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.

Yay! I wondered when we were going to get an update. Can't believe I got my hotel sex! :) Well you got your hotel....pre-sex. You'll have to see what the next chapter actually has in store. Go ahead - laugh. This story really is beating me up. It's fighting me every step of the way. I'm determined to win though. :)
And you are so funny - I have this image of a typewriter with a whip now - sorry!

Oh, I really like this premise! You'ce captured Pam's voice very well. I like these little descriptive bits:
"She could follow directions. She’d always been good at that – following what she was supposed to do."
"...the entire office of Dunder Mifflin-Scranton and God."
"She wondered if she had EVER thought for herself."

"Didn’t Buddah or Sting or someone say something about “if you love someone, set them free…”?
Ah, that was bullshit."
Author's Response: That Buddah/Sting thing struck a chord with lots of folks! Glad you liked it, too! Thanks for commenting, Crystal!

I really enjoyed Pam's "Jim Sodoku" puzzle. That is so exactly how I would try and figure out what was happening in my brain. Glad that Pam is ultimatley relieved with her choice!

"Jim looked down at her, into her eyes that were so much like Pam’s. And he realized: she knew. She knew what was going on." I love this moment. It is so maternal and I can see it so vividly in my mind.
Author's Response: Thanks Crystalized! Glad you liked that bit.

“Haven’t you been that guy for, like, three years?”
So true and so funny! Love B n' C shoutout - hee! Really enjoyed hearing Pam's grandma's advice, too. Oh, I anticipate and look forward to Suite tension!

That kiss is very hot. The whole onion paragraph is so beautiful and a wonderful description of Pam's past, present and future feelings.
Author's Response: Mmm. What kiss with Jim isn\'t hot? Glad you liked the onion thing . . . I understood in my mind what I wanted to say but wasn\'t sure it came across clearly... Thanks so much for your comments!

Oh, Jim, being all noble and what not! Such a good guy. I think that giving her the 2nd reassuring kiss was a good idea. Have a great weekend!

LOVE the headlines - they are so funny and I can totally imagine Pam thinking them! Also love this: "And not just any guy, but her smoking hot best friend guy..."
Oh, Slutty Soap Opera Pam, it's going to be okay!

"Maybe he thought that the best thing he could do was just give her a little time and a little space to work things through so that he didn’t somehow become a casualty of her post traumatic stress."
Jim=Smart Cookie. It's good for her and for him that he goes. Since in this AU she won't have the whole year to "find herself" she could certainly use the 2 weeks! :)

This is really crazy good. Like, insanely good. Here are some of my fav bits:
"So he kisses her, he has nothing to lose.?He loses."
"At some point, he forgot how to be by himself. He needs his buddy to tell shit to. Even if nothing else."?
"A month after the merger, he realizes that he can't remember what it's like to not live a complete lie. No, no, really, Pam is my best friend! Karen is amazing! Pam and I are totally friends again!"?

NOW COMPLETE!!!
"Jim, why don't you tell Pam how you really feel?"
Jim and Pam deal with the stuff that comes with being on a hit show...talk shows, radio call-ins, and press junkets. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but is that really the case? Watch as Jim and Pam deal with being in the public eye and under the thumb of manipulative network producers. The story is told through interviews, transcripts, web pages and photos.

Great chapter - the voice of Jim is really great and I love the description of his eyes. Your writing is very vivid.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much. I'm of the opinion that one of Krasinski's greatest acting assets (besides natural talent, of course) is the expressive nature of his eyes. I'm glad you think I managed to capture some of that.
Thanks so much for your review.

Hey, I work at one of the places on day one! And Creed on Jim Ladd? Lord Have Mercy.
Anyways, good chapter, and once again with the imagery!
Love this:
"Standing on the deck of the ship, watching the moonlight ripple off of the dark water below and feeling the brisk air that was just begging to snow, he had realized that the solution to his problem was actually quite simple."
Author's Response: Oooh! So at least I got my list of "real" things right. I honestly couldn't think of anything for Creed to do or anything the network would want him to do. I figured that he could talk about music with Jim. Thanks for your review. I really appreciate it.

Glad to see another chapter and also glad that Jim has that sense of freedom that comes from getting such a huge load off his chest. I continue to really appreciate the unique format of this story.
Author's Response: Thanks, Crystallized! As bad as Jim's confession may have seemed to him, I've always believed that he didn't regret it. I'm so glad you like the format of this story. Thanks again!

Great chapter. Answers some things and still leaves others unknown. The middle Swank part is lovely to read.
So...Toby, eh?
Author's Response:
Yeah, Toby. I started this story way back in April last year, so it kind of went AU in the Toby regard after GT. So yeah, Anna and Toby are together. Thanks for your review of this chapter and your appreciation of what happened with Hilary :)

The Jon/Pam banter is very good! I really like the premise of this story. I get scared about reading WIP, but it seems like you know where you're going! Good job so far!

I don't blame you for being scared...I'm a little scared myself! I do know where I'm going, I just hope you like it...
Thank you!
