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....
Oh, bless the fluff. I really don't know where I would be without it during these tremulous times in JAM land. I can't wait to read about the rest of the items!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review - I am trying my hardest to churn out the fluff to soothe my soul as well! Happy Office Thursday!!
The title pretty much says it all: the fantasies of Jim and Pam and the naughty actings out of those fantasies.
This story will go as long as you, the readers, want it to.
Well, I'm certainly glad you "went there" because "there" is seriously an awesome and hot place to be. Damn! When's the next chapter coming!?
Author's Response:
Thanks! :)
Next (and final) chapter will/should be posted sometime tomorrow, unless my computer or MTT craps out on me.
8 When true love goes a little too far... bad!fic for the truly twisted Jam fan in all of us.
The makeout session while drowning... I have to applaud that. And it's too bad about that boy named Pam. Thi is upper tier Bad!Fic, you should be very proud. ;)
Author's Response: Wow! What a compliment. I knew it was bad, but upper tier bad? I feel so proud. And now I'm wondering if this is really something I should be proud of... but I am, so thanks!
"'Jiiiiiiiiim. Come to beeeed,' Pam’s voice is light, and it mistily floats down the empty staircase as it swirls about the room, echoing like a siren’s song."
A series of one-shots. There are times when Jim and Pam's relationship seem a little supernatural.
I'm so excited that you kept going with this, I never expected you too because I always thought that first chapter would be a one-off. Loved your fluff therapy! Please continue. :)
And Jim being a horn-dog is never a bad thing... you must know this by now.
I really love the fact that you've added another chapter to this little series. I absolutely adore the concepts -- a type of mythical, paranormal or magical side to Jim and Pam's relationship. It's so unlike anything else I ever read with the two of them, so it's definitely a treat to see another addition. This new chapter was really exciting, and I don't think that you have anything to worry about. It was certainly otherworldly, and you write remarkably well. I hope that we readers can see another addition some time in the future!
This is an older story I'm posting for MTT readers. It was inspired by a scene in The Fire when Pam lists her favorite movies, but Jim cuts her off before she can name her all time favorite.
Standard disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I'm just playing with them for a bit. That's what she said.
I was going to comment about Toby's fav's as well, which just made me love him more, but I could definitely see Pam listing it as her all-time favourite as well.
Well done on the story! Very simple but poignant, just like Say Anything. Jim Halpert is the new Lloyd Dobler, there is no question about it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Say Anything is my favorite movie and the Jim/Lloyd comparisons are probably why I love The Office so much.
Pam hates weddings (and organza).
Wow! For being new to Office fic, I'd say that your first try went off without a hitch. Really, this was a lot of fun to read, so well done. :)
And I totally dig the idea of Halpert hissing. Very nice.
Author's Response:
Jim clearly did not like Andy's idea at all. Your comment was so awesome. I really appreciate the encouragement.
16 Jim and Pam think they are keeping a secret.
And the winner for Best Fic Title goes to...
Well, that's pretty obvious. I have to admit that I feel a bit bad for Toby, even if his crush on Pam tends to be more on the pathetic side. But you handled it so well! I can't wait to read more.
A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event. Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).
This promised happy ending better be freaking happy because you're just breaking my heart here!
And I swear that was meant to be a compliment, despite how it sounded. And aAs much as it hurts me to read it, you write angst remarkably and painfully well.
Author's Response:
Heh -- I promise: the proportion of my angst to happiness is always balanced; it's just a kind of delayed gratification. LOL.
Thanks so much for reviewing!
6 A teenage Pam goes to meet up with Roy at his summer job at the Home Depot, and while waiting for him she runs into Jim for the first time.
A response to the summer job challenge. Part 1 of my "Construction of the Heart" series.
I love this! But I have to admit that it's almost a tease for it to be a one-shot, especially about Marywood. ;) Very well written, especially the characterization. Awesome job!
Author's Response: Oh wow!! Such awesome compliments. Thank you so much for the amazing comments. I really appreciate it. Thank you for reading and reviewing :)
I'm so excited for the next chapter! And I'm really hoping that the word "avoidance" just gets completely stricken from their vocab. How frustrating. ;) Loved this, by the way:
"He either had diarrhea of the mouth, which was just a disgusting phrase..."
Hilarious.
Author's Response: lol thank you!!! yeah the next chapter will be a new word for them. hopefully something more fun than avoidance.
This is a great idea. Please continue!
Author's Response: Oh - thank you very much. I have a few more scenarios in mind, so thanks for reading and taking the time to let me know what you think.
Whoa. Definitely my favourite pregnancy-related story thus far. Can't wait for this to be continued. You've got Jim and Pam down, very nice work.
Loved this: She laughed and wiped her eyes. "I don't believe you...continue."
Author's Response:
Sorry this is late, but I just got around to responding to all my reviews!!
Thanks for reading! And I try to get their banter right. I should, I watch the dvds wayyyy too much!
It's funny that you mention that about the third date because I was thinking of Kissing Jessica Stein while I was reading it. And you're right, it's totally FIERCE. Tyra Banks fierce, in fact.
And if you know a Ben, or a sort-of-Ben, then why exactly haven't you snatched him up?
Loved this, BTW, especially the Roy date. :)
Author's Response: :::sigh::: i love things that are tyra bank fierce. i\'m glad you enjoyed! i think if the office has taught me anything, it\'s that office relationships... are... awful and killer. i\'ll probably stay out of it :)

Being Jim's big spoon? That pretty much tops my fantasy list. And I can't believe I'm actually going to leave that as a review, but there it is. I'm loving these, keep them coming!
Author's Response: I somehow missed this review until now, but thank you very much for the kind words and the review VelvetMorning.
Ideas for Cold Openings (the pre-title gags) always pop into my head. So these will be just a bunch of teasers that, hopefully, you will find funny. I don't know how many I will post but I'll keep putting them up as they occur to me.
That gave me a good laugh on a lousy day. Thanks. :)
Author's Response: Now THAT is the highest compliment I could ever hope for. Thank you!
Post The Job, Pam and Jim's first date.
...A BadFic response.
Love the addition of the confused astronomers. Brilliant. :D
Yet another story inspired by a song by Ingrid Michaelson called Breakable. I really wanted to tell a story about people being just that -- breakable, and ultimately how grace helps keep us from falling apart. So yeah -- a nice fluffy holiday piece. ;-)It's like, completely, utterly, borderline unfair how perfect your Jim in, especially in all his imperfections (that makes more sense in my head than it does here). This chapter just made me weepy.
Author's Response: No, that absolutely makes sense VelvetMorning. I think that's totally what makes Jim perfect...is all his utter imperfections wrapped up in such a sweet and funny package. I'm glad you think of him the same way. You're right...it's totally unfair. I want to be Pam! Thanks for the review!
This is a holiday inspired fic based on Season Two's Christmas Party. A look into what inspired Jim to get the teapot, and why Pam swapped Dwight for it. From there, it is an AU look at what happens when Pam realizes that Jim took back the infamous Christmas Card and why she's desperate to find out what Jim wrote.
The awesome levels on this story are seriously through the roof. And thank you for not giving into huge declarations as soon as Roy is out of the questions. In case you didn't know, the awesome level just went even higher because of it.
did I miss this review? apparently. So sorry! Thank you for reviewing me VM, and I'm glad this is awesome. Yeah, I was torn about it, I mean we all want them to declare their love, but in reality no way that just do it. So as much as I wanted to rush I had to take it slow and I'm really glad that rang true to you.
Thanks again.
I actually gasped out loud, I was so excited, when I saw that this was updated. It was quite serendipitous, actually, seeing as how I just re-read the first two chapters yesterday.
I love that you've made Pam write Jim a card! I wasn't really expecting it, and what Pam wrote was just so sweet. I can't wait to see the next chapter! Please don't make us wait so long this time around! ;)
The only thing that disappointed me about this story is that you didn't post ALL of it LIKERIGHTNOW. And I actually giggled like a schoolgirl after reading the premise because I was so excited. That doesn't happen ever. Don't make up wait too long! ;)
Two days after the Booze Cruise...what might've happened if Jim had confessed sooner.
Sometimes I wish that you weren't such a skilled writer, because that way I wouldn't be drawn like a moth to a flame to your stories and the angst within. There's a happy ending in this story somewhere, I'm sure, but this whole waiting thing sucks. :P
I'll decode what I just wrote: I really like this story. And please don't make up wait too long for more!
Aww, you're too sweet! I'm glad you're enjoying the story in spite of the angst; I know some people find it too heavy at times. I just can't help myself.... :o) But yeah, there's a happy ending in there somewhere; you just have to ride a big old angst wave to get to it, LOL.
Thanks so much for reviewing!
A look at the an angsty side of Jim and Pam. Things happen, insecurities come forward, and moments from the past haunt their future. But they will fight through it.
This is such a lovely story! Although I'm actually angry at myself that I started reading it now during all the angst, and there's no follow up chapter to make it better... yet. ;) Please bring the happy!
What if Roy was lying when he said he'd never cheated on Pam? What if Pam was always a little less healthy than she let on? What if everything, everywhere, is only meant to fall apart?Shut. Up. And by that I mean Keep. Going. When you write these little trinkets that end up turning into spun gold, I really wish that you would just post it all at once because I've never been that good at waiting. Your writing is beyond gorgeous. Poor Pam stories always end up awful unless you actually know why it's "Poor Pam". What I mean is that Pam's confusion just makes sense (if that makes any sense) because you write it inexplicably well. I'm really looking forward to more of this. :)
Author's Response: haha I love this review. Thank you so much, and I wish that I could post it all at once!!! But don't worry I'm posting as fast as it comes to me and I'm absolutely breathing this one so hopefully it will come quickly. Your compliments are amazing and just make me want to write forever!! Thanks again and I hope it stays good for you ;-)
The fact that the end notes include "romance", "cabins" and "candlelight" really only turns me into everyone else, which is to say that I am another one of your demanding readers. The new chapter has to be here, like, yesterday. Or, in Jim's words, "You're killing me".
In a good way.
