On that was sad.

this is so painful to read, and i mean that in the best way possible! beautifully written, just heartbreaking in its content.

It was sad, but it was really well-written. In the real world, Jim and Pam would likely end up like that, which is why it is so good that they are fictional characters! LOL

Now that we see how bad it could be...it's got to turn out better than this.
At least it'd better.
Sure it was angsty but...simply great.

Oh wow. VERY angsty. Life turned out very sad for the both of them here.

Heartbreaking!
Author's Response: Hope I didn't get you TOO depressed :)

Wow, this was really, really well written. Sooo angsty. I really hope it never happens,though, because sadJim=sadMe.
Again, great job!
Author's Response: Oh yea, I hope it never happens either. Hope it's not some self-fulfilling prophecy thing...
Maybe I should stop writing depressing fic.

So depressing and sad. But, so perfect and plausible. Beautifully written (as usual). I do love it, even with the angst.
Author's Response: Yea, angst is depressing, but what's Jam without a little unhappiness?

In my lit crit courses, I learned that we can ignore "writer's intent". So, I'm pretending that it is Roy, and not my poor, sad, perfect Jim, who is calling in the middle of the night.
Because otherwise I'm going to have to kill myself. (Seriously, this was beautifully written and perfectly constructed.)
Author's Response: Haha. Yea, I think ignoring my intent is the best way to go, because - as I've said before - here's to hoping it NEVER happens.

Beautiful and sad.
Author's Response: Thanks, Willow! Btw, I did read your "When You Are Ready" and "Ready" fics, and I have to say:
Whoa. Hot.

oh wow, beautiful and very sad.
Author's Response: Thanks! I was feeling very angsty about Jam for some reason or other.

Great sad story. Really good concept, and well-written. I like that Jim ends up married, and yet still calls her. And this: "Except that she cries a little because life turned out just the way she thought it would." is totally perfect and heartbreaking.
Author's Response: Thanks, neptune! You know, it's interesting you should point out that particular line, because Pam has always struck me as the kind of person who *knows* exactly how her life is going to turn out. Not that she doesn't have dreams every now and then, but I don't think she's ever doubted that she'd never really follow them.

This is so heartbreakingly sad - "And because, sometime back, she heard something about him getting married, and she remembered not feeling anything at all." Wonderfully written.
Author's Response: Thanks, kaystar. Hope it didn't get you too depressed :)

Wow, that was so good. Sometimes you have to put awful things "to paper" just to know you've faced the worst possible scenario.
Author's Response: Thanks, nomadshan! Yea, totally feel what you mean about putting down the worst-case scenario. Here's to hoping it NEVER happens, eh?
Date: July 29, 2006 10:03 pm Title: Chapter 1
Oh, god, are you trying to kill me? Oh, the angst.
Very well done, and very damn depressing. Nice work!
Author's Response: Aw, I didn't mean to depress you. Actually, I probably did. But only because I'm feeling Jam-angsty now, heh. Thanks for the review!

Guh. I never have really imagined Jim getting married to anyone else. Made me feel a bit queasy, to be honest. That just goes to show how well this was written.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yea, I felt a little queasy writing it myself, but I wanted to see how Jim getting married would look on paper. *sigh*
