so i'm not sure why, but i wasn't wild about ch 2. i really like your style but it wasn't what i expected as a follow up to that really interesting ch 1. but i'm faithful once again with this chapter! i looooved the recount of their first day together. this was super sad but so pam-esque: And I started to think I’d imagined the look in his eyes that day, that I was just flattering myself that he’d find a girl like me attractive. i loved your paragraph about what jim wants: to be married, to have kids, to have a lawn to mow (ok that was my way of paraphrasing). how he'll do anything to assure his future, even if it includes working somewhere he hates. i just think it's so true to jim. pam is what he wants, what he's always wanted, and he just wants to keep them rolling. can't wait to see what's next...
Author's Response: Yeah, I was only so-so satisfied with chap. 2 myself. I don't like leaning too much on episodes and that's why. But it seemed like a turning point for him in terms of what he needs to do, so.... anyway I'm glad you liked ch.3, I've had that floating around in my head and on my computer for a while now. Curious to see what you think of the end?...

This is such a fun and sweet story. I like that you filled in some of the blanks from the show. I can't wait to read more. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Morning Angel! It's done now...hope i did it justice.

OMG, Callisto - this is superb! You are getting even better at writing Jim and Pam, I think. I was thrilled to see a new chapter posted! The detail of the day they met is amazing and I can see Pam making up her engagement to hide what she felt for Jim. I was loving this chapter and then when I read this:
Jim looked me in the eye and said very deliberately, “Oh, I wouldn’t bother with that.”
...I almost choked on my raisin toast. I cannot wait to see what you post next!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I have had so much fun writing this story. I hope you enjoy how i wrapped it up!

“You forgot the beet farm.”
“Only after weeks of therapy."
^One of the best fanfic quotes ever. You have totally captured J&P. Can't wait until the ass-kicking! Write write write!
Author's Response: Thanks :D It's so hard to do justice to their brand of banter but it sure is fun trying. hard at work on the end of this little journey...maybe i'll get it finished by tomorrow night??

This story is very cute and I can imagine Jim and Pam acting this way. I like seeing into Pam's thoughts and understanding how frustrated she is. It's very funny.
Author's Response: Thanks! :D

this story is ass-kicking. forget jim and his proposals.
Ok no don't forget jim's proposal. Seriously. ;-)
I'm really enjoying every second of this and your voice for Jim is so spot on, I can totally see it happening. Well done well done!!
Author's Response: Thank you thank you! I am having so much fun writing this. Almost done... I'm thinking Pam's right about when he's going to do it. And by the way I am completely in love with your 'Famous' and hope you are feverishly working away on the next chapter, because that last particularly was so beautiful and it's one of the best things I've seen on this site!

EWWWW! I can't wait for the ass kicking ness!!!
You are killing me here!! Loved the first part:May 27th. The day we met.
That’s when he’s gonna do it.
Yeah…pretty sure"
that is so Pam!
Author's Response: I keep thinking how it would drive you crazy to know it's coming and be unable to think about anything else till it happens... Thanks for reading! I see big things coming up in this weekend trip.

hehehe. i'm really enjoying this. such a sneaky little Pam. I love the idea that she made that up b/c she was immediately attracted to Jim. I can totally understand that :) and I think the torture is just as much fun as being asked. at least since it's not me being tortured :) i can't wait for more updates!
Author's Response: :D Almost done! I can't imagine he'd keep waiting once he's gotten so many obvious positive signals from her....

Great chapter, Callisto. So believable. I love this: He was watching me, and he tilted his head to give me that smile, the first of so many of those smiles; his eyes were this brilliant green in the sun and his hair had fallen in his eyes and his expression was so…well, for a second I saw him, really saw him, and he took my breath away. Such a vivid visual. I can just picture it.
Author's Response: Ahhh thank you for that!! That was my favorite passage out of the whole piece. :D

Ooh, I love the story of the day they met!! You've woven together the little fragments Greg & Co have given us about Jim's first day just beautifully!
Loved this: it made me wonder how different he might be if he had a job he was really passionate about. Which reminds me of Office Olympics, in Pam's TH when she says "The thing about Jim, is when he's excited about something, like the Office Olympics, he gets really into it and he does a really great job. But the problem with Jim is that he works here, so that hardly ever happens."
Let's hope the ass-kicking is soon. I am much less patient than Pam is.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! And that comment she made during Olympics is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote that, so it's obvious she really believes in him. And it's almost done...I see something coming up in this trip.

Every chapter I love this story more and more. I really enjoyed the trip back to Jim's first day and the beginning of Jim and Pam. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks for all the feedback Jenn! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've had a lot of fun writing it. Next one will finish it up.

Yay!Yay! An ass kicking is a-comin'! Whohoo!!!! I love the history you've created here. I can absolutely see their first day having gone exactly the way you say it did here. And his saying she shouldn't paint her room....that made me shiver just like it did Pam! Nice work!
Author's Response: Can't believe I never responded to your awesome review. Not that you'll probably ever see this a month later, but I noticed you recommended one of my other stories on the boards, so...thanks so much! you're awesome. :)

Love this story, as I've said before. I wasn't expecting the flashbacks, but they were a great surprise and a welcome set up for what's coming next. Also, I really like your pranks. Or not so much pranks, but the way you have Jim suggest something that seems very real and in character, and is still fun without being antagonistic. Great job!
Author's Response: thanks! I actually wrote that whole scene a little while ago and thought it might be something she was thinking about while waiting for him to get on with it. Which is probably just my way of stalling while I figure out the ending...but I think I've got a handle on it now. Thanks for sticking with me!

LOL the entire end part about painting the room not being necessary was great.
You certainly have a knack for building up the tension! Everything you have written here is so believable.
And I think for the first time ever I can say with complete honesty I'm looking forward to having my ass kicked! :)
