Bio:
I started writing fanfic before I knew what it was, as a kid in the 70's and 80s, making up stories in my head as I fell asleep about the further adventures of Han Solo, Remington Steele, and the Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I'm just that dorky. But, this Office fanfic is the first I've commited to the printed word.

Five Vignettes that take place right after Beach Games and into the Season 3 finale, The Job.

At this point, Maybe Once pours a glass of "velvety, magenta liquid, and shoves it across the table (a la Drug Testing") at Girl7.

 Because Maybe Once is no idiot, she knows it's worth what's coming.   

 Terrifically in character and moving.  Can't wait for the next chapter.



Author's Response:

All right, this review?  Deserves a freaking Dundie, my friend!  Seriously, my shoulders are still shaking, hee!  I will likely be drinking much wine before I write the next (final) chapter, because there is no way around it: It will involve some degree of smut.  Heh.  It may be this weekend before I can get to it (and really, it'd be shameful if I got all snookered during the week.  I've been trying to stop drinking during the week.  [/Meredith]). 

Thanks so much for the review and for the laugh (and for pimping me over at TWoP -- which just sounds wrong, doesn't it?).  :o)

I.   Love.   Angela.

 And, I really, REALLY love how her assessment of Ryan and Kelly is kind of right!

Summary:

A bit of an AU look at Jim and Pam, and a rather depressing relationship. First chapter takes place following Phyllis' wedding and then it goes from there. Does not take into account the events that take place in following episodes.

 

Not a happy piece of writing, I figured I'd take a different approach from the fluffier post-finale stories. I don't think there will be any fluff in this one.

<cough.>  Well.   Goodness.   Jim needs to pick a vagina and stick to it, I think. 

 But, in the meantime, I have a more serious critique.   I would like it to be a policy going forward that if Jim has got the stamina for three times in one night, than the author has to have the stamina to give each "time" it's own chapter.   Because, seriously?   I'd like to know more.   You know, as a scientific observer, of course.   And a single sentence description is insufficient data.   So, you know, you should really give the particulars on the first two times.   You know.   For science.



Author's Response: Yes...for science...::looks around suspiciously::
The Jim/Pam chapters that are coming up are in more detail, and each time has it's own chapter. ;) If you want detail between Jim/Karen, I don't have anything written for that (other than Chapter 3?).
Thanks for your comment!!

Woosh.  Well, since a) we are going completely over the top with this story in the interest of hotness and b) Jim is the biggest asshole in the known universe here....I'm going to say that the story should end with some evil revenge and a hot few chapters of KaPAM!

Author's Response: I like, I like. :) Definitely see what I can do with that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Jim/Pam smut with a pretty hefty (for me) plot, but LOTS OF DRINKING! Which is always fun.

this is so sweet, and in character......And, on a subtle note that should NEVER be spoken aloud....poor Jim got used to having to "talk out" every.  little.   thing.     It's going to take him a while to get used to being with Pam and getting back into their "water under the bridge" dynamic.

Author's Response: Lol. It's funny you mention that because I very nearly titled this fic: One Night of Talking...Not Too Shabby...............Buuuut decided against it. lol. Thanks so much for the review Maybe Once!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I've been going over the Jim/Pam scenes from The Job over and over again to get a fresh perspective on different scenes. I'm starting to get a little obsessed over the ending now. ^_^

Summary:

Karen takes notice of Jim's little thing for Pam, and she decides to try a little role play...

This? It's called SMUT. Know it. Love it.

Summary:

Begun out of hiatus frustration as an exploration of what we might miss of Jim and Pam's newfound romance, this has grown into something unique and cool, a multi-authored exercise in creativity and obsession.

By the way, we talk about it here if you're interested in saying hi.

Date: May 31, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Imploding

I'm glad that this chapter seems to show Jim looking at his own actions....the first one hinted that his main fault is that he didn't condemn Pam for her Beach Games speech....and I don't think the situation calls for "either Karen or Pam is a villain here!"  Jim is the one in the center and needs to own up for fickle or false emotion...either to Pam for breaking up her engagement over an easily forgotten crush, or to Karen for using her as a buffer and letting her think it was more.  

Author's Response: Hey Maybe Once, thanks for the comments.  I was more trying to make Jim mad at himself for being completely ignorant about Karen's feelings (vs mad at Pam).  I guess since I've taken it upon myself to ambush Jim with an unending stream of angst-bombs, ole Pammy may catch a tiny bit of friendly fire along the way, but rest assured it's aimed at Jim. 

Reviewer: Maybe Once Signed
Date: June 06, 2007 Title: Chapter 4: Man Up, James Halpert

Well, it is a twist, I'll say that.   This is an unusual story.   Usually, the "Jim ends up with Karen" stories are all "Karen is AWESOME! Pam SUCKS ROCKS!" but, in this story, Pam comes out looking like the best person of the three flawed players.   Jim is a total douche and Karen is melodramatic and Pathetic....so, I suppose in a way they deserve each other.   

Author's Response: I'm glad you saw it this way... Pam's supposed to be relatively clean while the dirty dirty Jim overreacts and tries to man up all at once, then deludes himself and takes advantage of the also-relatively-clean Karen's one giant flaw (overcommitted).  She can tell him to f*** off, but can't follow through with it.  I hope you enjoyed the mess.

Summary:

Kelly gives her new BFF, Pam, a gift that sparks her imagination.
