Bio:

I thought I was just here to read, but I guess I ended up writing a little. My bad. :)

I'm switching to Yes on beta-reader, because I should have more time now that I've finished my own recent story and I'll probably take a break from writing. I don't know how many requests will come from that, so I reserve the right to change back to No if I get overwhelmed. :) But I am an unrepentant grammar Nazi, and have edited a LOT in the past, so I'm totally up for a little beta.

Ooh, I already like it.  I can't wait to read more.  Also, A) The Time Traveler's Wife is a great book - woo!  and B) Did you know that Dirty Dancing is going to be shown in some theaters because this year is its 20th anniversary?  God, I feel old!!


Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!! I was hoping other people loved the Time Traveler's Wife as much as I did, and now I need to go see Dirty Dancing in the theater! I've never seen it on a big screen....

Date: April 30, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Summer Picnic 2005

Ooooooh.  This is really good.  I love Pam's reaction to being with Jim, because I think there's no way she didn't have thoughts like that on the show, even though they had her being shocked when Jim said he was in love with her.  I think it's more likely that she's had a lot of sweet moments like this where she saw a glimmer of something more beautiful that she could have.

Really loving this story! 



Author's Response: I agree; I remember many moments when it was so achingly clear that she knew (somewhere in that skull of hers!) not only how Jim felt, but that she felt it too. So glad you're enjoying this...many thanks, invis!

Aw.  So sad, so bittersweet.  If I didn't know Jim was coming back after this, I'd just be depressed, but knowing he does come back, I really enjoyed Pam's astuteness about her feelings.

This was great:

Sometimes the distance between you is a living, breathing beast, a monster whose arteries are interstates, awful contours hills and valleys.



Author's Response: I'm really pleased you picked out that particular line...because the image of the distance as a beast was actually the seed of the idea for the entire story. And I'm a sucker for bittersweet, so thanks for that too!

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, SO FABULOUS with the all-wet-from-the-rain sex, but, frankly, them just getting back to that place mentally was the best part of it for me.  And they were sweet and quippy, too.  I loved this:

'This is America, Pam. All our traditions are young.’

Jim!  What a nut! 



Author's Response: Hee! I kind of liked that line too...was wondering if it would work for anyone else. And absolutely - as much fun as the sexage was to write (and okay, maybe think about just a little too much,) the emotional reconnection is the real story here. Thanks again, invis.

Yep, that sounds like the best picnic ever to me.  Let's see...picnic, or sex with Jim Halpert?  Picnic, or sex with Jim Halpert...gosh, from where I sit, it's no contest.

Author's Response: I know, poor thing, it must have been a harrowing choice for her. Thanks invis...appreciate all your feedback.

I'm glad Pam was able to forgive him.  I don't know if I could've done it--at least not that fast--but...oh, who am I kidding?  If it was JIM???  Yeah, of course I'd forgive him.  But I'd make him wash the dishes for the rest of his life.

Author's Response: I couldn't end it without her forgiving him. :)

Awwww!  Perfect.  Pam's recreation of Casino Night in her drawing was a complete surprise to me--a wonderful surprise!  I never saw that coming, and it was just perfect. 

And Jim's drawing was hilarious.  I had Jim drawing stick figures of him and Pam in one of my stories, so I totally had a SQUEE! moment when I read that.  Yay for stick people!

And I LOVE how Pam didn't need Jim to hold that position for 4 hours but made him do it anyway:

“Oh,” she states simply, “That was payback for the jackass you’ve been since you came back.”

That was fabulous.

Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha!  Ohhhh...sigh.  That was fabulous.  So many favorite parts!!!  I think this is my favorite:

(Bob) You fall asleep while she’s talking?

(Ryan) Not as much as I’d like to, Bob.

Guffaw!  Seriously, Kelly and Ryan are freakin' hysterical in this.  And of course Pam and Jim are cuter than it's even possible for humans to be, but that's to be expected. I love them getting everything right except Jim's annoying habit of being a screamer--hee!



Author's Response: Thanks so much, always nice to get a guffaw.  That line was one of my favorites.

Perfect ending?  Yes, I do believe so.  Fabulous story.  I loved it.  They were all so in character--great job!

This was SO perfectly Dwight: "Hot tubs make you soft and weak. I bathe every morning in a trough of ice-cold water next to our barn."



Author's Response: Thanks...I don't doubt that Dwight does exactly that.

That is exactly what it looked like in the scene.  Exactly.  Great job!

Date: May 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 9: Harnesses That Can't Hold Weight

You know what?  I think it is possible to kiss someone without really kissing him.  Because it really felt that way in this story.  Sigh.  So much potential in those two!  They need to just jump on that!

Author's Response: Yeah no kidding! Someone should just sit them both down and make them listen to each other for like 30 seconds and then suddenly everything would be solved! Anyways, in the meantime I'd actually be okay with them not being together if it was more a season 2 non-togetherness than a season 3 kind. ;)

Aw!  Well, it has to happen, and I think you wrote it pretty believably.  Karen has every right to be upset with Jim, and vice versa.  They're just not meant to be together.  When Jim is really being himself, he's totally not the kind of guy Karen would want--even though, if she's honest with herself, I think it's his prankster ways that attracted her to him in the first place.  Well, that and his TOTAL HOTNESS.


Author's Response: Exactly! "When Jim is being himself" - when he went to Stamford he tried to be fancy new Halpert - guess he figured the old way wasn't working so he'd try something new - and the old Halpert isn't really what Karen was looking to buy! Except for, as you say, the hotness factor. But she's too uptight to endure his boyish tendencies for too long so let's just get the party planning committee together and have a tasteful goodbye luncheon for Ms. Fillipelli and send her on her way. M'kay? Thanks invis!

Sigh.  I wish this had happened, although I don't really like to see Pam cheating.  I mean, yeah, she was never meant to be with Roy, but still.  But don't get me wrong--I loved the story!  This is actually the first fic I've read that centers around The Fight, and it was great.  I always thought it was just weird how they left that.  I mean, we all know that Pam got flustered because she was enjoying herself too much, but it was kind of bizarre that she didn't apologize to Jim later...or vice versa.

Well, anyway, sorry to ramble.  I really liked the story.  :)
