Awww young Pam and Jim! I'm just having a chance to read this now, and it's lovely! Continuing...
Author's Response: There is something charming about any version of young Pam and Jim, isn't there?

Ohmygoodness!!! Jim and Pam met before! Not only that, but they kissed!! I can't wait to see why Pam didn't show up.
You are so very good at writing the dog-days-of-summer atmosphere that I love, especially when it comes to Jim and Pam.
Author's Response: Thank you! It was a lot of fun to write this version of young Jim and Pam. So glad you enjoyed it.

And now I think this is the story you were telling me about... Am I correct?
Author's Response: Shoot, I don't recall. I'm sorry!

OH MY GOSH! That made me so deliriously happy that their first kiss was with each other. Daring Jim by the way, but I like it. Great job, and this was the best chapter ever. I just love stories where they met in the past and didn't know it. KEEP GOING!
Author's Response: Daring Jim, indeed. Like I said in my end notes on the last chapter, I actually had a guy pull that move on me, looking at a painting in a hallway when I was 16.
Confession time: the story idea came when, after watching several hours of Office DVDs, I had a dream (NOT REAL!!) that two certain actors who shall remain nameless (wink wink) were on a talk show together and came to the realization that they'd shared a similar experience to the one young Jim and Pam shared. Obviously writing a story like that would be inappropriate, but the idea was fun, so I translated the scenario to the characters. I'm glad you like how it's going. Thanks as always for sharing thoughts; it's a pleasure to hear from you.

Oh my goodness! How cute! How did they not know each other?! Can't wait to read more
Author's Response: I know, I thought about that too. But truthfully they only spent about 5 minutes together as teenagers. I don't think I'd recognize a lot of the people I met (and yes, kissed) as a teenager if they punched me in the face. So hopefully it works. Good question, though. Thank you for writing!

This was sweet, ivy. I found it even more touching knowing the personal details you put into it. So sorry about your aunt. We lost my MIL to breast cancer. As a result, I take part in the Race for the Cure each Mother's Day. It's a good time to think about her and others. Love that Pam's grandfather calls her "Georgia"--very cute :)
Author's Response: Good for you, Nan. I wasn't close with my aunt, so her death didn't really affect me terribly, though I find myself wishing I'd gotten to know her better as time passes (and as death becomes a more frequent part of life as I get older). Thanks so much for reading.

You do amazing young Jim and Pam, I am so happy that the end of Smelden and the Muffin, doesn't mean the end of your young Jim and Pam.
Now will you please explain why Pam was a no-show at the 1992 bonfire?
Author's Response: Yes'm.
Young Pam and Jim are a lot of fun, both to write and to read. And speaking of read, anyone know where OnlyOneKitchen is? Let's get on with The Boy Next Door!!
Thanks for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I'll explain why Pam was a no show.

Okay so didn't see that coming, that was freaking awesome. I love it. She never showed up, poor Jim aw ;)
You said this was less dialouge than you usually used, but it really worked =)
Update like right now :)
Author's Response: Well, right after, she met this really cute boy with glasses and hair parted down the middle who seduced her with sexy talk about beets.
So glad you enjoyed it!
