Oh I remember that feeling. That "I don't know what's going on, but I just had the best time with this person" feeling. d84;a039;d84;a039; I married that guy.

Props for working James Baldwin into this. A lot of references popping up that are *very* appropriate for a fic about an English teacher.
I was wondering if/how Roy was going to end up playing into this fic. The idea of he and Jim having a preexisting distaste for each other having nothing to do with Pam is very intriguing!

I've been reading but haven't had a chance to review until now so this will encompass the last 3 chapters.
First off this story is just a delight. I admire so much the ability to put our beloved characters into different worlds and yet keep their essence the same. You do it well. The pranking from last 2 chapters was fun first with the playful Raphael then with Dwight.
I love how the characters are being introduced and their roles. Interesting choice with Roy. I was expecting her to still be involved with him but also happy for Jim she was not.
Love the little personal touches you sprinkle in too. Those are thing things that really make these stories come alive so keep it up.
I love the real lit influences, Hemmingway, Bradbury. How to Kill a Mockingbird. Hope to see more.
Author's Response: As an English Lit major myself, I can’t help but sprinkle some of those throughout, and I’m sure there will be more in upcoming chapters. :) I toyed with having Roy and Pam be together when she started teaching, but then I really just decided I wanted Jim and Pam together quicker and not to deal with that mess. 😂 But Roy still works there, so...stay tuned...
Thank you so much for your kind reviews, always! They mean so much!

First, my favorite high school English teacher had a couch and this brought me right back to sitting on. Second, this was my favorite chapter so far! So sweet, endearing, I LOVE it!
Author's Response: I’m so so glad you are loving it!! It really makes me so happy. :) Thank you!

Delightful once again. We finally get some background on Roy. Glad to see Pam's not falling for him again. She may be nervous about teaching, but she didn't let Roy stop her from getting a good education and she's not letting herself get dragged back into something with him. Good job Pam.
Especially with the way the relationship with Jim is progressing. I know we'd all love it if they just leapt into each other's arms, but the slow buildup works too. Though even before the cute scene in the parking lot, it's lovely to see other hopeful glimpses. Like the TMNT poster on her computer. She's clearly got feelings for him and it's wonderful. The hug and cheek kiss highlight that nicely.
Kinda looking forward to see if there's going to be any football coach/basketball coach rivalry going on. Not just due to sports, but due to a certain art teacher. Nice way to start setting that up.
Lovely update as per usual. This story is just a ton of fun.
Author's Response: I am enjoying writing Pam with a tiny bit more of a backbone. Going to school, not letting Roy decide her life’s path, etc. And don’t worry, the slow building of Jim and Pam’s relationship will pay off soon. :)

This is awesome, like consuming the best chocolate pudding. More chapters please!

WW, why did you almost kill me with talking about Roy?!
SO good. LOVED this chapter. Can’t wait to see creepy janitor Mose!
Author's Response: Thank you!! I’m really loving writing this story so I’m glad people are liking it. :)

Ugh WW, you kill me.
I loved this update and as soon as I read "Anderson" I got nervous, but I'm so thrilled Pam is single and ready to mingle with Jim.
Author's Response: I’m ready to write some of that “mingling” so stay tuned! :)

Ok you took me on such a roller coaster with Coach Anderson, and thankfully I am off the ride! So happy he’s out of the picture (as a legitimate interest at least, wouldn’t mind seeing some Jealous Jim). I’d love a more in depth tour of the art room, or maybe the basketball court. And I hope there’s more Michael soon because you knocked it out of the park with his character. Please keep updating and please don’t tell me how hypocritical that request is. ;)
Author's Response: I’ll update if you do. ;) Hahaha thank you!!
