10 This? Is beautiful. Welcome to the fandom! I can't wait to read more of your stuff. I tried to pick out a favorite line, but there are too many. Just lovely. I need to go read it again.
Author's Response: Thank you so much :) It made my night to see such a nice comment from a writer I admire so much. And thanks for the welcome, I think I\'m going to like it around here :)
10 This is just so lovely and insightful. I can wait for more during your hiatus because I know that the wait will be worth it.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I\'m glad you think this will be worth coming back too and I promise it will only be taking a short break :)
Oh, I really like this premise and can't wait for the more personal questions!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you like it!
10 Wow. This is so good. I have a soft spot for the Ryan/Pam pairing when it's written well and this certainly is. This is very believable and very in character. I think I'm going to go and read it again.
Author's Response: Thank you! I love Ryan and Pam, because they really do have a lot in common, especially in Season 3, so it's an interesting dynamic to explore. Definitely one of my favorite pairings.
Yet another story inspired by a song by Ingrid Michaelson called Breakable. I really wanted to tell a story about people being just that -- breakable, and ultimately how grace helps keep us from falling apart. So yeah -- a nice fluffy holiday piece. ;-)10 This is just so beautiful. Jim's letter to Pam? Perfect and right and just wow. It made me tear up a little. This story has been an emotional experience. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thanks GodinThisChilis! I'm so glad you liked the story so much. The letter was really fun to write and definitely the part that moved ME as the writer the most.
With every choice we don't make, we create a universe...

10 UGh....this is so delightfully painful and sad. Is there a word for something so heartwrenching that it's good? I bet the Germans have a word for it.
The imagery here is so wonderful and part of me is cheering for Jim and Pam to get together, but the other part wants them to just keep on living their lives with the angst because somehow that's more real.
Sigh.
10 Oh.My.God. I did not expect this to go down this road and I love that it did. Molly inviting them over to dinner and knowing what Jim was doing in bed? Perfect! I was so excited to see this title pop up again. So good!
10 I was just thinking about this story the other day and I'm so glad to see it back. The feeling, emotion and tension you've managed to weave are so freaking real. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for this.
10 Shass...Shass...Shass....
This is agonizing. I don't know who to root for. Jim and Pam? Molly? Doug? so good and so real. Have I said that before? I hope there's more. But then again I don't want it to end. Argh!!!!
10 So glad to see you and this story back. I think you've created a very real situtaion full of real, adult, complex feelings. It's angsty, sure, but it is so good!
Author's Response: Hey sweetie! I'm always lurking, though I may not be as participatory as I'd like. Thanks for the sweet words. Yeah, my life right now is chock FULL of real, adult, complex feelings. Argh. This is a very healthy way to let it out, let me tell you...
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a hefty dose of smut. Really. Seriously. I'm not kidding. Not work-safe and don't view this where children can see it.

10 What am I thankful for this holiday season?
Story titles that are followed with "by Shassafrass Rated: MA"
Man, you knocked it out of the park with this one and I'm interested to see where you take this next.
10 Man, you write dreams so well. They are so vivid, but with just the slight touch of something not real (like the public sex at the dojo). What's interesting to think about is that these types of dreams are the ones that stay with you in pretty vivid fashion the next day. These could explain some of the staring Jim and Pam did.
Great imagery. Great details. Can you tell I'm trying to write a review that doesn't make me look like a perv for loving these as much (and rereading them as much) as I do?
8 I really like the setup of this story and can't wait to see where you go with it next.
9 This is just lovely and real and wonderful.
Author's Response: GodInThisChilis, thank you! I appreciate the review and the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
10 Every single one of these was spot on perfect. What an enjoyable read!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, GITC! I'm very glad you enjoyed this!
What if Jim chose the other path?
It's angsty, but hold on until the end.
10 This was a lovely way to spend part of my afternoon. Thanks so much for writing it.
10 This was so good. When Jim told Pam she makes him a better man...I got all moist-eyed. Excellent job!
Author's Response: Wow, I\'m so glad you thought so, GodInThisChilis. I can\'t tell you how much I appreciate your review and that you stayed with my little story. Thanks so much!
10 Oh, wow. So well done. So in character. Let me add my voice to those who have said they wouldn't mind more.
Pam spends Christmas with the Halperts. (A first Christmas fic)10 This is so good. I'm sitting in a car. driving to Wisconsin and this is just a lovely diversion. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Aw thank you! Glad I could create a diversion for you during your car ride to Wisconsin ;-)
10 I went back and read all of this the other day and it's just fantastic. I'm a sucker for Jim and Pam aren't together, but he needs her stories and this is awesome. I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response:
You have made my day – Nice reviews from Callisto and GodInThisChilis on the same day?!?!? I LOVE your stories! I'm so excited that you are enjoying mine.
I am so glad to have this story back. I went back and reread all of it a little while ago and I'm amazed at all of the detail you've got packed in here. I love your characterizations and think they are spot on. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for leaving a review. I love, love, LOVE your stories, so to get a compliment on my characterizations from you ... well, it means a lot to me.
9 Wert is wrong. I'm not pissed off at all and I'm totally in love with this story. I have a very soft spot for Pam/Ryan especially when Ryan finds himself head over heals for Pam. Excellent story, excellent details.
I'm also so excited to see where you take this. I'm wondering about your title and how it will come into play. I'm just so fascinated with the concept of how these people would react if the documentary were real and you've got me hooked.
Oh man, you're so sweet to review! I am really sorry I inadvertently used your fic title -- it's such a good one, is all. :)
Thanks so much!
10 So good! I think another reviewer mentioned that this seemed so "adult" and I agree. It was so real and heartwrenching and good. Thanks for such an amazing ride.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
AU Season 2, some undetermined amount of time after Booze Cruise. Roy invites Jim to a house party.10 I read this over on LJ and loved it. So good! I can't wait for the conclusion.
What if Roy was lying when he said he'd never cheated on Pam? What if Pam was always a little less healthy than she let on? What if everything, everywhere, is only meant to fall apart?10 I think I loved this chapter most of all. Of course Jim is at the bar hitting on someone. Of course. And I love how Pam gets her nerve back...doesn't decide that Jim must not love her because he's flirting with someone else. So good. And Jim followed her! Gah! More More More!!!!
