Vignettes II by Colette Rated: M [Reviews - 41] 13
Summary:

A few light bits and pieces I'd accumulated (have written enough angst lately, thanks.) Since they were just languishing, I figured I'd resurrect Vignettes and send them out into the world. Each is a stand-alone, NOT a chapter in a work-in-progress, so feel free to jump in and out. (I'm thinking there will be 3-5 pieces, but will have to see how the mood strikes me.)

If I owned these characters, would I be writing this stuff? Seriously. No copyright infringement is intended.

Wow, wow, wow.  This is all kinds of good.  But you know, it's not REALLY Dark!Jim.  It's Inner!Jim, and totally understandable.  I love both chapters of this, and hope for more.

Author's Response: This is THE darkest thing I have ever written. And I've been a professional writer for ten years. My personality is just more like Kelly's, you know? So I have to think and think and think and talk to guys and more guys and more guys before I can write this stuff. It's really hard. (TWSS)

Turnabout's Fair Play by ficklevillain Rated: T [Reviews - 149] 29
Summary:

A series of drabbles, set after Back From Vacation (with some slight spoilers) and deviating from there. Pam makes Jim face the same difficult decision (and consequences) that she had to deal with.

Each drabble is 100 words according to MS Word, so if the summary says otherwise...it's lying. :0)

I have really enjoyed this.  I wondered all along what the sketches were.  It was a great twist that Dwight took upon himself to add those!  I think it would be fine to continue if you it fits in well.  Otherwise, you could call it done since it is so nicely wrapped up, and go on to something else.  I think I will figure out how to mark you as a favorite author, so I hopefully will not miss the next thing!  

Thanks so much for your work on this.

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: April 14, 2007 Title: Chapter 28: Jim

I think this one's my favorite so far.  I loved this whole part of this week's episode, so to get Jim's POV on it is really cool.  (Of course Kevin's lines were so amazing, said in that odd Kev inflection - "for years".) 

Interesting that you say Jim hates when Karen leans against his desk!  Gee, Pam always used to do that too... wonder if he hated that....

Love this: "She doesn't mention Kelly and Creed. Or the way you stood with Pam in the parking lot. She never asks how the two of you knew Michael's plan, just by looking at a bouncy castle or what the knowing glances between you meant."

It's especially fun seeing these when they refer to the week's episode!



Author's Response: Ah, very perceptive. Jim loved it when Pam leaned against his desk. ;) At least, in my world, he did.

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: April 10, 2007 Title: Chapter 25: Pam

Wonderful.  This is so good.  I've actually enjoyed this all along, and I have NO idea why I haven't reviewed... sorry.

This is a great line: "She'd caused a bar fight, an office attack and a job loss - all in the span of a two days."  Of course my crazy mind imagines her saying this to someone, and the reply is "Well, you've got to start somewhere!"  I know, I'm sick.

I found that break room scene so heartbreaking.  Now we know why it's called the "break" room, right?  Poor Pam.

I really like your list of images and the following lines. 

I think you said this story has a stream of consciousness style; it definitely works for you. 

My one suggestion for the future (you probably don't want to change this one for now) is to have unique Chapter titles.  It's always hard to tell where we left off when all the titles are either Jim or Pam.  Mind you, I will re-read and figure it out, but it would be easier with unique titles.

I promise to be a faithful reviewer from here on.

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed

I like this chapter.  This part is my favorite: "Roy does know me.  Not the way Jim does. The way that weakens my knees (God, I'm being cheesy), that encourages me and makes me laugh, convicts me and drives me to be more than I am. The way that doesn't require words. Or... didn't."

I hope they get back to this kind of communication!

Reviewer: Too Late Kev Signed
Date: April 10, 2007 Title: Chapter 26: Jim

I love this chapter.  Seeing some of the inner workings of Jim's mind regarding Dwangela? Priceless.  I love how he figures out that Pam knows, and that you've quoted that amazing exchange between Jim and Pam from E-mail Surveillance.  

I love any reference to Veronica Mars and/or Kristen Bell.  They are probably not on Kelly's "things that are a-may-zing!" list, but they're definitely on mine.  And I love the thought that Jim has a thing for Kristen Bell.

I'll be here when you have more! 



Author's Response: Who doesn't love Kristen? ;) One of my friends and I have discussions about how we're sure she'd be our friend... if she knew us! Silly! But I've noticed guys like her too, my husband does for sure, so Jim's gotta love her!

And that note on your last review about the chapter titles. Totally there. I get confused when I'm uploading as to who is next! I really didn't expect this story to be as long as it's turning out... so I guess that's why I started that way. Oh well, next time!

thanks for reading! Glad you're enjoying it. :)

I was really hoping for some sex on the beach.  I mean, come on, isn't Jim in his BOXERS???  Other than that, I definitely enjoyed this, especially Pam drawing Jim and him thinking she "modelized" him.  I'm not sure Pam would have said "pop a squat", though.

I have stayed at a Country Inn and the room was fantastic AND they had free Starbucks brand coffee in the lobby, so... yeah, they're pretty great.

What happens next? 



Author's Response: Now I feel kind of mean to Country Inn...  J.K. Country Inn!

Dwight and Mose on a practice date!  Is Dwight's girl voice as good as Jim's ("is this Salvadore Di-chini...")?

I loved catching up on everyone's evenings.  The Improv class plays "ditch Michael"!  The Kevin and Stacy section was among my favorites.

And... it really looks like there won't be a lot of people at Michael's birthday tomorrow.  Maybe a little triangle, though - Jim, Pam, and Karen?  (Unless Karen has, you know, died in the night.  Flash flood.  Maybe wolves.) 



Author's Response:

hmmm, possible. Maybe even flash floods AND wolves.

I betcha Dwight's girly voice is 100% creepier than Jim's if you're willing to lay odds.

I have this friend named Kev, I mean, Malone, no, um... Darn!  I love how Jim thought Pam was talking about herself!

I think you mean Dwight took a different tack (like boating), not tact (which I may not have a lot of). 

I think Mose failed in his deportment lessons.  Crawling in a restaurant is just not polite. 



Author's Response:

Thanks for the tact/tack catch. I make that mistake all the time and I have no clue why. Maybe because I grew up in the desert so I have no nauticalness in me. Nauticalness? I don't know where I get this crap.

 

I'm just glad there were no handy coffins or I'm sure Mose would have tried to hide in one of those. Talk about not polite.

And you know what you said in the elevator yesterday…” He knew as soon as he said it, he’d gone too far.

She got that look on her face. The ‘I’m all business now; you should get back to work’ look. He hated that look. He sighed and went to his desk. He checked email. He returned some voicemail. He hated Mose. Muggins, that was awesome! It reminds me of her very sudden "swaying isn't dancing" friendly Pam to cornered semi-hostile Pam in 2 seconds.

Oh, the Kevin/Meredith talking about Karen scene is awesome.  And ending with RUN! - it made me laugh.

"Curses!"  (Do I detect an implied "Foiled again"?  In any case, I inferred one.  I love Her face lit up in a smile and he knew it had been worth it  after that.  Sweet.

Ben Franklin!  Gordo!  I heard that Ben Franklin had syphilis (or is it syphallus?).  Maybe they should give him some of those condoms, but I'm not sure who he'd use them with.  NOT Pam.  NOT Jim.  Ryan.  Yep.

Welcome back to Girly-Girl, Muggins.  I guess you and your sister must have come to an agreement (cage match style...).  

I loved all of Michael's messages, and Creed sleeping on the couch (but Pam doesn't know he lives there half the time!).  Kevin, of course, with Staaaacy in the background.  And Pam answering the phone just in case it's Jim.  Calling to check on the condom supply.

Last night, on Amazing Race All-Stars, one of The Blondes said to the other something like "Good job, girly-girl!"  I thought of you.

I'm glad there's another chapter... 



Author's Response:

We cage-matched and she won (barely) so no hot Jim and Pam sex. Luckily I got that all out of my system with the Kama Sutra thing (hopefully). Maybe I'll have to write a '50 ways Jim seduces Pam' thing.

You're not going to let those condoms go, are you? (TWSS)

I don't know what Pam's drawing.  Is Throop PA where Michael's condo is? 

I love how Jim is really just thinking (way ahead) of what gifts to shower on Pam.  Sweet!  (And nice shout-out to Moxie!) 

I love how Angela is spying on Dwight, and he's just so morose.  And beet-sugared marshmallows!  I just checked my pantry; I'm out of those. 

So glad you and your Sisbeta have come to an agreement. 



Author's Response:

Pam's drawing a map. Throop is a random suburb of Scranton. They're putting stuff on the map all over the place to keep Michael busy. There's no rhyme or reason.

Moxie's Antiques really exists! I've been waiting frickin' 30 chapters to put that in. I'm still waiting to put in stuff that I've been holding since chapter 27! It's going to take FOREVER!!!

beet-sugared marshmallows - nutricious AND delicious.
