Jim checks his voicemail after the cocktail party.
Wow. Cool idea, and well executed!
MEMBER'S CHOICE - "You've felt unsettled all weekend, and as your mother's words come crashing down around you, you have the uncanny feeling that you knew this was coming."Yup, it’s a post-Cocktails fic! With a bit of a twist. Karen does a bad thing, and Jim is about to suffer the consequences…This is very well done. The characters are acting in believable ways, which is what I look for most in a genre fic.
I like the twist about Karen and Roy each being told about different kisses--it allowed you to escalate the situation when I didn't think it was possible.
I especially appreciate the touches of humor throughout (JET SKIS, Schrute babies, etc), and the use of metaphors like the mosquito and the burner to describe Karens feelings.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Oh, thanks so much! I'm glad it's still believable for you :)
I take a ridiculous amount of time creating metaphors, so I love to hear when they work! And the humor is the most fun to write, but the most nerve wracking because I'm never sure it will translate. Thank you!
maybe things have to be raw and open and painful sometimes to finally be right.
Post-Cocktails. Pam, Jim, wounds both emotional and physical, and finally some answers.
You spend your days watching other people fumble over themselves and wade through life without having to actually live your own.
Response to the Documentary Crew challenge!
Dang. That was brilliant! What a neat perspective on the whole thing. Few fans would be rushing to write an "I love Karen but hate Jim" fic, but I'm glad you did--it works perfectly here.
Hahahahaha. Best part? Ryan's sputtering realization.
In the end, it is never, never giving up.

Nice job! I really liked the Milky Way twist. It was inspired. I think it's very likely these two charaters would say so little, as you've shown it here.
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad to hear you liked the story.
A now-AU post-Cocktails story. I went back and did some retouching. Angsty Pam and Jim.
Aw! I love how it's totally ambiguous whether or not they get together. Well done!
4 *sniffle* Well done! But very sad.
Author's Response:
I know :(
Glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing!
FACT: that was cute! Thanks.
All the lights are changing red to green. From denial to truth in an enclosed space. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. Aw. That made me smile. :)
Author's Response: Yay! Thanks counteragent!
Jim gets fussy and Pam gets fed up.
Spoilers through The Negotiation.
Very well done! The voices were pitch perfect, and the tone was just right Thank you!
Author's Response: No, thank you for the very nice compliments!
Well done. :) I would definitely think the sex would have been one of the best parts of the Pam/Roy relationship, given what (little) we saw of their happiness together on the show.
hahahahaha. I like J/K, but that was pretty darn funny. Thanks!
Ten years is a long time, especially when it's over.
Spoilers up through The Negotiation for those who haven't seen it yet.
Well done! I thought the characters rang true. Their love was beautiful, but also so ordinary (their love, not the story--the story was lovely).
One tiny edit: "contributed the flush" I think you mean attributed?
Eeek. Thanks for noticing that. I went back and fixed it.
Thanks for the review!
General season three spoilers for The Office. Takes place sometime between Exodus part II and Maelstrom in BSG time.
Weird! But I like it so far. :) Will continue...
Author's Response: Yeah, this is definitely a departure from my norm, that's for sure. I'm so glad you decided to read it!
Interesting! Well done--you really got the atmosphere of the fleet down pat. I can totally see Jim rising to the challenge and becoming--to his own amusement--an important guy. And I loved the bittersweet touch of Pam drawing buildings for people. I thought that was really creative.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I've never written any BSG before, but I'm glad you thought the feeling was right! The idea that Jim and Pam would thrive in the post-apocalyptic BSG scenario is what prompted this idea. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment!
Jan and Michael during Back from Vacation
Hee! Great great great.
Author's Response:
Aw! Thanks thanks thanks. ;)
Aw. Yay for Karen. And for Jim realizing stuff about himself.
Aw. Yay for Karen. And for Jim realizing stuff about himself.
Work was a lot more fun a year ago. Set mid-season three with the very vaguest of season three spoilers.
Gosh, that was fab. My gut twisted a bunch of times. Love the passive-aggressive deals she made with herself. Very Pam.
Double Aw!
Sniffle.
