Bio:
I'm turning 30 this year, a single gal in L.A. I really enjoy reading well written fan fiction like that found here on MTT. Jim and Pam are wonderful characters to play with because they have so many flaws, but are still enjoyable and nice people.

This is really beautiful. The imagery and phrasing you use is so lyrical, and it is so THEM. Ultimately this is wonderful insight into Pam and I think you've written her perfectly.

Author's Response: Wow, what a wonderful comment!  Thank you so much!

I feel quite certain it's going somewhere, and I can't wait to see where. 

Author's Response: I can promise you'll find out the general direction pretty soon. Sorry if that was vague, but...well... you'll see what I mean! I'm glad you like it.

Continue to love it, love it! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thanks! I keep saying this, but I really am glad that people like this story. It makes it a lot more fun for me to write. ;)

Date: April 19, 2007 Title: Chapter 8: I was feeling like a creep

Yeah new chapter! I can't wait until Jim gets one of the ones that's a true "love" letter! What will his reaction be?

Author's Response:

You'll just have to wait and see! Thanks for the review.

Of course we remember the story! That's why God invented bookmarks. :)

Anyway, this is great and I can't wait for more!! Good on Pam for asking Jim about the dream girl letters, BTW.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you haven't forgotten it. It feels so good to get back to it, let me tell you. I have missed this story. Glad you liked the latest chapter!

Possibly the most hilarious line in a fanfic ever?? I think so. Indeed, I do.

Reviewer: Crystalized Signed
Date: May 16, 2007 Title: Chapter 11: caught by a wave, my back to the ocean

BTW, I'm referencing the "Hey Pam...You Me Vegas?" whole inner-Jim monologue. Too classic.

Author's Response: Hee! Those lines were a personal shout-out to the bad!fic ending in which they really did run off to Vegas together. Man, I am such a dork!

Dude. This chapter is excellent. I love all of the Dream Girl letters, especially the last two. This is such a great story and it's okay if the updates are slow, just as long as we get them! :) Thanks for writing and I can't wait for more. But seriously, I am swooning over that last letter.

Author's Response: Aw, thank you so much. I really do feel bad about not being able to update as often as I used to, but I absolutely promise that there will be a resolution! And I really liked that last letter too. ;)

Ooh, I love the treasure hunt of places he fell in love with her!  So glad to see an update on this one!



Author's Response: Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing the treasure hunt. Especially the parts that required me to do some "research" with my S2 DVDs.

Date: July 10, 2007 Title: Chapter 15: to follow the sweat down your spine

Aww, that last moment is so sweet and calm.  You set the scene at the restuarant really well.  I also like that up until this point,  their feelings have all been written since Jim decided on his treasuer hunt method.  Anyway - very cool touch.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you're still enjoying this. And yes, I was trying to keep with the letter theme, although I suppose at this point they'll have to do some actual talking. We'll see how that goes... Thanks for the review!

Date: July 27, 2007 Title: Chapter 16: after a deep sleep

At this rate are they going to write out their wedding vows?! Hee, just kidding! My computer broke and I haven't had one for about 3 weeks. Got the new one today and just in time for a new chapter - kismet! Only 2 more?! The end is near :(

Actual review: great chapter, the notes were very sweet and I love the "heat" I feel when you write their kisses and looks.

Author's Response:

Well, I wouldn't put it past them to write out their wedding vows! :P I'm kidding, too. But I think I should warn you that you're not too far off on that whole wedding thing... /epilogue spoiler.

Anyways, moving on, I'm so glad you're still enjoying this story, and I'm very pleased about the "heat" comment. I realize my stuff is super tame compared to so many others, but those are the parts I worry about most just because I'm never sure if I can really pull them off. Thanks for the review! And for your continued support; It means a lot to me.

Yay!  I am SO happy you wrote and posted this chapter, I was beginning to give up hope!  I had to re-read the last 5 chapters and that was fun.  Anyway, this is really lovely and I like all of Jim's DG letters - so cute!

Sniff. SO amazing. Thank you for writing this wonderful story and sharing it with us. I am very happy you posted this last chapter and we got to see what happened with your characters. Congrats on a great job!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks, Crystalized! I'm so glad you liked the epilogue. I've been planning it since the beginning of the story, so I'm glad you're okay with the ending. I was worried no one would care about my characters after so long. Thanks again for your review! You're the best! ;)

That proposal is perfect, as is the "Halpert" and him being all shy. This was a lovely story, thanks for writing it!

BTW, I didn't review those chapters, but the dueling myspace one is very funny. As are your author notes, usually. Does the bf know you write fanfic??

Author's Response: Hee. If the BF knows, he hasn't let on.  I'm a master of Alt+Tab.  I always have several programs open and switch out of Word when I hear him coming into the room.  I'd be too mortified if he found out...he teases me mercilessly for even reading it.  :)
