I recently graduated from college and now work as an editor for a local publishing house.
I know my writing isn't anywhere close to brilliant, but I've decided to put it out there anyway, hoping that it will brighten someone's day, even if it's just my own.
Inspired by the finale and the seasons that preceeded it. Enough said.
10 Holy moly...
Look, I'm sorry if you're getting sick of my gushing, but I think I just died. Seriously. This was so amazing, and by the end I was nearly screaming, "just kiss her already!!!!" But at the same time I'm glad he didn't because I love the way that you prolong the tension and make it a million times more satisfying when it finally does happen.
So yeah, truth be told, you rock my socks girl7.
First of all: I can't tell you how much I appreciate your so vocal support (particularly over on TWoP) -- honestly, THANK YOU. (And I'm loving your Bad!Fic beyond belief...as well as the fact that you're majoring in English. :o)
Thanks so much for the review and all your support!
10 And now my night is complete. Seriously, it's possible I'm as addicted to your post-eps as I am to the actual show. If not more so /Jim.
I loved this. And I loved that the cameraman got to be part of it. And I loved the last line and gah! I loved it all.
THAT is an amazing compliment! This will go on a little longer (TWSS), but not too much more. TPTB got it perfect this time.
Thanks for the review (all the reviews, actually, as well as your AWESOME fic that left me in hysterics for a good seven minutes or so.)
:o)
Whoa. I'm trying to remind myself to breathe normally.
What a great chapter for this story. We got to see Jim and Pam finally kiss. And we learned Jim's true feelings for Pam, which was touching. And we heard Jim and Pam change the words to a heated argument in a restaurant, just like they did with Katy-purse-girl, which--for me--has ruined the words "definitely, definitely," "stress test it," and "you're horrible," for life! :)
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! That was the funniest freaking review I've ever read, by far! I'm still sitting here giggling....
Thanks for the laugh, Azlin (and for reviewing!) --
I really loved the way you resolved this. I especially liked that Karen urged him to talk to Pam. It's the way I'd like to think of her, even when I'm screaming at the television "Oh no you did not just call him Halpert! You little weasel!" Ahem. Not that I did that or anything. I'm just saying, hypothetically...
Author's Response: Thank you! Was calling him "Halpert" worse than calling Pam a bitch? Hee. But I like Karen fine, I'm just glad she won't be an obstacle anymore. Thanks again!
Aw! This is so adorable. I loved you both before and I love you even more now! Nicely done. :)
Author's Response: Aww, thanks, OtherKev! It was fun to do. Thanks for the kind words on TWoP also! - Kev.
I really love this. Especially the Michael one. It was honestly one of the most touching stories about Michael I've ever read. They were all great, but for some reason that one really resonated with me. Probably b/c I just watched Take Your Daughter to Work Day last night. I always feel sad for Michael after that episode.
Anyway, great job!
It's so funny you would say that about Take Your Daughter, because I was originally going to set his section during that episode, but couldn't make "Courage" work to my satisfaction. I kept changing my mind, then finally wrote this version in literally 90 seconds. Once I remembered Darryl telling Michael it takes courage just to be him, I knew it was simple: describe his life at one of its truely low points, then get him out of bed. Courage!
Thanks for commenting, Azlin!
Jim is nervous about their first date. Spoilers through "The Job".8 Aw, that's so cute. I love the idea of just having a little moment that's so them. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! "So them" is a great compliment- because I love them! Glad you liked.
Wow. This is my favorite chapter so far and it's 8 words long. Nicely done!
Author's Response: I think it is my favorite, too! Thanks so much for reading.
I have a story that's full of letters like this and sometimes I wish I had just stuck with the letters like you're doing. I really like this one too because it sounds a lot like Pam at this point.
"So, Pam. Who got that job in New York? And.....ROLLING!"
Stream of consciousness drabble from Pam's famous TH. Spoilers for "The Job."
YES!!! This is so A-W-E..S-O-M-E! I heart it a lot. Especially the freak-out moment as he comes in the door. :D Yay! Major squeeing happening right now!
Author's Response: You know she had to have been freaking out at that point....I mean, she's sitting there, trying to convince herself that she's OK if she never sees him again....and there he is!
This oneshot is based on a prompt at TWoP to write a fic based on a screen shot from Gay Witch Hunt showing that Jim has a note stuck to his monitor reading, "Smile!" This is what I imagine he was thinking when he looked at it. Oh, so, spoilers for Gay Witch Hunt, sort of.
10 Oh that's great! I was really hoping someone would write this story and I love the way it turned out! Yay for smiling Jim!
Oh wow. So initially I just passed this up because I was like Kandy? Please. Like anyone could ever make me believe that. But whoa!!! Kandy is now my new fav. Did not expect that.
Three years have passed since Pam left Scranton for New York, and Jim is still very much on her mind. Will a work-related trip to Rome, Italy be the catalyst that reunites Pam with Jim once and for all?
I think I probably already reviewed this chapter. But I had to come back and read this story again today because I just had this experience on facebook last night. Luckily, I've only been waiting for a few months, but then last night there he was! So that, combined with the premiere, meant yesterday was a very, very, very good day! :D
Thanks again for such a great chapter/story! It's still good on reread!
So I saw When in Rome this last weekend, and ever since then I've been dying to reread your story. Now that I finally have time, I'm excited. It's still just as good as I remember. :)
Aaaagh!!! I loved the cliffhanger, but whoa! Anyway, I just have to say I've been listening to that Lifehouse song A LOT lately, so I was excited to see you reference it. Nice job on the whole chapter.
I'm so excited/sad for the end. I can't wait to see what happens, but I don't want it to be over. Are you sure you don't want to write 50 more chapters about Jim and Pam deciding to just run away into the Italian countryside? Maybe backpack around Europe? Take the long way home to Scranton? Cuz I'd totally read all that. ;)
Isn't that Lifehouse song amazing?!! Try out the recent Goo Goo Dolls album as well. There's not a crappy song on that album and quite a few Jam songs on it as well (including the "Let Love In" one featured in that YouTube promo) I'm totally dreading the end of this fic... really. It's been such a wild and amazing ride and everyone has been so incredibly supportive- truly it's been a blessing. You might be on to something in terms of the fic idea... perhaps in the future... ;-) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, I love hearing from readers.
This was sooo good. Except that I kept yelling to Pam, "Girl, you just spent your entire first day in a foreign country in an internet cafe!!!" What is the world coming to?
But I loved the part where Karen runs into the stores. She'd totally want to go shopping, especially when she can shop somewhere other than the Steamtown Mall.
I can't wait for Pam to figure out that when he said he saw Michaelangelo's Last Judgment he meant that he actually saw it in person and not in some Art History book!
That was awesome. I really loved the flashbacks and the fact that they finally got together. I was a little surprised that they would go three months without seeing each other, but I was so happy when they finally did. Although, I'll admit a little piece of me was sad to see Jim leave Scranton and the rest of the office workers.
This was an excellent story though. And I had so much fun looking at all of your pictures and bonus presents at the end of each chapter! Thanks for writing it.
Awesome! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and for the awesome compliment! :)
I LOVED this! It's so true too, I would totally be checking facebook if I were Pam. Even in Italy. And I loved Jim's reflections at the Sistine Chapel. I can't wait for them to meet up.
I'm having so much fun with this story because with this chapter in particular it's like I got to go on a summer vacation in my living room. And sad as it may be this is probably the closest I'll get to a vacation for awhile. So I can't wait for more!
Cute!!! I really liked this a lot. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thanks for the very nice review. Glad you liked the story
Hmm....how to put this? At the end of Season 3, Jim asked Pam out on a date. I thought I might go out on a limb and fill in the blanks.... (SERIOUS FLUFF ALERT!)
You already have him, she told herself. He came back from New York because of you. There is nothing to prove tonight. She wished she could believe it.
Awwwwwwwww!!! Too cute for words. I loved their snuggling up together and all the happy moments. Yay for happy Jam, finally!
Yay Kev, for posting her first story! Clap, clap, clap... And suddenly everyone's clapping and demanding more Dundies. Sorry. Couldn't resist the line. Anyway, nice job! ;)
Author's Response: Thanks, so much Azlin! You share "Best Beta" Dundie with angryhaiku. (And what a relief to have my first one out there. Phew!) Thanks for your help!
Jim is getting married. He invites Pam to the wedding.
Aagh! Pam and Michael! NO NO NO!!! Sorry that's not a very nice review. I actually really liked this, but the end just made me freak out a little. It's really well written though, and I could see it happening, but I'd cry for Pam for a long, long time if it did.
Aw! Yay! This is so cute! Thanks for writing it. :)
I truly adored this story. I think instant message and chat fics are your calling. But really, I love all your stuff, so maybe it's just Jam that's your true calling. ;)
