Bio:
Hi! I started watching The Office exactly around the time the writers went on strike -- I figured it would be a good time to catch up with shows I missed. I've been an active member of the Buffy fandom since 2004 and am into a whole bunch of others, but I rarely delurk, so this is a big step for me. LOL! Hmm, what else? I'm a medical student, so in the 10 minutes a day I'm NOT studying or seeing patients, I can be found here reading the latest Jim/Pam stories, or on livejournal. I think that's enough for now... =)

Summary:

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.

Hilarious! I love the Jim and Dwight interaction and how amused Jim is by the whole situation. He has a lot to explain to Pam later. Heehee!

Author's Response: He just can't help himself, can he? lol... thanks!

Weekends with Jim can be a terrible distraction on Monday.

Awww that was ridiculously sweet!! Why must Jim be so perfect??? =)

Author's Response: Because there are writers far, far more talented than I am creating him!  He's not real, but lives large (TWSS) in our imaginations!  Thanks so much for the sweet comment, effayoffay!

His hands are in her hair and she knows that he's lost himself and if only, oh, if only they weren't at work, she'd ease up, slow down, whisper to him, ask him questions she knows the answer to, use her tongue and lips to make it last as long as she wants, until he's pleading her name over and over.

Oh. My. God. *thud* Sooo good, so sweet yet hot at the same time, and soo well-written! Just perfect. =)

Author's Response: How fun it is to read this after all this time, FinerThings!  I love when folks quote their favorite lines and when I read this, I remembered struggling over that bit - so that just makes this even better!  Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I really enjoyed this -- I'm glad you got them talking about what Phyllis and Ryan said because they're taken so lightly on the show but they bring up important issues about Pam and Jim as a couple. I like seeing them argue and make up, you know, act normal. =)

Author's Response: Thank you!

Summary:

Pam and Roy are fighting when a blackout occurs at Dunder Mifflin. She begins to relize her feelings towards Jim compared to her feelings towards Roy...

 Wow guys. I just read back over this uncompleted story.  I apologize for how crappy it is. It's one of my first... spare me! [x

Wow!! It was cute in the beginning, cute in the middle, and cute in the end. First bit: the green Skittles thing was so sweet, and Pam saying she walked over hot coals for Jim is priceless!! I can just imagine her holding that over his head for a while. Second one: oh-so-romantic. *happy sigh* And now I lost count, but the "sexy boy sweater" scene is super yummy. And OMG baby names!! *flails* I love how I progressed from normal review to squeeing fangirl as I went through this. LOL!

Ack, I can't believe Roy did that to Pam in front of the pizza boy! Poor Pam! That's terrible. But once again, super sweet Jim -- I love how he put all that together. =)

Author's Response: I know it might have been something of a stretch, but I know guys who do things like that do their girlfriends and I wanted a counterpoint to how Jim's treating her.  Besides, I was curious as to why Pam didn't interact with Michael or the delivery dude during the episode.  Thanks for reviewing!!
