I love that you explore the exquisite awkwardness of Pam having to admit her relationship with Roy to Karen - it's fun to see someone realize the potential of that line. Especially when paired with Karen telling Pam how great Jim is... if it makes you feel better, Pam, I'm not sure Jim's listening skills are as terrific as she thinks they are.
And taking that blooper seriously is a fun new approach to a Benihana Christmas story. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Author's Response:
Pam's facial expression in that scene was just dying to be told in fic form. You're right about Jim listening to Karen. It's more along the lines he's zoned out while she goes on. Glad you liked the approach to the blooper. It was a lot of fun to write this one. Glad to see you made your way here.

Sorry I fell so behind, but this was so stinkin’ cute! Moving Ryan to the annex is so classic. I’m glad you were able to incorporate it. Also, I love the way you wrote Pam and Jim. Benihana fics are the best and this definitely didn’t disappoint. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks. I figured that moving Ryan in with Kelly would be a good way to deal with that whole situation. Which also means it's easier for Jim to ignore Karen since he's not looking her way anymore. It was a lot of fun to write Jim and Pam getting back to being their normal selves. I'm glad you enjoyed this so much. It was a lot of fun to write. Hope to see you on my next story.

I come here at night when I’m putting my daughter to bed and I’m always happy to see updates from you! This time...two?! How exciting! Loved how you handled the Karen/Ryan stuff and threw in some back story on Kelly. While I love stories that show Pam and Jim finding their way to each other I also love reading stories that get them together early on...the build up and repair of their relationship is fun to read and you’re doing a great job of making it interesting while adding in those cliffhangers! Looking forward to the next update!!
Author's Response: Aww, thank you. Jim and Pam getting back together has been done so many times it can be a challenge to come up with something that is unique by this point. I'm very glad to hear that you're finding my stories compelling. Thanks for the review, I'm very glad you're enjoying this tale.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but I love this so much! That has to be my all time favorite blooper and I always kind of hoped someone would write a fic about it. I especially love your writing style and I'm really excited for the rest of this! :)
Author's Response: Well thank you. I'm honored you decided this was worthy of a comment. It's a great blooper and is just made for an AU. It'll be fun to explore that's for sure.

Bahahaha!! I was hoping you meant THAT blooper. What a reaction!! I suspected what was coming but still laughed out loud when I read “THUMP”! Nice way to cut the tension for sure and I’m excited to see where you take this!
Author's Response: Thanks. It'll be fun to explore this one to be sure.

What?! I've never seen that part of the blooper reel. Where have I been all these time?!
Author's Response: Go to the MTT instagram page and scroll down a bit. Last Christmas they rated all the Christmas episodes in terms of JAM-ness. They added an "alternative ending" to Benihana Christmas which became the inspiration for this fic.

Hey what?? Lol, I'm actually rereading the last part to make sure I read that right. Wow, amazing start!
Author's Response: The part where Jim faints you mean? Yeah, it was a fun moment on the blooper reel that just begged to be turned into a fic. Glad to start bringing it to life.

What a great use of that blooper! And the Jack Ryan bit? Perfect!
Author's Response: I was hoping someone would catch the Jack Ryan bit there. I mean how could I not add it in? It's like a given! Thanks for the review.

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I have been dying for someone to take that blooper and turn it into magic and here we are. I’m so excited to see where you go with it. I can’t express how overjoyed I am that this is happening. Also, anytime is a good time for a Christmas fic. Did I mention that I am very, very happy that you’re writing this...
Author's Response: You know, you may have mentioned it once or twice. :) Granted I'm changing it up a bit, since Dwight deserves to be waiting for his helicopter after all. However this should be fun. Thanks for the support.

Hee. Nothing wrong with a good old standard choice for a place to go AU, but I have to say I love the choice of exactly when and how. Poor Jim, but I think he'll recover. Hope Pam doesn't run embarrassedly into the night too quickly.
Author's Response: Yeah that blooper reel shot is just to good to not turn into a fic. As for what happens next? Well, we'll just have to have some fun now won't we? Thanks for the review.
