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.
The Jim/Pam storyline becomes a soap opera—literally. Response to the BADfic challenge.
This is so great! I think I may give up good fic entirely and just read badfic from now on. Kidding! But still... awesome stuff here.
Author's Response: Thanks! Badfic is oddly entertaining isn't it?
Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.Awesome! I had no idea I loved Ryan this much!
Author's Response: Hee! I'm so glad that I can help you realize it ;)
This was awesome as usual. I can't decide which I liked more: the dancing or the supply closet. I really never thought I'd be torn between Ryan and Jim like this!
Author's Response: Hehe, its fun isn't it? I'm slowly turning you all into Ryan fans, muahaha. Seriously though, thank you!
Are you kidding me??? You're just gonna leave us hanging like that!!! Aagh! What is wrong with you, you sicko? Who is it? I mean, which one is it? Curse you cliffhanger!
Sorry, rant over. In other news, this was another excellent chapter in an equally excellent fic. :)
Woo-hoo! Go Pam!!! Okay, seriously? I love where you're going with this. And this line:
"She finds herself asking herself how the one thing that she’s been wanting for so long could possibly hurt this much"
Just amazing.
I'm still surprised by how much I like this story, and by extension Ryan. But this was a really well written ending. Even if it wasn't exactly the happily ever after I was hoping for.
This is soooo what I needed right now! Yay for happy jam!
Hahahaha I'm not done reading yet, but I had to stop to comment on the fact that God's TWSS made me laugh a highly unholy little laugh while sitting at my desk. You should have a not safe for work warning on this. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Azlin. I appreciate your comments and you reccing this over on TWOP. Don't worry, though, if you get in trouble at work. God has your back....or maybe that's Kevin that does.....
It was a night of love and romance on the high seas. Such a pity that the Booze Cruise went up in flames and sank to the bottom of Lake Wallenpaupack.
A crossover with Gilligan's Island...because I have no shame. And I can't do justice to X-Files.
Heehee! This is gonna be good I can tell. I can't wait for more!
Awesome! I heart this story! :)
Oh, wait. I was going to be done, but then I remembered that I never leave you nice long reviews like I used to and I felt a little guilty. So here are the things I loved about this chapter.
Angela in a gangsta outfit, the fact that you named it Pebblitis, and Ryan trying to be authoritative!
Nice work, Muggins!
Five different scenarios in which our man finds out Pam is pregnant.Oh my. For some crazy reason I hadn't read this yet, so I'll just say that It's been a long time since I teared up over a fic, but this one definitely got me there. Multiple times. And I'm still at work, so....yeah. This is really well done.
Author's Response:
Thnks so much for reading and reviewing! I can't get over the fact that it makes people tear up...
Oh my GOSH! That was completely and totally unexpected, and I even knew before I started reading from comments elsewhere that the ending would be a surprise. I loved it!
Post The Negotiation (no spoilers).
My attempt at working it all out. This will span ten chapters and will include flashbacks to previous episodes/seasons.
I really love this! I can't wait to see the rest.
Author's Response:
Glad you're enjoying it! (Love your user name, BTW.) I should have the next chapter up in a few hours.
Thanks for reviewing!
Oh wow. This was so worth the wait. I absolutely love this story and this chapter just... there are no words. Thank you!
Author's Response: Yay, I'm glad to hear you say that! :O) Thank you for reviewing!
Leaving you a proper review before heading off to bed...
I really like how this is turning out! Can't wait to see the rest. ;)
heeheehee! I know what's going to happen! Sorry, I'm just really enjoying the perks of beta-ing right now.
But I really like this chapter, so keep up the good work!
Encouraging words huh? Like: Woo-hoo Karen's gone, Jim and Pam can get together, the universe will align and all will be right with my world! So...did it work? Cuz I can't wait for more!
Let me know if you need beta help, I have no life so I should be around all weekend.
Awwww! This is so cute! I really loved it. Yay for cute!Jim instead of the snarky!Jim who will probably show up on my TV tonight.
Author's Response: I know, i'm so afraid of what he'll be like tonight! I'm glad you liked the story!
He should've been happy that Karen had finally warmed up to his joking ways. He wasn't.Ack! No! I thought there was more and there wasn't! Tragic. You'll just have to update soon I guess! ;)
This break-up was the nicest break-up of all the break-ups. I really like how you've written Karen; it's exactly the way I think of her. Well done!
Oh! I'm so sad it's over, but at the same time I really liked this chapter. This whole story was really great! Kudos to you!
Author's Response: Thank you! I was kind of sad when it ended, too, because (this is kind of embarrassing) their blogs have become, like, real entities in my head. I was actually tempted to sign up on MySpace just so I could create them in cyberspace. Is that dorky or what??
Everyone's favorite orphan girl comes to Avonlea! Pam, Jim and Roy are Anne, Gil and...Roy. Now complete.So I hope you know already how a-MAY-zing you are. Because I could go on and on about you as a person, but I think the point of these is to review the chapter not the author.
In that light, let me just say that this was way too cute. I love that Jim and Pam are friends now and that they understand each other so well. And I really loved Angela and Meredith in this chapter. Your characters are such a good mix of the characters from both stories. It's really fun!
Thanks sooo much, Azlin! I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I haven't blushed this much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my earmuffs...
This is GREAT!!! I really liked the way the characters have fused into a mix of their office selves and their Avonlea selves, but in the best possible way. I'm so glad you're writing this, because I'm really having a blast reading it!
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you!
Oh, I loved this. I think I say that every time you update, but it's totally true. And it's fun to have the jump in time, so that she's 15 now. It makes me wonder how far you're going to take this. Nice job, as always, McGigi!
Author's Response: Thanks, Az! I realized that she was only 13 in the previous chapters, so I wanted to bump it up a little. And yes, there's still more to come!
Thanks for the reviews, as always!
Awww McGigi, this was so lovely! I'm so glad that you didn't ruin the surprise. I really loved this chapter, but I can't wait for the ones coming up. Oh, and I re-watched the 2nd movie the other day and thought of you! I'll admit it was late, so I didn't make it all the way through, but it was really fun to make all the little connections between the movie and your story, especially since it's been a few years since I watched it.
Anyway, thanks for another great chapter, and let me know if you need any more help. I'd be honored to assist you.
