Stay-at-home mom to a beautiful 5 1/2 month old baby boy. My husband's co-worker got us totally hooked on The Office and now I can't get enough of it or Jam.
Stanley and the simple pleasures in life. Spoilers for Traveling Salesmen.
I loved Babylon,so I decided to read some of your other stories. You write fantastic last lines. I really like this treatment of Stanley, and the way you show his sense of humor lurking beneath his bored exterior.
Author's Response: It struck me, watching this episode, that Stanley probably has a pretty mean sense of humour (like when he teased Michael about seeing Dwight all the time in The Return). Thanks for contintuing to read, Fliz0nToast!
Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. I adore this story!
It's incredibly well-written, and I love the voyeuristic, guilty pleasure feeling that comes while reading it.
Can't wait for more! :)
I really enjoyed the way you dealt with the various Office workers. I'd love to see another set of drabbles from you. :)
Nicely done. I like the simplicity of this ending. Nothing big and angry and scary. Just sadness. You can sort of feel Karen's heart break a little in that last sentence.
When her mom gets sick, it seems like it'll be alright. Set sometime in the future with Jim and Pam married. Wow...I really liked this. I teared up toward the end.
All the lights are changing red to green. From denial to truth in an enclosed space. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. I love this story. I want to write a long, detailed review praising all the fabulous aspects of this story, but alas my brain will not let me as my baby boy kept me up much of the night and I am now quite sleep deprived.
I will say, though, that I love the idea of Jim going to Pam's art show because he was always such a big supporter of her art.
I also love the way there isn't a lot said about Jim and Karen's break-up. Karen isn't villified. The break-up was just part of a bigger sequence of events, as it would be in real life.
Also, the last line? Brilliant.
Five different scenarios in which our man finds out Pam is pregnant.I especially loved this last chapter. That part with Creed at the end made me laugh. All of it was so cute! (Oh, and the pushing the eggs away after a few bites? That's how I was when I was pregnant with my son. Very good small detail.)
Author's Response: I';m glad you liked it! Sometimes eggs make me feel ill, and I've never been pregnant, so I figured it might be good for Pam. Thanks for reviewing!
This totally made me laugh! I feel sorry for Ryan's roommate.
Author's Response: Yay, thanks!
I really enjoyed this!
The writing is beautiful.
I liked this, it was a nice little moment to capture--in a sad way.
Author's Response: Thank you! I feel a little sorry for Karen, but I won't be sad when she finally gets the memo, you know? Happy Easter!
Over a year after Casino Night, Jim is really happy with Karen. But when Pam finally confesses her feelings to Jim, is it too late for them?
Wow...I can't wait to see where this is going!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
He should've been happy that Karen had finally warmed up to his joking ways. He wasn't.
10 I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I really love the flow. I'm a fan of Karen not being crazy, and nudging Jim toward Pam (even if we'll never see it on the show.) I like the sort of playfulness in this chapter, with the dual blogs (even though we don't know what's in them yet.) Anyway, I love it and can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. And *I* know what's in the blogs, so you'll know soon, too. :)
This totally made me giggle. I needed that this morning. Thanks.
still loving this! made me laugh again! i hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Definitely squee worthy! Such happy fluffy cuteness.
Loved this line: I never say no to jello.
Hee...this made me laugh. Good job!
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
This was simply a beautiful ending.
Loved it completely!
Author's Response: thank you!
I really like this story...I'm not sure if I've reviewed yet or not.
Anyway, I thought this chapter felt very appropriate given all that has happened to Pam in such a short period of time.
Love this whole story, but really love this chapter. I love that Dwight and Angela think Pam was brave and are sticking by her. and I love Dwight sticking up for Pam. And I'm glad Pam stuck to her guns even when Jim came back to talk to her. Very nice. Can't wait for the fifth part.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. That look that Angela gave Jim during Pam's speech had me really wondering what she was thinking.
Inspired by the finale and the seasons that preceeded it. Enough said.
10 Okay, I don't think I've reviewed yet so shame on me!
I love your writing style. You have a wonderful way with words.
Jim and Pam are perfectly in character for me in this story. You capture the awkwardness and intimacy of this first date perfectly. Truly.
I really can't wait for more. Although, I think I'll be genuinely sad when this story ends, so keep it going as long as you can/need to/feel is appropriate.
Oh yeah, did I mention that this is my favorite first date fic?
Thank you so much! As I've mentioned in earlier responses, I had the hardest time with this chapter - never could get it quite right, so it really helps to hear you say that you think they're really in charazter here. And wow that it's your fave FD fic - eeee!!
Thanks for reviewing!
10 Just had to review again...still so good!
I love the palpable tension in this chapter. You write that very well.
I still feel like these two are in character. I like that you have Jim describing how wrong it felt to be at corporate, I love that Pam felt bad about making fun of Jan, and I think it's nice that you actually mention Jim going to find Karen to tell her in person that it was over. (As opposed to glossing over it or on the phone.)
Can't wait for more!
Hey, never feel like you have to justify reviews; they are sooo welcome, trust me!
THanks again for so many thoughtful comments. I'm of the opinion that Jim didn't just break up with Karen via telephone (and he damned sure wouldn't have just left her in NY without a word -- can you imagine??).
I'm really glad you enjoyed this; I have a ball writing sexual tension between these two (which makes me sound like a skeevy little perv, I realize, but...eh, well).
Thanks again for reviewing!
10 I still absolutely love this story! And it isn't just the story, it's the way you write. You have a beautiful way with words!
Author's Response: Thank you so much -- I'm really glad you're enjoying it!
What Karen is up to while Jim and Pam are on their first date, and beyond.
I like this, especially Karen's friends and their reactions to her nonchalance over her saga with Jim and Pam. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading!
Just wanted to say I love that you named their son Owen. That's my little boy's name (7 1/2 months). Great story (and series...loved The Zoo too.)
Author's Response: Oh, how cute! I love the name Owen. :) Thanks for the review! I'm so glad you liked them!
