I'm a music teacher and singer based in the Northeast.�The Office fanfiction world was my home for my formative college years, and I come back to re-read my favorite stories often.�I used to waste my time writing/reading X-Files fanfic. I guess it's only natural that I would morph into a JAM fan.
You can read my HIMYM fanfiction on my LJ page under the same author name.
Post-"Gay Witch Hunt"; Pam's growing up and realizing that if you want something, sometimes you have to fight for it.Ok I know I'm late reading/reviewing this, but I'm catching up with things. And I wanted to comment on this chapter because this: "It doesn't do any good to lie in bed and cry, so you might as well come in and keep your mind off how terrible your life is going" made me LITERALLY laugh out loud. Hilarious. Just really really funny.
10 I thought these were fantastic. (I think most of your stuff is fantastic) specifically numbers IV and V. Just really great little pieces. Loved it.
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. Ok I'm in love with this story. Seriously. It's 5 AM and I am completely defeated... Can't wait for more!!!!!!!
10 I really liked this piece as a whole. The idea was great and I enjoyed the originality. The title in and of itself is very cool. Good job!
MEMBER'S CHOICE - "Here’s the thing Jim, sometimes being in love means doing things you don’t want to do for the other person. For you, right now, it means just being her friend. And I think you’re selling yourself short, you are strong enough to do this."
Jim gets some much needed advice about Pam and a little push in the right direction from Mark's girlfriend Jane. Spoilers through the Negotiation.10 YAY!!!! ::applause:: we all already know what I think of tihs amazing story, so I'll just leave it at that ;-)
Author's Response: *takes bow* "Thank you, thank you!" I'm really glad loon went out of town because I got a chance to get to know you....thanks for your help! And here's hoping we see more from you soon....
10 ugh YES. SOOOOOOO great! I love the end!!!!! ::sigh:: "you're just...everything...you know?" ugh, puddle. that's all. wow. well done, uncgirl. well well done.
Author's Response: Thanks for helping me with this, you really did make it better. I know, right? Kinda goes along with some choice phrases from Jim and Pam in a certain fic called scrabble.......and I owed you a puddle. I couldn't think after your last chapter.
"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.
10 so wonderful and emotional. I feel like I cry every chapter of this. Please update soon, I enjoy a little emoting now and then ;-)
By the time her breathing had returned to normal, he was gone.
Whoa nelly. HOT STUFF. I know I'm just one of many to say this, but jesus h. Lay some more on us soon please ;-)
MEMBER'S CHOICE - An alternate universe where Pam and Roy had a wedding, Pam goes to art school in New York, Dwight owns a restaurant and Jim works for a job in advertising that he likes a lot more and gets a lot more money at.
Basically? Dunder Mifflin never exists. And everyone meets under different circumstances.
The characters are pretty much the same -- personality-wise -- they just have different roles and work different jobs.
I love love LOVE this story!!! I totally forgot while I was reading this chapter that this fic is a WIP and I was vastly disappointed when I got to the end of the chapter and there was no "next" for me to click. ;-) Keep it up!!!! I love everything about it.
Author's Response: Oh! I'm sorry it had to end so abruptly for you! Don't worry though, there should be a new chapter up soon. :)
The road to perfection isn't paved in gold.10 Love this story. Love it. I think I had heart palpatations through the entire thing. Well well well done!!!!
10 lol. nice.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!
10 aw! still cute at 55 words.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad the cuteness factor is still intact
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).
10 ugh I'm so addicted to this alternate ending! (huge angst fan? yes. I am.) Please post more soon!!!!!!!!
Author's Response:
Well I gotta tell you - I'm so addicted to writing it! I'm really glad to be doing this AU version, because I'm having so much fun with it.
You should know, BTW, that your name makes me smile every time I see it. Chris Meloni...mmmm. :o)
Thanks for reviewing!
10 yeah Law and Order SVU reference!!! Ugh this is killing me. I cannot wait for more. You seriously seriously rock.
Author's Response:
Hee - had to give a shoutout! (Though I must admit: House has completely stolen Eliot Stabler's place as my TV boyfriend [before you ask - JK's my TV husband, LOL] - there's brooding & tortured [Eliot], and then there's brooding and wounded [guh, House]. Yes, I am aware of how pathetic that entire paragraph was. Heh.)
ANyway - so glad you're enjoying this!
10 omg. why are you a genius? fantastic build up, I love how the tension just pulls like taffy. fantastic.
Author's Response:
Why are *you* a genius?? (Said in tones of Dwight to Phyllis in The Dundies -- "Why were *you* in there?!") Seriously - so appreciate the review (and the simile you so casually tossed out there -- awesome, I'm telling you!).
THanks again for the review, and hey, give Eliott a kiss for me, would you? Like, a big kiss.... :o)
10 loving the build up!!! Can't wait for more ;-)
Author's Response: So glad you're still enjoying it! :o) Thanks for reviewing --
While MTT was down for a brief time one night, I wrote a couple 55 word fics in the TWOP thread about Jim and Pam reading fanfic. I will likely continue this as a long running series, referencing my favorite stories and also newer stories as they come about.
LMAO YES!!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME ;-) I can't believe I made it into one of these chapters. I'm all giddy now.
Author's Response:
Your story was awesome and uh, hot. I couldn't resist having Jim and Pam read it.
Thanks for the comment!
10 YES!!! I am SO excited that you updated this! And this chapter was great. Good for Jim I say. ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you so much Stablergirl! I'm sure I've told you before, but I'm a big fan of yours, so your support is really great. I'm glad that you liked this chapter and Jim's behavior. It wasn't my intention to make Karen a bad person or terrible or anything like that, but rather to just see her as different then Jim (ambition and office philosophy-wise). Thanks for the review!
10 Oh my god this story is my life. Please update soon I just love every second. I especially loved the leopard/bear debate!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much, as I've probably mentioned in previous responses to reviews you've left for me, I'm a big fan, so its crazy hearing such nice things from you. I'm glad that you liked the leopard/bear debate...that came at 2am when I was trying to write something inane but funny for the chapter to start of with. As for updating, hopefully soon, I do have some other WIPs on the stove as well.....and speaking of WIPs....cough*Brought to you by the Letter X*cough. Thanks for the review Stablergirl.
10 Woo hoo! I just found this gem of a story and am LOVING it. Great job with all the voices. I particularly like the german thing, keeps making me laugh out loud. Also, how perfect that it's PAM's game of RISK?! So great. Well done and I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm a big fan of everything you've done, so your kind words mean a lot. The German thing is going to be a running joke for a while, so I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the review Stablergirl.
Some early morning fun with Jim and Pam.
10 wow I love it. short and fantastic.
Jim and Pam and two telephones, post-Season 3.uh...so good.
Your voices are beyond spot on. I'm sooo digging this.
whew. very, very good. Well played.
Author's Response: Thanks, Stablergirl!
lol love this. forget the barn dance.
Post season three finale. Pam, Jim, a train.
