Oh my goodness, I have never read such a perfect Phyllis' Wedding story! It was just so... happy! Brilliant writing, very clear, descriptive, especially with the dialogue. I loved the last conversation, and the description of Roy seeing them and walking away. Wonderful job, it was beautiful!

Author's Response: Thanks, pmh. That was not an easy conversation to write, full of ellipses and 'um' pauses. Glad you liked how it turned out. Thanks for letting me know! :)

Oh my goodness, that was just beautiful! I loved the line towards the beginning... ' "Shut up, I'm tired," I laugh, but you frown a little and ask if I'm okay and, see, I knew I shouldn't have said anything, because there you go being wonderful.' There YOU go being wonderful, because this story certainly is. When you describe Jim being such an open book and that Pam has the information all there, but the pages are stuck together and could tear if you pried them apart too hard, that was such a beautiful metaphor. It really fits our favorite couple perfectly. And then Jim says he didn't realize Pam was so eloquent, I just grinned at that (and when you described that Jim grins when Pam walks into a room! So sweet!).

I am so sorry, I've pretty much just recapped your entire chapter verbatim. (Did I use verbatim right? I love that word but I never seem to use it correctly... hmmm) I probably just copy and pasted everything from your chapter because it was really just so wonderful. So amazing job, and I would love it so much if you would continue this story with little moments from their honeymoon, maybe switching off the POV's. That would make for such an incredible story - if you're up for it, that is. Consider it though, please!

Thank you again, that was so lovely, I'm really at a loss for something original to say!

Author's Response: Thank you for such a sweet review, pamelamorganhalpert. I so appreciate it and I'm so happy it made you happy. :D I'm done with this story, but I'm so glad you liked it enough to want it to continue!

That was just beautiful. I really have to go to sleep now, but I just had to say how sweet that was. Wonderful, wonderful job interweaving the imagery on the television to what was happening on their couch, six years later. So well done. Great job you guys, you make quite a pair!

Author's Response: Thanks, so much for the review! We are having a lot of fun writing together, so I'm glad it shows! Hope you enjoy what's next!

This is exactly what the episode needed. You should call this in as an addition to the script! Very cute.

I've deleted and rewrote this review about three times now, as words are not coming to me in my attempt to express how much I loved this. Your story was so raw, beautiful and almost poetic, I could absolutely see each and every one of these words coming to life as I read them. Both Pam and Jim were told wonderfully, and it was so touching to see them being so supportive of each other, and how they had a mutual understanding of how to respond to their baby and to each other's needs involving Cecilia.

Wonderful, wonderful story. I always get excited when I see you've written something new. Keep it up!

Aww, that was just so perfectly awkward yet completely sincere. Wonderful anecdote, so sweet. Thanks for sharing this snippet with us!

Author's Response: You're most welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I just finished reading your first three chapters, and I'm hooked. I love where you're going with this, and the way you write Pam is so fresh. You definitely are staying true to her character, but you also are having Pam take some more risks, unlike the actual timeline of the show. I think this makes her so much more interesting of a character as she's that much more unpredictable - and it also gives you, as a writer, all the more to work with. I am also really captivated by the scenes with Jim, as we can see snippets of his love for Pam, but you've got him so true to his character, which makes for a realistic story. I don't think a story would be believable if both Jim and Pam were acting a little differently than they were on the show, so the way you've written your story is believable. Great job, and I look forward to your continuation of this!

Author's Response: Thank you PMH, I love fics, but I feel that too many times, Pam is written with a low self esteem that just drives me batty. I used to think Pam was just kind of shy. As the show has gone on, you find that Pam is now a stronger person, and the fics where she seems a bit low on self esteem are more accurate, but my inner feminist says to hell with that ;) I am having so much fun with this. Enjoy!

Great chapter - wait, what? Jim wears converse in Frame Toby?!?!? I am off to go search for a picture. That's AWESOME!!

And seriously, I loved all the art dialogue, it's so great to see Jim have an interest in everything Pam related again. And the descriptions of them being awkward is so cute. Such a great writing style! I love it!

Author's Response: Thanks again for the info! Chapter End Notes updated. :)

P.S. I'm sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but I absolutely LOVE Maddy's name. As I was reading I literally started to squeal because my name is Claire. Ahh, this story is so sweet!

Oh my goodness, that is just perfection. This could, quite easily, be my favorite thing I've read so far! I just loved the way you took Michael's line and turned it into, well... this.

I'll leave it at that. :) (And I hope you'll write some more of this.)

OH MY GOD - this was yours, Danielle? I wasn't paying attention to that until just now. This is making so much sense, right about now... :)

Author's Response: LOL thanks, Claire! Glad you liked this one. I'm still working on a rewrite of the next chapter of the AU and I'm in the midst of wrapping up Harmony (which I'm hoping you're enjoying!) so hopefully over the summer I'll come up with more little random one shots. So happy that you liked this one! :-)

This is just so fun, I love it! Please please make them get together in the end, does Jim REALLY want to spend his time playing cello? I didn't think so. He wants to spend time frolicking around Europe with his love, Pam!

On a less, um, nagging note, what a great chapter, I really love your sense of humor. Keep going!

Author's Response: Thank you, pamelamorganhalpert! I don't know, the cello seems oddly fitting.

Aw. Poor Jim and Pam! Keep going, K love the tension! And definitely the fact that Pam's not with Roy (and doesn't want to be!) How did I miss the first two chapters? I really liked this! Keep it up!

P.S. My only complaint is how short the chapter was!

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! Apparently, I enjoy writing tension, who knew! I know this chapter was short, but it felt like it was a good spot to end it and I didn't want to try to add more and have it just be filler.

Way to pull a fast one on me, Danielle! Just kidding, I know that you were feeling stuck with your other story. This was so surprising, I couldn't believe Jim was getting fired - especially over Andy (or Pam, even). I guess Andy's just a charmer who happens to get people to like his false personality. And they he pays for it, when he can't keep it up...

Anyways, it certainly wouldn't be bad form to keep cranking this one out daily. Send me an email if you'd like any help with this!

Author's Response: Aw, Claire, hope you got my email! The other story was just not writing itself quite the way this one is right now. I'm really happy you enjoyed this and I'm touched by your offer to beta upcoming chapters. Right now I am enjoying writing and posting as I go but I will definitely let you know if I'm stuck and need help. Thanks so much for the support, I do hope you like this story and I hope to hear from you again! Thanks!
