Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Moxie, this was such an amazing story from beginning to end. It so encapsules everything that is great about Jim and Pam. I wish I knew your secret to being so prolific, with the ability to continually create fantastic stories.
I can't wait for Squirrel's trials.
I wish I knew your secret to being so prolific,
I am usually heavily medicated. ;-)
Thanks for the kind words, macolly!!

You should definately keep going with this its so enjoyable!!!.
As to what direction to take it. You must have an idea of where you want it to go. Go with that. Don't skew it to your readers, it would feel forced. We are all just along for the ride :) And your own pacing on this feels so natural
That was so Naughty. A victory indeed. What an awkward conversation that will eventaully lead to. You should write THAT! Hee.
Author's Response: Either an awkward conversation or a baggage-laden secret.....Karen's revenge.
What a great way to resolve the character assasination of Karen post The Return. This is awesome, I didn't know where you were going with this story, but I love it now!. I can't wait for more.
I really, really like this. I think I know where you're going with this, and I can't wait to see it continue.
Author's Response: Thanks macolly. I hope the direction this takes doesn't disappoint you.
Moxie, this was totally awesome. It so made my day. I agree whole heartily with Too Late Kev, we need another 'talking head' (hee!, that is going to make me laugh forever) after he meets Pam. Stat!
MO that was so funny. You and Mox should continue this for infinity. One chapther every Thurday. I like that Cupcake is all snarky. So much of what I believe Pam really is.
I needed some cheering up, so in that vein, here is an incredibly un-angsty little piece of fluff. It's only three parts long and it's almost all done.
Pam and Jim reconnect in the most unlikely of all places...
Wow, update this, like stat!! We all need something uplifting with all the spoilers flying around. This is exactly what my doctor ordered.
You simply must, updat/add to this. It is so good. You have a very unique way of building emotion between characters that gets me all gooey.
Post-beach day and speculation (but no spoilers) for the next episode.
Contented sighing going on over here.
For a split second, I really thought that it was Karen he was kissing. Like this was a prequel to your latest series.
Lovely, just lovely
You guys are a hoot. You have their characters' down perfectly. I loved it!!
"'Jiiiiiiiiim. Come to beeeed,' Pam’s voice is light, and it mistily floats down the empty staircase as it swirls about the room, echoing like a siren’s song."
A series of one-shots. There are times when Jim and Pam's relationship seem a little supernatural.
This was so enjoyable. I really loved it. Great Job. I love fics told primarily from Jim's head.
Jim is nervous about their first date. Spoilers through "The Job".Short, simple, oh so sweet. Nicely done!
Author's Response:
Oooh, thank you! I think it will be very sweet for them, finally!
10 Oh I can't even begin to tell you how much did I enjoy this. I love, love Jim POV fics,and this was perfect.
As someone who has made this exact trek, many-many times, it flows, and feels so right.
I even forgive you for not mentioning the Delaware Water Gap Toll Booth :)
Definately a Favorite!!
Author's Response: Wow, it's great to get approval from the resident Scrantonian (Scrantonite?). I've never driven it, but did take a close look at the map. I'm sure if I did my research and actually made the drive I would have mentioned the Toll Booth.
10 Giddy clapping over here. Finally a TLK fic.
It's comedy gold. I could imagine that this is exactly what happened between Jim and Michael.
I love so much about what you chose this fic to be.
;)
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, macolly. You are my very first reviewer on my very first on-my-own fic! Hall of fame, baby!
I really appreciate your nice comments! Yay!
(I actually did a little "research" over on OfficeQuotes. Michael says 'hard' all the time; no one else says it very often at all! Hmmm... they've all learned, dare I say, the 'hard' way?)
Thanks for being my first reviewer.This fic is so sweet. And this chapter is so nice, I really love the whole balance and contrast of this compared to her last experience at a sporting event.
Great characterzation here too. Well done.
Also I especially appreciate it simply because I'm a girl from Scranton married to a huge Phillies fan.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I was seriously hoping I was right, and people from Scranton would follow the Phillies instead of the Pirates. I hope you enjoy the subsequent chapters as well!
Oh this was so enjoyable. This is what I exactly picture Andy to be as a child. Please say he's kept this list going for awhile, it's just that funny.
Just from season three alone
Don't speak pig latin,
Don't play the banjo,
Don't sing four part harmony into your phone and make it your ring tone.
Sorry, got carried away.
It was very unique, I love - hate - love Andy, and I like your take on where he came from. Especially his seemingly normal parents. Can't wait to read more.
Have fun in Scottsdale, or should I say the Sandals resort in Jamaica. Is that you Urkel Grue?
Author's Response:
If only I had Urkel Grue's gams. And her body in general. Melora Hardin seems to get rid of her baby belly pretty quickly, if she ever even had it to begin with!
The subsequent chapters will pick up at different times in Andy's life. At least one has a list, but it's a different kind of list. I really like your list ideas, though. Sadly, I don't think Andy realized that the pig latin, falsetto accompanied banjo-playing, and self-recorded ring tone are not cool. Sigh. (Actually, I thought the ring tone was cool, so I guess I'm...kinda lame.)
Did you ever check out my story where I used Morning Rest? It was chapter 2 of Jim's Poker story. It was kinda smutty though, so you maybe wouldn't want to read it...!
Thanks so much for your review! As for his seemingly normal parents, I definitely saw myself in the Sarah Bernard role. I've been that mom. I am that mom half the time. And I loved your TWoP post about that Cow Plop thing - I'm going to keep that in mind!
TLK, that was exactly how I wished it gone too. I'm hoping the writers move their relationship along quickly with only a few bumps in the road. A little angst is always good, but not another two + years worth.
Author's Response: I think our wishes will be granted in Season 4. They'll bring back the good S2 Jim and Pam - pranking, giggling and making life in The Office with the crazy inappropriate boss bearable for each other. We had little bits of angst in Seasons 1 and 2, and then WAY more than our quota in Season 3. Ramp up angst elsewhere, guys. Jim and Pam are due some domestic bliss.
Thanks for reviewing, macolly!
Hey, I got reservations for the Scranton Hilton for October. I'm assuming I'll see you there?
It's never too late to celebrate the people you love.Moxie what a charming fluffy story. It's a great way to start my day.
You get big bonus points from me for using/mentioning the Viewmont, as it is really the mall locals use more often. :)
Great Job! and Happy Birthday
Author's Response: Yay! I love making the locals happy. :-) Thanks for your review. It was a good way to start MY day! :-)
It's about damn time -- not only for Pam & Jim to go on a date, but for me to get in on this whole fanfic writing thing. I hear it's the next big thing. Congrats on your first fic. I love the ending. I hope we see more from you. Soon!!
Author's Response: Thanks, macolly. The ending is just the beginning. Well, for Pam & Jim anyway.
It really went badly, and not in a “wacky hijinx that we can laugh about later,” way. Takes place the evening after "The Job"
Oh I really enjoyed this. I love the balance of it being neither fluffy, nor overly angsty. And it also shows in an understated way, that they are ready to fight for each other.
Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you. I think they are finally ready, really ready, to approach this in an adult way. They have both bet on themselves and now they finally can win. Thanks again!
This is totally adorable. You seem to have a good handle on being inside Pam's head.
Welcome to mtt, I hope we see more of you often!!
9 Mox I really love this fic. The argument felt so them. This is exactly how I'd expect them to fight, when they can't see eye to eye.
To an extent I sort of felt that's what was kind of going on in the premiere. Not that it became an argument between them, but more so that it's Jim who wanted to keep what's going on between them super private.
Were you sitting in on the writers meeting earlier this year? :)
50 Wow! Mox, you really weren't kidding, five pages of dialogue indeed. It was all awesome. It was so in character. I am so glad we are gonna get to see the task!!!
YAY!! Finally more squirrel
Author's Response: thanks so much, macolly! So glad you like it so far!
Yet another story inspired by a song by Ingrid Michaelson called Breakable. I really wanted to tell a story about people being just that -- breakable, and ultimately how grace helps keep us from falling apart. So yeah -- a nice fluffy holiday piece. ;-)10 Grown women should not be blubbering messes at their desks during work hours. This was an amazing holiday treat. Well Done.
Author's Response: hehehe, I've been blubbering at my desk due to stress before, so I figure it's ok to do it because you're reading something you're into! hehehe. THanks so much for the feedback Macolly...:::here's a tissue:: :-)
