Oh, so good! I could totally see this being the way it happens between them...Pam finally working up the courage after a few hints from Jim. Also loved the ending, it seemed like you wrote Jim as being a bit hesitant, needing a few seconds (but just a few) to really let Pam in again. Seemed so in character for both of them :)

Though now, I'm starting to feel bad for Karen :( It's always someone with the heartache...

Author's Response:

If episodes 1-3 are any indication - this isn't going to be at all easy.  Jim's going to make Pam work for it a little and that's more than OK.  I'm gearing up though - because I fear it's going to cause me (and the rest of us) more than a little heartache. 

And if Karen bears the brunt of it...so be it.

Really I just want Jim and Pam both happy and I just can't bring myself to see them achieving that without each other.

Obviously. ;)

Loved this--it felt so real and so true to the characters. Pam wouldn't be able to let go of 10 years of her life so easily, and I think it would be so real for her to go back for a bit--especially if Jim is gone.

Particularly loved the part towards the end where she & Roy work their way back to each other--just loved the way you wrote it.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the detailed review! It's good to know that others think it's true to the characters. Thanks again!

This was perfect!! Really--I mean that. Loved your choices of characters for the ghosts, you had their voices down incredibly well. Loved your Pam voice too--all of the asides,etc. had me giggling the whole way through the first few chapters then aching a bit through the last 2.

This was just so clever and so well done. Loved it!

Author's Response: Thank you! I worried about my Pam voice a bit- she sounds a little too much like me for my taste here. I'm relieved it worked for you!

This was so sweet! You perfectly captured what those moments are like--the instant connection, then the real disappoint at a missed opportunity. And this was perfectly in character for Jim, Pam & Roy. I really enjoyed it!

Author's Response: Thanks!  I was a little worried Roy would seem a little too concerned, but he did forget her.  On their first date.  Even he wouldn't realize that was a huge screw up.

This was adorable. I had a hunch Pam was going to be item #8, but was still so excited when I saw the list.

Particularly loved how you wrote her progression to getting to a point where she was able to open up the bag.

Chapter 2 for when Jim gets the package??

So much fun to read--wonderfully hot & cute. Loved the line towards the beginning about planting a tree.

Author's Response: Thank you so much.  I like that line, too.  Happy JAM!

This is so much fun to read!  You're mixing the 2 worlds really well...can't wait to see what happens next!

I continue to super love the way that you write Pam & Jim.  I think you capture their perfect balance of fun playfull-ness and crazy chemistry, which is really rare in Jim/Pam fanfic these days.

The way you write their dialogue, whether joking, teasing or serious, is consistently on target, which is really what makes your stories so good and fun to read.  Also loved your characterization of Pam and that she knows what she wants here, and particularly liked your version of Pam's explanation of why they should take things slightly slower (so that they can have more firsts...yay!).

And of course, loved them getting carried away in the theater.  I don't know what you're talking about--you're really quite good at writing the hot stuff :)

Really enjoyed this!! (Clearly, as my review is now a novel.)

Loved this, and love that you wrote about Angela in the first place--I don't really like her, but I finder her so fascinating.

Thought you did a great job of capturing Angela's voice here--generally prim, but with little hints of nice (loved that line about how her pursed lips) and of sexuality.

And loved the end--how he pushed her chair in with one hand and that made her wonder. Great details.

Author's Response: Thanks yippee (love your name, btw- could you BE any more excited about fanfic? :) ).  I feel the same way about Angela- obviously she's not a likable person, but she is interesting.  I'm glad you liked the end- I was worried it was too abrupt.

Gosh, Pam can be so cruel sometimes!  I liked the way you captured their conversation-it seemed very them.   The image of them both sittin in their driveways in the dark talking to each other is just so sad & so sweet at the same time.

Really liked your take on Jim and his emotions during his here.  It's beautifully written and a bit different--his little moment of triumph at actually being the one to inflict a bit of pain during his confession and his "defense" of his feelings is so human and recognizable.

Author's Response:

Thank you, Yippee! Yes, Jim is human. Sometimes that gets overlooked in fics and I wanted really show that even Sensitive Jim Halpert probably has some ugly things going on under the surface.

Thank you!
