For May we want to feature an overlooked author and shannanagin definitely did not get nearly the accolades she deserved in the early days of the archive! We hope you'll read all 7 of her fics and give them lots of jellybeans, you can start with her first, Glass which is a great moody look at Jim's thoughts during casino night, her final fic, this is the way that we love which is a very interesting and bittersweet look at Pam and Roy as their relationship came to an end, or her longest fic, Laugh This Life With Me, a canon-divergent epic with Jim and Pam finding their way to each other a bit sooner.
Less than a year ago Rach3l burst onto the MTT scene with the ridiculously hot Words Left Unsaid and since then has published 14 stories. Not one-shots either, but multi-chapter epics whose word-counts have added together to already make her the 5th most prolific author on the archive! What's notable about Rach3l is the highly imaginative situations she throws our beloved Jim and Pam in. From a 1984-esque dystopia in Freedom First and it's sequel Safety First, a world where everyone has superpowers in Sin Aesthetics, and just a good old fashioned college AU in The music of my heart, or whatever, you'll be impressed how Rach3l can take the core JAM story and make it something different and fresh.
If AUs aren't your thing, never fear, she also more canon-compliant stories like first date/first time fic Love Loyalty and Friendship or Pam meeting the parents in Irish Spring. Either way, you can't go wrong with any of her fics!
This July marks 12 years of MTT online which is fitting since GodInThisChilis is our 12th most favorited author! One thing that makes The Office so interesting is how it's filmed like a documentary, and no MTT author incorporated the documentary element better than GITC. Long before the underwhelming reveal of the camera crew, GITC wrote several stories about Jim & Pam interacting with the crew such as the fan-favorites Observer's Effect and Nobody's Business But Mine. But all 20 of her stories are worth a read from the Reality Reality TV series to the Beach Games aftermath in Like Sands Through the Hourglass to an ousider's take on JAM in I Was In the Chili's -- An Open Letter from God.
If you're an andtheivy fan, you probably agree she did not get the accolades she deserved Dundie wise or jelly-bean wise so this is an opportunity to remedy that. All 18 of her stories are worth a read from her collection of steamy stories in the Let's Spend the Night Together series, her great college AU Three Man, a collection of moments through the years between Jim and Cece in Daddy's Girl and an AU with Jim and Pam together from the beginning in In My Life, I Love You More. So start with those fic and then read the rest!
Though only at MTT for less than at year, agian18 is already in the top 10 most prolific authors (by wordcount), thanks in large part to her epic Wake Me Up. Once you've checked that out make sure to read her other 7 fics, from the angsty Every Little Thing about what Jim and Pam's thoughts after Casino Night, to some great "Jim grows a beard" smut in Black and White, Chocolate and Creme to her current "Pam has amnesia" WIP Restart and of course anything else she writes!
An "administrator emeritus", xoxoxo very much helped shape MTT into what it is today and additional wrote some great fics. And she wrote a lot of them, her 68 stories put her near the top of the Most Prolific Authors list. To start we recommend Beginnings and Moments (both JAMfic essentials), the funny A Mid-Diwali Night's Dream (in which Angela & Dwight and Kelly & Ryan switch partners, and not in the way you'd expect ), and Jellybean (a sweet and different kind of pregnancy fic).
Dundie All-Star has 7 stories to her name, mostly set during S4/5 based stories with Jim & Pam sweetly navigating their new romantic relationship. All 7 stories are worth a read, we suggest What Not To Wear - a different kind of crossover with Pam getting fashion advice, Philly Jam - an AU where Pam moves into Jim apartment building in the city, and Happiness (is..) - an Angela oneshot set around Moroccan Christmas.
While she got her start on the archive during Season 5, BigTuna returned after a long absence this year to finish up her College AU Sociology 101 then followed up with several excellent fics. She has a string of great steamy one-shots like Jim and Pam working on phyicial communication Nonverbal and Jim growing a beard in Whisker Burn, some great in-progress multichapters like Letters, Numbers, and the Spaces Between and the things that made us you and me and, perhaps most importantly of all, she finally gave the archive the "Nice Morning, too" it deserved in the excellent Stay and Fight. We think you'll love these and all her 15 stories!
February 2019 Author of the Month: Early AOTM Re-Feature!
We started our AOTM series way back in September of 2016 and one of our main goals with this series is to introduce readers to authors that they may not otherwise come across, either due to being overlooked during the peak archive years or posting during later seasons when activity was lower. And ironically enough, these authors may have been overlooked again when they were first featured as AOTMs! So we're going to take this month to refeature our first 4 Authors of the Month. You can head back to the 2nd post of this thread to read their full blurbs but here are the re-featured authors with links to two of their worth-while stories (though trust us, every story from all these authors is worth reading!):
She may have two usernames but iamapam1883/spaceorphan is one talented author, with 12 great stories to her names. Head to her iamapam1883 account to read 8 of those stories, including What the Cameras Don't Show, a fun oneshot with a great twist, One Week, the longest story at the archive (sadly incomplete but still well worth reading). Then head to spaceorphan for 4 more stories including fan favorite The Accident, a fun season 3 AU.
We had been planning on making @Coley the April AOTM for a while and today (4/5) is the perfect day to do it since it's the one year anniversary of when she started watching the show! Though she's written for MTT for less than a year she's already made a great impression with 8 great stories with amazing banter and humor and a hearty helping of steam, including Practical Magic, the Reader's choice in our Halloween contest, Always One Foot on the Ground, a great canon-divergent tail, and the featured Stilettos and Broken Bottles (Spinning Around in Circles), the wild summer of '06 that Pam and we readers deserved. We love all her stories and are waiting (impatiently) for more!
Stablergirl proved to be as much a painter as she is a writer, using her words to paint vivid scenes that truly take the reader there. Her catalog of 31 stories are full of MTT standards and classics, such as Pam and Jim bonding over tragedy in Father and Daughters. Women and Men., a canon divergent take on Boys and Girls in For what I am when I’m with you, and a darker take on Pam’s dilemma between Roy and Jim in How It Falls. In addition to these angsty epics, she showed great versatility with fics like fun X-Files/Office crossover Brought to you by the Letter X and “sexy for the sake of it” post-The Job fic Like a Carpenter that builds stairs.
And of course, no blurb about Stablergirl would be complete without mentioning I just wanted to be famous., a modern AU not quite like any other and an absolute must read at the MTT archive.
Vicodinfm is what we’ve dubbed an “overlooked” author, with their review and jellybean counts not reflecting the greatness of their stories, but you can change that! All 8 stories are relatively short, and offer great combos like sweet with a side of sexy (Four Times Jim kept his hands in his pockets), sexy with a bit of angst (The Seduction of Miss. Beesly), angst with a sweet finish (He’s not mine...He’s Herr’s). If you want more Dwangla in your life, they have some with Monkey and Possum, such as Angela comforting Pam during “Back From Vacation” in House Cat and Dwight proposing to Angela much, much sooner in As long as it’s not whorish. We hope you enjoy vicodinfm’s stories and give them many more deserved jelly beans!
Much like the month of August, a girl7 fanfic is sultry and slow-burning, focused on the feelings behind the longing looks and silences that Jim and Pam share. She often writes about the “missing scenes” between episodes or “what-ifs” after major JAM events in the early parts of the show, With 42 stories totally nearly a million words, you have no shortage of girl7 to read. You can start with one of her well-known classics like Nearing The Edge, Climbing as We Fall, or Away From The Cameras, then move into her more sleeper hits like All The Things That Keep Us Here , The Surface, or (Karen-centric) Unravel, and you’ll still have 36 fics to enjoy. Better get reading!

With a whooping 103 titles to her name, unfold has by far the most stories on the archive. But don't fear, most of them are well under 1000 words, and every one is beautifully written and full of emotion. Many are angsty, such as Jim attending Pam's wedding in Beer Cans to the Bumper or Jim & Pam having an affair in The Distance and the Damage. Some are sweet like The First Year, According to the Weather, smutty like sometimes i talk like a turnstyle, or sweet and smutty like Creaky Mattresses. If you enjoy some Karen in your fics, she’s included in several titles such as a little Jim/Karen fluff in outside the window is too far away, a realistic Jim and Karen break up fic in a sidewalk, a subway, walking to sunsets and Karen and Pam bonding in interesting ways in Give Me Your Hand and Let’s Jump Out a Window. And once you read those 8 fics, you still have 95 to go! So get reading!

NobleLandMermaid joined up during the great Season 3 of angst with a handful of fics such as collection of vignettes Five Times Karen Knew (It'd Never Work With Jim) and quintessential chatfic Expressions in Emoticons. After a multiple year hiatus she returned with fics like the fun and fluffy Five Times Jim and Pam Almost Got Busted, a look at the ups and downs of JAM Valentines day in More Than A Day, More Than A Word as well as imagining some plausible what ifs in June In Ten. Now with 18 fics, she's got a few irons in the fire with her long running role reversal Anywhere But Here, High School AU (sort of) First Loves and Second Chances and Jim & Pam thrust into the silence world of A Quiet Place in Safe and Sound so send her some jellybeans and bug her to keep writing!
