Bio:
I've fallen hopelessly, terribly, all-encompassingly headfirst into the world of JAM fanfiction. I never thought I'd be as obsessed as I have been over the past few months (buying the Special Edition DVDs, reading fanfiction, thinking about fanfiction, contemplating writing fanfiction, racing home from work to read fanfiction, reading fanfiction at work, seriously considering paying $200 for signed Dunder-Mifflin merchandise, etc), but I'm thrilled about the prospect of it all.

I'd love to beta a story! Also, there should be an inconspicuous skin that makes it look like I'm doing work instead of on MTT... the Jim+Pam kissing banner is sweet, but won't hack it at work anymore.

One look...across a crowded room? Wonderful. Terrific. Perfect. What the love songs failed to mention, however, was what you were supposed to do, when you saw that girl, the one you wanted, and she belonged to somebody else. How come the love songs didn’t tell you that?

good point. what are you supposed to do? prank the nearest deskmate?

Summary: Jim Halpert promised Pam something last Thanksgiving and he means to live up to that promise, even if the past few weeks has been hard on both of them. But sometimes, the best laid plans even have a way of suprising you.

"Jim, bonerless, was looking through the kitchen cupboards. Creed had been 72% sure that he had put the ‘stuff’ in one of the kitchen cupboards."

sometimes i wish episodes of the office were narrated by ron howard (a la arrested development), just so we could hear lines like these.

"And then they’re sharing a can of coke, sipping from two separate plastic cups. And even though they’re talking, they haven’t broken the real silence, the one that makes them hurt.

But she almost does.

She almost tells him that he doesn’t have to say anything at all, because she knows.

But then he’s talking about Dwight peeing in a cup and the moment doesn’t seem right."

this was one of the most beautiful passages i've read in a long time. i love the way you juxtapose what pam says versus what she was thinking that whole time - we know she's smart and capable - but so slow...so ridiculously, agonizingly, fanfic-inspiringly slow at deciding what to do next, to the point where it's almost too late. you captured it beautifully :) thank you!

i love this chapter and marsha's abrupt realization that she should act in her own life as well as in jim+pam's. hopefully it works out for her...and, judging by the fact that there are 9 more chapters, there is more to read! can't wait!

Author's Response: Thanks for your review! It's so fun to have new readers enjoying an old story. Incidentally, your review inspired me to get back to work on the last chapter, so thanks for that! Hope you liked the rest of the story. I should be updating it in the next week or so, so keep an eye out! Thanks again!

the last section puts a gut-wrenchingly poignant ending to pam's unhappiness. sad, but well-deserved.

Summary: Past Featured Story

 

Pam and Jim decide to get it out of their system...Literally. This idea just wouldn't get out of head, especially after all the fight fics, I figure there has to be another way to get rid of the sexual tension- why not actual 'casual' sex. Oh and it's going to really backfire. P.S. This is way fluffier than my usual stuff AND almost finished too. So there's that.

I love this line:
He really wants to be able to form words right now, but all the blood in his brain has decided to take a vacation in the south.

when all is said and done, michael really is great at customer service (i.e. business deals over awesome blossoms). where would the office team be without his "leadership"? bored and unmotivated? lackluster in their adventures and inspirations? the final paragraph was a cute touch. chapter 8 was my favorite :)

Summary: Past Featured Story

"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."

Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.

like so many other readers, i waited so long for this update and gritted my teeth when i saw it listed in the 'new' stories pile. and, as i braced myself for the worst, i was so pleasantly surprised. i really like the revelation of what jim's email contained. nice job...it must have been an impossible chapter to write.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Member's Choice - “My father died, so I’ll need a few days.” She explained in an unaffected sounding voice that surprised even herself. The three other parties in the room were stunned into silence. Jim spoke first. “Jesus, Pam…” She stood with her back to him and addressed Michael as if Jim had not made a sound…as if Jim did not exist. It was the only way.

i adore the diction and introduction in this chapter...it explains a lot about why pam is stays with roy for ten years, and why she feels guilty but curious about a relationship with jim.

Author's Response: Thank you! This chapter was one of the things that started humming in my mind when I was away from my computer and I liked the feel of the words so much that I scribbled them down by hand.  Glad you enjoyed it.

While MTT was down for a brief time one night, I wrote a couple 55 word fics in the TWOP thread about Jim and Pam reading fanfic. I will likely continue this as a long running series, referencing my favorite stories and also newer stories as they come about.

Summary:

This is an idea I've had for a long time. It is inspired by the very end of the Six Feet Under series finale (hence the title), and it seems that the 55 word style would be perfect for it. Each chapter will focus on a different Office character. 20 chapters are planned.

I do not own these characters, and would not do this to them if I did. No copyright infringement intended.
