How Jim became a 28-year-old virgin.
I think you developed this premise in an interesting fashion. It could have been very silly, but it looks like it will be interesting to know more about Jim Halpert's past.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you think it has potential!
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.
This is really a cool idea. I like the conversations so far.
I really love all those little conversations. You're able to capture the little things about them (and Michael too!). It's really fun to read.
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad I'm able to capture some of their quirks in this format.
Ryan gets an email from a friend. In response to the 55 words leaving scranton challenge. Ryan does not belong to me. Neither does his promotion.
Ha, Ryan's the paper guy! It is better than being fire guy at least. LOL
Author's Response: lol exactly. he should remeber that ;-)
Hee. That was great. You were really able to capture both Andy ("Some rum a la Coke at your place or mine.") and Kelly ("It was almost you,").
Author's Response: Thanks, whoever you are. You seem familiar.
I liked the A Benihana Christmas reference. Worked well in this short format.
Author's Response: thanks... i'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Dinner, and what happened later. Post-Season 3.A makeover! Car banter! Karen's CV on the floor! Who knew those were the pieces of an awesome story? Yet, this is clearly one in the making. You really have a way of hitting just the right tone with your stories.
Author's Response: Thank you, Morning Angel. They are slightly strange ingredients. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love all the little touches you put to this story: Michael sends champagne and can't spell grease, Pam is being so sweet to Michael going beyond what she should probably do, Jim can really read her thoughts, the tie discussion,... It's all very lovely. :)
I love happy and horny Jim and Pam. Ha. This just seemed right, but I will say you are quite the tease for stopping that chapter where you did. Bring on the apartment action!
Author's Response: Oh, it's been broughten! ;) Thanks, Morning Angel!
Pam had learned two things from her years with Roy. Speculative for season 4, unspoiled.
Oh, this was hard to read, but so well done. You're very good at packing a lot of punch in few words.
Author's Response: I do love the 55 word format. Thank you so very much. Sorry about the angst this early in the morning!
Nice story. It was great you incorporated so many couples in there.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, the office romances can get a little confusing to manage, but I did the best I could. I think Dwight & Angela are especially amusing and I love when we get to see them on the show. They're so ... weird. Hehe.
That was very cute. This felt very true to life for me...
“I’m not very good at the beginning of relationships,” Jim cut her off. “It’s just so awkward and weird and I thought we’d be past that with having known each other for while, but maybe not. I’m sorry, you probably didn’t care about Wife Swap, but maybe if you watch it with me one…”
Congrats on your first Office fanfic!
Jim and Pam try to find their way back. Hopefully without a national audience. Spoilers up to The Job. Love the changes you've made. You rocked this story, my dear. A really entertaining first date fic! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your great advice (as always). Judging by the reviews, you knew exactly what needed fixing. Love!
This was great! Your dialogue was perfectly in character and so snappy. Wonderful!
Michael's looking for a long lost relative - with (hopefully) hilarious results. Set S4ish - NO SPOILERS - with a healthy dose of a blissful Jim and Pam because I simply can't help myself.
:) This is even better than the earlier draft I had seen. You rock. I always enjoy it thoroughly when Michael thinks up a hare-brained scheme and Jim and Pam have a little bit of fun at his expense. :) Can't wait to read more. And I love the title. This story was well worth the wait!
Author's Response: Well that is nice to hear!! It is very fun to write. I was struggling w/the title and then...bam. :) So glad you liked it. More soon!
I just had to say I continue to love this story. Yes, I do. :)
Author's Response:
Well - I wrote it for you - so I'm glad to hear it. :)
A financial advisor found in a supermarket, a Swedish bank account, wizardry... All in a day's work for Michael Scott. I am convinced Dwight would be over the moon about it! This is a really fun story. :)
Author's Response: Oh Dwight can't be more excited about all this. It's helping to distract him through the breakup. ;) So glad you're enjoying it!!!
Jim/Pam - The Job onwards. Going through the motions. This was lovely. It was a great description of their relationship that is not overly idealized or pessimistic either. I really liked that the encounter with Roy was a nice, quiet moment where they both agree it's good they've moved on. I really enjoyed this story.
Author's Response: I want their whole relationship to be quiet, not bombastic or loud or a basic soap opera, and I love that it gets across. :D Thanks so much! ♥
A series of vignettes inspired by random song clips from the iPod. No chronological order, so sit tight. It might be a bumpy ride through time.That was hilarious. That's actually almost a better date than if it had worked perfectly because all your cards are on the table. No more pretense. I loved Jim picking up the lettuce off his shirt. And a wisecrack to end the chapter, "We still have more wine. And cheesecake! Why don’t you go take your clothes off and we can have dessert in the bedroom?” That was perfect.
Author's Response: Ha! Well, it's definitely a story they can share for years to come. So glad you enjoyed this, MA.
This was very funny. And really disturbing how many food metaphors you were able to include in this! LOL
"I am! Pamela Anderson could never do that!" Hee!
Good thinking! That was cute.
Author's Response: Thanks Morning Angel!!!
Written for both the Pam's Pregnancy and 55 Word challenges. Takes place before The Job.
Oh dear! You're making life tough for Ms. Fillipelli, aren't you? LOL
What if Pam had gone along with Michael and Dwight to the convention? Was she ready to see Jim? Was Jim ready to face Pam?I am really enjoying the alternate season 3. It's cutting to the chase, isn't it? Looking forward to more chapters. :) Thanks so much MA. Now you've got me thinking that I should carry this further into season 3 than I originally intended. Hmm..... Thanks again for your review.
Author's Response:
Nooooo... You can't leave us here like that, just hanging! I like the way you have melded plot points from The Convention and The Job. It works well. I can't wait to see the rest.
Oh yay! This is awesome. Jim had someone with him when he found Dwight with the hooker. He was so sad bewildered last time about it, with no one to tell. And they're fugitives from the camera! Very cute.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I wanted to incorporate that scene bacause Jim is so gleeful, but so sad and lost at the same time.
