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.

ooo I'm liking where this is going.  Very intriguing.  Plus I kind of used to like Ryan, so I'm ok with this detour from Jam with a promise of Jam in the future ;-)  Nicely done.

Pam.  C'mon.  Watching Law and Order: SVU is always an adventure. Always.  ;-)

Ok seriously though I love this story.  LOVE.  I cannot wait for more.  You are definitely my prolonged strike salvation, and your stories never fail to be entertaining and fresh!!



Author's Response:

Amen, sister (on the SVU comment -- I have to give my shout-outs to sexy Chris Meloni whenever I can....)  I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying this, and thanks so much for your kind words about my stories.  :o)

Thanks for reviewing!

ugh I'm dying.  This story is my life right now.  Update soon or I might literally spontaneously combust from the wonderful wonderful girl7 tension. 

Author's Response:

Well listen, to get a review from you is high praise indeed, as your writing never ceases to blow me away.  (Seriously.)  I promise I'll be updating very soon -- like, within the next hour!  :o)

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Ok so Jim telling Pam it's like she doesn't really want him to turn off his feelings for her?  AMAZING.  That was so great that you had him realize that and say it out loud because that is SO true.  SO true.  Also, how awesome was it for me to come home today and 1) find a ton of awesome reviews from you and 2) find a fantastic new chapter to devour like a starved animal?  Seriously.  Great stuff ;-)

Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked that line -- I don't know about you, but when a story takes hold of me (like this one has), I tend to hear snatches of dialogue at the most random times -- most often when I'm driving to and from the office, which is strange, I know.  I'll also sort of envision snippets of scenes, and that's what happened with this one; I could so clearly see him telling her he can't just turn it off, then calling her on the fact that he really doesn't think she wants him to. 

BTW: Your latest?  Just amazing.  It's a testament to what a freaking brilliant writer you are that when I read your stuff, it's so inspiring that it makes me want to go write.  So good.

Thanks for reviewing!

UGH.  so wonderful!!!! man oh man.

Ok so my three favorite parts were when Josh first interrupted them on the porch or wherever and was like "Go back to what you were..." that made me laugh so hard.

Then obviously the whole boxer exchange.  Not only was it hilarious but also...Jim's boxers.  Yum.

And last, but not least at ALL, Jim's "sleep well." Melting in my chair.  God.  I love this story. 



Author's Response:

Wow - thank you!  I'm glad you liked the Josh bit -- don't know if you watch "Chuck" or not, but he is always having those kinds of awkward moments on the show, wherein he ends up sort of fumbling and bumbling, and Zach Levi is so hilarious when he does that. 

And who doesn't love thinking about Jim's boxers?  (Well now if that didn't make me sound like a skeevy little perv, I don't know what would....) 

Thanks so much for reviewing!!!

ugh great job with this.  What a tough thing to write, and you did wonderfully.  the breakup was perfectly heart breaking and Jim was so good.  Well done.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  (And I'm well behind on your latest because of grading and all sorts of other ridiculous interferences, but I have every intention of catching up...and am looking ridiculously forward to doing so, as a matter of fact.) 

Thanks for reviewing!

Why are you killing me with this story?!?!  Seriously, is there some kind of support group, because that would probably be really helpful... Can't wait for more, especially if more includes the booze cruise!

Author's Response: stablergirl . . . I\'m finally getting around to responding to reviews and I have to say -- I\'m so flattered that I was able to kill you with this story because that\'s what you\'ve been doing to me with \"Famous\". I guess we\'re both each others\' crack peddlers, huh? Ah well. Thanks so much for reviewing (way back when). Truly appreciated.
