Aww!  Nice chapter.  As you can see, I'm catching up with stuff I missed!  I loved how Pam went through Jim's "products" and found the offensive one.

Very nice, WildBerryJam.  I love the paragraph describing the sketch, and just the general idea that the watercolors at the art show had more meaning than they seemed to.

Yes, please keep going.  It not only seems realistic, but I'm verrry (/Jim) interested in what happens next.


Author's Response: Yes! Thanks:) I have the next two chapters almost done so I promise to have them up soon. I'm just saying, I think its time for a little courage and honesty from everyone.

You are demanding.

Who knew I could write haiku.

It surprises me.

I still enjoy this.

These two are not doing well.

They should break up soon.

 



Author's Response: Wow I don't think I've ever liked anyone more than I like you in this very moment. Please don't be scared. Seriously, awesome haiku. I really appreciate you reviewing!! And don't worry, there are two chapters left. I'm pretty sure we all suspect where this is headed. 

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: March 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

No haiku request.

So I will not write in it.

It takes way too long.

I continue to enjoy this.  I love this: "and now, apparently the whole office is worried for my safety. Which is just awesome.”  I could picture Jim saying that.  I love the whole phone buzzing texting going on in the prior chapter.

I enjoy the last kiss description and the taste of regret, as well as Karen drinking wine in her underwear in the dark. (Wow, I hope this was all a Friday night; I think we're all assuming it was.  They all need the weekend to sober up and avoid the aftermath for a few days.)  I really like the last sentence about Jim needing what he always almost had.

I look forward to the next chapter and have enjoyed getting a possible background of Karen's mindset.  Hey, is this the day on Lost when we do Karen's backstory?

Oh, and you can't scare me off by liking my former haiku review - I'm glad you did.   



Author's Response:

I can't thank you enough for your consistent reviewing. Seriously, it really helps to motivate me and it means a lot! Thanks!!

I'm split on the Friday thing, because doesn't the office have casual Fridays? I see no casual attire. I want fun!jeans. but I really can't imagine it being any other day of the week. It would be great though if we had a scene of the next day and you see that the entire office has called in sick. Mental health days all around...

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: March 05, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Me again.

They discuss casual Fridays on one of the commentaries, I think.  Possibly the one where they talk about the fun jeans.  It was one of those things that was mentioned and never continues (like the "annual" events we only see once).

When Jim and Pam tricked Dwight into thinking Thursday was Friday, on the ACTUAL Friday (when Dwight came in after noon), no one was casual.

Sorry if reviewing is the wrong way to tell you this: I don't know another way... 



Author's Response:

BUT I WANT FUN JEANS!!! Yeah you are totally right, there was no casual wear that episode. I'm completely impressed and a little sheepish by your superior office episode recall skills. I'm ashamed. Clearly I'm overdue for a dvd rewatching. Oooh also, I think my next fic will be about what happened to casual fridays. 

I should probably put my email in my profile or something but for now this worked. It is too cloudy out for smoke signals. Thank you!! 

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: March 07, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

I didn't really get the very last line (footsteps, footsteps, waves) or the absentmindedly lazy rubberband.  I love the finally! and the suddenly! - I think you could just start that sentence with "It manages to be both..." and it would work as well, and not cause me to think "hey, what the heck IS an absentmindedly lazy rubberband, anyway?"

The 1st sentence is such a great start; I especially like the nervous glances and flushed cheeks.  This sentence made me fill in the background that Pam didn't make a big confession of love to Jim, since I would think that would have led to a pretty quickly bonded couple (I'm coining the phrase "full frontal dating"), rather than tentative steps.  I could definitely see either thing happening and being in character, and I really like how you described it.

I enjoyed your tale.

Feel free to write more fanfic. 

I will still review. 



Author's Response:

Those are great comments! I have tried to tweak both lines so it better conveys what I was trying to get across. I really appreciate your honesty! 

Thanks for all your reviews. I've really appreciated them along the way. I'll watch out for you in the future. :)

Hey, the cameras have been in Jim's place before.  We need to see the new Casa De La Halpert.  And Pam should be right there when we do, sitting on his couch in his Hooter's T...

Just like you know will happen, Jim and Pam get together right before a long hiatus. Here is how it all plays out in my happy head. Happy and saucy-- this one starts off all squeaky clean, but quickly earns a "Whorish!" from Angela and a "Niiiiice" from Kevin.

MaybeOnce, remember "there's no such thing as too much smut."  Feel free to use that as your mantra.

I love the part in the tub (yes, the all fours part!) and the quiet cozy time in front of the TV, which you did a great job conveying. 

Thanks for this! 



Author's Response: I am a firm (TWSS) believer that if there were more Jim and Pam smut in this world, we would be well on the way to achieving world peace.  Thanks!

I'm enjoying this and happy to read as many chapters as you find it takes.  I love when Jim is trying to come up with the scenario under which he'd bust up a bar, and the whole "manly" section.  

And hurray, a decision to end it with Karen! 



Author's Response: Yeah, I couldn't help but think as I was watching that scene, Say what you will about Jim Halpert; he would never do that.  I love it that he's not got that oafish, hyper-macho streak that Roy has.  Thanks so much for the review!

Girl7, feel free to drink (responsibly) and write.  We like the results!  I was so glad Pam made that u-turn!  I've been enjoying this story.


Author's Response: Hee, I so will. :o) Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed

I love the splinter story.  

When (it better be when, and not if) they get together "for realsies", I could see them being blissfully and intensely overwhelmed like this.

I always vote for more chapters.  And steam.  Or smut.  I'm easy (that's what she said! Or I said!) 



Author's Response:

I just hope that when they get together (and oh yes, it'll be when - G. Daniels will have a mutiny on his hands otherwise), we get to see something like this - a date, away from the office.  How they'd justify that within the documentary conceit, I don't know...but they could find a way, right?

Thanks for reviewing!

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: March 12, 2007 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7

girl7, this is all kinds of good. I love the Kelly and Kevin contributions to the already awkward vibe on Monday morning.  

I also really like the couple of weeks dancing around each other in the office after Jim and Karen have broken up.  A bit of letting the dust settle before starting the new relationship. 

I look forward to the final chapter (but don't apologize if the final is really 2 finals - we would never complain about too many chapters, girl7).



Author's Response:

Hee - I'm hoping (against my better judgement, actually) that we get to see some immediate fall out from the Big Bar Bust Up of '07 - because I imagine Kelly and Kevin would have much to say on the matter.  :o) Glad to hear that you like the pacing here - as I wrote in my previous review response, I'm inclined to think that they probably would take it at least a little slower...

Thanks for reviewing! 

 

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: March 10, 2007 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Sad.  It's much harder to see a break-up with this sympathetic Karen.

As for more chapters - we like more chapters.  We live for more chapters.

This line "It occurred to him rather randomly then that he'd always wanted to cringe when she called him babe"  came right after I was cringing because Karen called Jim babe.  I don't think they're "babe" close.  (When one of you is actually in love w/someone else, yeah, you're not that close!  But she didn't know that then.)

I like that Jim goes right for the crux of the matter (that it was love and not a crush), instead of talking about the fact he wasn't really sick and something big happened last night.   

I love the variety of these post-Cocktails stories.  I can't get enough!  I look forward to the final few chapters. 

 



Author's Response:

I want you to know that I smile every time I see your username, because I think of Jim saying that.  :o)

Glad the "babe" thing skeeved you out - that's what I was going for (well, sort of - heh).  Yeah, I thought about having him get into all of it - the engagement and his night with Pam (the previous evening), but I decided to just keep it simple instead.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

This is so nice.  I like how Jim apologized for not giving Pam time before.  They each seem to be understanding what the other has gone through here.  Yay!

Author's Response:

Ah, thank you so much, Too Late Kev (love your name, BTW) -- that's actually one of the angles I was going for.  I kept hearing in my head the line, "I forgive you."  Sad that I can't remember if it made it into the final version (and can't go check, lest I lose my response here), but it's funny that yout mentioned it.  These two need not just to clear the air, but to really have the catharsis of acknowledging what they've both gone through.  I see on all the message boards so many people siding with either Jim or Pam, but as I see it, they've both suffered immeasurably as a result of nothing more than simple human folly, you know?  So sad. [/Pam]

Thanks for the review!
