Yay, yay, yay!
Jim and Karen, over. Check.
Jim coming up with a plan to draw Pam back in. Check.
Pam starting to think that maybe Jim does have an interest in her. Check.
Yep, all the elements of a good JAM story!

Heehee Pam's letter was so flirty and hot! I love how Jim's reaction to it was to tease her about it, that's so them. =) Awww Jim's letters are the sweetest!! *happy sigh* This story is the best. ♥

I do this thing where I don't want a story to end and I don't want my eyes to wander too far ahead and give anything away - I just scroll the screen up a few lines at a time and keep everything hidden until I'm actually reading it. Doing that now. Have I mentioned how good this is?

I have taken my time off today (Memorial Day) to read several fics from start to finish, and can I just say that I cannot wait for you to update this one? I'm very intrigued - such a novel idea for a fic! I'm just anxious for them to finally come clean with each other.
Author's Response:
Thanks! What a great way to spend the holiday, huh? I've been doing some of the same. :) Glad you like it so far!

This story makes me heart get all full and all I wanna do is say "awwwwwwww" at my computer. I hope you update very very soon.
P.S. - I meant "my heart" not "me heart" because I'm not actually a pirate.
Author's Response: I thought about responding as a pirate, but it was too easy and too hard at the same time. (Too easy a joke to make, too hard to make it work right.) So instead I'll just say: Thanks for the review! I'm so glad you liked this chapter. :)

Love your story Azlin! I was so excited to get to read 12 at once, but now I have to wait! I hope you write quickly. I can't wait to see what happens w/ Pam & Jim. And I hope everything works out for Marsha too.
Author's Response: Oh yay! I'm always happy to get new readers! And I'm glad to see another Marsha fan! I'm starting to miss her, but she's going to be spending some time with her family for awhile, so it could be a bit before we see her again.

Not that I add much as far as english language critique I think this is a fantastic story and can't wait for the next installment. After chapters like this you can always appreciate that the story is moving in the right direction.
Author's Response: Yep. The story is finally moving along nicely and last time I checked there are only about 3 and a half (ish) chapters left. Probably. Sometimes it's kind of hard to tell. These things have a life of their own, you know? Thanks for the review!

Yay! I love this story and it seems like maybe (fingers-crossed) they're getting closer to being together. I love that you had him give her more letters to feel closer to her, well done.
Author's Response:
Well, you would think they're getting closer to being together, but what you don't know is that Marsha's about to come back from San Francisco and claim Jim as her own. She'll kidnap him and take him to Tahiti where she will force him to marry her and then ten years later when they make it back to Scranton. Pam will have been promoted to Jan's job and Karen will be pregnant with Roy's child.
Sorry, every once in awhile I have to indulge my bad!fic urges, just so they don't make it into the actual story. So thanks for letting me do it here in a safe place.

I love everything about this story and every time I read a Dream Girl letter I wish and hope that things like that actually do exist (and perhaps I just might have to make any future son I have do that, because it's just so cute!) Can't wait till Karen is gone for good and Pam can know for sure that her suspicions are right
Thanks for the great chapter!
Author's Response: Okay, embarrassing personal story about Azlin: I have actually written "Dream Guy" letters once or twice in my journal. And I've written letters to my kids who I may or may not ever have. I know I'm really weird, but whatever. I think I might make my son do this too! Maybe we can start a trend.

It is so funny -- I just drove home from the drive-in, and on the way home something made me think about your fic, and wonder what would happen with Karen (and thus got me hoping for an update.) And when I get home, here's an update! Yay!
Great chapter, just like all the rest. I loved Jim's thoughts on the lack of stuff in the box from Karen, and how even without Pam, they wouldn't have been right for each other.
It's funny, though. The girlfriend in Jim's "age 23" letter sounds a lot like Karen. Hmm.
Great update. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response:
Whoa! Maybe you've got ESP! Can you also move coat racks with your mind? Seriously, try it. I wouldn't be surprised if you could.
I'm so glad you liked this chapter. And there's more coming about Jim's girlfriend.

I already told you this, but I absolutely love Jim's dream girl letters in this chapter. They're so sweet and so perfectly Jim, and it's cool to see him growing up in them. I really, really hope we get to see one written after he met Pam. I don't know if that's gonna happen, but it would make me so very happy if it did. :)
Author's Response: Aw, thank you. And thanks for beta-ing! You're a-MAY-zing!!!

Ooooh, soon! We're almost there! Bye, Karen!
Author's Response: Let's all say it together: Hasta la vista, Karen! SEE YA SUCKA!!!!!! Whew. What a relief to get that out of my system. ;)
Date: May 26, 2007 07:08 pm Title: unless of course I was already there
I'm so glad to see more! Not that I would rush you or anything, because I wouldn't, but YAY!
I really liked this chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks Kev! Updating's been a little less frequent lately just because I moved back to school and no longer have long hours of receptionist work in which to write, but I really love this story and definitely will continue updating as quickly as possible.
Date: May 26, 2007 07:08 pm Title: unless of course I was already there
Oh, goodness Jim, what the heck are you doing? I'm just glad you'll be doing whatever it is without Karen around.
P.S. So glad you are updating again -- I love this story!
Author's Response:
Let's just say Jim's pranking skills definitely translate well into woo-your-dream-girl skills! Aw, I'm so glad you love it! ;)

Do you know how awesome it was when I got the email that this had been updated, and I didn't have to sigh and say "another day", but in fact I could click on the lin, and squeal with delight? Seriously. Awesome.
What is odd, is that pre-finale, I would have felt sorry for Karen. But now that there is JAM in the show, honestly, I don't care about karen anymore. I mean, it still sucks she is going to have to not be with Jim anymore, but there is JAM!! I don't have to imagine it in fanfic world anymore (of course, I have to wait until like September for new, but whatever)
Its so odd that people in college are engaged and married. I am in college and like, WTF... no way. Why am I going to weddings? What is up with that!!!
PAM! It is Jim! It totally is Jim! He wants you constantly, and he loves every part of you. Now that you both know that it is time for you to be happy. *nods* yep. happy.
Author's Response:
Do you know how awesome it was when I got the email that I'd gotten a review and then I clicked on the link and it was an EmilyHalpert review!!! Yay! So so soooo glad you're back!
These were probably some of my favorite Dream Girl letters to write, just because I'm 22 and they were so easy to relate to. I've been to a bunch of weddings this past year, but I remember really freaking out when my friends were getting married at 19!!! Scary stuff.
