lol nice.  I LOVE the shout out.  I think you and I have just turned Beef 'n Cheddars into fanon...some kind of weird metaphor or else just something Pam loves.  Thank you I am honored!  And don't you dare change it to something about McDonald's.



Author's Response: Stablergirl, so glad you don\'t mind. I\'ve just been living for \"Famous\" and I\'ve got beef \'n cheddars on the brain, I guess. Now, thanks for the comments (and the permission to plagarize ...or whatever... a bit) . . . but get writing. You\'ve got a mob of addicted readers (with me being your biggest flan) who are on pins and needles to see what happens to alterna-Pam and Jim!

SHUT UP.  This piece is ridiculous.  no joke sweetpea this is like everything I love about literature.  Beautifully crafted and real and symbolic, and I love thinking of Pam as a kind of free spirit in the middle of the night who would want to paint herself onto Jim.  ugh.  Wow. 

"I had curled my hair softly around him, head bowed in supplication to say here, take everything.  Eyes open, I try to see what he sees and i think it is softness.  Eyes closed, I see his skin stretched across his shoulders.  Half-lidded, I let it all blur into movements and breathing and something so deep I can't name it, but I want to write it or paint it or mold it out of clay so I can point to it and say this is what we are."  

Absolutely gorgeous.  Like really really wonderfully put. This piece totally makes me want to toss famous out the window and write something fluid and romantic.  SO GREAT!  Ok I'm done gushing.  ;-)  Why don't I shut up for god's sack?



Author's Response:

i'm so tired of you yelling at me.  :)

I've really, really enjoyed doing the beta stuff with you.  I can honestly say that even though I've been struggling so badly with my own writing, it's been nothing but a sweet ride and so delightful to watch Famous unfold.  Watching your determination no matter where in the world you were jetting off to has been an inspiration.  Thanks for letting me rub up against your mojo and thank you so much for this.  :-*

So funny.  Well played.

Aw!!! So romantic and great! I want a Jim :-( lol ok no seriously though, I especially loved the way you described her being overwhelmed by him kind of, when he says a month.  So wonderful.  And btw I feel like looking at the ring up against all those different fabrics would be exactly what I would do.  I also loved that you didn't really describe HOW he kicked her ass, we just know he did.  Very cool.  Well done I love love love this. ::favorited::

Summary: Why does he always have to say things that make her think of a hundred different 'what ifs'? How come half a minute of staring at him has suddenly made her rethink all her future plans?

Ok no don't forget jim's proposal.  Seriously. ;-)

I'm really enjoying every second of this and your voice for Jim is so spot on, I can totally see it happening.  Well done well done!!



Author's Response: Thank you thank you! I am having so much fun writing this. Almost done... I\'m thinking Pam\'s right about when he\'s going to do it. And by the way I am completely in love with your \'Famous\' and hope you are feverishly working away on the next chapter, because that last particularly was so beautiful and it\'s one of the best things I\'ve seen on this site!

guh.  I am dead.  i was totally crying through that entire proposal.  You are a master, my friend, beautifully done.  What a great little speech he gave.  Ugh if a man ever called me his inspiriation I would totally lose it, that is so great.  Ok enough gushing ;-)  Did I mention this was great?  It was great. Totally just...great.

Author's Response: Wow! No, keep gushing! It\'s so great to hear! :D Thanks for all that! I\'m glad you liked it. Not too fluffy? Well, of course it was, but hey, these kids deserve something sweet. We should all be SOME man\'s inspiration... thanks for reading and all the kind words. You\'re one of my favorite writers on here :D

oh. my. god.  This is achingly well written and so amazing to read.  I really really loved way too much about it so I think quoting what I thought was good would take up like your entire reviews page.  My favorite part, though, is the section about her burning herself and about her teasing him that in a fire he would run around in circles and she'd put the fire out.  So true to them and so beautifully put.

Definitely worth more than a 10.  ;-) Well done and thanks for starting your foray into fic with something so amazing.

Author's Response: Yay that you know Green Acres Stablergirl! I think EVERYBODY should know that theme song. I\'m glad you enjoyed this and I\'m really happy to hear that you thought it was well crafted, because it came to me as two separate ideas. So, good to know. :) Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, and thanks to LoveFool for recommending it! You guys rock. Totally made my day.

Author's Response: Sweatpea, Smuckers, whatever!  I saw your post in the fanfic thread where you were strongly encouraging people to read and review.  You're so sweet (and bossy) - I knew this story wasn't going to threaten anyone's spot on the Top Ten list (*cough*Famous*cough*) but it IS nice to know people like it, so thank you!  :-*

Talkative what a wonderful story you're writing.  I'm so enjoying this slow process of Jim and Pam post The Job.  I love the idea that it might be hard and awkward for them at first while still be amazing (obviously).  It's written so well, and I'm so disappointed every time I get to the end of the chapter, which is of course meant to me a compliment. ;-)  Keep up the amazing work and thanks for posting!

Author's Response: Hiya, Stablegirl - thanks so much for taking the time to write. I think that these two have caused each other too much misery and have too much of a history for this to be entirely uncomplicated. At the same time, the idea of too much drama just seems out of character to me. It\'s a fun balance to locate. I\'m glad you\'re enjoying it.
