Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.
10 Um. I ... um. Need a cold shower, I think? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, Dinkin. That was maybe the hottest thing I've ever read. I literally broke a sweat. And the worst part, totally read this sitting at my desk at work. Heh. My office mate asked me a question in the middle of the chapter, and my face turned beet(heh) red.
I was wondering how this was all going to play out, but DAMN, girl. You've got it all going on here. And it may be wrong(seeing that I'm a JAM shipper all the way) I got the biggest grin on my face when she said Ryan's name. I love this Ryan. And this jealous Jim too. And Pam.. And Karen. And all of them, really. But I do have a question...did Pam say Ryan's name because she was trying to make Jim (more) jealous, or because she's falling for Ryan??? EEEE!!! More please!
Sidenote: I read that edo is going out of town, so if you need a substitute beta, holla!
“It’s Bill Pullman! Or… wait, Bill Paxton?"
It's funny cause it's true! I can never remember which one is which. Hee.
This story just keeps getting better and better. I cannot WAIT to hear what happened with the Jim/Ryan conversation, and I'm really excited about the (possible) Jim/Pam confrontation. Also, why can't Karen be like this on the show? She's AWESOME. You know that there are a gajillion other things that I adore about this story, as I'm starting to repeat myself, but GAH. It's just too good. I'm gonna hold my breath until you post the next chapter. :)
10 Oh, I'm so in to co-produce this movie. SO TOTALLY IN. I literally squealed (again) when I got the update notification. This is truly UST at it's greatest. From both the Jam and Pryan sides. And crazily enough? I wouldn't be upset to see Pam pick Ryan in this story. Not even a little bit. I've said it a hundred times, but I LOVE this so hard it's not even funny. :D
Author's Response: I love YOU! Hehe, and I can just see it now.. "A DinkinFlicka/Starblossom Production..." Hee! We'll need to start making some calls...
WooHoo! You made my morning posting an update to this lovely little fic. And the Titanic thing? Of course Micheal would find it appropriate to show a movie about a sinking ship while they're at sea. Of course. And Ryan/Pam is actually making me a little butterfly-ey in my tummy. And I'm still loving the jealous Jim, or course. I can't wait for the next chapter! :)
Also? You totally need to get Kate and Leo on the phone to discuss this movie idea. It could be Titanic II: This Time It's The Office or something less lame. But whatev. It's an awesome idea.
YOU ARE KILLING ME.
I'M DED. And they haven't even done anything. This story is just completely delicious. How about getting the actors together and making this into a movie. Get on that, would ya? :)
Wow. WOW. This is awesome! Pam and Ryan? I totally never thought that would be workable, but this is great. I cannot wait for more! EEeeee!!! Jealous Jim. EEEeeee!!!
Author's Response: Heehee, you are awesome! Thank you so much and I hope you keep enjoying ;)
10 I was trying to wait until my lunch break to read this, but I just couldn't hold out the extra hour, so. Yeah. I have to say, I hate you a little bit. But only because this story is like my crack. I bounce when I see it's updated, and then I devour it in like ten seconds, then I'm SAD because I have to WAIT. And I do not want to wait. And then I get even more sad, because I realize that everytime we get a new chapter we are a chapter closer to this being *sob* over. But I love it so, so much.
And its not Roy’s callused fingers that are on her skin, or Jim’s chapped lips on hers, and she isn’t lost in that drunken, lonely haze that she was in with that guy from Ryan’s business school. His lips are soft in the way that Jim’s couldn’t be, and his eyes are blue in the way that Roy’s just weren’t.
I cannot believe that you have gotten me to ship Pryan. CANNOT BELIEVE. But I do. I totally squeed when they kissed(I'm at work, just so we're clear. Generally insurance agents in Florida do not squee while quoting home insurance.) True story. That was thisclose to giving me goosebumps. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Oh, and I'm totally getting my rolodex out and contacting my Hollywood peeps. IT'S ON. (also, longest comment ever, I'm on lj as starblossom56 and I'd love to friend you if you have an lj. Feel free to add me if you do. :D)
Jan could use a few pointers. Fortunately, Pam has been taking notes. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. 10 That one is Pam's favorite, because not everyone gets that about Michael. It's the key to dealing with him, really. The key to loving him. Which she does, in a weird, dysfunctional way.
Okay, that made me get all teary eyed. Seriously. You posted two fics in one night, and I read them back to back and I just. I just don't have words for how amazing this is. I love fics that a)go a little past the 'Michael's a bumbling idiot' facet of his personality; b)show that Jan truly does care for him, if not love him, no matter how conflicted she may be about it; and c)explore Pam and Michael's relationship in a non-creepy way; this? Did al of that and more. I think this may be one of my favorite fics ever. Thanks so mych for writing it!
All the lights are changing red to green. From denial to truth in an enclosed space. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Hiatusathon request for Moxie. 8 Eeeee!!! I feel like it's my birthday and you didn't even write this story for me. So, so good. Your characterization with Jim as the "aggressor" was really, really HOT well done, and very in character. And Pam running, but then finally just getting some balls and confessing was just GUH. Love love love. :)
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear starblossom, happy birthday to you!!!
Thanks so much for commenting!
Uh...I'm not sure I know how to react to that ending other than uproarious laughter. I hope that was the intention. The story itself was really good, just the last part...WHA??? And also, HEE. So I guess my response to the story as a whole would be AWWHAHEE. Heh.
9 That was touching and a little bittersweet. Loved it. Nice job. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I feel like a lot about the Karen situation is bittersweet- because she'll be bitter when we get to Jammy sweetness! Hee. Thanks, again!

How Ryan and Pam find each other in the mess of season 3. A chapter to accompany each episode of season 3. Minor spoilers for season 3.
I know it's a little bit AU, but I'm really enjoying Pam/Ryan right now, so just go with it. After all - if you don't want to read it, just don't. No one is forcing you.
7 Oh! Ryan/Pam! YAY! And I'll second DF, here. If you want a beta/someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm IN. I'm all about Pryan fic these days. Hey, Jealousy has ruined me!
Also, LOVE the handle, the only way it'd be better was if it was Princess Sparkle. :)
If I need any help, I know where to find you. ;)
I'm loving this Pam/Ryan thing too - it's pretty freaking awesome, isn't it?
Oh, Captain Oats totally wins over Princess Sparkle any day. :P
Crossover between the Saw movies and The Office. The Jigsaw killer kidnaps Jim and puts him to a horrific test. Like all games with this deranged killer, however, there are cruel twists waiting at every juncture. Updated CH4 -- Everyone is in a tough spot-- How does it all end?
8 YIKES. I was...not expecting that. But! It's really, really good. And I'm in for the long haul. Verrrrry interesting, I love it when I find a truly unique fic, and I'm pretty sure nothing has even come close to this. Yay! I can't wait for more pain and torture!
9 YOU CANNOT LEAVE IT THERE. OMGOMGOMGOMG.
Yikes.
Sometimes you just have to try new things. A Pam/Ryan story that is more about Pam/Jim than you would think.
8 Ooooh! Pryan!!! YAY! I love so much about the things you choose to be.
Honestly, thanks for writing this. I love the Pam you've got going here. I have an affinity for Pam who is strong of her own accord, not because Jim loves her. Plus, not-so-assholish-Ryan! :)
I can't wait for more. TEMP! TEMP! TEMP! Uhhh. RYAN! RYAN! RYAN!
Post finale Jim/Pam. That's all I can say without spoiling people. 9 Oh, that was just awesome. I feel like I've been crying all day, and this DID NOT HELP. Heh. At least it's happy crying, right? Awesome job, beautiful characterization, and perfect descriptions. I could totally see where they were. Thanks for writing this!
8 Oh, MAN. That? Was AWESOME. And exactly how thing happened in my head. I cannot be convinced otherwise. :) Thanks for writing Jim and Karen fairly. That's kind of unheard of these days.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! Yeah, I just refuse to think he took off and left without a word! Heh. I wanted to be fair to both of them- even if Karen was never in a fair position to begin with. Poor thing. Now on with the fun!
Jim's first barbeque was a success and so he decides to have another. Someone breaks into the liquor cabinet and things... take interesting turns.
Jim/Pam smut with a pretty hefty (for me) plot, but LOTS OF DRINKING! Which is always fun.
FINISHED!!!
9 HOLY SHIT, KELLY. I should not have followed that link til I was...not at work. More soon, plz! You are AMAZING. And that was just...GUH. Double GUH.
9 Um...I need some alone time...
Wowza. That was just...damn. Have I told you how I love you for writing this? Because I do. And I'll totally put in a good word for you with Rashida. ;)
10 Okay, first, I should've learned my lesson with the previous chapters and NOT read this while at work. Second, your visual aide made me snort diet green tea out of my nose, so we're almost even for the coffee incident yesterday morning. ;) Third, DEAR SWEET JESUS, WOMAN. That was ridiculously hot. And...hot. And did I mention it was really hot?
Author's Response: We are now officially even. :D
9 I...um. I know Kelly, and she knows how HOT I think her smut is, but MY GOODNESS, LADIES. I should NOT have read that at work. You are both DAWESOME for having the balls to address one of our cultures last true taboos. I, for one, am ALL about exploring every facet of characters and their sexuality, even if it gets a little dirty.
And OF COURSE, Jim kinda wants to try anal. He's a MAN, and I'd be hard pressed(TWSS) to find one who doesn't. And good for Pammy for knowing what she wants, and not being ashamed of wanting it.
8 HI. UM. WOWEE WEEWA, KELLY.
That? Was fucking amazing. I cannot wait for more.
9 AWWWWWWWWWWWW. I know that's obnoxious, but there just aren't enough W's to emote how awesomely adorable this is! So freaking cute, and Jim was totally right. This is a classic. :)
Author's Response: Not obnoxious! I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for your review and I'm so happy that you enjoyed it.
"So, Jim," she started, setting the empty can back down on the table as she returned his cup to him. "Have you ever done drugs?" She leaned in towards him for even more emphasis. She grinned widely at him before sitting back in her chair. [Spoilers up to and including Drug Testing for part one. Part two and beyond set in an AU-version of season 4.]8 Oh SO MUCH LOVE for this! Nice job on making the characterization believable. I cannot wait for more! :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I always worry about characterization when I write things like this, because I tend to do it all in one fell swoop, you know?
A peek into the life of Michael and Jan... in 55 words.
I wrote this in response to the 55 Word Challenge before realizing it was only for Jim and Pam. Phooey. So I'm posting it anyway.
9 Hee! Awww, YAY!
*loves* I think i'm just going to make this part of my personal fanon, because it's SO toally something Michael would think. Awesome work. :)
