Thank you so very much for this update. I usually read at work and this almost put me over the edge, such emotional writing. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! It means a lot!

You've cost my dearly its now about to be four and I'm sick as hell and have to actually go out tomorrow. But I saw that you had updated and I could not read. I even told me self to wait till tomorrow. didn't work. I usually go back and read the chapter before with the fics I like but I wasn't satisfied with that and had to read from the beginning. Jesus I love this fic so much. Just the writing and imagery is enough really. I could read this even if I had no idea who these characters were. alright now that I've praised you I'm off to bed.
Author's Response: You are just the sweetest person! I'm sorry that you're sick, but I'm glad that you enjoyed. Yeah, staying up that late isn't something I want to do again, but for you, I'll do it.

This story really emotionally affects the reader. The topic is serious, but it's realistic. It's very difficult to pull this topic off using the humorous and amusing characters of The Office, but you truly do an amazing job. I almost cry when I read certain parts of this fanfic. That's powerful.
Author's Response: What you wrote meant a lot to me, thank you! I'm glad that you are able to picture it happening to Jim and Pam because I would hope that I didn't stray OOC. Thanks again!

You have no idea how much I love this story. I just want to see Pam get better, so please, update soon!
Author's Response: Well, thank you! You have no idea how much I love getting nice reviews like yours. Pam's recovery, I hope it's a little easier to read than her depression. But some people like angst. . .like myself.

Wow...another great cheapter. I'm in awe of how you could write such great chapters each time you update. This was clearly a hard chapter, having Pam reveil those details of a terrible experience, especially to Jim. But as always you did a terrific job with it. Hope you keep typing along for another chapter.
This did not suck at all. I will be patientley waiting for more. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review, and for liking it. It's like, I can breathe again when people are so nice about my writing. It's not perfect, but I'm still a little insecure about it.

Awww! Jim's so sweet. Poor Pam. :(
THis is selfish of me, but I'm glad you stayed up till 5 :P Great chapter, looking forward to the next.
Author's Response: LOL, lightbulb. I normally don't like staying until five, but, hey, If you've got the time, why not use it? Thanks for the review! YOU RULE!

Personally...I don't think it sucked so hard. I think it was really, really good. Man, I gotta tell you -- that moment when Jim finally heard "the story" in the middle of that group, I nearly lost it too. I can't even imagine. As heartwrenching as it is, I always look forward to an installment of this. When I saw it on the most recent page I nearly GASPED aloud! lol. I hope the next chapter comes out soon. :-)
Author's Response: I wasn't sure how I was going to write that moment. Sadly, it didn't come out how I wanted it to come out. But I couldn't think of anything else. Nonetheless, I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you for looking forward to such a sad, sad story. I never ever would have thought that anyone would like this. Honestly, I thought I was going to get booed off the site. I was surprise at how welcoming you were about this. And I've really got to know a lot of authors and their own writing. You all are a very warm group. But you made my day with that review, as always!

I just sent you an e-mail privately, but I wanted to say this here.
Thank you.
If your story can convince one victim suffering in silence to seek the support of a loving and caring group of her peers, then you have provided a great service to mankind.
Author's Response: Oh, wow! I'm not. . .really sure what to say. I guess thaking you would be a good start. lol. But I enjoy your emails as much as your reviews. I not sure someone would seek help after reading this, but it would be wonderful if they did

heartbreaking but beautiful...I'm so glad to see this updated and I can't wait to read more and see how Pam continues to get better
Author's Response: Thanks for sticking with the story, JRAddict (how did you come up with that pen name?) It always makes my day when I get a review from you! Even if I don't always comment back (and believe me, I want to).

I was so excited to get an update to this! This is a great story and the best chapter yet. Can't wait to read more.

I was just wondering if this might be updated again. I really liked this chapter and I'm interested to see what happens next.

This story is heart-wrenchingly fantastic. I can't wait for each new chapter. Each is better than the last. I can honestly say this last chapter was the first time any kind of fanfic caused me to cry. Can't wait to cry again :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm always happy when I find out that each chapter didn't bomb. I've done that before with other stories, and it's kinda embarrasing when that's the best I can come up with. But thank you. And I love your pen name.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! You updated! I'm so happy! And sad. This chapter was heart-breaking. But then again, they all are. You really are a wonderful writer, and you're dealing with this topic so well. You have no idea how many fanfictions attempt to deal with this subject and fuck it up somehow. They're almost perfect except for some fatal flaw. This story, however, in my opinion, is flawless. It's perfect. It's so real that it hurts and don't you doubt your quality of writing for a second. This chapter rocked. Hard.
And I can't wait for the update!!! Take all the time you need, because I know that it pays off into something amazing.
Author's Response:
Wow, what a nice review! You always say just the best things. And I love hearing your feedback. I've actually never read an Office-rape story. Are there many? You have given a lot of support, and that means a lot. I wish that I could actually find the time to go back and thank everyone, and I used to do that on FF.net. But it took waay too much time, and then I'd spark disscusions and arguments and suddenly the review board when be a message board. So. In short, thank you. LOL.

This was magnificent. I'm a little (ok a lot) choked up right now. I'll have to leave a more coherent review when I'm not crying like a baby.
Author's Response: Jordon, you are just awesome!! I can't say how much I love it when I see that you reviewed. And I mean that. You say really cool things, and you're very astute and you pick up on the tiny details.

Okay, you and I must differ on the definition of sucking because this was a great chapter. Too short definitely (mostly I just want the entire story to appear now) but I'm improving along with Pam- for this chapter I only had tears in my eyes instead of outright sobbing.
I really like that you're taking her improvement slowly, no miracle cures.
Author's Response: Haha, ya know, I read it, and it didn't sound like me. That's why I didn' like this chapter. But I'm happy that you did. You really notice that I'm trying to make Pam come back slowly, and that rocks. I think the main reason this story is kinda hard for me to write is because I want Pam to be better right now so I can write some of the fluffy stuff, but it's kinda like pulling teeth. That fact that you appricaite her slowly recovery really means a lot. But her recovery can't be too slow because that would just be. . .mean of me.

That so did not suck..I loved everything you covered in this chapter. All of Jim's feelings just tugged at my heart..I'm not great at words like you, so can just say that I love this soooo much. Thanks for writing and can't wait for more!
Author's Response: jollyholly, I always love it when you review. I love it when everyone reviews, even if I don't always show it. Thank you for all the nice words you've written to me as I've gone on with this story, it's really helps me continue.

WOW! What a beautiful chapter. Like I'd say at least 3/4ths of your chapters, I've got tears in my eyes with this one. Thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping the strength to continue something so deep and to not be afraid. I hope you continue soon. Thank you!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much, and I'm sorry you cried! Is it weird of me if I admit that I've never cried once while writing this? I think I'd have to put on some sort of emotional block because if I didn't, I don't think I could write this story. But thank you!

Wow. Athena that was not sucky at all! It's so powerful and I'm so glad that Pam is slowly working her way back! And I love that you're having Jim trying to be there but just can't figure out how b/c tehre really isn't a whole lot he can do. And Becky is totally right after all. He's not always the white knight in armor. Anyways, love it and cannot wait for more.
Oh and one little tiny detail, there was a part up in the middle when you're describing Becky and you say she had a small waste, I think you mean waist. Waste is like garbage. Forgive me if I misinterpreted the line, but yeah :) Just thought I'd point it out for ya!
But seriously, sucha great job!
Author's Response: Oh! Wow! Thank you for the review. LOL yeah, I always get "waist" and "waste" confused with each other. YOU ROCK!

Oh, I was just thinking of this story yesterday, but I couldn't remember the name of it! I'm so glad you updated! I love this story. I hope you update again soon!
One thing, though, you might want to proofread this- I saw a bunch of spelling errors.
Author's Response: I'm glad that great minds think alike! Thank you. Acutally, I did proofread it, I was just so tired that I must've missed them. Trust me, there were a LOT more. LOL.
