Jim remembers their first road trip.
10 Ok I just finished reading this story for the second time, and I am crying my eyes out! I can totally see Jim as a "Pops" and Pam as "Gran", and ugh its just to perfect. I wish I had something better to say though, it's just this older man feels like Jim, you know? This is an excellent piece of fiction. Now I have to go blow my nose...
Author's Response: Thank you, tizzy! :)
7 hey, i liked this fic, i love that she went up to the roof, and i love the idea of everyone in the office getting Ryan to call Jim, i really hope this isn't the end, because i think we need to read about a not so defeated Pam! hehe i think there is more of this story to be told!
10 Hehe! I loved this, there was smut! there was pranking! there was smut! there was a snow fight! there was smut! they were stranded! and did i mention the smut? HEHE BRAVO! I think you excuted both of the new challenges flawlessly! the powerpuff artwork has me still giggling! thank you!
Author's Response: Yay, smut! :)
10 OK I keep coming back to this story, I've read it at least 4 times in the last oh say? 12 hours? I really hope you continue writing and I doubly hope you continue writing in this canon you have created, you have really captured their voices, so congrats, and as a fan please keep going!
Author's Response: Thank you :) I do have another part planned.
Could be kinda in response to The Injury challenge. Jim suddenly has a lot of time to contemplate and reminisce. 10 OK, I'm loving this story, and before MTT that was one of my favorite web sites to waste time on, and so I went like a dork and plugged in results for Pam; You will live in Shack.
You will drive a Green Corolla.
You will marry Jim and have 12 kids.
You will be a Olympic Judge in Stamford.
The best part the last thing to clear was Jim and it looked really close between him and Dwigh! Ah 12 thirsty Shcrute babies...ew just squeecked myself...but back to the point I love this story and great names!
10 I think that was the funniest story I've read in a long time...while at the same time being a little creepy...but still laugh out loud fall off the bed fantastic!
10 Oh my! This was so good, I've always had a soft spot for Michael, because to me he was always just this intensly lonely man who was unable to relate to others, though yeah he is a dick sometimes. But this story was wonderful, I didn't put the Liz thing together until about three-quarters in, but this would be an excellent reason for Michael's clear loathing towards Toby. I espeacially love that you can see shades of who Liz will become even if she was dealing with Packer. Also the quick shout out towards Josh and Jan (who it seems can't stay away from the Dunder-Mifflen men) To the point though, a wonderful work. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
There are secrets even the closest couples don't share.
10 Well good things come in small packages, so great fic can come in in two paragraphs! This was perfect, and absolutly true, as much as I love all the happily ever after fics because if my life can't be perfect maybe these fictional peoples can, this was pitch-perfect for reality. These are the secrets the would most definitly keep from one another and the ones they should keep. I say bravo for keeping it real. (oh that was just dumb and I know it...oh well... :)
10 It's funny, I know this is totally and AU and it's really just for laughs, but I'm honestly starting to get jelaous on behalf of Jim! Throw him a bone would ya? LOL
Author's Response:
LOL don't worry after Jim mangles Conan you won't have to be jealous for him anymore....jk LOL i'll try to throw him some Miss Beesly action for ya LOL
The one missing piece to a fantastic episode. Missing scene for "Gay Witch Hunt".you are my hero, this is exactly what the episode needed...i heart you're fics...
When gods want to punish us, they grant us our wishes.10 Wow, this story is so interesting and Creed being cast as the "powers that be", perfect...so is this just going to be like A Wonderful Life, and she gets Jim back? Ooo and what is Jim doing in this Alternate reality? I can not wait to find out!
Author's Response:
I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life, so... I don't know:) Yeah, I immodestly think Creed is the perfect choice for that part;) Thanks for the review:)
More Jim and Pam and their adventures in raising baby Jill!
I have something either very weird/sad to admit or something that will tickle you as much as it did me. Since this fic started I have given birth to my own little 'bean'.
And my precious sunshine of my life daughter in the six weeks she has lived outside the womb has spent some quality time screaming her little head off. My husband and I think she should be an opera singer with that lung power. Anyway the other night she was in a mood and my husband and I just looked at eachother and started laughing, full on cracking up. So I said to Daddy after the three of us had calmed down a similar experince happened to a friend of mine, but I couldn't remember hich friend. Then this morning I remembered it was my friend Jim in letter to his wife Pam. What I think I'm trying to say is even though they were fictional it was comforting to think of being in the foxhole with some really good friends.
And I so want my daughter to like Jill stealing and all...
Thanks for that moment of comfort....
-tizzy
OH MY GOOD GOD WOMAN! Daddy Jim makes me freaking melt! I love Dwight/Jim grudging respect scenes...and this was just great! Like aww great! I like totally want the show to fast forward a couple years because I have complete faith this WILL BE the future!
And as an aside, I have no children at the moment but I have been known to when my nephew was only abotu 5 months old to sneak him non-solid foods that my sister would freak at...there was no formal "NO-Toby" list (yes, he's 3 now and not named after our beloved HR rep) but I swear he loved the peanutbutter ice cream! And now he eats at all the time when he visits... So I totally love the whole Jim sneaking pudding and jello...warms my heart...
I love this series over all so much! I think you have Jim and Pam down completely! And unlike some other baby fics (which I enjoy) I feel like this would be most what they'd be like as parents. Also I would just like to say thanks for enlightening us on how old Jill is... (she's my favorite JAM baby...don't tell) :-)
Well I should rap this little gush up, so keep up the good work I love your stuff...
8 aww this was so cute and i absolutly love the reference to the alexander books! very cute lovely story....
The office members head out for a night on the town. Spoilers up until Traveling Salesmen.
10 Okay, you def need to continue this...because i am loving this and i desperatly need some JAM longing/eventual hook-up-ness (did that make sense? i hope so)...oh and i don't mean to nit pick at all but Fergie was never on the "Mickey Mouse Club", MMC to the cool people (wow i'm a dork)....she was on "Kids Incorporated" then again maybe you did it on purpose because after all Dwight said it...anyway please continue!
Author's Response:
OMG, thanks for pointing that out. No, that was just me being an idiot, I think Dwight is a stickler for details and would have gotten that right. Anyway, I fixed it now. I used to watch that show, too. Doh.
I, too, really want to see Jim and Pam get together. We'll just have to live it out in our stories for now...
ok this is kind of a review for both this and breakthrough, but you write the best jim/pam fights! the things you have them say are things i think are the things they really would say, often times with them fighting it sometimes comes across as to angry btu i think you have the pitch just right! bravo....and continue this you're killing me here with all the angst....
Author's Response: I'm so happy that you like my Jim/Pam fights. I realized after posting everything today that (a) Everything I write seems to take place in the break room and (b) I love writing Jim/Pam fights.
ok heres the thing,i like this story and have been reading it the whole way along, but its one thing to have a non dream-like relationship and its another to have this super-dramatic roller coaster one you have them on, which can be fun to read, but makes me hope your not shooting for realism
Jim's basketball game with the C.F.O. (not his actual initials) gets interrupted with news from what happened at Poor Richard's; he reacts accordingly.
Well I have never kept my love your fics exactly under wraps...and well you would think I would know after reading so much of your work that you freaking love a cliff hanger....but this was just mean...super super mean...aww I love it.... :-)
Author's Response:
I'm sorry - I swear, I wasn't trying to be mean! (Okay, well maybe just a little bit...)
Thank you so much for reviewing - will update soon!
This was freaking perfect....I heart you and have absolutly no words to describe how much I loved this. And I've re-read it far to many times to considered sane...now I think you said something about finishing ONLY? My fav fic? Hehe I can't freaking wait!
Author's Response: I'm really thrilled that you liked it!! ...And I'm even more thrilled to hear that you're looking for the "Only" update, because I posted it not too long ago! Thank you so much for reviewing!
Yup, it’s a post-Cocktails fic! With a bit of a twist. Karen does a bad thing, and Jim is about to suffer the consequences…Okay this may sound weird but this is the best way to describe this fic, it's like razor blades slowly being pushed through your veins. The pain in these four chapters is phenominal I literally sit and read feeling ever single moment of awkwardness, rage, and at certain moments relief. You have managed to get me really honestly feel like I'm sitting on the front lawn and can just see every emotion. This is an amazing piece of fiction and how you write it makes me want to live in it. I can't wait for chapter 5 because I feel like thats when the tension may disolve a little bit, and I feel like this fic is in me now and every time I think about it part of me tenses up. A beautiful peice of work and I'm literally on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment.
Author's Response: Oooh, razor blades! ouch! I mean, seriously it's an awesome compliment. Thank you very much!
haha ok I messed up and thought this was only 4 chapters! So yeah I can't wait for chapter 6 because I really like chapter 5....so yeah chapter 6....
Oh my God! I saw Carousel years ago, and cried the whole movie...i don't remember any of the songs only the opening sequence and that the guy dies and I cried. It was however the musical that caused me to be obbsessed with Rodgers and Hammerstien for years to come...so it was really nice to be reminded of it...
Lillian reminds me of my own Grandmother as well, so that tugged the heart strings. Plus anytime Jim is around a baby I get all gooey inside...espeacially if it's his and Pam's baby. And "I Will" is definitly one of the best love songs out there, if only for its simplicity....I love fluff and this was just beautiful...
And on a braoder note, I wish there was a feature where we could just review authors greater body of work because I just love everything you do, and never have time to reveiw each piece properly...so this is my all encompassing review...I love it all keep writing and I'll try to find the time to review each wonderful piece... :-)
Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. I picked today to get caught up on reviews and because this is one of the last ones, I'm starting to run out of steam so here it is... LOVE THIS!!!! And if you want a greater detailed review you should update....because then this will be high on the list and I won't be out of steam. (yah that was a hint if I ever heard one) hehehe
Keep up the amazing work moxie!
So today is/was my birthday and it kinda sucked...but having the last chapter of one of my favorite stories posted on it? Made it much better! LOVED THIS???
And did I read sequel???? HEHEHEHE :-)
Okay, I'm very bad at leaving reviews...I always mean to go back and do it later but then sadly the RL gets in the way....
I love this story it so creative and great, and as someone who despite really really trying but could never quite warm up to Karen, I love what your doing with her! I do think its a bit out of character, but I love it! I say give me more possesive Karen!! hehe! But yes, this story is so good. It's funny and angsty and I'm sure some fluff will appear eventually... :-)
On a larger note, I just want to say I'm a huge fan of yours! I swear I have read like all your fics at least twice and some way more than others (MTLGTM, DL, OM) to name a few. But there is one thing that bugs me slightly, Stamford, CT is north of Scranton, PA. So everytime your characters reference Stamford while in Scranton they should say up there, because its north. While Scranton is down from Stamford. (I'm a geography nerd and this probably only bugs me) but yeah I just needed to point that out.
BUT don't forget to keep up the amazing work! I can't wait for the next chapter of this!
