Five different scenarios in which our man finds out Pam is pregnant.the first two were so sad and at that point i wasn't sure if i wanted to read this anymore because sometimes i just can't handle that :[ but now i've reached the end and i'm so glad i kept reading because this one was perfect. i'm also really glad you put the first two in there because it was interesting to explore those options.
10 i loved it :]
i was SO sad at first because they were broken up and that broke my heart! but they were cute and awkward and i loved how you got them back together. this was really great :]
This will just be a series of short vignettes about Jim and Pam getting to know one another as they start their adventure into true coupledom. Embarrassing moments, phobias, guilty pleasures....the truth comes out.
10 i just discovered this story and i would like you to know how much i ADORE it. especially this chapter! drunk!jim is so cute and especially them together. it's so sweet and i love them. i really miss jam, and this makes things a little better :]
A series of vignettes inspired by random song clips from the iPod. No chronological order, so sit tight. It might be a bumpy ride through time.spa nights are my favorite. i love when i put aside time to actually shave my legs or put on a face mask.
p.s. this was all kinds of hot.
Author's Response: Old Pam? Probably never did the spa thing. FNB? Without a doubt! She's all kinds of glowy and shiny and stuff and I know part of it is due to being Halpert-ized, but. Glad you liked this little puff of steam.
& this last one is still my favorite. it's so sweet & i love all the little things that make them love each other. i miss them so much and this makes things a little better.
Author's Response: I can't thank you enough for doing this. You know, on average, about 1-2% of story readers leave a review. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, but it's true. Over time, the percentage goes down from there, because I'm sure folks think that because the story isn't current, a review of it is unnecessary or just kind of dumb. But it's so not. If anything, it means more. It's like, "hey, I just found this (or in your case, even more awesome because you CAME BACK to it!) and I really like it." So gratifying. Thank you so, so much for this, Sunday, and I hope to see you soon! :-*
awwwwww, first fight. (but it was hardly a fight.) and you already know how i feel about this whole story, so i think that's about all i have to say :]
Author's Response: This is a chapter that just wouldn't leave me alone and I'm not 100% happy with it, but it had it's moments. You're so sweet to have done this, Sunday.
BAGUETTE. haha, i love it!
Author's Response: Who doesn't love French bread, right? Thank you so much!!
okay first of all, ahahaha depends. oh how their grocery store antics make me laugh!
"Please say yes. I spent a whole quarter on this thing."
another superb line & another fantastic little story. (yay! they're engaged. now if only they'd get it together on the show!!)
Author's Response: They're not there yet, but...RING IN THE POCKET AT ALL TIMES!!! And a real one, not a plastic fake one, either! What a glorious day that's going to be and I'm really hoping we get to see it. I think we will - they wouldn't have teased us like that with no intention of delivering, right?
once again, i LOVE these sweet little moments. i was all excited for a second cause i was think it'd be their wedding but then i was like, oh no what if he's late! and then of course, he was on time and waiting for her. i know i keep showering this with compliments, but i do love these little moments and i love that they correspond with songs. & i love reading anything you write.
Author's Response: Are you apologizing for doing this? I really think that's unnecessary! I can't tell you how wonderful it is and I appreciate it so much.
awwwww, fluffy banter. that just makes me melt.
and once again, the last line? my favorite :]
Author's Response:
Love this one, too. Thank you!!
"Yes you do and then I have a full day planned. It's after 11:00, Beesly. Jesus, I had to make the coffee and do the crossword myself."
i love that they have a routine & that hungover!pam failed in her duties. oh, and drunk!jim and drunk!pam when the other one is sober? my fave stories. they're so adorable when the other one is drunk.
Author's Response: Sunday, I am praying to Thor himself that we get to see them both drunk, together, before too long. How adorable and funny would that be?
i can SO imagine jim sneakily adding things to the grocery list. and pam is in the grocery store getting napkins and checks them off and goes to the next item and is like, "astroglide? JIM!" and him just saying, "whoops." and making a classic jim face.
oh and jim half-naked on a ladder dancing and singing along? please tell me where i can buy my own.
Author's Response: Dude, half-naked Jims have been on backorder for a long, long time! I have a bet with LoveFool that we're going to see a shirtless Jim by the end of season 4 (and I don't even care about winning, because if it happens, WE ALL WIN), but until then, this is the image I have in my mind! See, now we know that Jim can't even hook up TiVo, so he probably couldn't do the ceiling fan, but who cares? TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF.
awwww, i really miss the fluff but of course, i am a total sucker for angst. this was kinda in the middle. i'll be honest, it wasn't my favorite chapter just because now that i'm going back through these, i don't even remember this one. although i really enjoy reading your take on how she ultimately decided on the yogurt lid. oh and this line?
"I was dorky, too! Can two dorks find love together?" Horrible.
ahahaha, it made me laugh :]
Author's Response: This really isn't my favorite chapter, either, Sunday. I wish I'd have spent a little more time with it, but I think Pam's thoughts were kind of in the middle at that point. I mean, no doubt, she was in love with Jim and didn't want him to leave, but she was trying really hard to be brave and fancy and new, so. I loved that her note and the yogurt lid was just so simple and not a big declaration of love, just a "don't forget me" and of course, the rest is history!
when i first read this, i was so very confused. i'm thinking, oh they're going on a road trip! and then i scan the rest of it and i'm like, "wait. what?" and THEN i read your little chapter note at the top. i am SO smart. :P
anyway, as always, this is beautiful. sad, but beautiful. my favorite line is the last one, "but he knew what we was leaving behind."
Author's Response: I kind of hated to bring the angst in the midst of all the fluff, but Jim's state of mind when he was leaving has always fascinated me. It must have been so hard for him to leave, but even harder to stay. What an awful time. Wait...these are fictional characters, right? RIGHT? Thank you for commenting on this chapter in particular, because it didn't get a lot of love, and I know why, but I'm kind of fond of it, myself.
“You’re making fun of me.”
“Absolutely.”
:]
Author's Response: Hee hee! Aren't they so cute? I can't stand it!
awwwwww, he's so nervous :] you know what? he really does remind me of a lab. ahahahaha i can just imagine jim in the butcher shop with the aid of dwight's weapons. that might not go over so well.
i remember this chapter. i loveeeee it! "defeated by dinner." so sweet. poor jim! but i love it. everyone's human.
& of course my favorite line, “Even though you’re the meanest girl I know, I’m still going to feed you.”
Author's Response: You know what? I think that might have been my favorite line, too! How fun it is to go back to these little scenes! Thank you so much for doing this!
ahahahahaha pam can't resist jim. i don't blame her, though!
Author's Response: Right? How hard would it be to leave him at the door like that? Impossible!!
rereading some of my favorite stories, so i'll review them again!
this just seems so natural for them. you write the characters so well. i also love that you can write the whole thing in dialogue and it's so easy to follow. usually when the whole thing is dialogue, i have to go back and figure out who's who and what is going on, but not with this!
Author's Response: Shame on me for being so late getting back to you, Sunday! Honestly? I was in the throes of such bad writer's block that I didn't even think I could write a decent response. Pathetic, right? But what a sweet surprise this was! I'm so pleased that you think the dialogue is easy to follow - I sometimes struggle when I'm reading a lot of dialogue, too, so YAY! And thank you!
10 i just found this and i'm so glad i have! it's perfect, especially the last chapter. it made me smile and it's just so THEM :]
Author's Response: Sunday, how fun it is to read this after this much time! These two...they are just a blast to write and I had a ton of fun writing each one of these. The last chapter...it's so special to me because it's one of the first times that things just seem to come to me and it was so emotional writing it. This fic was the first bit of extensive writing I'd done in years, so when I was winding it up, I cried through nearly the whole thing! Thank you so much for your kind words!!
58 10 wow. i LOVE you for this :]
Author's Response: Well thank you very much! I appreciate the review Sunday.
Ideas for Cold Openings (the pre-title gags) always pop into my head. So these will be just a bunch of teasers that, hopefully, you will find funny. I don't know how many I will post but I'll keep putting them up as they occur to me.
“I can’t believe it’s not
Beesly."
classic!
Author's Response: Thank you!
i've just gotten around to reading these new ones (i just got back from studying abroad for six weeks), so i'm just now reading these. but they're great! so in character. i wish nbc would use some of these, hahaha. keep it up :]
Author's Response: THAT would make my day.... Thanks so much!
YES. i love the pranks they play on dwight. fantastic.
Author's Response: He's just to easy to mess with.. and you can really dream up some outlandish pranks with him, too. Thanks!
wow, that's just so... kelly. "Usher Jennifer Hudson Kapoor"
Author's Response: I had a really goofy stupid time dreaming up names for Kelly to use, lol... thanks so much, I appreciate all if the comments!
