Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.I'm incredibly confused about where you're going with this. I mean, this is a Jim/Pam site, not a Ryan/Pam site. And you are going completely out of Ryan's character. Ryan admits himself that Jim's a nice guy and he's not in The Merger. This has stopped being fan fiction and is simply fiction. Also, I'm just bitching because I want to read Jim/Pam stuff. This is actually quite good, but I still hate it because it's not Jim/Pam. lol. So, please, for the love of God, just end it or make it about Jim and Pam now. I'm sick of waiting. I've got the show to wait for, I don't want to have to wait for fan fiction to stop stalling and just bring them together.
Author's Response: Yikes, okay, first off, yes this primarily is a Jim/Pam site, but people do tend to post other pairings here as well because its a great forum for sharing fanfiction. I don't think I'm stretching Ryan's character all that far actually. The show gives us an extremely limited view of every character we see, as in, we see them at work and that's about it. I don't think she show has ever said "Ryan's a bad guy and not nice at all", in fact, on a number of occasions he's been shown as very friendly (think back to the Pilot? Dundies? Email Surveillance? Cocktails?) I really think that out of that office he could be a cool guy. And not to go off on a tangent or anything, but the show doesn't have me entirely convinced that Jim and Pam should be together. They are both pretty emotionally immature and I think that Pam in particular needs someone outside of Roy/Jim to help her overcome some of her insecurities (but thats just my opinion). I can't promise that I"m going to "get Jim and Pam together" in this story, but I can promise that I've not forgotten about them. Thank you for reading and sharing your comments, I really do appreciate them. Hopefully you can suspend your disbelief somewhat and keep an open mind about Ryan ;)
“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.
10 Amazing. Simply amazing. Keep writing. I check mtt's most recent page all the time, and whenever I see this story come up I get excited. I can't wait to read more. And the scene in the kitchen, the first time Pam feels the intensity of the relationship, that's just about the best written thing I've ever read online.
Author's Response: wow thank you so much. that is such a great compliment! Please keep reading!!
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).
I love it. I love pretty much everything you write. Make it a happy ending? Please? Go AU, I don't even care. Please?
Author's Response:
Wow, thank you so much! And I will promise you a happy ending, though it's kind of a lesser-of-two-evils thing: The original arc I had intended (which I'll follow through) involves a happy ending, but no AU. But I'm also going to post a spin-off or additional chapters that'll go in a different direction -- the AU (read: smut, angst, more smut). The evil? Well, the AU will bring the smut, but likely not the happy. So...yeah. :o)
Thanks so much for your review!
Mid-season 3, Pam's night out with the boys takes a bit of a turn.Please write more of this story. I love that tension. Pretty please? Or at least write something like it again. I remember reading it before and loving it, but I don't comment until the end of a story. And you never finished it. So, please stop writing Talk and finish this one. I like it so much better.
A glimpse into the instant messaging history of Jim and Pam. Written with the intention of expanding on what we see on the show, as well as to tie up some loose ends. There will be a conversation for each episode through Season 3.
