Simply a classic.

It was a good story. I did enjoy it. I usually steer away from the non Jim/Pam stories. It's just my preference. I guess a part of me is glad you didn't say up front that Jim and Pam weren't going to end up together in the end cause I never would have read this, but another part of me is kind of upset I get invested in this story to have it end without a Jim and Pam union. It was a very good story though, just not my cup of tea.

Happy happy day! The right ending, and a wonderful story. Besides everything else you've done well here, you've written a fitting Pam farewell scene, and let all the other characters have a moment with her.

Oh my goodness! I love this so much. You've drawn the lines very clearly: Jim equals stasis and safety and a step back, Ryan equals freedom and a fresh start. This is amazingly good. On to Chapter 13 (and the end... sniff).

It's over! [/Teen Girl Squad]. Noooooooo. :( But seriously, this was SO amazing. I loved that Pam was able to figure things out for herself, because that's so something she needs to do. And you KNOW I'm happy with who she ended up with in the end. Like, grinning like an idiot at my desk at work kind of happy. So YAY and thanks so much for this dawesome story! :)

No garbage throwing! None! Well done :) And thanks for that pic at the end - that just makes it all work somehow! Anyway, great job on this story. More important to me than whether it's Ryan/Pam or Jim/Pam is that shes found her voice, she's being honest, and she's doing what she wants for herself and no one else. Yeah!

Loved the ending. Hee, and you must be very brave to face the wrath of the JAM fanatics ;).

I can't believe it's over. Yet, it ended so perfectly, that it makes it okay. You have written an amzing story here, from beginning to end. This last chapter was so sweet. I love that Karen might move to NY with Pam. I love how you made them friends! I also love your observations on Jim, such as "He's looking at her like maybe she can fix everything that's wrong in his life." Oh and another fantastic line is "When he says her name it sounds like the answer to a question that he's been asking himself for a long time now." Best of all, on this very very sad day (after the Virgina Tech incident) this story just made me smile. So, thank you!

You won't be finding any garbage throwing here. I actually can't believe that I'm saying that because I am the most ridiculous JAM shipper, but I'm not sure that this fic could have ended any other way.
Considering that both Ryan and Jim aren't exactly canon in this fic (Ryan... nice? WTF?! lol), it makes a lot of sense. I'm saying this as a good thing, because it's nice to see a little variation. I'm really glad the Ryan/Pam thing worked out, and most of all, that she's going to his graduation. ;)
Great work!

So even though I kept hoping that you would change your mind and make this a Pam/Jim story... I am completely in love with this. It's fantastic. And I am bummed that it's over. Totally bummed.
It was great!! Great great great. Sorry I have nothing to say other than that :)

yay!!!!!!
well, i want the show to end differently.... but this fic was perfect!

I absolutely loved this ending!!!!! Plus I'm listening to "The luckiest" by Ben Folds it was PERFECT!! i could almost cry

Awwww! Well, I hope your Pam's happy. I do mean that because they seem really good together. Too bad, Jim! You just had to bring Karen along to Scranton!
I really enjoyed this fic! Thanks so much!

I'm de-lurking just to tell you how much I've enjoyed this story. I SERIOUSLY check MTT more than twice a day, just to see if you've updated. Now that the story's over, I kind of don't know what I'm going to do with myself anymore (haha).
Just like most of the people who've commented, I'm a die-hard JAM fan. I never expected to be on board with Pam/Ryan, but by the last two or three chapters, I really wanted them to end up together. You wrote such a satisfying ending that you made the Ryan and Pam hook-up totally believable, while still giving JAM some sort of closure (on Pam's side, at least).
Fabulous, fabulous job. I abso-fucking-lutely love this fic. ;)
Date: April 17, 2007 01:23 am Title: I think when I like someone again, I'll just kinda know.
Yes!!!! Oh, god, I'm so ridiculously freaking happy you went the Ryan route.... gah! I am quite literally shaking with happiness. I wish I could be more coherent right now, but that's totally not possible. I teared up at so many places during Pam's goodbyes... Kelly and Angela and Michael. And freaking Dwight. Oh geez. And Ryan and Ryan and Ryan... I love him. Seriously. If he were real, my boyfriend would be in trouble. Nevermind that I'd be waiting in line with everyone else you've converted.
I'm just going to stop my rambling now, and read this story all over again. Thank you ever so. :)

Though I am very unhappy with the way you ended this, I did enjoy reading it
I hope no one eggs your house.... :)

I'm liking this more and more everytime that I read another chapter. I've just had to separate my feelings about the show from it. I love Ryan and Kelly together, and of course, I'm such a Jam fan. But, you've written Ryan so well. I really liked it that he said, "I’m not Jim [...] Which means that I’m not moving to another state, and I’m not going to go out and find some replacement girlfriend." And, Pam really is trying to do things for herself now. It really takes a lot to get my mind off of Jam, and for the moment, you've captured it with this fic.

Wow that was a really good chapter. So much to digest.
Date: April 12, 2007 02:52 pm Title: It's impractical, I'm not going to try to get a house like that.
Oh, wow, I was disappointed in how Jim handled that situation even before it was revealed that he hadn't dumped Karen yet. There was just something very off-putting and wrong how he just took her out to lunch and made his move and didn't really account for some of his actions and that was just... it. Feeling so bad for Ryan for his obvious feelings for Pam and what he must have had to put up with from Kelly's talk!
Date: April 12, 2007 02:00 pm Title: It's impractical, I'm not going to try to get a house like that.
I must say... despite being a JAM'er... I LOVE where this is going. Ryan is just... SUCH the better guy in this story. And I'm glad someone finally pointed out how mean Jim and Pam's pranks were! You have done a really good job pointing out Jim's flaws. Sad to say it but... I am not loving Jim's character right now. Great writing! Please update before the weekend!! :)

One more chapter??? No!!!!!!!!!! What will I do with myself???
I don't know how you have managed to make me root for Ryan but you have. Well done!
Have I mentioned that I love this??

Holy crap!!! I gasped at this line of Ryan's:
“Which means that I’m not moving to another state, and I’m not going to go out and find some replacement girlfriend,” he says simply. “I’m not giving up on this. I just wanted you to know that so that if you decide to stop running from it you’ll know that the door is open.”
Holy crap!! I didn't realize he was into her like that! Wow...you never cease to amaze me with this story.
And Jim keeping Karen until he knew about Pam's feelings! Double (or is this triple now?) holy crap! Just...wow.
