I ache for Jim but could absolutely feel the relief he's getting through Sara. Normally I'm not a fan of introducing new characters (too many Mary Sues), but this one has real character. I look forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Totally agree about characters from left field...which is why I hesitated to write this. But, I liked the idea of a little history to fill in some of Jim's blanks, and as you'll see soon, a chance for Pam to get some perspective on Jim's wonderfulness, so...glad it's working for you so far!

Great second chapter--the whole thing felt so comfortable and real and it's really fun to read about Jim interacting in a non-anguished way with someone who isn't Pam. Can't wait for chapter 3 :)
Author's Response: Thanks!!!

Very realistic! It is so easy to fall into old patterns with exes even if you don't intend to. And Jim finally has someone to talk to so hopefully he won't be going to the shrink or worse (I'm thinking of the very depressing fanfic from fanfiction.net). Now bring on the Jam!!!
Author's Response: JAM is on the way, fear not.

Great second chapter. I ike Jim and Sara's attraction and mutual understanding of their respective situations. Very well done - this pairing could have gone horribly awry, but you made it enjoyable!
Author's Response:
Glad it's working for you...I really think our boy deserves a break! And maybe Pam will get the wake-up call she needs (either that or someone will tap her on the head with a very large mallet - Sara perhaps?)

Aw. I like seeing Jim relatively happy, even if it's with someone else. The fact that I know he's going to return to Pam helps, of course. But at this point in the story I'm mad at her, so go Jim and Sara!
This is wonderful, and so well written. I hope the update isn't too far away,.
Author's Response: As always, thanks for the great review. Writing parts 3 & 4 feverishly...

I really like this. It's very realistic and Sara is really likeable - even though Jim is obviously supposed to be with Pam, this is written so that the idea of Jim and Sara isn't unappealing. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response:
Glad you like it...and trust me - Pam will not be foresaken - I'm too much of a hopeless romantic to let that happen.

So that's why Sara was smiling.... plus now we know who the "friend" was that Jim had sex with after Katy and before Pam. (Or am I mixing in another fan fic?) Either way, awesome story.
Author's Response:
What warm blooded woman would be able to wipe the grin off her face? (But, the other fic you're thinking of must have been someone elses...mine have all been hopelessly JAM-centric.)

You’ve really captured Jim’s emotional pain. “That he’d rub raw the fragile scab covering the wound of what he’d never have with Pam.”
I’m hoping that Sara will continue to be a sympathetic character. Jim needs a friend to talk to.
Author's Response: Thanks...and yes, she's going to be very sympathetic...very.

Interesting idea...can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Stay tuned....

I really enjoyed this chapter - sounds like it will be a great story. I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: A few more chapters coming. Hope you still like it.

Great story idea and first chapter. I love Jim backstory and that he has someone to spill his guts to. Can't wait to read future updates.
Author's Response:
I guess we all invent our own backstories for the characters...glad this one is working for you.

A lovely beginning. Jim really does need someone to spill this all to, doesn't he?
Author's Response: He sooo deserves it. Far be it from me not to give it to him.

Loved this first chapter--and I'm really looking forward to the rest of it. I like Sara :)
Author's Response: Thanks! More to come soon....
