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... =)

OMG you wrote this??? I read it such a long time ago and had no idea! This is one of my favorite stories -- loved how happy and enthusiastic Jim was about planning the wedding (LOL three cake testings and begging to come to the florist). I had an inkling that it was for his wedding...something about the several "oh Roy wouldn't have done that" comments. And Jim's conversations with Mark. And the big revealing ending!! *happy sigh* So yeah, I really love this story. LOL ♥ ♥ ♥

Jim is not successful in stealing Pam's Christmas card back.

That was really sweet and tender. And wow, that conversation took me way back -- it reminds me almost exactly of late night conversations I used to have with my boyfriend when we first got together. I understand exactly what Pam's going through and why she brought it up, and Jim's responses were just perfect.

Author's Response: Sweet and tender - I like that. This was written way before we knew what actually happened, so I'm glad it still worked for you. Thanks again, Finer Things.

Date: February 03, 2008 Title: Chapter 5: Chocolate Pudding

"Could you be any more subtle?" Haha, so cute. Jim's obsession with pudding is a little weird (LOL!) but this was a really nice contrast with the previous vignette. =)

Author's Response: Jim's chocolate pudding obsession...might make more sense if you know why this crazy little fic was written: John K. had been asked in some interview if he liked jello in real life; he'd said no, but he loved chocolate pudding. So, a bunch of us were having a silly convo about that at the old TWoP (you can imagine) and somehow, I was elected to write the fic commemorating it. (I know, very deep, right?) Hence this story - which I speed wrote, on demand, in about an hour. So there's more than you ever wanted to know about this thing, lol. Anyway. glad you enjoyed and thanks!

*giggles* That was so cute! And really funny. I especially loved that first paragraph...teehee!

Author's Response: When I saw you'd reviewed this old thing, I re-read it for the first time in ages...and have to admit, it made me giggle too. Thanks for that!

Oh how adorable!! I was a bit confused about the chapter title until I got to the part about the nightgown. Very cute. =)

P.S. I hope you don't mine that I'm spamming you with reviews. lol

Author's Response: Mind? I'm horrified! Are you kidding? This is like pennies from heaven. And yeah, can't beat Liz, back in the day, for sex appeal. Thanks again, Finer Things.

Loved this line: "Luckily for you, I love you warts and all…and trust me, the last thing your attributes need is magnification." Sooo cute. And "hot as a very hot thing" is hilarious and so them. =)

Author's Response: So pleased you're enjoying these silly things...they were so much fun to write. And thanks for all the wonderful comments.

Angry!Jim...oh my goodness...I like when he comes out. And sad!Jim, not believing that he really heard Pam saying she loves him. That broke my heart. Oh and loved this line: and his heart filled with love for her. It was like an ocean, never drying out, replenishing each time he heard her breathe. *sigh*
