Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
10 I so rarely leave reviews, but your story warrants one. No other story elicits a greater feeling of joy within me when it's updated than this story does. I dance a jig whenever I see that this story is updated.
While all the characterizations in this story are spot-on and GREAT, the Jim/Pam connection is the best. I can't wait for something to actually happen between these two in your story. There are 82 chapters now, and I'm still (im)patiently waiting. THAT is how good your story is; with most other stories, I would've given up by Chapter 10 if there wasn't any payback within the story... but I keep plug-plug-pluggin' with this story because it's so fun to read, etc. That said, PLEASE let something substantial (real honest communication, maybe?) happen between Jim and Pam SOON. PLEASE!
Going back to lurker mode,

Woohoo for lurkers! I was a lurker for months and months and never left a review, so I totally understand. I'm LOUSY at leaving reviews!
Something WILL happen between Jim and Pam SOON! As well as Jim and Karen. Just give me time.... I hope you are getting some laughs along the way while you're waiting for the ♥♥♥♥ !
Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.
10 I love this story! Please continue soon!
I needed some cheering up, so in that vein, here is an incredibly un-angsty little piece of fluff. It's only three parts long and it's almost all done.
Pam and Jim reconnect in the most unlikely of all places...
10 This is great.. Can't wait to see what's next.
“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.
10 Ahhhh! What a great chapter (and story)! I can't wait to read the rest of it. I'm always excited when I see a new chapter or story by you; you're one of the best.
Author's Response: OMG thank you. That is so nice. Please keep reading and reviewing! I love it ;-)
I'm a bad and lazy fanfic reader who usually doesn't leave reviews, but I just couldn't resist leaving one for this story. It's been so long since I left a review that I forgot my password and had to get a new one sent to me in order to comment on this story. Simply put: You are an amazingly talented writer. I can't get over the gorgeous way you put these characters' thoughts and emotions into words. It's practically poetry. I love all your stories, but this one is so wonderful and unique in its execution. Both hilarious (Chapter 2's Michael impersonations and the Mulder/Scully interplay) and heart-wrenching (Chapter 3's Pam/Scully's late night thoughts of love and regret). SIGH!
Awesome! (Ok, I'll stop gushing now. Thank you for this GREAT story and for the continued OFFICE entertainment.)
This will be a series of self-contained chapters (oneshots) exploring various "what ifs" pertaining to episodes spanning seasons one through three. Each chapter will examine how things would've gone differently if either Jim or Pam had responded to a given situation the way that (most) fans had wanted or almost expected them to.
For example, the first chapter focuses on how things would've happened differently if Jim had confessed during those twenty-seven seconds of silence on the booze cruise when we were all holding our breath and hoping he would.
Among the other chapters I have mapped out: What if all the reminders of Jim in "Gay Witch Hunt" had provoked not a small, sad smile from Pam at the end of the episode, but rather, had motivated her to take action -- drive to Stamford to see him for the first time in four months? Or what if Jim had responded to Pam's text in "Diwali" via a post-Jagermeister phone call? What if Jim had walked in on Pam crying at the end of "Back From Vacation"? (...You get the idea.)
Again, though, each chapter will be confined to an episode, so it will essentially be a series of oneshots that are unrelated to each other.
Aarrrgh! You said you were going to update the 2nd chapter no later than Monday, and now it's Thursday. I've been checking every day. Again: Arrrgh.
Sorry, I'm sure you're busy with real life. I just enjoy your story (and all your stories) and can't wait for an update.
What a beautifully written story! I hope you continue writing.
This is the ONLY story I've been eager to see continued lately..I look for updates daily! I hope the next update is soon!
Author's Response: awesome! i hope you enjoy chapter seven. :)
