“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.
I love so many things about you right now. This story makes me feel so happy. I kind of want to live it. Well I guess that's not gonna happen is it. I quite literally may not be able to wait much longer for more.
Author's Response: hopefully more by tomorrow, if I continue at this rate. Glad I could make you happy and give you an imaginary life to live ;-)
YAY! one more chapter is sad, though :'(. it better be good, if you know what i mean. coughcoughsmutcough.
Author's Response: not gonna lie, it might be two... You never know with me, sometimes I turn one into two or two into three. And no comment cough...cough... ;-)
I really need you to update by like....tomorrow, because I'm going away for a week and I can't wait that long. (Ok, so you don't HAVE to update tomorrow, but it'd be cool if you did). Also, I think you should just change the names of the people in this and make it a movie. Same premise though....I'd see it...more than 5 times...
Author's Response: lol! Actually...not to get your hopes up...but I think it might be ready by tomorrow (tuesday)...so keep your eyes peeled. And maybe i will make it a movie!!!!! ;-)
Chapter one: Yes it's that first official date! That nervre wrecking first date......maybe not that nerve wrecking......
Chapter two: And now what? Need a towel?
Good stuff! Haha..."Will it happen?"
Really great story. I would honestly never know that english is your second language if you hadn't pointed it out. The only mistake I saw is you said "tinkles" instead of "tingles" which is just plain funny, so that's okay. Great job!
Author's Response:
Oops! I knew there was something wrong there, hahaha
thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it.
That was awesome! Medicated Jim is hilarious. I love it. I really hope you make this a series!
Author's Response: Thank you, I kinda adore Jim all loopy like this...it was awesomely fun to write. Thank you for your kind reviews and we'll see what trouble I can get them in next time.
This is so well written. I already love Andy on the show, but I love having a backstory for him (even if its not true lol)...to see why he is like he is. Great job...looking forward to more!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like the writing, nbyevu. I'd never written any fiction before this past May, so I sort of feel like Grandma Moses, finding something a bit later in life. Not that my fics can be compared to Grandma Moses' paintings, but you know...
It is fun to fill in a backstory for Andy. Like most of us, it seems he's probably been the same person all along, just the surroundings change. But he's still trying to fit in, and thinking he's managing it, and generally having a good time. Remember Michael (of all people) saying how he'd never known someone with so little self-awareness as Andy? What a great character Andy has turned out to be.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, nbyevu!
haha! I thought it was very clever and very cute! The part about the "sore vagina" made me laugh really hard...reminded me of an episode of scrubs where Elliot says she's going to need a "vaginaplasty" hehehehe
I agree with Tasha the Cookie. Somehow, you cover all angles and yet it all happens so fast and it's realistic? If only the world were like that.
AW! The end made my stomach do little flippies. I'm such a sucker for this stuff. Good job!
Pre “The Job”… actually, pre a lot of stuff. Set sometime in Season Three, I guess.
Pam decides to take matters into her own hands.OOH! Lovelovelove.
Author's Response: Ooooh, 3 loves. Awesome. Thanks!
I decided to write a sequel to Charcoal & Watercolors !!!!
The story picks up right about where Charcoal & Watercolors left off -- Jim and Pam's wedding. Then goes from there into their future. Jim still works at the advertising company and Pam works (exclusively) at a publishing company where she is an illustrator of children's stories.
I added a few more characters ;) and am planning on keeping almost all of the characters from the previous story.
Enjoy!!
Oh man Phoebe's dress was SO PRETTY! That makes a very nice image in my head. That was a very beautifully written chapter. And you won't be updating as often? What, do you have a job now or something? How dare you! Heehee JUST KIDDING! Yay for sequels. Can't wait!
Author's Response:
Haha! I actually do NOT have a job now. Horrible, horrible economy. I'm about two months away from cutting off all ties here and moving to Chicago. It's really bad when I can't even get a job as a receptionist somewhere!
I'm not actually sure how far apart the breaks between chapters will be. I'm beta'ing some of them, so that slows the process a little bit...and of course, I want the chapters to be the best they can possibly be! :) Basically, when I said that I wouldn't be updating "as often", it meant that I'm not going to post 2 chapters a day. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any week-long breaks between chapters.
“Quite an interesting collection you have here, Jim.”
Pam and Jim are learning all sorts of interesting things about each other.
A smattering of short(ish) scenes on the subject...
Ok, so first of all, I love any story that has Pam finding porn and Jim getting all embarassed. It just shows that Jim is human and yet STILL perfect because he thinks Pam is so much better. And this was just so well written. I hope there's more, but I wouldn't want that to take away from a certain other story I know you're working on!
Author's Response: Hmm....what story could you possibly mean?? ;-) Thanks so much for the review - I'm happy you liked it.
Jim placed his mouth over hers, reminding Pam there was a language he spoke even better than Dork.
^^That is a BRILLIANT line. Cheesy, yet so perfect for them.
Thanks!! I like my Jam with just a touch of cheese. :-)
Thanks for th review!
Oh man, that was depressing but as usual, made me love Jim even more. Good job.
It's never too late to celebrate the people you love.“Real presents or 'Look what I have for you in my pants' presents?”
Oh, silliness. That made me laugh outloud. It also reminded me of a South Park episode where Butters tap-dances to a song that goes, "I've got something in my front pocket for you! Why don't you reach down in my pocket, and see what it is?" Heh.
omg - I forgot about that! I love South Park.
Glad you liked the story - thanks for taking the time to review!!
Not the Kit Kat! Anything but the Kit Kat!
Oh Pam. We have such similar minds.
Oh dear lord that was funny. I don't know if I'd go THAT far for chocolate. But I'll tell you this: even if I didn't like chocolate, I would attack John Krasinski as Pam did Jim.
Author's Response: If my co-worker were Jim Halpert, I'd probably take it a bit further. Okay, I'd probably do something that'd get me fired. Okay, no probably about it...I'd totally do something that'd get me fired if it meant hot steaminess with Mr. Halpert AND a Kit-Kat bar simultaneously.
What would have happened if Jim had been a little later getting back to the office?
WAIT WHAT? That's ridiculous. AHHH.
It's about damn time -- not only for Pam & Jim to go on a date, but for me to get in on this whole fanfic writing thing. I hear it's the next big thing. (1) that is amazing (2) i wish i was the one finding Jim's pants (3) i'm RainCity over at TWoP and for some reason I thought you had been writing forever. i guess you learn something new everyday!
Congrats on a very short, but very well done job!
Thanks, RainCity. I clearly spend way too much time thinking about Jim's pants. And breakfast.
(I've only been reviewing forever, because fanfic helped me not lose my mind last summer, and pretty much all of S3).
6 A teenage Pam goes to meet up with Roy at his summer job at the Home Depot, and while waiting for him she runs into Jim for the first time.
A response to the summer job challenge. Part 1 of my "Construction of the Heart" series.
Awww. I love this...
Author's Response: Aww! And I love you! LOL Thanks so much for the lovely review and for reading.
The new cleaning lady at Dunder-Mifflin writes home to tell about the zoo she sees every day.
Such a great story! I love how "Sunny" has a background of her own and tells her sister all about the drama where she works. I used to do the same thing! Although if I were Sunny, my sister would have told me to shut the hell up about work by now. But I don't want Sunny to shut up!
I hope that made sense to you. Essentially, it means I really enjoy this story. Keep it up!
Oh come on! You can't leave us hanging like that. That's not the end, right?
Author's Response: I like to try to leave each chapter with a little bit of a cliffhanger, some more dramatic than others. Plus I was near 11,000 words, so it kinda needed to wrap up. That said, it is not the end, there still is a bit more story to tell. Thanks for the review nbyevu.
A glimpse into the instant messaging history of Jim and Pam. Written with the intention of expanding on what we see on the show, as well as to tie up some loose ends. There will be a conversation for each episode through Season 3.
ok when i read that he "ran into the building" i was thinking more like ran into the side of the building. and then i realized you meant ran through the doors. i feel stupid.
and oh! that was really cute :-D i hope you keep it up this season
WYDM is Scranton's local radio station, with our favorite paper-pushers as DJs. Kelly gossips, Angela gives advice, Toby does traffic, and there's a new guy doing the morning show that's causing quite a stir...
I love this story. love love loveeeeeeeeee it. one million dundies to you. keep on truckin with the awesomeness.
Author's Response: One million Dundies, wow! Wait, why are they all bowlers? ;) Thanks for reading!
