Well, if I could magically improve your midterm score, I would. Suffice it to say, I am absolutely enthralled by this story. The Christmas prank was one of my favorite moments last year, and the way you've taken the story is totally believable.
Love how they started out so tentative, and now they're getting a little braver with each other. Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks! As it turns out, I did just fine on that midterm. I finally updated, if you're interested :)

Please post again soon! I'm really really enjoying your stuff (TWSS).
Love the line about how her walls are leopard print - hilarious!
Author's Response: Thank you! I've finally updated, if you're still interested. And there's more about the leopard print walls :)

That was so great! I love the phone call with Karen and I love Pam sticking herself out there after that. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! Every now and then Pam gets to be the brave one :)

i like it. so angsty.
Author's Response: Glad you like! More angst coming up!

Oh, holy carp! I actually gasped when Jim took Pam's necklace charm in his hand. Aieee! I sense that Jim is crossing a line, and I cannot wait to see where this goes!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked that! It was a total last minute addition. The next chapter will be sort of explosive, I think :)

Amazing chapter!! Please post more soon! I bombed a midterm today too, but getting home and reading this made me feel better! lol
Author's Response: Oh, I feel your pain on the midterm thing and I'm glad I could help :)

I'm glad to see lots of stories updated. But the ones that I'm actually hooked on are few and far between....and this one has it's hooks in me. Can't wait to see what happens when they get back to her place - great last lines. It's hard to write that kind of tension and make it believable and in character, so bravo!
Author's Response: Oh I'm so glad you're hooked! And you would not believe how much trouble I had ending this chapter! One draft was super angsty and the next draft somehow became fluff city. So I was trying to find a happy medium, but instead i just went with steamy, which is fun too :)
Date: October 17, 2007 02:46 pm Title: Rising Action
aw I was halfway done reading the e-mail you sent and then I see you updated! Silies :) Oh well, I do love it!!
And this Tim Galpert guy sounds like quite the character! Haha I can see Jim doing taht to Andy. And Andy with crazy hair and piercings? That's hilarious!
And i like the addition of the Karen call.
we need to try out that new sofa
TWSS.
Oooooooh and I cant' wait to see what happens on Pam's house! Gah. Well. Sory about your midterm :( Tests are NO fun my friend. If it makes you feel better, I have to write 15 lesson plans for next week. Lame. Let's say 'boo school, yay office fic'! That's what I say.
Love love love it and don't feel like you can't write amazing stuff b/c you do!!!!!!!!!! Trust me :) I know :) haaha
Author's Response:
awww! I suck! Sorry, I just got out of that midterm and I was like, I need to just post this thing and get it out of my head. lol. Plus, you were the person to read my very first draft of ch.3, so I felt like you already did a lot :)
Lesson plans. They were the bane of my existence when I first started writing them, and now they flow from the fingertips like nothin'. You'll get super good at it.
I have a bunch of random ideas for chapter 4, so you can expect an email tomorrowish :)

Oh, how I love to go back to the angst, knowing now that it can end happy. PLEASE have them talk and end happy!!
Author's Response: They will do a lot more talking in the next couple of chapters :) I know I should probably keep you in suspense, but I'll just tell you that I fully intend on giving this one a happy ending!

Can't wait can't wait, chapter three! Are fuzzy navels a real drink? Wait, don't tell me, I want to believe in them. And the dialogue is so nicely done. And they should probably talk sometime, no matter how each avoids it- ah, leave it to Dwight to bring people together, that's one of my favorite devices ever. In short: amazing, particularly the impersonating a crisis counselor=felony bit. Gold.
Author's Response:
Thanks Ardens! Dwight is pretty much the best plot device in existence, and the crisis counselor thing was soooo fun to write.
Oh, and fuzzy navels are real drinks. It's peach schnaps, orange juice, and sometimes people add a splash of vodka. Deeeelicious. But very girly :)

i always love your fics...this is no exception.
Author's Response: Awww, thanks Donnelly!

The "Jim is not your friend" line just about killed me. Oh Season 3. You have scarred me forever.
I can see already your version will be easier to stomach so I can't wait to see what else you have in store.
Hope your chapter cooperates soon. Mostly 'cause I'm impatient like that. ;)
Author's Response:
Oh no! I scarred you! My bad. Hee!
Chapter 3 is only semi-cooperating, but hopefully if I don't have it up by tomorrow, it'll be up on Wednesday :)

Start singin'! This is so much fun! I love Jim squealing the tires and Pam giving him a hard time. Perfect banter.
Author's Response: Lalalaaaaa! Glad you liked it Sweetpea! Their banter is so much fun to write.

Well as long as you'll burst out into joyful song, I guess I'll leave a review....
But only because of a good song. Like ode to joy perhaps? haha. JK.
So. You already know how much I heart this and all that jazz so really I'm just reiterating the fact that you pretty much just rock at life and I love this story and I can't wait for more (even tho I feel special and have read more than others..... still!)
So to recap a) I'm lame b) You rock. c) can't wait for more :)
/end rambling.
Author's Response: Oh, WBJ, you rock. You should feel special :) Thanks for being awesome!

I'm freakishly excited for the next chapter. It's been awhile since I've been this into a fic. Loving the concept, loving the writing.
Author's Response: Oh yay! I'm freakishly excited that you're freakishly excited!
Date: October 15, 2007 08:09 am Title: The Chase
Hmm. What kind of joyful song? Because I don't want you to sponaneously burst into It's a Small World. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Anyways, this is a great story with nice long chapters that do not feel incomplete when you get to the end. I enjoy how you are writing classic Jim and Pam in their perpetual circle of love, denial, and hope. I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response:
What a succinct way to sum up the Jam cycle! Yes, we're entering the denial phase now, but by chapter four I think we'll be in Phase Hope. And then chapter five, well, you know...
As for my song, I just went to see Across the Universe, so I'm picking from a medley of happy Beatles songs! Right now it's "It Won't Be Long." Thank you for your concern though :)

I can't wait until the next chapterr [:
i'm being left in suspense right now.
gee. thanksss.
hahaa [x
just kiddingg.
great work so far !
Author's Response: Heh. Thanks! I'm actually in suspense right now too because I'm not quite sure what is going to happen in chapter three...

Thanks for giving me such a lovely way to procrastinate from work on Monday morning, lol.
Angst works for me when it's not melodramatic, but written with believable character voices and in the show's tone (i.e., with a bit of comic relief)...and this does all that and more. The Dwight encounter was excellent and Jim being conflicted about being with Pam, yet desperate for it not to end comes across perfectly. Really looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
Author's Response:
I will support procrastination in any way I can. I am very committed to that cause. That and supporting the rabid.
Thanks for your comments. I always really try to balance my angst with humor, so I'm glad you liked it!

So good and so believable and so exactly what I need on a Monday morning.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! Glad I could help out on a gross Monday morning!

This is really good. I especially liked the joke about Creed, and Dwight's "Pam, Jim is not your best friend. You hardly even talk" and the ensuing silence. It's awesome, that you had Dwight call Pam on the 'best friend' thing.
For joyful song, might I recommend "Ode to Joy"?
Author's Response:
Thanks TLK! The Creed joke was a last minute addition, so I'm glad it works :)
*skips away singing "Ode to Joy"*

I really like where this is going for several reasons. First, although I love happy JAM I totally have a thing for the angst and you do it so, so good. Second, there wasn't that much ABC fic so I'm excited for this. Cannot wait for more!!
Author's Response: Aww, thanks kells! I was sitting here like, "What the heck is ABC fic?" I'm slooooooow...
