Sadness is inevitable when you're drunk, alone, and wearing your nicest dress.

That's just one of the lines I wanted to quote back to you - so good :) And also, the hotness, but I really like your use of language in this one. Very nice, Paper Jam ;)



Author's Response: Thank you so much, nomadshan!

Oh, unfold, Jim's emotional disconnect here is fantastic - the non-goodbye to Pam, the hanging with Ben, the dinner with Karen.

And the details - the contents of his pockets on Casino Night?

LOVE.

I like that you used Harry/Sally in this - perfect impetus!



Author's Response: I've always loved the last part of that Harry/Sally quote, and then the whole thing just fit so nicely. I'm very hopeful that Pam will find her resolve so we can all get some resolution! (Thanks!)

Nice - just enough to intrigue us!

Suggestion: consider formatting why, how, Pam, and kiss in italics to parallel your second paragraph stylistically.



Author's Response: Thanks for the suggestion...I will do that!

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 8

Some really nice parallels in these! Nice way to show that, as close as they were before, and as intimate the confession, they feel a bit like strangers now.

Talking again means not saying what he wants to say.

Wow. I hope I'm the 37th person to quote that line, because it's excellent.

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 9
Date: January 03, 2007 Title: Chapter 4: The Gift

I really like how you've found similar events across seasons - it gives canon even more of an arc - and more depth (for a TV comedy that already has more depth than any other comedy on now).

Brava, 69 cups of noodles!

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 9
Date: January 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: The Persuasion

Wow, you're finding really good parallels in these.

But maybe she wants to be bigger than that. Better than that. Not only for him, but for herself, too.

I'm convinced that Pam stepping back, being the bigger person, and becoming even more herself, is what will bring them together. You've captured the first hint of that here.

Loving these, 69 cups!

Summary:

Per nomadshan's planting the irresistible notion in my head of writing an Out of Control Jim story (along with encouragement from other posters at TWoP - you know who you are).... This is an exploration of what could happen if (when?) Jim and Pam were pushed to the point of losing all control.

So glad Pam articulated her feelings by the end here. There've been a few fics involving Phyllis's wedding, and I think we'll see that on the show this spring. It'll be interesting to see if romantic things happen then :)

And you sneaky girl, with your supply closet shenanigans!

I really like how you're dealing with Pam and Roy in this one. After 9-10 years, they would be friends on some level. The end of Back From Vacation made me grin, because I would love to see them interact as friends on the show. You've made good steps toward that here, so thanks!

and two unmarked, closed doors on either side of them

And that's where my ears perked up and I went, "Ooo, what was that now?"

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 8

Nice - I'm interested to see where you take this. Love that he's almost trying to drown out the noise of Pam's words with frantic sex (yes, please?).

Some (hopefully) constructive criticism: you have Jim feeling the beginnings of rage for the first time in 2 different paragraphs (3 + 10) and settings. Also, maybe introduce those feelings as anger, and let them build to rage.

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 8
Date: January 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Nice - the displacement of emotion, and yet an undeniable attraction to Roy. How tough to love one person and not be able to break cleanly free of the last one. Good dialogue here, too.

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 8
Date: January 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Pam, Pam, articulate! So close...

The emotions here are good - anger, disgust, contempt, disbelief. I like Jim willfully not hurrying to please her. And yay for brave Pam, and for her not allowing revenge sex.

I wonder where this will go?

And also: Fangirl!Shan thanks you for Teh Scruff. Damn.

Reviewer: nomadshan Signed 8

Great Karen voice here.

Funny story: When I read Karen's last line, I said, "Yeah, nice analogy!" then I was all, "Whoa, the Incredible Hulk is totally Jekyll + Hyde!"

OK, maybe only funny to me.

So... if Jim's free, and Pam's free... hmmm...  ;)

And then (please oh please) there's a sound off to the side, and the camera pans to the doorway (à la Jim's talking head in Halloween) and he's there. He tilts his head, and for a moment we don't know if he's silently saying, "Thank you" or "What the hell are you doing to me?" but then he holds his hands out to her and she goes to him and a seismic squee results.

(please?)  ;)



Author's Response: If it were in my power to make this happen, shan, you know it would be done! "Seismic squee" may be the name of my next album (hee).

I like how you point out that they're just friends now, but that doesn't come close to what they were before, which couldn't technically be more than friends because of her engagement. Whew.

Looking forward to your next chapter... :)

hee!  Thanks Shan.  I figured it was about time.

First - great song, and it's surprising how each line fits the character you paired it with. Nice insights here, and the final lines of both Michael's and Jan's are LOL funny (as they should be).  :)

Author's Response: I know, I was surprised, too. But I heard the song after BfV and each line just seemed to click. This was supposed to be just Jan/Michael. Then all these other characters claimed some lyrics and I couldn't resist. Thanks for reading, shan!

Um, awesome?  I've been wanting to read your stuff for a while, and I'm really into Dark!Office right now, so I was psyched that you'd written some.  I especially like this:

That is our daily little moment when she is totally oblivious to me and I am totally hyper-aware that she is going to be sucking my dick for the next five minutes and then she's going to look up and say "I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!" Yeah.

Yeah.
