Jim, Pam, manicure.
9 I think I need a Jim servant to do my nails, show me to play basketball, bake brownies with me,... He would be very useful around the house. ;)
It was just the perfect little pick-me-up story. :)
Pam is not the safety officer. Spoilers for Basketball.
9 I did think it was Angela because I figured she would never relinquish her First Aid kit willingly! LOL I love stories where two characters get to share a little moment. So much fun to read.
Series of drabbles on random subjectsI loved this piece. So simple, but very evocative.
Author's Response:
Thank you, I appreciate that.
10 Awww, hanging out at a bookstore before going to the movies! That is a perfect evening. Oh, and I love protective Jim. It is not a date but the best evenings are spent with friends so it is all good. ;)
Author's Response: It would pretty much be my perfect evening, so yeah. Protective Jim is hot. I'm all for women taking care of themselves, but sometimes...it's nice for the guy to step in.
10 I just adore those stylistic exercises. You play with language so well; this was a truly gorgeous piece.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. Language is my favorite plaything. I really appreciate it.
9 Eroticism in wheat? I will admit that made me giggle! This was such a lovely piece as always. :)
Author's Response: First, thank you very much for the "as always." Now, I realize that wheat isn't erotic, but Pam is repressed and missing her soul mate and (really?) probably very horny. So if anyone could accomplish it, she could. (Maybe she put nipples on the wheat? I can't believe I just typed that!)
9 Well, it totally works for me. :) I could imagine Pam finally deciding to act, and not stopping until it is all over. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks. I imagine her being panic-stricken once she gets it all worked out.
10 It is great that most of their connection in this piece is unspoken. I can imagine their looks and touch. Wonderful!
That was such a lovely description of Pam's apartment. So much for Jim to love. :)
Author's Response: Thank you
Jim and Pam, overheard.10 How much do I love that story? Many of my favourite things, all in one place. You rock.
Author's Response: Thanks bunches, Morning Angel! ;)
Pam's girls take her out for a last night of freedom in the big city.

Future fic, but with some imagined back-story for Jim as well.9 I am really enjoying this story so far. I could see Jim with someone like Sara, and it is nice for him to have someone who he could be honest with. Plus, he deserved a little bit of non-tortuous passion in his life. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I agree, Jim deserves a little something. So glad you're enjoying the story!
9 I like that Sara was there to shake Pam a bit. Jim needed an advocate for his case. :)
Author's Response: I agree. And I have to say, it was easy to project myself into Sara...as much as I love her, Pam needs a good shaking.
9 Awww... I am a sucker for happy endings. I'm so glad he gave her a do-over...errr, second chance! ;)
Author's Response: Glad you like it...but it's not (quite) finished yet...I think there's one last little bit left in me - though, not another do-over!
9 Awesome ending! I really enjoyed this story. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much...really glad you liked it. The ending was really fun to write. (I'm also glad it's still getting read, now that it's moved down the ladder off the first 'most recent' page - so many great stories being posted here lately!)
Pam makes a choice.9 Wow, you were able to pack so much in so few words. Pam feeling pulled and restrained from what she wants to do by Roy, even though he probably means it in a loving way. Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks! Roy's not even aware of it, but that doesn't mean he isn't doing it.
8 They need to talk, but they do so in signs. Cute.
Author's Response: Thanks, Gen :)
Jim and Pam don't know that someone is listening at a crucial moment.
8 Eavesdropping Kelly! That was cute.
Author's Response: Thank you!
9 Oh, the torture for Roy. As wonderfully fluffy and sweet as Jim and Pam were, this story made me cringe so much for Roy. Poor guy. The idea that Jim and Pam had their first date at Chili's is hilarious.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I just totally see Jim thinking it is hilarious to make her go back to the scene of the crime, but also feeling really sentimental about the place because she first kissed him there.
Yeah, poor Roy.
Jim and Pam are a couple. He asks a question. She contemplates.9 Nothing like sexy banter! Well done. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
9 "He may or may not have a box knife in his drawer upstairs. It's not important." What an awesome line. And then Jan imaging him next to the shower tile? So funny. Very entertaining piece, Shan. People would do a lot for Roy's beard.
Author's Response:
Apparently! Thanks, Morning Angel ;)
Response to the Overheard challenge. A couple has an important conversation at the bank. 10 I think this story really turned out great. I have a lot of love for the ending. Awesome. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your help (and feedback). The ending is near and dear to my hear as well. Thanks!
Someone has to take up the slack...9 This is a lovely Pam/Phyllis story. Someone had to carry on the pranking. So funny.
Author's Response: Thanks! Phyllis totally would miss the pranking, wouldn't she?
The ten minutes between Jim's confession to Pam and the kiss in "Casino Night", plus the moments immediately after the kiss.
9 Lovely first fic! I'm glad Pam took a bit of action at the end there.
By the way, could you possibly add the standard disclaimer to the beginning of your fic? Thanks.
Thanks for the review!
And I added a disclaimer. Sorry about that; I had thought the general disclaimer built in at the bottom of the page was enough.
Sometimes you double check to see if you can hear a dial tone.
Then again...sometimes you might be too distracted to bother. ;)
9 This was cute. I think it is a nicew, new take on the kiss. Go Mrs. Beesly!
Author's Response: Hee! Thanks! I just think I'm afraid I've done so much post-kiss stuff I'll start repeating myself. Glad to know I haven't yet! ;)
