Date: July 28, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Ambition Envy
Another intriguing look at Jim and I really liked the honesty in the conversation between Jim and Pam. I especially enjoyed that final line about not envying Ryan's position, but his ambition. I didn't think Jim turning down the promotion only had to do w/ Pam and I like how Jim in your story is having to face that head on. And yay for Ryan giving Pam this kind of opportunity.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the kind words. I do really believe that Jim has to be pretty ambivalent about things at some point, especially after finally getting what he wanted for so long. He might not want the job at Corporate, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want something more at some point out of his career. Having Pam kind of leaves him without a goal, and that has to put a lot of pressure on Pam and the relationship. I'm glad that you're enjoying my attempt at conveying these ideas.

Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment! It took me a bit to get the wording I was looking for with Jim's description of why Ryan didn't need the mug. It needed to be that smooth way he can pacify Michael, like with convincing Michael that Pam's Dundie needed to be changed. So, I am happy you feel I got it.

I'm curious about Ryan's idea. I do continue to find it interesting how what Ryan lacks, jim has, and vice versa.
I also really liked how you handled the scene with michael and the mug. Flawless and perfect Jim voice. I look forward to more!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your really encouraging reviews. I look forward to seeing them after I write a chapter.
It took me about two days to decide on what sort of business Ryan would want to open, then it just dawned on me how fitting a temp agency would be. I'm really glad you liked the idea too!

Wonderful end to a great story. Again, I really enjoyed the dynamic between jim and ryan that you illustrated here and how Ryan is one of the few characters that Jim cannot completely charm. And Ryan is such an open book to Jim.
I also really liked your take on Jim's ambition for work and it really makes complete sense(him not having as much drive for work since he now has Pam) and I would love to see the show go in this direction too. Not that I want Jim going anywhere, but him confronting that would be great.
Ryan's idea for atemp agency made me laugh and it also made want a sequel. Great story! Hope to read more from you in the future.

Author's Response: I just couldn\'t help myself, and had to return to this universe. We haven\'t really seen Ryan show much business acumen beyond his books, so it would be hard to imagine him launching somehting quite so quickly. Plus, I wanted to revisit this dynamic again with them still in the DM universe. There will be some interesting moments as this turn of events shakes down. (Or moments I hope to be interesting.)\r\n\r\nThank you so much for all your great reviews of this story. I really appreciate it.

Ooh, it's back! And hm, Ryan, best laid plans, huh? Though the two of them at a business together was also enjoyable, I didn't think Ryan could pull that together in just a year while adjusting to a completely new job with new responsibilities. Though I wonder if Ryan thought that.
And Jim, heh, he's sure going to figure out why he's going in for management training. He's too observant not to and Ryan seems to lose any kind of poker face with Jim. Pam being along will also makes this even more interesting. Looking forward to all the reactions(and Michael's!) to this development.
And yay again for you picking up the story again!

Oh Ryan should know better than to be all cryptic with Jim, he of the ability to read most anyone unless he's emotionally guarding himself ;) I really am curious of what his reaction will be, if Michael can even be saved this go around no matter what Jim(and Pam) may attempt.
And I do wonder if Karen will make a cameo. Hm... Great chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks! This chapter was supposed to move the plot a bit more, but then I started to really like this conversation and left it on its own. While obviously I am interested in the Jim/Ryan dynamic, I really love Jim\'s perspective on Michael as well. Jim clearly gets frustrated with Michael when he is being way over the top, but seems to also appreciate the vulnerability underneath. As always, thanks for leaving such great reviews.

Jim caught it, and set it down. "Doubt I'll need this. I have a feeling it's all of equal importance."
Excellent line there. In fact, the tension and balance of snark and barbs was just so wonderful in this scene. You really have such a knack for the banter between Ryan and Jim, and how there's always this underlining animosity that stems from just them being two very different, yet similar people. I really liked Ryan's revelation about Jim's lack of motivation in this chapter and just the idea that Jim may not want to be Michael but admires his loyalty and love, which is something, as fans, we all do as well. I'm looking forward to this dinner. I have visions of Pam being the peacemaker :)

Author's Response: The nice thing about this cast is that you could create some motives. Jim was just obviously the best one to frame. Remember that this took place before The Beach and The Job, so Pam and Jim are still slightly astranged. This will give an interesting way for Jim and Karen to break up and Jim and Pam to finally unite. Nothing makes a person look closer at their life than when it is in jeopardy. I have clues littered through out the interrogations. But I didn't want to unrealistic and give them all a reason to kill Roy. Like, for the life of me, I could not come up with a reason for Stanley to kill him. But, you never know, maybe he is hiding something? LOL

Man, this is excellent. And who is trying to frame Jim? I had suspected that Karen was in on it, gettingJim to go to the office when the killer was there, but after her interview, I'm not sure. She wasn't the one killing Roy, but she could've had someone in on it...but why?
I'm all kinds of intrigued. Looking forward to more.

Gah, okay, i tried to stay away from this new chapter, because suspense and mystery kill me. Seriously, i will read the ends of books first just because. But! I couldn't resist! Great chapter and I see the lawyer is looking towards Karen, who is acting quite suspiciously. HOwever, I think she may be the red herring.But then I can't imagine who else could've done it.

Is it really awful that this is the first chapter that I may suspect Pam? I mean, I know she has an alibi and all, but for some reason, I got a bad feeling. Crazy, right? Right??
Liked how you ended things with Karen, though I don't doubt we'll see her again, considering she would most likely used for evidence against Jim.
Another great chapter, you're doing such an excellent job building the suspense here. Looking forward to more.

"I sir, was with a fair young lass I met at the Starbucks." Andy bragged and smiled. He puffed out his chest. "I don't remember her name..." "Okay." Michael wrote Andy's name and the word Alone at Home
Bwah! Excellent. And hm, okay, now it's Andy at the forefront for me. Until this chapter, I thought it possible that it wasn't an officemate but simply someone who had a connection with an officemate. Now, it's clear.
And while I definitely see guilt in Karen, Roy's a big guy and this was a pretty brutal killing. Woman scorned or not, I just don't think she could do it. Andy, on the other hand... He has just that edge of crazy that could throw someone like Roy offguard.
Can't wait for the reveal!

Ooh! Plot thickens! If those scissors have Roy's blood on there, doesn't that vindicate Jim? I mean, he sure couldn't have planted them. Hm...
Suspect list remains with Andy and Karen. Andy, for his jealousy and rage issues. And Karen, she has this wronged woman thing to fall back on now and hide her possible escape. Maybe they're in on it together!

Okay, beginning to think that Karen and Andy are the red herrings. And who has been completely nice about everything? And congenial? And completely unsuspecting? What about Oscar???? I've no idea where that came from, but it kinda just clicked into place when I thought of it. Especially the idea of the pics being hidden inside the Golf trophy, for some reason.

What a great final capper to a great story!
just can't believe she was able to take down such a large man.
Hee, I'll take that as a personal shoutout even if it isn't. Because man, I thought Karen was too small to have taken out Roy!
This was an excellent mystery and I did not expect the reveal. Did anyone guess Angela? Maybe thinking back to her being so supportive of Pam should've been a clue. Makes me want to reread everything to see all those allusions that I missed hte first go around.
I loved people's reactions in this chapter, especially Kelly's devolving into hair discussion. Just spot-on. I also liked Dwight's complete and utter dignity about all of it. Really just such a great story. I just wish we had had one conjugal visit ;)

Still enjoying this and appreciated Kelly's interview in this chapter. Just on the borderline of insane and heartbroken.
My guesses always end up being obsolete, but Dwight, Angela, Andy, and Jan remain as my contenders. And since Angela was the killer in the last story, I'm thinking that wouldn't happen again, so...
Oh, I had one question. Where is the documentary crew? They didn't catch any of this? In the last story, it was after hours, but now, I'm surprised they didn't see any of this considering it was a regular work day.

Another great chapter, I really loved Michael's response to it all. From utter shock to selfish to accusatory and all depicted wonderfully. And heeeeeee to Dwight.
Oh and heh, for the record, I think the reason I am more likely to pick Karen is not because of a Jam bias. Honestly, there was so little consistency of her character(IMO) on the show, I always feel she has the most to hide, you know? The others, I have more loyalty to and feel I know their characters better. But heh, considering the outcome of yourlast story, I should reevaluate, huh?
I don't think it's Karen, really. She was too openly hostile to Ryan in the first chapter. And Stanley and Kelly would almost be too obvious. Hm... Maybe Jan put Michael up to it... See? And I said I wasn't going to guess. Dammit.

Author's Response: Thank you! I was trying to show Jim and Pam in a relationship but not really obvious about it, at least around the others. I don't think they'd be hanging off one another in front of Angela and Creed and Michael, but on the other hand, in those first intense months of a relationship, I imagine they'd have trouble keeping their hands off one another. So this was an experiment; glad it worked for you! Thanks for your review.
10 Date: August 20, 2007 Title: Chapter 9: HOMERUN
Wow, this story left me panting. The way you built the tension of the game and the tension between Pam and Jim was just so palpable. Everything was just so physically descriptive, focusing on action and movement, it really made the read so intriguing. And really, what you did with jim and pam was just...inspiring. From the moment Jim explained how he knew what size batting gloves she wore, it just kept building.
I loved Meredith being the secret weapon and Creed being the even bigger secret. You got the dynamic completely down on a baseball field and the "pussyball" line was perfect. I really adored this story.
