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.

Wow.  Nice.  I mean, really good and raw and real.  This was especially great:

Jim crushed her into a hug, her arms pinned to her sides. “You’re wonderful,” he whispered into her ear. She bit her lip and squeezed her eyes shut. 

I don't know why for sure, but that hit me hard.  I never wanted Jim and Karen to get together--like, it physically hurt me to watch it--but I love that you made him acknowledge her, and in that one movement and that one sentence, admit that they never would have worked and it had nothing to do with her merit as a girlfriend.

Excellent job. 



Author's Response: i love your reading of this scene! i do want to say, though, that a part of this scene (and really throughout the story) is that i wanted to play up that clueless, romantic side of jim. karen wants it to be over, done, because talking on a street corner in nyc is not helping anyone. when he says, you\'re wonderful, she is sad and angry and all of that - but she\'s also pissed and maybe internally rolling her eyes.\r\nthanks for your feedback!

Summary:

 

"He approached her desk with a look that she had seen in his eyes a thousand times before. Though somehow, this time, she knew that it was going to be more trouble than usual for her."


This story has nothing to do with the poem by Christopher Marlowe. In case you were worried. ;)

Ha!  Actually, I WAS thinking the title meant this fic was based on that poem, and I almost didn't read it.  So thanks for explaining!  :)

Very sweet and introspective fic.  I love what Pam does at the end.  So cute. 



Author's Response:

Ha! I don't even know how the phrase popped in my head, I don't think that I've even read the poem in 5-6 years!!

I'm very glad that you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review. :)

Yay!  Applause!  That is totally what should happen.  I know that I'll be applauding when they show them kissing this season - which they WILL, or I will KILL THEM - so this story was completely plausible to me.  I also love how you brought the whole "Jimmy" thing into your story.  I didn't watch those videos until a couple of days ago, but they're great.

Excellent job! 

Summary:

After a scare, Jim ends up in the hospital. Fortunately, pranks always make the day a little bit brighter. Spoilers for 'The Job'.

Except from Chapter Six:

“But Harry Potter is fictional,” Jim reasoned. “And he has Skelo-Grow.”

“I have Skelo-Grow.”

“No. You don’t.” Jim looked bemused.

Dwight pulled a bottle out of his pocket. “Oh yeah? Then what’s this?”

“Bleach.”

Dwight gave a slightly disturbing smile. “That’s to fool the Muggles.”

It's a mystery. *cue spooky music* Not really, but it will be explained within the first part of the next chapter. LOL! Those sea foam, wafer-thin gowns are mighty fine. ; )

Thank you so much for reviewing, invis!

AAAAAIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  And also: sigh.  Yet another time something should've happened but didn't.  Sigh and double sigh!  But it was so nicely written and so sweet and you did such a great job with Drunk!Pam, that I really don't mind that there was no kissing.  I mean, of course I mind, but I loved the story anyway.  :)

Author's Response: Haha, thank you!  I feel you there -- but I wanted this to be in keeping with the rest of the show's storyline, and I think a kiss would have pushed them out of their season 2 limbo.  Plus, I really felt like Casino Night was their first kiss :)

Awwwwwww!  That was just wonderful.  I love how you began and ended with the tiny disco ball observation.  Just a great, sweet story.

Author's Response: That tiny yogurt lid was one of my favorite parts of Office Olympics and to have it in The Job was wonderful (missing half of the audio of that scene trying to explain it to my family what exactly it was wasn't), and the truth is that I and a sucker for pure Fluff, so I thought I'd give it a try. Thanks for the review!

I think you did just fine with Dwight.  If I had any teensy little nitpicks, it's that I can't really see Dwight calling Jim by his last name.  But other than that, I think you did great, and this should totally happen on the show.

Author's Response: I didn't think so either, but he did actually call Jim by his last name in a recent ep deleted scene. :)

Oh, God, it's so raw and destructive, and f*cking ADDICTIVE.  I admit it: I love the angst.  It could never have happened to this extent on the show, but I'm loving the hell out of this story.  So fabulous.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your sweet reviews. That really is the thing, isn't it? We crave the angst and the yearning even more then we want release from it. Which really says something about human beings, man. We're a funny, fucked-up lot.
