Wow. The condoms! Too funny. And I am praying to Thor himself that Jim shows instead of Mose.
Nice work!

Author's Response: Hee! You put this review for the very first chapter! I bet everyone reading it will be like wha? "Jim instead of Mose"? What the hell? Hahahaha

Thank the Lord you are SO good about frequent updates... I would die if I thought I might have to go days without knowing what happens next!
So exciting!

Author's Response: A desert island's death would be a terrible thing to witness. Imagine the carnage. The beach bunnies. The cabana boys. The hula dancers. No it mustn't happen! I shall continue to write though my fingers bleed and my bottom grows numb.

Oooo! It's getting exciting! Can't wait to read what happens next. You write the characters well (I especially like not-so-innocent Karen). I can't wait to see what happens next (but am sad for it to end). Oh, and thanks for the frequent updates!

Really great imagery. Love the storm and the darkness.

Author's Response: Thank you! My writing teacher always used to tell me that the weather should match the mood. It would sure have been harder to write this scene if Jim was looking out on a bright April morning.

I love the body part series! I don't know what I'd do without your happy stories! They always put a smile on my face.

Author's Response: thanks so much!  I do try to keep us fellow Jam fans happy!

Summary: It's all about becoming the Fancy New Beesley, really it is. A series of short-ish pieces running from "Business School" to "Cocktails,"  this story was started right after Phyllis' Wedding as a speculation and flight of fancy based on available spoilers for those episodes.  As you can see, things didn't quite turn out the way I'd planned.

Wow, oh, wow. I love this story you've developed for Meredith. So sad and telling and seems so fitting. I thought the pronouns worked fine, not confusing at all.

Author's Response:

Glad to know the pronouns worked. They can be tricky little devils. Thanks for reading!

I am so happy after reading this! Happy Valentine's Day indeed. As usual, you're dead on in characterization and dialogue... and I am a sucker for a happy ending, and I am assuming we're heading to an even happier ending. I am so happy to see ballsy!Pam.

That was great. I am such a sucker for a happy ending. I think my favorite bit was how you really compared Roy and Jim and how each would react and how each would treat Pam and Pam's realization about that. Nice job!

Author's Response:

If you're a sucker for a happy ending, then I'm your girl; I seem incapable of writing a Jim/Pam story without a happy ending.  (That's not true, actually; I wrote a smutty, dark Jim/Jan that decidedly did not end well for anyone but Jan.  Ahem.)

I'm glad you liked the Jim/Roy comparisons - sometimes I get too heavy on the interior monologues and it can weigh the story down; I contemplated cutting that, but ultimately left it in because I felt like it's such a distinctive contrast, one that Pam would surely be hyper aware of, you know?

Thanks for reviewing!

Author's Response:

Yeah they are two of my favorite characters, Dwight in particular has really been coming into his own lately.  I mean I love JAM, but aren't Dwight and Angela so sweet!  Thanks for the review and I'm so happy you enjoyed it.

Wow! I am always so thrilled to read your great Jim and Pam, and with this I learn you write Dwight extremely well, too.
He was so matter-of-fact and I loved that he checked in with Pam 10 minuties before their scheduled departure.
Yay!
