This is a story about the Merger, and how Pam deals with it and her feelings.
7 This is a good first fic. Congratulations! :) It was a sweet story. The only little thing is that you tend to switch your verb tenses, which can be distracting. If you need help with that or to get some input on any other matter before you post your story, we have tons of nice beta readers, who are just too happy to help with all matters of pesky details. :) Hope you write some more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I've always had an issue of switching my tenses from past to present. I went in and changed it up a bit....and thanks for letting me know about the beta readers. I will definitely utilize that group for next time. Have a good day.
With apologies to Charles Dickens, here's the real story of what finally prompted Pam to call off the wedding. 10 This was just wonderfully done. Wow! What a way to spin a classic on its head, and give a great way for Pam to reflect on her life. Two thumbs way up. :)
Author's Response: Thank you for both thumbs! I'm glad you liked it.
Five ways Jim finds out about Dwight & Angela.10 Awww... You kill me with the cute and the sweetness. I loved this story. :)
Author's Response: Hey, now- just because I feel like I'm dying doesn't mean I want to pass it along! Hee. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
She didn't know what hurt worse; that Roy's family hated her, or that he didn't.
9 I really enjoyed this. It was sad to read, and felt real, but then again it is a painful situation. It is amazing Pam had the guts to call it off when we know how passive she can be. Anyway, I liked this little slice of life, and how it ends with the possibility of something better in her future!
Author's Response: Thank you :)
9 I really enjoy this explanation! I must say, if that was the case, how sneaky would they have been?
Author's Response: Thanks Morning Angel! They've always managed to be quite devious together so it's possible they could pull this off. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Just a collection of confections from a parallel universe where all the Herr’s potato chips in Montreal can’t keep Pam and Jim apart. I hope it’s as therapeutic to read, as it was to write. A bit saucy.10 Wow! The pacing of the story was perfectly sensual. I can't wait to read more little gems! :)
Author's Response:
What a great comment - I really like that some sensuality came through along with the more 'obvious' elements. Thanks much!
10 Mmmm, model Jim. Pam had no choice but to insist so much. ;) I just love these little mood pieces. It is just fun to read about a little (fluffy) slice of life.
Author's Response: Yeah, the model Jim image had plagued me too long - I needed to unleash it (no pun, really) on the rest of you. Glad you're enjoying these and thanks for being such good reviewer - love to get feedback!
10 Jim is adorably unassuming, and I love Pam's reaction to it. It is also very funny to hear Pam retell lunching with Kelly. :)
Author's Response: I do get a kick out of these too as well. Thanks! (and also for being such a dedicated reviewer!)
10 All I can say is, "Awwwww". These two are just too cute and sexy for me to handle. Well, not really, but I really get a bit too invested in it all! LOL
Author's Response: You and me both. Glad it inspired an Awwww moment!
9 Jim is into McGyver, Pam, and pudding. Excellent! ;) It was a good story as always. :)
Author's Response:
Ah, yes, the holy trinity. Happy to offer a little entertainment!
This story follows "Grief Counseling". Ed Truck's death makes Pam reach out to someone.
It was too late to change her mind now. She knocked on his front door.
10 That was a wonderful Michael/Pam story. I love Michael so much, and you captured him very well.
"No, really... if I were to die... would you put a statue of me in the office? I think it would make you feel better. To see me everyday.""Yes, Michael... we'll put a statue of you in the office."
"Can you make it so the eyes light up?"
Priceless!
9 This story has the perfect level of tension in it. I like the line "A good partner can help you through it.” It goes beyond dance, and is the crux of it all. Jim is there for Pam, while Roy isn't always.
Author's Response: Thanks Gen! I was hoping someone would notice that part.
Spoilers through S2
10 That was so sweet! I don't know how I missed it when you initially posted it, but it is really lovely! :)
Inspired by something I noticed about the "Casino Night" kiss.
10 Wow, gorgeous description of the kiss! I loved this line:
He could have devoured her slowly, savored her like a fine wine. She tasted like summertime, and he almost got lost in the warmth of her sunlight.
I bought a new suit and cancelled a plane ticket.10 Okay that was such a good story, but so sad. This just killed me:
And I said, “This really doesn’t change anything. Not for me. I’ll wait.”
I didn’t know what I was going to be waiting for, but I just knew that I would. I let my lips brush against your cheek as I pulled back and when you looked at me, there weren’t tears in your eyes, just a vacancy.
I really hope he wouldn't have waited in vain liek that; that just breaks my heart.
Ryan finds an assortment of junk in Jim's desk. He lets Pam decide what to do with it.10 That was so sweet. I love this story. Well done! :)
9 All the layers of meaning associated with chips! What a powerful snack. ;) I like it!
Author's Response: thanks - I really wasn't sure how it would be received, because it's kind of ....odd. But I stand by my assertion that it's something he might think of doing. (Relating to Pam on her passive/agressive level!)
8 Lovely short piece! I love when Jim and Pam are conspiring together. :)
They sway. Spoilers for The Client (2x07).9 This was beautiful prose. I love the rhythm of the words in this story! Well done. :)
Pure unadulterated semi-smutty Supply Closet Fic. It really serves no other purpose.
9 Ha! You've done good, my dear, for your first foray into smutland. Very funny, and who knew Pam was so organized even when it came to sex? LOL I was almost expecting her to have an Excel spreadsheet for it. ;)
Author's Response:
You never, ever know. Hee! Thanks Gen!
10 Writing this story in the second person was so effective. Wow. Very hot.
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I appreciate it:)
9 I think it is so interesting you decided to write this story with the background of the 50s and 60s. I like that Pam might have an awakening paralleling the women's movement. Of course, all the heat with Jim didn't exactly hurt the story. ;) Can't wait to read more!
9 Protector Jim. Nice. While I am not usually one to beg for more of a story, it does seem like it would lend itself to a bit more... ;) A discussion in the car perhaps? :)
14 9 Very cute! Fun story. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Morning Angel! Just making my own fun here.
Jim and Pam's first interaction after Casino Night was a lovely long, long talk. However, there were a few things Pam should have made a point of telling him.
10 This was so good. Squee! Number 1 is my favourite though for the line, "Nope. I'm thinking I might have to conduct an interstate search." Hee.
