Summary: An alternate universe that sees Pam turning over a new leaf at a private art school in Chicago, Ill. In this world, Dunder Mifflin doesn't exist, although a few of its characters are guaranteed to pop up here and there. On her first day, Pam meets Jim, a cute, affable, and somewhat geeky Journalism major who introduces her to indie rock, old movies, pop culture and a whole new world.

Awesome chapter. I can totally imagine something like this happening. When you first introduced Karen I half expected her to be some ex-girlfriend or something!
I agree Pam does need a bit of growing up to do, hoping for a quick update!

Author's Response: Hey, Noodles. It\'s so wonderful to hear from you again. I was so nervous in introducing Karen in this chapter, because I\'m aware there is some animosity out there concerning her character. I feel like Karen didn\'t have a chance to really develop personality-wise on the show, and as an actress, Rashida deserved so much more than that. I think I can put her character to some use, so I hope you\'re enjoying her interactions with Pam so far.

Poor Pam! Long distance relationships are tough, and she just has to learn how to manage on her own. I promise things will get interesting for our little Beesly very soon. Thank you so much for the review!

Really liked the finish to the chapter. I am kind of sad it's come to an end though, but definitely definitely please right again, and soon!

Author's Response: I\'m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the story, and I\'m sad it all had to come to an end. I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head that may come to fruition soon... We\'ll see. ;)

Great first chapter. I always thought it was odd that Pam never called Jim out on going Australia two days before her wedding. Looking forward to next chapter :)

Author's Response: Me, too. That never sat well with me. Thanks for reading!

I think you've caught Pam's state of mind perfectly. It's clear from her thoughts that she doesn't realize she doesn't love Roy anymore. "I couldn’t just throw my life away for a maybe" Obviously if she truly wanted to be with Roy it didn't need to matter what Jim felt about her.

Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: Pam is such an enigma during that whole period; I always found it hard to believe she truly didn\'t know Jim had feelings for her. I\'m glad my thoughts about her state of mind rang true. Thanks for the feedback! :O)

I really liked this, but if I have one slight criticism is I feel Pam choosing Jim was a bit rushed. I mean the time between CN and Dwight's Speech isn't that long, so I guess I can still see Pam reacting the same way, ie not making a decision that same night. JMO. Still thought the fic was excellent though :)

Author's Response: I appreciate your honesty, Noodles, and I actually agree. I knew a more realistic ending would not be as happy as the one I wrote. The only justification I can offer is that I wanted to do a (brief) exploration of the possibilities had they decided to be honest with each other sooner than they did on the show. I\'m glad you were able to enjoy it though! Thanks for the review. :)

Quite interesting. I always figured Pam called off her wedding mainly because Jim actually left and because she missed him so much that's how she realized she loved him more than Roy. So I'm looking forward to see how things pan out with Jim staying.

Btw the chapter was great. I think you portrayed Jim's feelings perfectly. Hoping for a quick update :)

Any chnace this going to get an update?

Author's Response: Actually, yes, I\'ve been working on updates for some time. I hit a roadblock, and when I finished the third chapter, I decided not to post it until I could write at least one more, and map it out more. I didn\'t put enough thought into it in the beginning and had to backtrack when I was already two chapters in. But, in short, yes. =)

Summary: Who knew that Jim would meet the love of his life at a minor-league hockey game? Or that Michael would meet the love of his life after shooting Fundle Bundle? Slight spoilers from seasons 1-5

That was awesome. I can totally imagine everything happening this way, so kudos for making it so believable!

Looking forward to more stories from you!

Summary:

I've been thinking of a way to continue a story I started here called "A Century Ends", but I figured out that I wrote myself into a corner that I could not escape from.  So I'm taking parts of that story and incorporating them into this one.  Everything that happened thru season two has happened in this "universe".  But after that, aside from the fact that Jim transferred to Stamford and came back with Karen when the branches merged, it's AU.  Hope you like it.

I read your original story too, I like the sound of this one more as it seems both are kind of happy at this point in this story. Will there possibly be a chance for them to get together?

Author's Response: Thanks.  This seems more fleshed out to me.  As for them getting together, I can't be sure.  The story in my head has a certain direction it wants to go in, but I guess it could stray off course as I'm putting it down on paper.

Oooh interesting, so I guess it closed down before Pam's speech in Beach Games?

Author's Response: Yeah - I think it's safe to say that this story takes place on the heels of The Merger.

They exited the building as they walked to their cars. They left and headed to the local Starbucks, entered the building together and stood in line waiting for their turn at the counter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading! Yeah, I was watching The Merger the other day and my mind traveled and created this after I saw that scene. I\'m so glad you enjoyed it!

A bit late in reading this, but just want to say I loved it. I was hooked from the v.beginning.

I alwyas thought Jim leaving for Stamford was probably the catalyst for Pam calling off her marriage, as Pam realized how much she'd miss him, sicne that didn't happen I found everything that happened instead entirely believable.

And thanks for making it a happy ending :)

Looking forward to reading more form you!

Date: January 20, 2009 Title: Chapter 13: She Needed To Do This

I like the story, but not a big fan of this last chapter sorry. It's just v.unrealistic in my opinion. Roy's hit Pam before now, so would Pam want to be with him again, and even more so would Jim even consider for one second letting Pam go anywhere with Roy? It's a very OOC Jim in my opinion.

Author's Response: Like before, I\'m getting to that. In my mind, Pam wasn\'t leaving Jim to go \"be with\" Roy again, but would leave to try to talk him out of hurting Karen. She\'s somewhat scared of him because of what he\'s done to her before, but it wasn\'t like that all the time. Roy\'s so hot and cold that for all she knows, they could go sit in the parking lot and he could start crying and begging her forgiveness. The reason why Jim let her leave is coming up in the next chapter :)

Summary: Spoilers for Goodbye Toby. My take on what might have happened had Andy not interrupted Jim's proposal to Pam. It's a pretty short oneshot. Written from Pam's POV.

I can not express how happy I am that you are doing a sequel. The first one was one of my favorites, and I can't wait for more of this to come!

I hope we end up meeting Michael too :)

Author's Response: Yes, you caught that did you? ;) I have a feeling Michael and a couple of other characters will be popping up soon. They were dearly missed in the last story, but I hope that I\'ve found appropriate places to finally put them to use. Thank you so much for taking the time to review.

Great update. I love how things aren't perfect for the two as they adjust to living together, and it's all so believable with realistic peeves from each of them.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad you\'re enjoying it. I figured it was only normal for Jim and Pam to go through some growing pains, but it\'s good that they have the opportunity to work through them now instead of after the wedding. :)

That chapter totally had me, I don't really like the idea of Jim and Pam eloping so I was sure that's what you were doing, but you totally tricked me, I honestly did not see it coming that it was Michael and Holly who were getting married at the courthouse. Great stuff as always :)

Author's Response: I\'m sorry I tricked you, but it was all in good fun. Right? Ha-ha. Oh, and I had to give Michael and Holly a happy ending since the Office writers seem to be dragging that relationship out as long as humanly possible and it\'s killing me. They belong together, dangit.

Thank you so much for the review!
