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... =)

Aww, how sweet. I love how Jim is getting along with Pam's parents and how much they like him. Not to be nitpicky, but I think Jim put Andy's calculator in Jello, not stapler (that was what he did to Dwight). =)

Author's Response: Your right! It was the calculator!! Thanks! I will fix that! Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate them!!

Awesome beginning -- I'm really looking forward to seeing how this goes. And now I'm all intrigued by this Chuck character...do I have time to start watching another show? Hmmm decisions... lol

Author's Response:

Thank you!  And ohhh, FinerThings, you really should invest the time in Chuck; it's an excellent show -- absolutely hilarious with just the right amount of heart.  And Zach Levi is rather hot, if I do say so myself.  :o)

Thanks so much for reviewing!

OMG! *flais* Jim brothers! Brothers of Jim! I want them all, they're so cute and I love how the three interact with each other!! And that last part with Roy was so emotional -- eeep Pam doesn't have a lot of girlfriends so Jim counts as one? Ouch! And that whole thing with Roy just not seeing or knowing about Jim's true feelings about Pam. *sigh* Oh by the way, because of you, I started watching Chuck. LOL! So thanks. =)

Author's Response:

Okay, this?  Made me literally laugh right out loud.  "I want them all!"  Hee - get in line, sister.  :o) The Roy bits were inspired by his comment to Pam at the coffee shop that he thought maybe Jim was gay "or something." I don't think Roy ever really believed Jim was gay (hello, The Alliance), but I do think he completely underestimated the threat that Jim represented.  And obviously by CN, Roy had cast Jim in the role of harmless best friend.  Poor Roy.  Hee.

Yay for a Chuck convert!  I absolutely adore that show, and I'm impatient already for it to come out on DVD.  Glad to hear you're watching it because of this!  :o)

Thanks for reviewing!

Awww he brought her a sweatshirt!! That's so sweet and thoughtful. And OMG yes I look forward to Pam and the Halpert brothers. =)

Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked that little detail; it just seemed like such a Jim thing to do, you know?  And part of what I'm going for here is that it'll ultimately be the little gestures like that one (or rather, Pam's memory of them) that sends her over the edge.  And yay that you're looking forward to the Halpert brothers & Pam!!!  You guys are giving me so much motivation to write those scenes!!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Yikes!! That was really graphic. Poor Pam. =( I'm worried about her just like Jim is, hope she gets out of that situation soon.

Author's Response: Awww, I love the story makes you feel worried just like the character. It makes me feel like I am doing a good job! I can't begin to thank you enough!

Wow. That was frighteningly graphic and really hard to read. I'm glad Jim found her. *sigh*

Author's Response: Wow, I never knew it was "frighteningly graphic!" Luckily, things are starting to look up for our favorite couple!

Aw, Jim to the rescue! The conversation with Dwight was painfully slow...just give Jim her address!! LOL! I'm so glad he found her in time. Also, I don't mean to be nitpicky, but Pam should be taken to the hospital immediately...especially after all those injuries. And why would they leave her on the couch if they thought she was dead?

Author's Response:

That's a good thought! I'll have to think over that.. thank you for pointing it out! But thank you for your reviews! they are always awesome!

Aww how sweet! I love how they were holding and kissing each other all through the painful past parts. Very cute!

Author's Response:

I have to say this is the sweetest thing I've ever written.  I'm glad you liked the cuddling bits; the physical descriptions are way harder for me to write than the dialog.  I can understand why people like to write scripts. ;)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, FinerThings!  I really appreciate it. :)

Aw, I loved the beginning about what Pam's been up to, and how she's getting "bolder" with the letters because she doesn't think he's receiving them. The letters and Jim's reactions are so heartfelt and emotional. I'm loving this story. =)
