Oh Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration! This was so sweet, LL! I'd like to think a gesture like this is how he and Phyllis really got together. Great job!

Author's Response:

I totally think BV.VR did something like this, that crazy romantic.  Wouldn't it be great if we got some of their backstory?

Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, what an amazing, well-written piece. I can't believe this is your first fanfic! It really makes me believe in Jim and Karen- but I also like how there is the faintest hint of Pam here (adding and deleting the Travis song). Absolutely loved the last line. Wonderful job!

Author's Response: Thanks! I actually tried to go and find that playlist they put on iTunes from Jim Halpert a while back, but I couldn't find it, so Travis it was. I do remember that playlist was a bunch of sad-boy mopester stuff. I'd like to think that Karen would shake him out of that a little.

Summary: Past Featured StoryNobody's business but the people involved. Working together day after day, it's hard not to bring emotions into it. There's always something hiding beneath the surface. Many, many pairings.

This was so great! All of the voices were just spot on- loved Kelly's especially because this line:

He just seems really lost, almost like Tom Cruise before he met Katie but not because Tom’s so, so much hotter.

made me crack up. Also really enjoyed the progression/transition between characters. Great job!

Author's Response: Re: Pam and Kelly - me, too - I think they'd be two very different pregnancies :) Thanks, pennylane!

Um, I love you. You know, him wearing blue is just something I subconsciously noticed, but leave it up to you to make an awesome fic out of it! Color me impressed. Ew, sorry bad pun. But really, this was wonderful. Really loved this line:

No maybe about it. Not this time.  Though she hadn't even uttered a word, to him it sounded just like never...

Fantastic job as always! :)



Author's Response:

Thanks pennylane.  No need to apologize for the pun.

Color me happy to hear you liked it. :)

Oh the quietness, I do enjoy it :) So many of Jim and Pam's moments are built on the things they don't say to one another, so I could see them finally getting together the same way. This was lovely, Colette!

[quiet voice] One thing I noticed, I think the line should read 'Who's the target?' [/quiet voice]

I hope you continue this, although it does stand on its own as well :)



Author's Response: Oops! You're right - thanks so much for catching that...will correct immediately! Anyway, absolutely, they can communicate so well, so simply. Glad if I could capture  a tiny bit of that! Thanks again!

Oh yay, merry Christmas to us! I have to agree with girl7, I started reading this with a huge smile on my face which slowly faded away- and I'm starting to feel like that's how most interactions with Jim and Pam are going to be for awhile! I'm trusting you to turn it around :) Can't wait for the next installment. And this line?:

Such a small piece of armor is nothing but a weak defense against something this insistent.

Awesome.



Author's Response:

Aww pennylane.  I know.  I'm sorry.   But it's just going to take a little time.

Trust me.  I won't do a Yankee Swap on you.  :)

Ok, uh, Dwight as the piper? YES! You win a gold yogurt lid medal. And I honestly just love the interactions you write for Jim and Pam-their conversations always sound (in my head?) like something we'd see on the show. What is 10? Lords a leapin? I can't wait to see what that brings!

Author's Response:

But of course.  I'm so glad that you can hear the conversations in your head and that they sound like the show for you.  That's the greatest compliment you could give. 

Yep.  10: Lords a Leaping.  And it's shaping up to be a doozy. :)

Oh boys. This was a really great Roy/Jim conversation, and I like how you interspersed Jim's thoughts: Ugh. So close. Hee! And I really am surprised at how well this song works in this context. Who knew? Now I'm going to need you try and connect "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" to the Office somehow ;)

Author's Response:

Oh pennylane.  Talk to me when I'm up to Geese a Laying.  LOL!  Then again...as many have mentioned...it could be a smut goldmine. :) 

Don't know if I'm quite up to the "Two Front Teeth" challenge.  But I have to say you made me LOL!

Date: December 11, 2006 Title: Chapter 4: Nine: Ladies Dancing

Another amazing chapter. It's already been mentioned but the I know you line is just perfect. You've done a great job of conveying that Pam just needs to say something, and while it's not going to be an earth-shattering conversation, that doesn't make it any less painful. Bring on the Maids a Milkin! :)

Author's Response:

I wanted her to say it without saying it.  I think Jim knows he's not being all that sly - or that Pam could figure it out easily - but he's trying like hell to pretend it's not possible.

Milking maids coming up!!!

Reviewer: pennylane83 Signed 9
Date: December 15, 2006 Title: Chapter 5: Eight: Maids a Milking

So I know this chapter was giving you some difficulty, but it doesn't show at all. I think it's a credit to your writing ability that I felt so uncomfortable reading this- maybe because the conversation seems so familiar? Gah. I really like how it mirrored the Jim/Roy conversation from earlier, although Pam's a lot more clued in than Roy!

Oh and for some reason, this line really got me: Yeah.  Cause this isn't weird.  Talking to the girl who's dating the guy I'm in love with. Like for Pam, one day she would just allow herself to realize that she's in love with Jim-and talking to someone else about him would help make that fact even clearer. The hurt is what makes it real, Pam! Hee. Okay, sorry I'm so long-winded, but I really love this story!



Author's Response:

YAY!  Thank you.  It really did give me fits.  I wanted to show what I presume/hope/wish Karen is thinking - but I didn't really know how she'd exactly express that.   This whole chapter originally came from Karen's POV - but I switched to Pam because that's really the story I'm telling anyway.   I'm so glad you found it believable.   

And yes.  My thing is I know that Pam knows...she just doesn't know what to do about it.

If she'd just ask one of us...we'd totally help her out.  SIGH!

Thanks again pennylane!

Out of the mouths of babes...okay, so pretty much any excuse to use that phrase ;) You were able to so wonderfully convey how kids have this ability to simplify everything- she should be your girlfriend Jim, get it together! I guess it's just too bad that people's feelings get involved and really have a way of muddying things up. Um, and I suppose all this is a roundabout way of me saying that this was a great chapter. I must have had some of colette's drugs over the weekend ;)

Author's Response:

I know.  I'm so glad someone is making the two of them think!!! 

Look for Six to get them at least talking a little.  Maybe more. :)  Haven't finished it yet!!  LOL!

Date: December 19, 2006 Title: Chapter 7: Six: Geese a Laying

Seriously, what IS with all the birds in this song? I'm not sure how many plausible ways there are to work fowl into a story, but you made this one believable! I keep trying to guess where you'll take each line of the song and you surprise me everytime! I was definitely holding my breath at the end there. I sure hope there's going to be some full on making out in this story because the show's not coming on for two weeks and you are my fix! Hee.

Author's Response:

It's driving me insane.  Calling birds?  French Hens?

Turtle doves I've got covered. ;)  And the Partridge in a Pear Tree?  Think cameo by David Cassidy.

j/k...or am I????  LOL!

Date: December 20, 2006 Title: Chapter 8: Five: Golden Rings

Why must you torture us with the cliffhangers?? This was another great chapter. I really felt Pam's anticipation and giddiness (is that a word?) building throughout. And seriously with Jim's voice on the answering machine- I'd never erase that message! Ahh- don't go to a party, you have to finish the next chapter!



Author's Response:

I'm sorry. :(  I'm so glad you could feel it.  I know it's all wish fulfillment but I can't help myself. 

I wouldn't erase that message either!!

Even though I ducked out of the party early - I've only got half of the next chapter done.  Check back tomorrow!

Reviewer: pennylane83 Signed
Date: December 22, 2006 Title: Chapter 9: Four: Calling Birds

Guhhhlflifdjsdj. That is all.

No wait, as frustrating these two are where you want to be like "JUST DO IT ALREADY!!" I think it is much more realistic that Pam would still be hesitant. The fact of the matter is there's more people involved then just Pam and Jim and I like that Pam gets that. Or I suppose that YOU have Pam get that. I'm just sayin, the payoff better be pretty good for all this cliffhanger nonsense. So no pressure or anything :) (French hens=french kissing??) Just sayin ;)



Author's Response:

HA!  pennylane.  They french kissed here.  You want more?

Oh alright.  Twist my arm! :)

Reviewer: pennylane83 Signed
Date: December 28, 2006 Title: Chapter 10: Three: French Hens

Okay well lisahoo might have been kidding about French hens being about french kissing but I totally wasn't- and so glad to see you came through! Yay! Seriously though, I think it's very realistic that Jim would see his relationship with Karen (because from what little we have seen from her, she does seem a bit more open with her feelings) and use that as a catalyst for realizing he wants the same out of Pam. Because as easy as it would probably be for them to just fall into dating I think Pam would need to be honest with him first- and glad you captured that in a realistic (and hot!) way. His eyes, his mouth, those hands? I think Pam's been visiting the JK thread :)

Author's Response:

HA pennylane!  I don't know about Pam - but I may have ventured into that thread a time or two. ;) 

I'm glad the chapter came across as realistic for you.  It was my intention to show that all might not be rainbows and sunshine from the get-go. So glad you agreed!
