Huge office fan. First the Brit. version and now the American version even more so. Recently discovered fanfiction -- its a great outlet. I like enjoy trying to be creative since my job is so very boring (think The Office, except not funny. God do I miss school). Always happy to beta, although sometimes I can't promise on turnaround times.
5 times Pam shook Jim Halpert up. And it's about damn time.
No spoilers in sight. Nothing but some fluff as sweet as candy floss....
Wait... Karen didn't follow Jim into the men's room? The girl's losing her edge. Seriously, though, this is really cool. I like how the tone of the gift changes so abruptly in Jim's head. Keep it coming!
The grandmother storyline is really touching and well done. Nice work!
Author's Response: Thank you! I felt I walked that very fine line between touching and sappy - glad you liked it!
Something I came up with on the fly... my take on what everyone was thinking during Pam's speech in Beach Games.
SEMI- SPOILERS FOR BEACH GAMES
This is well done, interesting, and cool. I especially like the Stanley and Kelly. Nice work!
I think you mean girl’s locker room, and in the fantasy, there’s usually girls in it.
Jim/Pam/Karen fun!!!
This is awesome as always. I can't beleive I missed this one the first time around. This is so well written and paints a very steamy picture to say the least. You seem to have a real feel for just how explicit to make everything. And I love this very PG line tossed in there among the heat: "and he hears Karen growl in that sexy way that she does when she really wants to be touched".
10 Wow. This is a great story. Well written and definitely hard-hitting. The finality of this ending is so painful and heartbreaking, with Jim discarding what are probably her final words to him ever. Great job.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! It killed me to write that ending, so I'm glad it came across well.
Five Vignettes that take place right after Beach Games and into the Season 3 finale, The Job.
Spoilers for both.
10 I really liked this... I think I've always had a bit of a hangup about Jim having to find out about the cancelled wedding through a back channel (Makes me a bit more apt to justify his Pam hostility). But I had almost forgotten about the text messages. Really liked reading that part-- it redeems Pam completely. Especially this one. So warm and so sad...
Do u think that u might visit me soon? I’ve never been to ct, either.
Great story! Massive stars for you.
Great writing-- lots of real laughs. I particularly love the second order TWSS, where difficult means hard and hard makes the joke. Great story!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, Night Swept! Poor Michael was finding those jokes wherever he could. He was a desperate, desperate man.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for reviewing!
Sometimes Pam things that Jim is a little bit too gentle with her.
I'm marking that it's complete even though I left room for more if I get the urge at some point (which I probably will).
This is awesome. After putting someone on a pedestal for so long, it can never be as good as imagined. I love that you didn't take the easy fluff route.
She’s worked so hard to be this New Pam and sometimes was stricken with the thought that maybe he didn’t like her as much this way
I'm glad you touched on this. I've wondered about this too. He fell in love with the first Pam, and he's with a very different one now. Also, the "action" sequences beyond hot. This is extremely well written. Great job!
Jim is getting married. He invites Pam to the wedding.
10 I really liked this. I actually found it kind of uplifting, since Michael getting out of the car is for me a much happier arc for Pam's future than if Roy had gotten out. I think Pam and Michael have a really interesting dynamic, and I thought their art show moment was the most touching moment of the whole last season. Great story!
The mood had changed quickly and they weren’t laughing anymore, but there was still a faint smile on his lips.
Fluffy smut. Totally new territory for me.
10 So hot... and then so sad. This is a great piece of writing. The back-story about Jim wanting to watch was really clever and unique. Great story!
After being dumped by Jim, Karen tries to take back control of her life... by kidnapping Jim! What nefarious plans does Karen have in store for him? Can Pam rescue Jim before Karen makes him a castrati? Why is Dwight obsessed with semen? All this and more inside! You'd think that maybe it'd be more of a crime drama than anything else, but I'm voting for the anything else.
And how come there's no option for Genres:Twisted? I'd use that.
Karen and Payback. Quite possibly my two favorite themes. This has all the makings of MTT's next great masterpiece. It's nice to see Karen has finally found the way to get through to Jim. Having Jim initially think it was still about winning him back is a nice touch too.
