Jim's been away. Now he's back. Pam realizes what she's missed. No spoilers - just speculation and much wishful thinking.
I added Karen as a character in the story - since she's mentioned.
10 I love how you nailed the differences between Karen and Katy, and I'm so glad it had a happy ending! Between the show, and all the well-written Jim/Karen fics, I truly need a Jim/Pam fix.
Author's Response: Thanks McGigi!!! I can't do unhappy and I'm really not adept at doing anything un-Jim/Pam. Even when I'm taking a stab at ensemble I've got them making eyes at each other. :)
Perhaps, even though she hates to put it into words so bluntly, perhaps Michael is just better than nothing. Jan before Casino Night.
10 I love it! You've nailed Jan (TWSS!) and it's very well written!
Author's Response: Thank you:)
10 Oh, this is so sad. Well-written, but very, very sad!
Author's Response: Thanks, McGigi :)
10 SO nice! I love Roy, even thought I'm Jim/Pam to the core. Great job showing how easy it would be for her to fall back into it with Roy!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it.
When gods want to punish us, they grant us our wishes.8 Wow, supervixen! I LOVE that it's the first chapter ofa story and not a stand-alone fic. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks:) I don't know how long it's going to be, but yes, it's definitely a multi-chapter story:)
Oh, this made my heart twinge sadly! How horrible would it be to realize she imagined it all? I can't wait for the next installment!
Author's Response: Thanks:)
It's another Stamford office friday night, and Josh is buying the first few rounds. Jim tags along and hopes to start building some new relationships. That turns out to be more true than he could have imagined.
9 "How could you have thought that? Did you think I just stopped loving you after
everything I said? If I could have turned it off that easily, don't you think I would
have done it years ago?"
This? Broke my heart a little.
Loved the story, I wish we could see that on the show!
10 Aw, I love this! I love that kev wants to be part of a team like Jim and Pam, because, really, who doesn't want that?
Very well written, I'd love to see more in this vein!
Author's Response: Thanks, McGigi! You should check out Office_Romances; there's a ton of these unusual pairings!
Aw, they each need a friend. I like the way you've portrayed them, good work!
Author's Response: Thanks!
The more things change - the more they stay the same.
(I went crazy and rated it M -and then changed it back to a T 'cause - you know - it's still me doing the writing.)
10 Rock on! I love this SO much! it's just a perfect happy ending. I love how Pam gives Kelly credit for helping, but my favorite, favorite part is this- Despite all that was different the sound of her laugh when his fingers trailed the inside of her thigh and traced the back of her knee was purely, utterly, simply Pam. It echoed in his ears, made him slightly dizzy and it was then that Jim realized nothing that truly mattered had gone missing.
That's just lovely.
Thanks McGigi! See I'm thinking Pam might be a tad ticklish. ;)
I'm all for happy endings. I simply won't have it any other way.
10 Wow, interesting pairing, and sad for the Jam factor! I love the description of where everyone would sit in the cafeteria, you've nailed them!
10 Oh, that was great! I can hear Dwight so clearly....and I'm glad Jim decided to drop the frat. He's so much better!
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it, McGigi. Thanks for coming up with a great challenge. Jim is so much better than the Xi Chi punks.
Come on! That was adorable! I would love to see preteen Jim and Pam at camp, thank you for this story!
Author's Response: Well, thank you and what a great idea for a challenge McGigi! Camp is just such a fun time for all those little adolescent romances! This was fun.
Five ways Jim finds out about Dwight & Angela.10 Wow, I can't decide which is my favorite...thanks for all of them!
Author's Response:
You're too sweet. Thank you so much!
9 Awesome job on your first fic! I enjoyed the situation and characterization, and I hope you continue to write!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the encouragement - I'm really glad you liked it. I hope to write more, too, but I have to find a way to do it faster!
Wow, how I wish this was how it played out! I often wonder if there's anything happening on camera that masks what happens off camera. Great story!
Author's Response: Thanks McGigi! Don't they seem too happy? There MUST be something we're not seeing...
"Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations." Faith Baldwin
A story inspired by Ms. Fischer herself and her recently publicized version of Pam's backstory that explains what the hell is going on in her mind now that she's made that poor heartbroken boy move away.
10 This was lovely.... it's probably exactly what Pam would do now that she's on her own, stuff we don't get to see on the show. Loved it!
Author's Response:
Thanks McGigi! If Jenna says it IMO then it is so. That's all the confirmation I need.
So glad you liked it!
"Today she had spent the morning looking for more signs of chinks in his armor."
What a lovely turn of phrase! Looking forward to more!
10 Guh. You got me with this one....it was absolutely lovely and so satisfying! I wondered what you meant at TWOP when you said you were cheering yourself up; I thought, 'how can Pam with another guy be cheerful??" Rock on!
10 Ha! I was trying to figure out who it would be, and Roy never even entered my mind! I'd love to read more of this scenario, it's verrry interesting
Author's Response:
Thanks!
Pam makes a decision.10 Simply lovely, and spot on for these characters.
Author's Response: Thanks McGigi!

Thanks for writing it, and thanks to Par5 for inspiring it! I do love that Jim is ready to give her a handful of candy... he's so generous!
It starts with the first time Jim and Pam are in the same room again, followed by their first real fight and then..you know...a few other firsts. :)
10 For the love of Pete, Krissy, this was so poignant and so realistic! I can't wait til they get all happy and schmoopy.
Author's Response:
What makes you think I'll make them happy and schmoopy???
Am I THAT predictable??? LOL!
10 Oh man, so sad...can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: Thanks McGigi!
10 Oh, man, Lis, this made my night! Loved it!
Author's Response: Happy to help! Thank you!
