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.
A response to the 55 challenge! (Don't own any of the characters...)
Oops! I added the next chapter of Cardiac Care to this story by accident. Sorry.
10 Oh! Oh, I love it! It's just...well, it's fabulous is what it is. LOVE "Oh, you were definitely with me." Wonderful.
Jim and Pam get right to it. Possible spoiler for "The Job.
10 This story fills a gap we desperately needed filled, and you did a beautiful job of it. Just excellent.
Yep, that would be pretty okay with me, too. As long as the cameraman snuck in after them. ;)
She says his name and it stops him.
10 I almost stopped reading because I was afraid it was going to be a sad account of Jim's feelings on Casino Night, and I didn't think I could take it. But I'm so glad I kept going! I really liked the way you began and ended with the same line, giving it two completely different meanings. I love clever writing like that--great job!
The road to perfection isn't paved in gold.10 Excellent. I love when they IM. There should be a whole episode that is only IMing and no spoken dialogue. It'd be totally revolutionary!
Okay, perhaps NBC is not ready for that, but, luckily, you're around to write it for me anyway. :)
Whee! Anything that leads to Jim and Pam kissing IS the perfect date. :)
Aw, man. That was harsh. I know that it had to be aired eventually, but it makes me very sad. :(
I guess I'll just have to trust that they both come around. They will, right? I don't like to threaten physical violence or anything, but...well, sometimes accidents happen... ;)
Oh, poor Jim. Sigh. I hope things get better for him soon. You wouldn't let Jim stay sad, would you? You wouldn't let him down like that--I just know you wouldn't!
Mwah ha ha ha ha ha! (/evil laugh)
10 OMG, the Schrute family marriage proposal is HYSTERICAL. It is so very Dwightlike. Just perfect. And I meant to say in an earlier review that your Michael is very authentic. The way you write him, I can totally hear and see him saying those things. Excellent job.
10 Ohhhhh! I think I...don't even know what to say, because I'm just grinning like a damn fool right now. Such a wonderful ending to a wonderful story. Great, great job with this. I am so pleased to have read it.
Author's Response: It's so much fun seeing your comments as you finish each chapter. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
"It's like Antarctica in there, Pam." Future, married Jim-and-Pam fluff-type stuff.Haaaaaa ha ha ha ha! The very idea of Creed making sense! That was fabulous.
And yay for Pam's middle name, because that's my sister's name. Woo!
Excellent piece of fluff. I love the fluff. It's flufftastic!
Sometimes it takes support from an unlikely source to help you through your darkest hours.
Now Complete!
God, poor Jim. That was so harsh, but it gives Angela an interesting opportunity to help someone. I like the way you've written her. It seems very authentic. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. It means alot to hear I wrote her accurately. Thanks for the comment!
It's never too late to celebrate the people you love.Aw! Very sweet. And I love the "Look what I have for you in my pants" line. Boys! They never change. :)
Author's Response:
Well, I don't think girls change much either, because I'd pay good money to see what Jim has in his pants for me. (Did I just type that?):-O
Thanks for the review, invis!!
Oh, poor Pam. Man, is that a nightmare. Stupid periods!
Oh, Karen. You poor, deluded girl. You never had a chance, honey, so just GO AWAY NOW.
Oops--sorry about that. I don't know what came over me. I love Karen, really I do...not!
Oh, you go, Pam! Bein' all truth-telly and stuff. I love it. And Karen can go take a flying leap. What a bizzo.
Oh! Oh! Mean! Just for that, I'm not speaking to you until you put up another chapter. Pout.
For the 55 challenge. Nothing special.
Oooh. I don't care how many words it has: I love them all.
Author's Response: Thank you =D
Eeeeeeee! Nope, it's still very cute at 55 words. :)
Author's Response: Aw!!! Thanks!!! I love it when you squee! ;)
Hooray! I love the morning-after-sex sex. ;)
While MTT was down for a brief time one night, I wrote a couple 55 word fics in the TWOP thread about Jim and Pam reading fanfic. I will likely continue this as a long running series, referencing my favorite stories and also newer stories as they come about.
LOL! What a great idea. I love it.
Author's Response: Thanks for the comment!
Haaaaa ha ha ha ha! "Wait, this is pretty good." "Excuse me?" LOL!!
Author's Response: Heh. Yeah, I don't think Jim would have liked that. Thanks for the comment!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, silly, silly Jim with his silly, silly death wish. Hee!
But I totally agree with your recommendation--Colette's story is awesome.
