Cinderella meets Groundhog Day meets Dr. Gregory House. Pam will never be the same. (Set during S3's Ben Franklin.)Another interesting and witty chapter. I like the stregnth that House is giving Pam in her quest to get Jim. House does the exact same thing w/ his student. I cannot wait to see what "trouble" Pam causes.
Set sometime after season 4. Jim and Pam decide to watch the documentary for the first time, together. Just some fluff with a dash of angst for good measure.
Nice story -- I think it's interesting premise for them to see what we (the viewer) saw, all the love, angst and drama between them. I cannot wait for the angst parts.
I like this road down memory lane. I think it's a nice parallel to the Jim and Pam story: reliving the moments of their love story.
"Of course he’d heard that the wedding was off."Awesome story! It is written with such precise and descriptive language. I think this a refreshing view of the heartache that Jim went through in Stamford. Also, I like the notion that Michael broke the news to him. But I think the ending was perfect. Once again nice story! I hope that you will write more TO stories.
15 What a beautiful written story. The description of Pam's emotions and love for Jim are so vivid, alive and full of wonderful images. And the title is so fitting for this story.
I think this sums up Jim's feelings perfectly: He knew she was teasing, but he couldn’t resist the sincere tone of his answer. “I’ve wanted you for years.” Even though this story is more about Pam than Jim, this line / part does a great job of telling Jim's longing for Pam -- simple, true and full of emotion.
I think this is a beautifully written story. It's always hard for me to read stories where Jim and Pam are separated but if a story is written well (like this one) than I get wrapped up in it. The ending was perfect a great tie in with the beginning.
Wow. What a great concept for a story... and who would've thought the word "Ryan" could have changed the course of Season 3. This is such a simple line “Why didn't you tell me?” he whispered finally. It conveys so much of Jim's sadness during this time. Nice Job!
The interaction between Jim and Pam was filled with just right amount of drama, anger and sadness. I love a good "fight" scene, especially one that is written well.
Jim Halpert is a high school English teacher starting a new life at a new school in a new town.
Lovely story and I love it even more b/c of the reference to my favorite poet -- Pablo Neruda. And the footnotes are very helpful. This story is great because it is a "smart" story written w/ well choosen words.
Author's Response: Thank you for the sweet review, Alamos! I'm glad you're enjoying this and the Neruda, too!
What a beautiful story and a great tribute to Neruda and Wallace. Once again this is by far one of the most orignal stories out there. I am sad to see this story end.
What a great surprise to see so many people from MTT helping you out. That is wonderful.
Aww, I was sad to see it end, too, Alamos! Normally, I spend such a long time with something that I'm relieved to post it and be done, but I really loved being in this world with them. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and if you think it's a fitting tribute, that makes me happier than anything. I read giants like them and feel so grateful to have a perfect model to follow, however feebly.
It was such great fun to get so much help with the Epilogue! Lovefool and I have been knocking stuff around for awhile now - I contacted her out of the blue to see if she wante to co-author something. I just loved her style and I think she's so funny - I thought we could do something together. We've tried - we really have! But it just turned into a wonderful friendship - as warm and supportive as any real life friendship. I trust her implicitly with characters and storylines - she has wonderful instincts.
Those other two? Hoo and Colette? Yeah, if they hang in there, they'll be stars someday! </Bad John Krasinski imitation>. They're so awesome and I was thrilled and honored to have their help.
What a wonderful story. I think you did a great job of capturing the excitement and love between them. I don't if i am just overly emotional but this was a great line:It felt as if his heart stopped beating for a moment. It was amazing, after all this time, to realize that conversations like this were real. This really could - and would - happen. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Also Jim asking Pam's Dad for "permission" was so classy and totally something Jim would do.
What a funny clever story. It's like the writers ot TO give fanfic writers like yourself throwaway lines to expand on. The banter and playfulness between Pam and Jim is so natural. And of course old women and young child are attracted to Jim Halpert, duh!
Author's Response: Aww thanks Alamos! I love that they give us these random little details that we can explore! Just another example of why TO writers are so amaaaazing [/Kelly]. I\'m glad you liked it. Thanks for the review! :)
What a beautiful story filled with so much love, affection and passion between them. And if Jim couldn't get any better -- he does this. I love how emotional Pam got over seeing all her stuff in their home, sometimes the simplest gestures are the most romantic.
WOW! So many emotions in this story: love, loss, heartache, and hope. All of them are so beautifully written. Jim's pain and loss for Pam and their daughter is written so beautifully, that's impossible not to be right w/ him as he is experiencing his life crumble.
The weaving between past and present is done effortless and you do a great job of keeping me (the reader) right there in the moment with them. At the end I felt joy and sadness for them.
Nice introductory chapter. I think the premise is very original and a great way to see Pam and Jim's relationship at the beginning.
It will be interesting to see what the secret cameras film.
An Office/Sex and the City crossover (Pam/Jack Berger). Pam moves to New York and makes friends.
As a fan of both shows I did a little happy dance when I saw this story was crossover. The pairing of Berger and Pam should make an interesting relationship. In the fanfic world I can always handle Jim and Pam apart if it is written w/ tact and intelligence-- like this story.
I always thought Berger's major flaw was his insecurity w/ Carrie's accomplishments and of course how he handled the criticism of the scrunchy. You have written him as a much stronger character, at least that has made some peace w/ his literary career, so it will be interesting to see how his relationship (if any) w/ Pam grows. And the tie-in to the drunk dialing of Pam was brilliant. Nice job.
Note to self -- don't read sad fanfic at work. From beginning to end I was in tears. Even this story is fiilled w/ sadness and heartache, there is so much love in it.
The missing text messages of Pam's has always been a part of their story that has interested me so much. I think you have done such a wonderful job of conveying both their feelings of sadness, apprehensiveness with a little bit of hope.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It was one point that I was frustrated the writers left dangling so I had to play with it.TWSS. ;)
That last Jim and Pam scene in Stress Relief has been playing on my mind since Sunday...and begging me to expand upon it. So here is a little missing scene from Stress Relief.
*Please forgive the uninspired title...it's late.
Wow. What a sweet and tender story between Pam's two men. I think you captured the moment between these two men with kindness and sensitivity. Great story.
Well I was (am) a huge fan of Philly Jim, I think you did such a great job in that story of telling an honest, heartfelt loving story. I know this will be the same. I think this story starts off strong with Pam's struggle of listening to her "voice" and deciding what to do. Aren't we all struggling to really listen to OUR voice? (I know I am.). This is such a great line: The real Pam’s voice. The first time I recognized that voice as me, I nearly cried. I wanted to hug her and whisper in her ear, I’ve been waiting for you. Where have you been?
It's going to interesting to see what direction you take the new Pam. I love fanfic because it allows you (the writers) to explore other possibilities. And I think after Philly Jim, I trust your instincts with our lovely Pam.
All her life, Pam's felt invisible. That's all about to change. An AU take on Beach Games.Wow! What an amazing story. It was so emotional, so steamy and so happy at the same time. I love how you handled the Karen situation. Your twist on the Beach Day confession was so creative and clever.
Author's Response: Thanks Alamos! I\'m happy my one-line dismissal of Karen seems to have gone over so well...though, of course, she had to be sacrificed. Like Toby. I\'m glad you liked this! Thanks for the review. :)
What a lovely, funny, sweet story. Michael's comment are totally Michael. Very funny introduction. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
I knew going into this story it would be emotional... but Damn... what a heartbreaking beginning. But it is written really well. And I love how he just wants to be with Pam.
What a great way to start the summer! This is such a perfect story. You do a great job job of describing Jim's love, attraction and want of Pam.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks Alamos! Always love to hear from you!
Some very cool people told me to read this story... and WOW. I love it. The tone, the characterization, the dialogue. You are doing a great job. I love how the angst is filled w/ just a little bit of hope.
