Bio:

Not an author, but a CRAZED reader. OK, now I have written a little something. A very little something. Now I can sit at the cool table with Katy.

I wanted to let you writers know how much I appreciate the band-aids you have created for my broken JAMmy heart....

Wow, it totally could have been Pam.  I'm pretty sure she realizes that too. Thanks for filling in the gaps that the writers haven't been showing us lately, xo.  Nicely done.

Author's Response: You're most welcome, Miss Hoo.  I gotta think life might not be so bad if you had that boy at home with you. :)

Why is "Let's See How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20 running through my brain?

It's been a long trip for all of us; let's enjoy the ride, shall we? 



Author's Response: :D A long strange trip indeed, lisahoo! I love so much about what the premiere chose to be. The episode that launched a thousand fanfics...

HA!  I am SO not tired of Proposal!Fic! 

Love this part:

All these months I’d been thinking, plotting, planning, when all I'd ever had to do was ask.

So easy.

I'm such a tool.

That literally made me laugh out loud. 

Also -- the last line: I love this woman.  It sounds like a diamond commercial.  Freaking perfect.



Author's Response: I am so glad to hear you liked that part, because I think that\'s my favorite part of the whole thing. Thanks for reviewing lisa! Always makes my day. Now, we just have to wait for Thursday :)

Summary:

Pam thinks about the reasons this is right.

Ooh Stablergirl in da house!  So happy to hear from you!

Love this line: But I’ve found that I like the sparkle of possession on my hand, this time.

Us, too, girlfriend.  Can't wait to see that sparkle on your hand.

And wasn't Wheatstacks featured in the "Thomas Crown Affair"?  Double yummy. 

Summary: He doesn't quite know why he's showed up at her door, in the jeans he's worn all day and a hoodie he hasn't washed in weeks. Another time Jim couldn't wait. Post The Job.

Author's Response: It\'s gonna be a long second week until the next episode! Thanks for the review!

Summary: A series of mostly unrelated vignettes inspired by poems (or lines from poems) by Dorothy Parker.
It will feature all the major characters at some point, and will most likely be angsty because that's where Parker's poems lean.

Guh.  Does that tell you anything?

Btu seriously, I thought what made Casino Night such a turning point, (or the reason S2 Jim!Angst was easier to take than S3 Pam!Angst, was that in S2, they still pretended there wasn't anything between them.  But Jim 'broke the rules' when he told Pam how he really felt, and S3 was so hard to take because both their hearts were out there on the table.  Ouch.

Nicely put, carbondalien.

I\'m glad you liked this one. :)

Oh, lis, this is so beautiful.  I love how the change in emphasis, along with the context, and the slight changes in the wording changes the whole meaning of the sentence -- such an inventive way to follow the progression of Jim's emotions.

I also really love this part: The things I liked about Karen, her quick wit, her warm smile, they were the things that reminded me of the girl I left behind, the one I really wanted. I love how you draw attention to the things about Karen that were like Pam, and how those were what Jim liked about her.  (Karen can still be a great girl, she just wasn't the right girl.)



Author's Response: Thank you so much! I love thinking about how it gradually, subtly changed for him until he was too deep in it to move. And even when he came back, and tried so hard not to "come back"- it was all lurking there. And Jim liked Karen, but he loved Pam, so...there's that. Thank you again!

Yay!  Welcome to MTT!  I hope you get lots of comments/feedback.

I know zippy about Japan, other than "Lost in Translation", but I do know how freaky it is to be immersed in another culture and not speak the language and how you become almost invisible.  

At the risk of repeating myself, I like that Pam is learning to be more self-reliant and get comfortable with being uncomfortable and even a bit lonely. (How can you give yourself to another person if you don't know who you are?)

Major props for covering some new ground and new situations for Pam & Jim.



Author's Response: Ahhh I\'m glad you liked it! And I\'m very happy at the feedback I\'ve received, and sort of surprised (albeit flattered) that I got a ribbon. Thank you for the double-feedback :)

Wow, you made me give a damn about Karen.  And without making her seem 'fabulous' and Jim a total jackass.

But seriously, I do want to see some movement with Jim's career, so he doesn't have to throw himself in front of a train.  He's not super-ambitious VP/Corporate guy, but he does need to be something when he grows up.

Nicely done, sophia.

Thanks for being so crazy and staying up to give us the scene you KNOW we wanted to see.  MWAH!

Yes, Jim is totally the goofy dog & basketball hoop in the driveway sort.  And Pam has been in a relationship before -- she knows what she wants (now).

I could totally see this being how the Jam!Angst is resolved, but the writers will probably want to put us all through the wringer first.  Nicely done, JAMhands.

So true about kids not needing a bunch of that overpriced junk.  Mine were entertained for hours yesterday by an empty egg carton and a bunch of circles cut out of old cereal boxes.  And you should see them bowl with paper cups as pins.  Loving this glimpse into everyday at Casa de Halpert.

Yeah, there must have been some sort of knock-down drag out that took place off camera -- three seasons and who knows how many years of baggage doesn't just magically float away like a bad haircut.

The level of detail of where the mind goes when you're fighting is so realistic it kind of hurts a little.  Nicely done, LC.

Interesting that this chapter is more than twice as long as the other fluffy ones.  Hmm...



Author's Response: Thank you so much, Lisa...it hurt me too. I was reading aloud to test it and I was actually flinching. But it had to happen, and I had to try it, so...yeah. I\'m really glad you liked it. :) (And I noticed that length thing too...what is that? Sad thing is, I could\'ve kept up with this for a lot longer...oh cripes, YES, TWSS.) ;)
