There is a kind of art to them. (Jim and Pam and traditional glassblowing.)This is gorgeous. I was torn between adoration and guilty jealousy at the thought that I will never be able to pen something so...thoughtful. You should be proud.
I love Ryan and I love Kelly, and I love that whatever will happen between them in Season 4 will be great. I also love this little piece, his perspective on their relationship is facinating.
Author's Response: Thank you! After I saw the Producer's Cut of Branch Closing, I couldn't get their weird dynamic out of my head. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes you just have to try new things. A Pam/Ryan story that is more about Pam/Jim than you would think.
That? Rocked. Seriously, one of the best I have read. And it also apparently turned me into a squeeing thirteen year old. Ryan/Pam never really interested me all that much, and probably still won't, but that was beautiful. The pairing and motives behind it were well thought out and believable, and other than Jim in the first part, the characters all stayed canon. I really enjoyed it, and wished I read it sooner.

Still one of my favorites. BeigeMan is my hero.
Author's Response:
I just realized I never responded to this review! I'm so sorry!
Thanks so much for reading this and reviewing way back when!
Pam hates weddings (and organza). “I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.
Gorgeous as usual. I really can't wait to see what you have up your sleave next.
Author's Response: thank you. hopefully I'll have a new chapter by the middle of next week.
A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event. Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).
I have suck a soft spot for Careless Whisper, its sad. The saxophone and the overly dramatic lyrics get me every time, quite like this fic (without the saxophone). This is great, keep writing!
Author's Response:
Heh - listen, I'm the queen of liking some seriously sappy 80's music, and...yeah, Careless Whisper's over the top and angsty, but I still think it's beautiful. :o) I mock it, so as to protect it...and in that way, I honor it. [/Dwight] LOL
Thanks so much for the review!
Maybe if all fics were terrible and didn't make me want more, I'd be happier. Without the exquisite torture of knowing that what ever you have up your sleeve will be awesome, I would be a much more agreeable person.
Author's Response: Okay this review? Made me laugh right out loud. :o) Thank you so much!
God, I think my heart broke right along with Jim's. Poor sexy heartbroken Jim...I'm sure you'll make this right. You'll make it right, right?
Author's Response:
Sexy, heartbroken Jim is the prettiest of all the Jims, isn't he? :O) And yes, I will find a way to make this right -- ur, in a manner of speaking, heh.
Thanks so much for reviewing so quickly! (It's always beyond unnerving to post a new chapter and hear the crickets, you know? Hee.)
Someone is dead in The Office, and everyone is a suspect.
This is the point that I needlessly tell you I am hooked to this damn thing. Its sort of ridiculous, I've got all these speculations and posible suspects, and I can't wait to find out what next!
Maybe I am still stuck on Casino Night, hoping that Season 3 was all a dream (a rather nice dream at the end, though) but this fic is just another great version of what happened.

A few fuzzy, fluffy one-shots that form a loosely connected story. Based around the idea of this quote by Germaine Greer:
"The essence of pleasure is spontaneity."
The Clock Of Tackiness is resting lovingly in my parents living room right now, and I couldn't be prouder. The got it on their honeymoon hundreds of years ago. Great story!
haha! Wonderful! Truth is (shh!) I love those clocks. There's one at my mom's house I completely intend on inheriting one day. :-)
Thanks for reading!!
When reading this chap. I imagined this elaborate crossover between Office and the wonderfully dramatic and over-edited Hell's Kitchen ( a show on Fox where the winner gets a restaurant in Red Rock Resort). Dwight and Ramsay would have a face off.....it would be awesome. And Michael would make everyone call him chef. So many possibilities.
Author's Response: LOL - that would be awesome! (I'm a HK fan, too.) Maybe you've stumbled upon YOUR fanfic challenge?? :-)
Bad!fic. Sort of The Office-Dorafied.
Dwight goes on a mission for Michael… because his thingy is gone!!!
Who knew the office was such a dangerous place and requires trusty backpack to help save the day!Having watched too many episodes of Dora for my liking (seriously, all I could hear in my head while reading this was "Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Dora!") I found this hilarious, but I am a sucker for OnAMission!Dwight.
Ah, I have learned to love Dora and all kids shows. They get into your head and burrow there. Plus, it means, 20-30 minutes where the kids are crazy.
Thanks for the review
Sadly (or not?) this does sort of read like a Bad!Fic. But Bad!Fics hold a special place in my heart to (a small dark place that likes to tease the other brighter cuter ones) and it was an interesting read. The best part was Hudson's Pretzel Wagon, by far. All I ever wanted was Stanley to be happy...
I've admitted that this is probably the worst thing I've ever written, and it wasn't intended as a Bad!Fic but as more of a OhMyGodMyBrainHasBrokenAndINeedHelp!Fic.
The world needs more Stanley. And every day should be Pretzel Day.
Karen, Jim, Kelly, and Dwight POV during the finale, especially the end. A character study of sorts. Some implications of Jim/Pam, Kelly/Ryan and onesided Karen/Jim.
I think you captured the four characters beautifully. Especially Jim, who we all asumed went on a whirl wind trip to Scranton to get the girl after the yogurt lid fell out, but the way you described it sounded a lot more realistically.. The Karen portion of this was, in my opinion very beautiful. For a character that was never really fully developed, I think you captured what little we can asume about her well. And, well, any thing talking about Dwight as a child is going to rock, right?
Author's Response:
Well you've got to wonder what happened to him then that made him who is is now ;) You know in movies, they always cut straight from the hero taking off to get the girl, a quick few flashes with compelling music and then, poof, he's there. I've always wondered what he/she's thinking in that time. Karen is, sadly, a grossly under-developed character in my opinion, and I wish they'd make her more than just Jim's season three girlfriend.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Completely agree. Kandy! Its perfect. I'd love another piece!
A series of stories based around the lyrics to my favorite John Mayer songs.
Really just the metal picture of Jim in bed did it for me, but other than that it was lovely. I love John Mayer, and this song. The whole Continuum album always seemed to me like it was written for the last part of 2nd season and the whole of 3rd. (Dreaming with a Broken heart always seemed like it was written for Jim). Anyway, use any Mayer song and I'll be sure to read.
