oh, I loved the "ready?" at the end...that he used to walk her out to her car; that needs to come back :)

Author's Response: Yeah, the 'ready?' has always gotten me. So, I decided to add it in this story because heck, for over the past year...Jim hasn't asked Pam if she was ready. Since they've both taken new steps for eachother, I think it was time to intiate the 'ready?' again. Ahhh..such a wonderful sentiment. THanks for reading and reviewing!

Summary: New technology captured what was going through Jim's brain on the trip from New York back to Scranton.  Here is the transcription.

Guh, that was great.  I starting feeling really anxious at the end there wanting Jim to hurry up and get into the building and bust open that door!  I am all about stream of consciousness fic, and this was a wonderful one :)



Author's Response: Thanks, so glad you liked.  It was my first try at that kind of writing and I was pleased at how it came out.  ALso nice not to have to worry about creating good paragraphs.

I have to say that I would be completely shocked if Jim never said Pam's name when he was with Karen...especially if something like this ever happened.  Yowzer!

Smile by invis Rated: K [Reviews - 17] 5
Summary:

This oneshot is based on a prompt at TWoP to write a fic based on a screen shot from Gay Witch Hunt showing that Jim has a note stuck to his monitor reading, "Smile!" This is what I imagine he was thinking when he looked at it. Oh, so, spoilers for Gay Witch Hunt, sort of.

Date: May 26, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: from the inside out

This detail from the show might be my favorite little background thing ever.  It's just so poignant and perfect.  I really liked that Jim's plastered on smile confused Andy, who, let's face it, is the master of said smiles.



Author's Response: I'm so glad someone pointed out the note to me, because I never would've noticed it on my own.  I don't have an HD TV, and even in the screen cap it's kind of hard to make out, but I just thought it was an excellent piece of background.  And I'm glad you liked the story.  :)  I think people who fake all their own smiles sometimes, ironically, have a hard time recognizing it in other people, so I could totally see Andy having that problem.

Author's Response: Oh wow!!!  I hope I'm doing the art justice in your books.  Thanks so much for tha amazing compliments- thank you for reading and reviewing :)

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.

I LOVE MARK!  He is my favorite fanon character.  Good job with his personality in this one :) I want to see him again on the show...and meet Jim's parents. Awesome.

Author's Response: Thank you! I love the idea of Mark - since we don't know much about him, there's so much to do with his character. The way I wrote Mark, he and I are one of the same. =P

Since you enjoy killing fan favorites so much, you should make it into Clue and make it a guessing game.  And yes, Karen is crazy as a loon, I don't care what anyone says.

WTH? Dutch!? You frickin' crack me up Tessa...what a superb story; oh when will the bodice ripping commence?  Will it be in a hammock as discussed on TWoP?

Author's Response: God, I am still trying to figure out how to work the hammock in! It is a necessity. And I think it's time for some good bodice ripping. I was going to try and hold out, make this progress like the show. But then I realized, hey! This is a friggin' pirate fic. High stakes on the high seas. Bring on the good stuff. So I hope to steam up chapter 4...

Summary:

During Basketball, seriously AU, and is basically just rough angry, revenge against Roy sex.

Angsty to the max.

Author's Response:

Haha, yeah, boy likes his exit strategies. Hopefully something big like everyone getting fired would let him be that little bit braver.

Thanks!

Squee!  That detail with the map was great.  I really like how colloquially (sp?) you write; and that you have Jim recognize his internal monologue. 

Author's Response: Aw, secondrink! Squee back at you. :-)  Thanks for your thoughtful review.  My own little fanwank on Jim (TWSS) is that when he's making those adorable Jim-faces, his mind is working overtime.  Thanks for reading!
