I lack inspiration at the moment.
Keep writing for me!
their flaws might just doom them.Oh, I don't think it's cheesy at all. Since I'm a big nerd. But, I love how Jim says that he can't live in his head anymore. Your depiction of his inner monologue is so realistic and harried and frustrated and feckin' awesome :)
Pam takes a trip to Target, buys a swimsuit, and gets some inspiration from an unlikely source.Woohoo! Power Pam! Aw, that was a good story. I feel bad for Pam that she didn't get to flaunt it, but no one else did, so it's ok I suppose :)
Author's Response: Hopefully Pam will get a chance to flaunt it for Jim sometime this summer! Thanks for the review, secondrink!
I never thought of Jim and Pam's time apart as though it were a breakup, but that is kind of true. Nice idea. I also like the idea of them tackling each other on the balcony, hehe.
Author's Response:
I think many of us would like to tackle Jim, but hands off ladies, he's taken by Pam now!
Thanks for your review!
Wow, their reasoning for eloping makes so much sense! Especially Jim's point about being in front of the cameras for so long. Great idea!
Author's Response:
Thank you! As much as Jim hams it up for the camera, he seems to be very private when it comes to his feelings for Pam. That was my reasoning for having him agree to elope.
Stay tuned for more!
Ack! I was bummed out for a sec until I read your end notes...so glad this will continue! I just wish Jim could have given her a damn daisy or something in the episode. Stupid boy ;)
Author's Response: It's never, ever easy when it comes to Jim/Pam. However, what Jim gave her is better then a flower (I think). Thanks for the review secondrink.
He has to make her say it, make her realize she can.

I have no idea if this is good or not! oh, no, enough with the coy self-deprecation; this is good. I love the last line in this chapter.
Author's Response: Wow! Well, I dont feel so intimidated anymore! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Ok, I don't know why this doesn't have way more reviews, because it is all that is awesome and I love it. Original take on the Jimster and his famiglia and it's just plain interesting. Good job!
Author's Response: Thank you - that is very kind. Feel free to recommend it! Thanks for the feedback!
YEAH!!! I love Kandy...it's just so right. Those two need some good lovin' and to have some fun. Good story and both perspectives were well-written
Author's Response: Oh, Kandy definitely has to happen! They are perversely perfect for each other. Thanks so much for reviewing, I really appreciate it!
My answer to the 55 word challenge. This is a very short glimpse into Jim and Pam at work the day after their first date.
ohmygawd that is amazing. I think you've just written my fav 55-worder. Hmmm...I'm so glad that this kind of wonderful, day-after stuff is even in the realm of possibility now ;) Cheers to S4!
It’s time for the first annual Dunder Mifflin National Sales Meeting in Las Vegas. What will go down in the city of sin, where alcohol flows, love can be won, lost and won again, and where drive-through weddings are all-too-available?
That was a great chapter! I love your Ryan and Kelly :) Especially the extra note that Kelly left for Dwight and the Cristal. Oh, and Dwangela's "milk and cookies". Yikes!
ok, that last part about The Lady and the Tramp reminded me of Karen telling Jim that he had homeless hair. hehe...this is an interesting take on the first date. I really think that it will take those two a little while to get use to being openly affectionate with each other.
Author's Response: Gracias! I wasn't even thinking about the homeless hair, but you're right; I guess that would make Jim the tramp! I also thought that it's going to take some time for these two to be comfortable in an openly romantic relationship. There's been so much angst and unspoken feelings between them for so long, it'll probably be a pretty difficult transition. (I'll guess we'll find out in a month!)
I don't know how you do what you do, but I likes it! Can't wait for more of this. This would make a v v cute episode :)
Jim and Pam surrender to silence after "The Job." A virtual smut-angst festival!
This is smut. Serious, hard-core, unapologetic, squirm in your seat, not-safe-for-work, wild and unhinihibited smut, punctuated by merciless and heart-wrenching angst. In a couple of chapters, there will be smutty angst, and in others, angsty smut. There's even a couple of chapters with no smut at all and some fluff-happy-funny mixed in! But it all ends with a happy bang! Haw. You were warned.
You don't need to stop! That was a great chapter; I never thought about the "day after", really, and your description is perfect :) HA! Poor Jim; he's almost worse off than before...almost.
Author's Response: See, now that is exactly what I was thinking...Out of the frying pan, into a giant vat of boiling grape soda...
“Oh you little bitch." I don't know what it is about this line coming from Jim, but I freaking love it. LOL. I think it's delightfully both in and out of character for him. hehe.
A series of vignettes inspired by random song clips from the iPod. No chronological order, so sit tight. It might be a bumpy ride through time.OMG, this chapter has solidified this story as the best JAM songfic ever. I'm just beaming as I read each one :) Fantastic dialogue...great songs...realistic settings. Guh. So good.
Author's Response: secondrink! So much fun to read this after it's been sleeping for awhile! And what a great compliment! When I started writing this, I was so new to the whole fandom and fanfic thing that I didn't even know there was a genre of stories called "songfic" so I'm especially thrilled with your comment. Thank you so much!
What a way to wrap this up. Beautiful stuff. {I cry during the Olympics too ;) }
Author's Response: So do I! Hello, fellow sucker for a sappy moment! Thank you so much for reading this and being kind enough to comment. I see a return to vignettes very soon - they're so much fun to write, you don't have to worry about plot, and they finish fairly quickly and easily (TWSS). Thanks so much for the sweet comment on the boards, too!
What if Pam had gone along with Michael and Dwight to the convention? Was she ready to see Jim? Was Jim ready to face Pam?OMG! You and your fic are made of win. That slap was v v satisfying; your Pam is v realistic. I kind of wish things had happened this way.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for you kind words. I'm so glad that you find my characters realistic. I struggle so much with that. I agree. If things had happened this way, we may not have been subjected to Karen!
I love your writing style. It's introspective (sp?) without being sappy or uber-angsty. And you're right about Dwight. He would be a little put out if Jim didn't say goodbye :(
Thank you so much for your kind words. I had just finished watching Travelling Salesmen and I love that hug that Dwight gives Jim as he leaves and I wanted to include some of that. I was worried, though that this came too soon after Conflict Resolution and Dwight wanting Jim gone to have it work. Thanks again for your review.
Aw, that's cute :) It kind of reminds me of The Giving Tree for some weird reason. Which is a good thing! haha
Yes! this a great first fic. I always wondered what it was about Andy that could keep Karen from killing him, and this is completely plausible. I'm excited for another chapter :)
The details of the bet are great! I kind of want to start a real fan pool for that :)
Author's Response: Hahaha....That's hilarious....I hope you do start a pool....Thanks for reading!
58 Yes, this was creepy, but so them I think I can excuse it. XD
Author's Response: Yeah, the only way you could write Dwight/Angela is creepy. I can't think of any normal way to do it. Thank you for the review secondrink.
Ok, that was some reeeeally good Drunk!Pam. As you can see by my screen name, I kind of dig her too :) Great series!
Author's Response: That is a great screen name! Yeah, I love Drunk!Pam, so I"m glad that you thought I did her justice. Thank you for the review secondrink.
I forgot to review this and tell you that greyhounds are my favorite drink, which was only reinforced when Johnny K said that he always made them when he was a "bartender" in NYC. Yes!
But then you had to go a ruin it. hahaha....I actually liked this bit, however horrifying it may be.
10 OMG...that's the best fic ending I have ever encountered. YES! Gold stars, thumbs up, Stanley nickels, and Schrute bucks to you.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you very much, I honestly only expected to hear from Wert himself about the ending, so this is a pleasant surprise. Thank you.
