"There wasn't enough punch in the world to turn her into that sort of girl, and he wasn't that sort of boy.""What?" he said. "What do you want? Anything. Anything, please."
BEST. LINE. EVER.
Inspired by something I noticed about the "Casino Night" kiss.
*Sigh* LOVE IT. Wonderfully written :)
Pam's been counting the days.
10 Short and sweet, but I love it!
Author's Response:
Oh, thank you! This was the 500th story posted to MTT, a long time ago!
This is set several weeks post-Merger. No spoilers, all speculation.10 Wow. That's all, just wow. Love it.
10 Holy crap! I just read this whole thing, and I LOVE IT! YOu must finish it ASAP!
10 I realize the review I left for the chapter you just updated today was a little demanding by saying you MUST finish this story, so I thought I'd leave a little something here too and let you know this was my favorite chapter and such a nicely done story. The last paragraph of this chapter was just so sweet and sad, ugh, I loved it!
This is from Karen's point of view - my attempt at getting into her head and fleshing out just what's going on there. (Perhaps I should clarify that this is decidedly not a Crazy!Karen fic.)
And while it's obviously centered on Karen, Jim and Pam are very much in the background.
It'll ultimately be a two-parter, probably no more than that. Seriously. I mean it this time.
8 I really loved this story. Karen is one of my favorite characters, and I think you really did well getting inside her head here. It seemed very realistic, and the last line is perfect. Nicely done.
10 You know, I always liked Karen even though it seems like everyone else hates her. She never did anything wrong, and I like you gave her a voice - even with a big spot of mean thrown in :)
8 Title should explain it all.10 I LOVED this! I love the short simple stories like this that are still so powerful, nicely done. And Jim's voice, yum, I know exactly what you mean by his voice having that affect, I love JKras' voice, it's just wonderful...and now I am rambling, sorry :)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks for the review. :D Makes me smile to get a review on an older story, and besides, this is a great review. And yeah, trust me. The amount of sound clips from JK/Jim... well, I certainly love his voice also! ;)
Tandem Writing. A die-hard Jammer and a not-so-Jammer write alternating paragraphs to write a coherent story... 10 I loved this! I wondered why it wasn't listed as having two authors and it all made perfect sense once I got to the end. It wasn't until Karen got hit by the bus (Yes, it did take me that long, I admit it) that I started to realize that we'd been duped, but I loved this anyway, very well-done, bravo!
10 Simple and straight to the point. Love it.
Watching the documentary as a favor for Ryan, Toby learned that almost everyone at Dunder Mifflin could probably sue Michael for something and win big. And he learned a few other very important lessons as well.10 I loved this story! Normally I am into the JAM stuff of course but this was really well-done and it was cool to see something from Toby's point of view. He's one of my favorite characters and we don't see him enough! Very nicely done :)
10 Wow...love this, I'm so glad I stumbled upon it!
Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m glad too! :)
A look at what might have happened between The Job and 'round about Money. Lots of steam in the beginning, then some angst for good measure.10 Love the ending. What can I say, I'm a sucker for the angst. Loved the whole thing, of course but that BOOM at the end was just perfect.
8 Impulsively, Pam leans forward and throws her arms around Karen, and Karen is taken aback, because she's not exactly that kind of person, and this is the second time today this has happened.
10 I really liked this story. I've always been pro-Karen because I don't think she ever did anything wrong and she was a good person in a crappy situation. I think this is one of my favorite stories on the site, it's so well-written and just nice to see she's not painted as the 'bad' one. But I still love JAM, just to clear that up :)
10 This is my new favorite chapter! (I have a feeling I will be saying that a lot though with each knew segment you post!) This whole thing is so well done and the poems fit so perfectly, this was a really great idea and you've written it very well!
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad you liked it. This was definitely the poem I was looking forward to most, so I\'m happy it\'s going over well. :)
10 I have been waiting so (sort of) patiently for an update and I was not disappointed. I love how you can tell so much story in such a short vignette. I love it, as usual. Great work!
Author's Response: Glad you weren\'t disappointed. :) Thank you!
9 I was so psyched to see another update from you, this is one of my favorites; nicely done as usual.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you very much. Glad you liked it.
One part for each season. Pam's p.o.v. Nothing could be more innocent than a freckle, right?10 *sigh* I love this whole story but I think this is my favorite chapter. So angsty and perfect and sad and wonderful.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, IThinkWeBrokeHisBrain! Glad to hear this one worked for you!
10 OI. LOVE IT, and the whole series so far! Sadly, I know that I would not have been able to kick him out though, haha ;)
Author's Response: thank you, IThinkWeBrokeHisBrain! i am so glad you like the series thus far. and i\'m with you... i\'d have a lot of trouble kicking out either j kras or jim halpert :P
10 :) ...but you already know that
10 I HAD to sneak on just to leave you a little something and look! Another update! This chapter is defintely now in my Top 3, LOVED IT! You're awesome :)
Looks good, as usual. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Yay! I was also totally ready to give you a long list of firsts that you could continue writing about because this story is too good to end yet. You really capture their interactions and inner monologues so well, whether you're basing it on an episode or not and it's great! And as long as I am not in class, I'll definitey beta the next one, looks like we both have patience problems sometimes :)
10 :)
That is all.
Just kidding, of course that's not all. I think this might be my favorite chapter of all so far, but I already told you why so like you said, no need to repeat myself. Michael cracked me up in this though, seriously. What a doofus, but typical of him. I definitely do not think we will let you be done with this any time soon, just so you know :)
