A night of reading fanfic gives Pam some courage...
Response to the Internet Fanbase Challenge.
I LOVE this! You write Pam really well, and it was so interesting to read what she had to say about the differences between the show and the "real" people. Very cool!
Author's Response: Aww, thanks for the review. I am glad that Pam seemed well written, because I wasn't always so sure of that.
He was well aware of the fact that what he was contemplating (no, planning) could result in the loss of his job; after all, the very definition of a documentary stipulated that the cameramen not alter the natural course of events or become actively involved with the subjects in any way.
Even more than that, though, he understood that to do this would be to tread a dangerous line; it was rather like playing god in some ways.
What if Jim could see what we've seen?
No spoilers, all speculation. A oneshot. Yes, a oneshot. Seriously - it's finished.
Oooh... I love Jim in that scene in the breakroom. Love him!
He should've been happy that Karen had finally warmed up to his joking ways. He wasn't.Loved this story! The blog stuff had me laughing out loud, particularly the "the role of Michael Scott will be played by Garry Shandling" part... hilarious! Thanks for a fun read. :)
Author's Response: Hee - thanks! The Garry Shandling thing was a subtle homage to an episode of the X-Files, and I didn't know if anyone would get it (and possibly no one did), but I couldn't resist. I had a lot of fun with the blog part. I almost miss it now that it's over! :)
Role Reversal Challenge: It's May 2006. Jim's wedding is approaching and a lovelorn Pam can't take much more. Starts during Casino Night (or an AU version of it).
I really enjoyed this! I would love to see what happens next...
I am enjoying this so much! I hope you'll update soon... :-)
Author's Response: Glad you like it. I'm fine tuning chapter 7 right now, I'll probably post it tonight.
Go Jim! Go Jim! I'm so happy he was-- err, ALMOST-- proactive about Pam! Can't wait to see what happens. :)
Wow, Japan! Well, I'm happy that you took the time to update this. I loved Jim's series of voice mails. Adorable. I'm still sticking with the story, hoping you'll update more!
Author's Response: It wasn't really lack of time (believe me, I have plenty of time), more lack of inspiration. Thanks for sticking with me!
Cute! Kind of makes me want a red jellybean...
Author's Response: Please, take as many as you'd like.
Summer picnics, maps, rain...things change year to year. (No spoilers.)Whhhheeeww. WOW. Loved this one. It really, really got to me!
Especially this line:
These days, believing that Jim is actually anywhere is a leap of faith.
Awesome!
This is a transcript of The Newlywed Show, taped in December 2009.Haha-- very entertaining! I laughed out loud several times. Particularly loved "Jim, I’m not sure you have a grasp on units of time..."
Author's Response: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Work was a lot more fun a year ago. Set mid-season three with the very vaguest of season three spoilers.
Very enjoyable. Poor Pam. I especially liked this-- ""i wish the back of his neck would shut up."
Oooh, Jim trying to make Karen jealous perhaps?! Love it.
This was really cool!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Pam wakes up feeling not quite herself...
Hahaha... followed the link from TWOP... I'm finding this idea all too amusing!
Kelly, Pam, and Karen find different meanings in a romantic comedy. Takes place sometime after Women's Appreciation (season three). Spoilers for the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding"
Ha-- I love My Best Friend's Wedding. This is really cute.
Author's Response: Thanks! I like it myself (the movie, that is! Ha!)
Jim is cursing himself for not telling Pam how he felt about her before moving to Stamford. But it's not too late...Very creative! This was fun to read.
Pam cools her feet in the water. Takes place immediately following Beach Games.Very nice execution of the metaphor! Love it!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Post finale Jim/Pam. That's all I can say without spoiling people. It really HAS been a long year... and now we can look forward to happy stories like this all summer long!!!! :) So sweet.
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).
Took me a few days to read this one, but I totally loved it. Thank goodness I discovered it after it was finished, because I don't think I could have waited through the angst to get to the happiness... not that I don't love angst!
Post season three finale. Pam, Jim, a train.
I love trains. A writing teacher once told me a writer should always try to live near trains... this story reminded me of that! Loved it.
More? Please? I'll be waiting right here so I won't have go on another SECOND longer than I have to without the next chapter.
Author's Response: laugh! here, i'll try and do it right now.
This story needed a rewrite. But I wanted to keep the original on the site as well...
Jim's POV- he comes to the office late at night to discover Pam there as well. Takes place during season 3, right before Valentine's Day.
This is a holiday inspired fic based on Season Two's Christmas Party. A look into what inspired Jim to get the teapot, and why Pam swapped Dwight for it. From there, it is an AU look at what happens when Pam realizes that Jim took back the infamous Christmas Card and why she's desperate to find out what Jim wrote.Oooh, I'd love to hear the rest! I'm sure we're all dying to know what Jim really wrote on that card!
Author's Response: I would personally love to know what was really in the card. But if Greg Daniel's won't tell me i can make it up. :-) There's more coming, I promise. Thank you so much for reviewing.
Already commented on this elsewhere, but YES! Love! This could have become "hey, we're both single, let's make out," but it was so much better than that. Ah, two ships passing in the night...
What if Pam confronted Jim a little sooner than on Beach Day? A S3 AU angst-fest, complete with uneaten pizza. Spoilers up to/around Business School....My favorite line: "“I needed someone to want me,” she said softly, “and you didn't.”" Awwww. Poor Pam. Poor Jim. Yay for them being mad at each other and consoling themselves by making out! Very enjoyable!
Author's Response: thanks for the review, naomi!
