Bio:

Author of the month December 2018

I was around this site many years ago, during seasons 4 and 5, and then went on an unexpected hiatus for several years. I'm back and better than ever! Finished up one WIP ("Sociology 101") and might finish another if inspiration strikes. For now, working on new material and enjoying being back!

God this is cute. I love the way you work in lines/ideas from the show, but in a completely new setting. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! My intention was/is to mirror the series but in an original and organic manner so I\'m really glad it worked for you. :)

Again, wonderful! I'm looking forward to see what happens as the week progresses.

I LOVED that you worked in the scene from the dojo, as well as all the other little tid bits from the show. Great job! =)

Author's Response: Aw, thanks. Glad to read you\'re still enjoying it :)

Date: March 26, 2009 Title: Chapter 8: Hangbags and Gladrags

Every time I read this story I think "Oh no! We're almost at the end of the week and they're not together yet! Aaahhh!" but then I remember that multiple chapters span the course of one day and I love that. Love love love it. I like getting able to see so much interaction between the two of them, because so often (even in my own work) it's like: Jim and Pam go on their first date. In the next chapter, it's two weeks later. Next chapter is like five years down the road and they've got a baby.

Okay, I'm rambling. Point of my review: I really love this. =)

Author's Response: LOL, BigTuna :) I\'m so glad to hear you\'re enjoying the slow pacing of the story. I promise it\'s going to heat up really quickly. Thanks for reading/reviewing, I really appreciate it.

FINALLY. I've been waiting for this moment since the beginning of this story. Great great job, I really enjoy the way you slip in bits from the show but keep it in your AU world. I'm really looking forward to the next day!

Author's Response: Yay! I\'m glad you were patient enough to wait it out. :) Day three isn\'t going to be all rainbows, sunshine, and puppies, but I think it\'ll be a lot of fun. Thanks for reading/reviewing!

I love this story!! I'm always so glad to see updates. I can't wait to see what happens on the rest of day three!!

Author's Response: Always glad to hear from you BigTuna :) Glad you\'re liking it, can\'t wait to get you more.

*gasp!* Karen, Jim finding out about a blind date, and losing money all in the same chapter? What are you doing to us? I can't wait to see what happens!

As always, I love how you make moments in the show your own--the phone call between Jim and Pam, Ed Truck dying, and the bird funeral in the previous chapter. Really great job--I can't wait to see what happens!

Author's Response: It\'s called slow torture and it\'s only going to get better (or worse depending on how you look at it.) :) Thanks so much for reading/reviewing, always great to hear that people are enjoying it. Can\'t wait to get you more!

!!! Boo Karen! I hate all this angsty stuff but I know that it'll be totally worth it to see what happens at the end of the week. Update soon!!

Author's Response: Hey BigTuna, I\'m not really a fan of the angst stuff either, but I promise you won\'t have to wait much longer. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. :)

Date: May 10, 2009 Title: Chapter 13: LoveFool

What a mess. Stupid Karen, had to come and screw everything up.

This is captivating, as usual. Can we have some more fluffy goodness like the kiss from a few chapters ago soon, though? I'm starting to feel like I'm back in season 3 all over again!

But seriously, great job. I can't wait to see what's next!

Author's Response: Hey Big Tuna, sweetie, I\'m really sorry to say this, but it\'s going to feel like season 3 for a little while longer. But, there are three more chapters of day three and only two of them are angst-y. And I promise, day four and five, totally worth the wait. :) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I do appreciate it greatly!

Summary: That day he started writing down everything. He wanted to make sure he never forgot. Not in a hundred thousand days. A collection of connected days in Jim's life that show insight on how he got to be the paper salesman we all know and love.

This is a great chapter, and an AWESOME idea for a story. I'm really impressed (and jealous I didn't think of it first, haha) but seriously, KEEP IT UP, because it's awesome. =)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! That means a lot...really. It\'s always great to see that my efforts are being enjoyed by more than me! Hope you like the rest too, next chapter coming soon!

This was cute--I actually love stories about Jim and Pam getting into tiffs, because it makes them seem much more real. Keep writing, you're definitely talented!

Author's Response: Thanks! I also love them seeming like a real couple. And of course, it gives the opportunity for sweet make-ups! :)

Those last ones are all so sad...but I like to think about what would happen if things didn't happen the way that they...happened. Great job, keep it up!

Author's Response: I know, it makes me thankful that the writers on the show steer clear of what ifs like this. Thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

I love this, and I usually hate Karen. But you've made her into a person that I can kind of relate to and sympathize with, instead of just thinking "Ugh, Karen, bitch." Great job!

Can I just say that this?

“This,” he murmured as he glanced down at his hand covering her belly. “This makes me feel…”

Pam smiled and asked, “All manly and strong?”

“Yes,” he admitted with a laugh.

“Like you want to carry me around for the next nine months?” she teased.

Jim nodded. “I can hold you up and say, ‘Look what I did!’ Is that bad?” he asked with a chuckle.

“No.”

Jim pushed her sweatshirt and tee up over her stomach, exposing her creamy skin as he slid down. He looked up at her as he lowered his parted lips to the soft curve and murmured, “Look what we did, Pam.”


Was perfect. How do you DO that?
