Bio:

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.

Date: June 21, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Imagine My Surprise

Oh my gosh! I love that he did that! And I love that he was so obsessed with looking at her card. It's totally like him to be that way, but it's also a lot like something I would do, which makes me like it even more I think. Anyway, I'd write more, but I'm too excited to read another chapter! This is getting really good! But how are they going to meet up if neither of them will call/email/go to the other one??? Must read more now!

Author's Response:

Okay, this review, like, makes me laugh and be all happy. I can't even explain it. Wow. Just. Wow :D

And trust me, I obsess over the cards also.

Pam's feelings at seeing her secret posted online, are kind of the same way I felt when I posted my first fanfic story. I still feel that way sometimes, actually. Like what if someone from my RL sees my stuff and knows it's me? Freaks me out. Anyway, nice job again with the pics. :)

Author's Response: Ihad a secret posted online and I freaked. Like Pam. Yeah, that part was really true to life. I am still scared someone will be like "yo is this your secret" and it was posted like a year ago.

Yay! I'm so glad she figured it out. And I'm glad Toby was so accommodating. For a second there I was worried that he wouldn't give it to her, but this fits S2 Toby better, I think.

Ack! I have to go! I'll review the rest later! 



Author's Response: I don't like mean Toby. I like pathetic Toby who helps out Pam and is nice and sweet. So, thats the Toby I write.

Date: June 21, 2008 Title: Chapter 8: Doesn’t Know It Yet

Never mind. That last chapter was too good to read without reviewing. I loved it! And I loved the postcard at the end. Seriously, the whole story was really, really good. I'm so glad you got that burst of inspiration! :D

Author's Response:

I'm so glad you caught up on this story. I'm glad that people liked the ending, because that was the chapter I was most hesitant about. Like, I spent 7 chapters building it up, and now they finally talk, and like, it was so open ended, and so, yeah. I'm glad people liked.

You rock Azlin. But you already know that. 

Summary:

This will be a series of self-contained chapters (oneshots) exploring various "what ifs" pertaining to episodes spanning seasons one through three. Each chapter will examine how things would've gone differently if either Jim or Pam had responded to a given situation the way that (most) fans had wanted or almost expected them to.

For example, the first chapter focuses on how things would've happened differently if Jim had confessed during those twenty-seven seconds of silence on the booze cruise when we were all holding our breath and hoping he would.

Among the other chapters I have mapped out: What if all the reminders of Jim in "Gay Witch Hunt" had provoked not a small, sad smile from Pam at the end of the episode, but rather, had motivated her to take action -- drive to Stamford to see him for the first time in four months? Or what if Jim had responded to Pam's text in "Diwali" via a post-Jagermeister phone call? What if Jim had walked in on Pam crying at the end of "Back From Vacation"? (...You get the idea.)

Again, though, each chapter will be confined to an episode, so it will essentially be a series of oneshots that are unrelated to each other.

Wow! This is fantastic! Obviously I have been remiss in not reading until now, but I'm almost glad I didn't because I can't wait to read more, and now I don't have to wait! :)


Author's Response:

I remember having the same reaction when I found "Garbage Can Letter" Azlin!  So glad you're enjoying this and thank you so much for the review!

Reviewer: Azlin Signed
Date: October 20, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: The Nature of Fun

back then, letters were the only means of communication across long distances and not everyone knew how to write.  It was a very big deal.

I liked what he said about writing letters, when we started.  He said it can be more intimate than whispering in someone's ear and that just, wow.  I mean, I like to write but I never thought about it that way.  

Those quotes illustrate exactly how I feel about letters. Only I have thought about it that way, like a lot. Enough to have written almost an entire story in epistolary form. ;)

So needless to say I liked that part.

Also, "And but so" is my new favorite way to start a sentence and it's due to you, not DFW because I know he's the one that does it and all, but he's him and so it seemed like a singular phenomena until I saw that you could do it too and it still worked.

I'm not making much sense am I? Anyway, I loved this whole story and I can't wait to see your epilogue. Don't feel pressured. All I want to hear is the rest of what you think needs to be told. At this point I trust you completely.



Author's Response:

You're making 100% sense, Azlin!  I love "And but so" because I think it's how we talk and I think DFW did an amazing job of straddling the spoken and the written word.  I like to think I have a bit of a conversational style, so I'm so pleased with your comment!

I don't know if there's a more wonderful sentence than this:  "All I want to hear is the rest of what you think needs to be told."  TUNA, are you kidding me?  I've read that about ten times now.  A thousand blessings on your head and your typing fingers so you can do the same!  :-*

Lol! This is awesome! I'm so glad you wrote it. I didn't even know you were going to. This makes me really happy.

Author's Response:

I half wrote it the night of the conversation, it just sort of happened. Thats why its only 55 words.

You rock, but you know that already.

Summary: Scranton, Pennsylvania, home to 28-year old receptionist, Pam Beesly. Pam’s array of plain, button-down shirts, drab skirts, and clunky boots make her bright and artistic personality fade into the background. Her coworkers have called in stylists Clinton Kelly and Stacy London to inject some life into her dreary duds, but will Pam be able to deal with the price of fashion? It will be style rejuvenation as Pam learns What Not To Wear.

Set in between seasons 3 and 4, so general spoilers for season 4 apply.

The WNTW format was so much fun. I could like see the little interviews and stuff. In fact, I could really see the whole thing. So, nice work! I can't wait for the epilogue.



Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! I know, I had finals of my own that I had to deal with; luckily this story gave me kind of a break. :) I\'m so glad you enjoyed the WNTW format! It was a really different and interesting way of writing, and I\'m glad it worked. And I just posted the epilogue; can\'t wait for you to read it! Thanks again!!

I had so much fun reading this. You obviously know both shows really well which totally made this seem like something that could actually happen. Really well written. Fabulous job!



Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m so glad you liked it. I felt like it needed a little Jammy moment to wrap it up. Glad you enjoyed the blending of the two shows as well; it was very fun crossing them over. Thank you so much for all your kind reviews!!

Anyway, nice job on your first fic! I'll definitely keep an eye out for more from you.



Author's Response: Thanks Azlin. I\'ve really enjoyed your stories as well.\r\n\r\nI\'m working my way through this great library, so I haven\'t gotten to all the post-eps, but I\'ve certainly read a number of them.

Summary: You really shouldn't do that though, because if you start thinking of Ryan Howard as your Pacey Witter then you'll end up just going ahead and kissing him anyway, and that isn't good for anybody.
