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…love, love, love it, shan21! i also loved your new one, so i hope you keep it going. thank you!
awesome, shan21! i haven't read a lot of fanfic, but yours was my first & one of the best! can't wait to see what happens next (before thurs, please?)!
Author's Response:
I was your first? (TWSS)
I'm so happy that you liked it :) I would looooove to have the next chapter out before Thursday. Friday would be a much better bet... and the weekend would be an even better bet. But we'll see! I've just written the first page of chapter 7 and it's going well.
Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Wow, I sure didn't see that coming! I hope it isn't complete - I forgot to check before I started reading!
Member's Choice - Pam thought she was throwing these letters away. But what happens when your garbage doesn't stay in the garbage? Set mid-season 3.Love your story Azlin! I was so excited to get to read 12 at once, but now I have to wait! I hope you write quickly. I can't wait to see what happens w/ Pam & Jim. And I hope everything works out for Marsha too.
Author's Response: Oh yay! I'm always happy to get new readers! And I'm glad to see another Marsha fan! I'm starting to miss her, but she's going to be spending some time with her family for awhile, so it could be a bit before we see her again.
yay! i love where you're taking this, azlin! keep 'em coming!
Author's Response: Thanks! And there will definitely be more!
"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."
Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.
wow, this is so sad. i really hope we get to see a semi-happy ending. beautifully written, athena.
this is such a great story, but i'm so sad that it's not continuing! any thoughts about adding to it? very well written & sweet. love it!
26 Begun out of hiatus frustration as an exploration of what we might miss of Jim and Pam's newfound romance, this has grown into something unique and cool, a multi-authored exercise in creativity and obsession.
By the way, we talk about it here if you're interested in saying hi.
love it! very good - i'm so glad y'all chose to write about their 3-mth anniversary!
Author's Response: Thanks! I've had this in mind for a long while. I procrastinated too long – I'd hoped to have the whole date posted on Friday. But it's still fun to write. The last chapter (just one more, I think) should be up soon.
LOVE IT!!! you really did your research! i love everything they did & love that they got engaged on their 3-mth anniversary! i want to see that in S4! great job!
A few people run into Jim Halpert at the Super Walmart.i also hate todd packer, so this was great! i've really enjoyed your stories binxbaby! very well written. thanks!
25 moxie! i LOVED it!!! what a fantastic story! i have to tell you that i got confused & thought the last chapter was THE chapter, so i was annoyed. but i get it now. how perfect. you know, even if things aren't this perfect when S4 starts, your story & some others are going to stay w/ me & make me happy. thank you!
Author's Response: You're so sweet, officerules06! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story - it was a hoot to write!
What would have happened if Jim had been a little later getting back to the office?
love your story, barajam!!! i was hesitant at first, but i'm glad i gave it a shot. thanks for writing!
A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event. Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).
girl7 - you are a great writer & i love your stories. this has just made me sad though. the thought of pam using jim to get even w/ roy, even if she does feel more than that, is unbearable. if she leaves & tries to keep things going w/ roy, it will kill jim. whew, heavy stuff
Well I'm sorry that this made you sad -- or rather, I'm sorry it made you sad without "purging pity and fear," as good old Aristotle said tragedy should. :o)
This is very, very dark - and Pam's actions are questionable, at best. I promise I'm aware of that (which means I also feel compelled to correct it).
The thing I love about this show and this couple is that there are so many fundamental flaws that render things real. That's what I'm going for here (as best I can) -- the very real consequences of Pam acting so impulsively.
In short: All manner of things shall be well [/Julian of Norwich], and I'll bring them both out of this relatively unscathed (a perk of being the writer, hee).
Thanks so much for your honest review!
OMG, i would love for scott foley to play jim's brother! they are both so adorable! i'm interested to see where your story goes...
Author's Response:
Ah me -- let me tell you, the idea struck me over a year ago, and I just can't get over it. The perfect family (IMHO)? Oldest brother Ron Livingston (props to Colette for calling this one); second oldest Scott Foley.
Thanks so much for reviewing!
i love this story, girl7! please let it have a happy ending for them!!!
Author's Response:
Er.... *crickets*
Hee, I'm joking - but we have to bear in mind: They're okay now! They're going on an actual date, right? So we can revel in the angst for a bit.... :o)
Thanks so much for reviewing!
I love the way you've tied this all in to the real show, girl7! wow, did not see that coming... ;-)
Author's Response:
OMG - I just realized I never responded to this review! I am so sorry - seriously. GOod lord. :o)
Anyway - so glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun tying it into the show, and there were actually more moments I wanted to weave in there, but just didn't (was afraid of being too repetitive after the whole Away From the Cameras thing).
Anyway - thank you so much for reviewing, and I apologize that I somehow missed responding to it sooner!
awesome, mox! i could totally see this happening & would LOVE to see what kiss. ahhhhh...
Author's Response: I appreciate your confidence, officerules! I'd love to see that happen, too..... :^)
Right after The Job aired, someone on the NBC message boards posted with regards to Jim and a potential life with Karen in New York that “Jim is not the kind of guy to do the city...he's going to be much more content to live life with Pam sitting next to him on the couch while she rocks their baby to sleep.” ~sedimentary
This statement warmed me all over and has stuck with me for a long time. I wanted to write about it.
Sweet, abigail ;-). Very nice. Oh how I want to see those moments...
Author's Response: Me too. Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Jim and Pam’s first date is a significant event, but what of the time between the closing of the conference room door and dinner?
yay sb! i'm so glad you're doing this! it's really good. since this one is only 3 chapters, will you maybe do more?
AWESOME, SB, seriously. I loved every bit of this last chapter. Perfection. Please write more!!!
bees! your story made me smile. not many stories do that, you know. i love it & hope you can keep it going until S4 starts!
Author's Response:
I'm glad that I made you smile! That's what I like about this site. There are all different kinds of stories that evoke many different emotions.
Thanks for your review!
Ahhhhhh, NICE, Bees. You are really capturing them so perfectly. You know how in some stories they don't really sound or act right? Well that is not a problem here. I love it & am so glad it has multiple chapters!!!
Author's Response:
I guess watching Jim and Pam over...and over...and over is really paying off.
Thanks for your review, FNOR!
Love-love-LOVE it, Bees!! It's not finished, right? So exciting!
Author's Response:
No, not finished. There will be a JAM wedding, so get your hair did and invest in a dress.
Thanks for your review!
great job, sb! i could see this happening. i'm hope pam is as intuitive on the show as she was here. jim will need her understanding, patience & time! loved it!
Jim and Pam’s secret is out. Pure fluff.
Very cute, SB! Just love the paragraph when he realizes it. Great ending too. Thanks!
