was going on in Jim's mind.
Oh, and lest I forget the ending let me just say HOLY COW. So beautiful. Can't compliment this enough.
Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
I'm so hooked. Jeeze, why don't you just give up fic and turn to crack. You could make more money and you obviously ahve a knack for getting people addicted.
I kid. But I do have a mini-heart attack every time I see this story has been updated. WOO!
You know what's good for those mini-heart attacks? Back rubs from Jim. Also, Roy does a nice foot massage. Let me know if you need their services.
Money? Who needs money. You know what I need? I need more Office! BOO to this freakin' 6 year hiatus of hell!
Hahaha! Dude, I didn't even realize that it was April Fools Day until I read this chapter. Now I have to go prank someone...
Author's Response: Who did you prank? What did you do? Give me all the juicy details!
Okay, you were not kidding about the curse! I was late to class because I was so engrossed in this chapter. Now, I suppose you could blame that on my own poor planning, but I like to think it was the curse.
And AH!! Why Pam why?!? Skip your stupid class!
But yeah, I'm loving the Jammy goodness that seems to be emerging in the story now.
Yes!!!! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!
And also, YES.
Loved Pam knocking over her chair, loved that Stanley helped Jim out, and LOVE Jim at the end. So very much love for this chapter.
Karen is a BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate. her. so. much.
Ooooh! Cliffhanger! I can't wait for the next chapter!
By the way, the whole thing with Meredith's son in the last chapter had me rolling on the floor!
I think Meredith's latchkey son could take Michael and Dwight on. They talk big but when push comes to shove, I think we both know who would run.
So much fun. Loved Pam's dare. Also loooooved this line:
He had the “concentrating on work” look about his neck.
This line:
It is his job to talk to them. No one cheers when I balance the books.
Made me snicker. Heh. And you're too cruel for not letting us see Pam's answer yet! Write more!
I ♥ Angela. She's so....Angela.
As you wish, Pam's answer is now available for your viewing pleasure.
I have so much love for this story. Every chapter leaves me feeling all bubbly like Kelly.
Hahaha! Excellent! Verrrrry sneaky. I love Angela's last line. Continue! (please?)
So glad you updated. This is a really interesting AU. And nice wrench to throw in things--Roy is still around! Gah!
Pam finally gets pushed over the edge when it comes to Jim and his new girlfriend. Post-Ben Franklin. YES! Heck yes. This is perfect. This is exactly what needs to happen. Right now, listen carefully (read carefully) because this is what you have to do now:
1) Quit your job
2) Become a writer for the show
Please? Because I want this to happen soooo badly. Pam has to finally just confront Jim. Just like this. You rock.
Okay, I'll stop now.
1) I got laid off recently, which is why I'm back to writing now. It worked out so well. :)
2) If you know anyone there, just let me know.
Thanks!
Yay! I love car problems. So many good fics come about because of them :)
Author's Response: You all seem to like car fics. I'm making a note of that now.
Very nice fic. I agree with the comment about the formatting, but I managed to get through this without any confusion.
I love that Pam gave him bonus gifts.
Simple and lovely. Just what drabbles should be :)
I'm tired of their pretending too.
Seriously? Rock ON!
This was so beautifully written. You do a lot with a few words. The ending is understated and perfect.
This was amazing. I loooooooooooooove how Jim just very gently leans in and whispers to her before kissing her. So perfect. This whole story is just perfect.
You need to keep writing amazing stories like this. Don't take another long haitus from fic-writing. It would be unfair to deprive us!
Pam deals with her sadness over Jim's relationship with Karen, while Jim tries to figure out why things are so awkward with Pam. And Karen confronts Jim about his feelings. Spoilers through Ben Franklin.
Squeeeee! Yes! This part:
She was terrified to do this tonight, but couldn’t endure another day like today.
I feel like this exact thing is keeping both of them in limbo on the show. One of them just needs to go for it. So props for making them do this in your fic.
This is extraordinarily beautiful.
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you sooo much!! :o)
I've always loved the secret connection between Phyllis and Jim...she always knows what's going on...Oh, I have the goofiest grin on my face right now. Thank you!
I love this so very very much.
Author's Response: Thank you shan!
I'm so glad that you wrote this!! I was just thinking to myself, I want someone to write a post-Wedding fic in which Pam tells Roy the real reason... and then *poof* it appeared!
I looooove the way you had this play out. Pam just breaking down and coming clean, finally. Roy showing real growth and humor. I just freaking love this so much.
Also, this line: Just smile like you mean it. No, that sounds like a song.
Made me laugh out loud.
