I support the WGA.
Crossover with "My Name is Earl". Pam is on Earl's list, and it's up to him make things right. Pre-Casino Night.
Wow! I wasn't expecting to like this, but it's really wel written, and you've got me really curious!
More, please!
This is from Karen's point of view - my attempt at getting into her head and fleshing out just what's going on there. (Perhaps I should clarify that this is decidedly not a Crazy!Karen fic.)
And while it's obviously centered on Karen, Jim and Pam are very much in the background.
It'll ultimately be a two-parter, probably no more than that. Seriously. I mean it this time.
Awww! This is really well crafted, and it completely crystalizes the difficulty of Karen's position. I can't wait for the next one!
Aw. This is so sweet and feels so authentic to who Roy is. The line about how he doesn't understand why women like the skinny salesman really brought it into focus for me -- he's trying so hard, but he just doesn't have the wiring to make it work.
Thank you; this piece was an admirable character study.

Hee! Yay! Safety first, Jim.
Pam spills her secret, but Karen is listening.
Heee! You totally got me. It's lovely as a fake-out one shot, but I really hope you're planning a follow up!
Nicely done!
Jim, Pam, Pam's 'all time favorite' movie, and the little push they need. Spoilers up to Phyllis's Wedding. A little angst, a little fluff...my first ever Office fic, just a little almost-Valentines Day oneshot I wrote yesterday. Enjoy, feedback would be awesome.Yay, that was so sweet! I literally made an "Eeeeee!" sound when Jim told Pam to shut up and say it again.
Yay. I think I may have actually purred while reading this. I really liked Pam's line about "this is coming out a hell of a lot better than I thought it would;" I could definitely hear it.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like this. I'm trying to make it as realistic as possible. I hope the rest of the chapters keep the same feeling.
Thank you for this lovely story, and for taking me out of the funk I've been in since 9:01 last night!
This is just lovely. It feels so Phyllis and so unexpected at the same time. Reading it made me feel all warm and dewy-eyed, and now I'm going to go read everything else you've written!
Jim and Pam fight. Pam finally has her breakthrough.

I really, really liked this! I think you got the beats of the fight exactly right -- it felt like a natural arc. And I liked that even when she's being brave, Pam still can't quite bring herself to come out and say it!
(Are you thinking of continuing this? 'Cause, yay!)
Oh, thank you so much! I was concentrating so hard on getting the beats right, so I'm really glad to hear you mention that!
And yup, I'm definitely thinking of considering this, even though it says complete. You guys have convinced me :)
Jim checks his voicemail after the cocktail party.
Eeek! That was really fun to read; I hope you're planning on writing more. Or a continuation of this!
Author's Response: Yay! Another Eeek! I'm not crazy about chapter two, but I have some fun plans for chapter three, which should be up in a day or two. I hope you enjoy it!
This is really well done. You did a nice job of keeping Karen on that justifiably-pissed-but-evil line. Also, Pam was really sweet and in character. I can't wait to read more!
For all she’d tried to deny it, there was something about him that simply made her happy.

That was really, really nice. You captured the best of Michael -- so hopelessly, bottomlessly annoying, but with glimmers of profound underlying sweetness. I was really taken by surprise by how much I liked this!
Yup, it’s a post-Cocktails fic! With a bit of a twist. Karen does a bad thing, and Jim is about to suffer the consequences…Eeeee! More, more, more! Please, I have to know what happens next!
I love lots about this story, but particularly your treatment of Karen as somebody who's being a little irrational because she's not used to being the insecure one in a relationship. I really liked the detail about the gasoline game, and your Michael voice was cringe-inducingly accurate.
Hurry! I need more!
I think you broke my brain.
This is, like, everything I've ever wanted to read in a season 3 fanfiction, but written carefully and deftly and without sinking to cliche or losing touch with the characters. Including Karen and Roy, which is so rare and so awesome!
To conclude: Please post the next chapter while I build this shrine to you in the backyard.
PS: The cliffhanger is killing me!
Oh my god. I'm laughing so hard right now. THANK YOU!
I am beyond happy to hear you say that I'm staying true to the characters, because this is, like, hugely dramatic for me. I never write drama like this. I mean, physical fighting? Yeah, never written that before. So naturally I was really worried that there was too much action and dialogue and not enough, you know, deep authorish stuff... Wow, I sound like a complete tool, but you know what I mean, right?
And I'd like to request that the shrine include both candles and incense, because sometimes shrines just include one or the other and I think that's just so wrong.
This is a really interesting premise, and very well-executed. I'm really excited to see where you go with all the Jam-y possibilities! Michael's fake tan really cracked me up, and I'm just dying to know what happens next. Update soon, please!
This is a really elegant piece. I love that Jim knows that he isn't in love with Karen in the same way, knows that he ought to be pursuing Pam but just can't.
My favorite thing about it, though, is how deftly you humanize Karen: We start to think about her the same way Jim does, and worry about the fall she's been set up for.
Jim had always been amazed at the contrast between the loud, assertive, awake Karen and the pliable, yielding lump of quietly tranquility that she became when sleep overtook her. That's just a really nice line.
Good work!
Hee! This was really fun to read -- mostly because your Dwight voice was very accurate. I hope you do decide to follow up.
This is my take on Bad, Bad Office Fic.
It's very, very bad. Like, 11 year old bad.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. I make no money.
Hee hee hee hee -- it's so bad!
But in the best possible way. "'I'll totally be pregnant in the next chapter'" cracked me up!
Hee hee hee. That is a very bad fic. Hee. Actually, I think I might have read it on ff.net.
Hee hee -- I'm definitely interested, and I want to know what happens next!
Thanks for this; I'm so curious about what happens next!
That was really nice. I think you really captured the voice of Pam-with-her-courage-screwed-up, and Jim, not really feeling it with Karen (or his entire life!) but not wanting to be rash or cruel.
I can't wait to see where you go with this.
Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.Hurrah! This is a really fun premise, and I hope you're telling the truth about more soon. ^^
I'm kind of in love with your treatment of Pam's impression of Ryan, especially (okay, well, she sort of doesn’t), It feels really true to the characters on The Office, and also the apathetic pettiness of an actual office.
Also, I'm happy to beta for you (if only because I want to read more, sooner!) if you still need one.
Heeeeee! This is awesome, you capture Dwight's creepy, disturbing, misogynist-but-not-exactly voice exactly.
Lots of fun to read, thank you!
This is excellent. It's compelling and dangerous and bloodthirsty and surprisingly affecting.
Second person felt like a risky choice to me, but I think it really paid off; it makes it feel more personal and more nervous and tenuous, which makes the second-to-last paragraph even more startling and traffic-stopping.
I wish I had more constructive feedback, but I'm pretty sure you broke my brain.
Bloodthirsty! Wow.
I'm glad you liked it, I was definitely going for that intimate feeling with the second person, and then the GAH when you realize what she/you are doing.....eeeeeeevil, like a hobbit.
