Future fic, but with some imagined back-story for Jim as well.
10 Yay for Pam finally getting it. And how!
Author's Response: Yeah, I almost called this chapter 'About Time'. Thanks for the feedback.
Pam makes a choice.10 Short and to the point...Pam putting aside her wants for Roy, but with emphasis on how Roy's alternative is enjoyable too. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you! I was hoping that came through, and people wouldn't be all, "WTF? So, Pam is sleeping in, who cares?" Heh.
10 This? Totally rocked. That Pam would think to seek Jim out in this way, and share her decision at the bottom of a pool was just awesome.
Author's Response: Hee, thanks, Luna! :)
10 Poor Roy! No one should have to endure listening to that! You wrote it so well, that it was a pleasure to read, even though I felt really bad for him.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I have a soft spot for Roy, even though I know Jim and Pam should be together. I guess I showed both of those biases here!
Jim and Pam are a couple. He asks a question. She contemplates.10 Ok, you're definitely going to have to write more The Office fics. This was sweet and sexy, and I would really love to see something like this on the show. Here's hoping.
Author's Response: Thank you! Jim and Pam are wonderful muses.
10 I'm a big fan of beards, so I can't wait for Roy's to appear on screen. As long as Pam's not the one doing the noticing, we're all good.
Author's Response: Ha! But I think she will... ;)
Response to the Overheard challenge. A couple has an important conversation at the bank. 7 Fun twist at the end! But poor Roy. Oh, well!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the feedback!
9 Wow, I'm impressed. Very original and creative. Not to mention well-written.
Someone has to take up the slack...10 Oh, Phyllis! So sweet, and she just *gets* it.
Author's Response: I know! If she were a real person, she'd be the biggest Jam-shipper, and she'd be posting the shmoopiest Jamfic on the internet. She loves those two!
Sometimes you double check to see if you can hear a dial tone.
Then again...sometimes you might be too distracted to bother. ;)
10 That was too cute! Always love fics with Mrs. Beesly.
Author's Response: Mrs Beesly rocks! LOL! Thanks Luna Mystik!
10 I love Phyllis (but who doesn't, really?) and you made her so kind...and Toby so sad. Great series of vignettes.
10 Yes, HBO would definitely be a very appropriate place for Jim and Pam. Loved this.
Author's Response: Thank you! The possibilities cable would bring!
10 Loved this side of Kelly you've shown. Freezing out Ryan? Yay Kelly! And her being the one coworkers go to for relationship advice (with her apparently being clueless as to why) is just perfect.
Author's Response: Thanks! I wanted to show a contrast between how she dealt with her own relationship versus the advice she gave.
A hot night and a moonlit lake. That should do it. Oh, and a prank on Dwight.
10 You can be the official Jam in moonlit water correspond if you want - I'll nominate you! Great story, loved the lake creature bit, and the heat, of course.
Author's Response:
Hey, thanks, Luna! :)
10 I laughed out loud a couple of times here! And then I got really scared at the end, because Dwight+knife=OMG. Can't wait to read the conclusion!
Author's Response: Thanks, Luna! Glad you enjoyed the emotional wringer :)
10 OMG - you went full-on dirty on us! Pam+Jim+water+you=dangerous....but so much fun! Great job, you're really good at writing Jam smut.
Author's Response:
Thanks, Luna! Good to know you like tha dirty ;)
10 I love the idea of them being so in love thirty years down the line.
Author's Response: Meeeeeeeeeeeee too! ;)
This is a continuation of The Secret. Maybe he thought she was pretty enough. Maybe he liked that she was plain. Maybe he loved her.10 I like Bold!Pam, but I feel sad for her insecure side. If only she knew why Jim had dated Katy.
Author's Response: Yes, her insecurity is the only reason I see for her not realizing what Jim feels for her.
Some musings from Pam, post-angst. Just for fun.10 Beautiful, just beautiful.
Author's Response:
So glad you thought so!
10 Poor bride...makes me wonder if she knows the history she's getting into. Well-written!
Author's Response: thank you! while you're supposed to feel sorry for the bride, you're also supposed to see that jim loves her very much. he was just reflecting. =)
For the Caught Red Handed and "Nobody knows" Challenges. Sometimes you're so distracted that you get careless and what you think is a big secret isn't such a secret at all. :)10 I love vignettes! They were all very good (and character-appropriate), but Dwight's stood out because of "It actually looks like they enjoying kissing each other".
I would have loved to have loved how Michael found out, but his eternal obliviousness is well-adressed by his vignette's absence.
Author's Response:
2 things...did Dwight stand out because you thought it was funny or because of my grammatical typo? LOL! and re: Michael - You know - now that I think about it I might go back and add him and Creed. Check back in a bit. :)
There are secrets even the closest couples don't share.
10 You sure know how to pack major angst into one four-lined paragraph. Pam's secrets make me ache.
Author's Response: Thanks! Super-concentrated angst for your convenience! :)
10 Yay for the happiness! I was smiling by the end of this. September 21st seems so close, yet so far away...
Author's Response: I know! I'm so anxious for the new season!! Thanks for reading(and reviewing!).
Responses to various Five Things prompts. 10 I love list, so I'm loving this "5 things" theme everyone seems to have going. The title of chapter 3 had me laughing out loud, and I was struck by #5 of chapter 2, until I remembered the title was "5 things Pam never says to Jim". Then all was ok again.
10 I *loved* this. I like it when they get together before everything is so complicated, when it's not about the angst.
Author's Response: I know! I was watching the Booze Cruise commentary today and they were talking about how that was really a turning point in Jim and Pam's relationship. Sad. But thanks so much for the review!
