This was a great story. I really loved the way you described how much Jim loves Pam, especially this line, "I found paradise once lost." The fact that he would go to great lengths for her, making sacrifices without being asked, it's just so Jim. Great job!!

Ooh, interesting comparison. One I never thought would work, but I gotta hand it to you, you made it fit. Good job. :)

Author's Response: Thank you very, very much!

Ah...as one who has ventured into the metaphoric world of teen-Jim and his basketball herself, this spoke to my heart. Very nice parallels between then/now and all kinds of subtle sexiness. And this: Even if she never asked. That there is l-o-v-e. (How'd you do this so fast? I'm having a hell of a time getting anything written!)
Author's Response: Yes, we both have a deep love for Jim playing basketball, my friend. In terms of getting things out quickly...all comes down to a fantastic beta in my case. This little diddy was not exactly ribbon material before Sweetpea got her hands on it. :-)

Heh. I bet Pam was sore the next day, too. But smutty comments aside, I love the imagery you've created with Jim depriving himself of what/who he loves for the better good.
I'm glad she's home, too.
Author's Response: No doubt Pam was... ahem...feelin' it the next day as well. Ha! Love it....Thanks SO MUCH for being such a loyal reader and responder Lisahoo!

Just when I think I can't fall any deeper in love with Jim, I read something like this... Wow. Nice work.
Author's Response: Oh man making anyone's love of Jim deeper is a wonderful thing! Thanks so much Pigeon!

Yep. Yes, this is exactly how it felt, and how he would explain it, and yes. You've robbed me of articulate speech with the rightness of this.
Author's Response: AWWWW!!!! Gosh, you're killing me with this. Thank you SO much Nqllisi!

wow, Lovefool, this is beautiful! Very cool sideways approach to developing Jim's past a little :) Very nice
Author's Response: Sideways approach! I kinda love that description! Thanks so much for reading Untherapy!

I really like the parallels between his love of basketball and of Pam. Very sweet story. You make really good use of Jim's first person voice. It makes the story really come alive.
Author's Response: Thanks so much Morning Angel. Such wonderful compliments!

Fantastic oneshot! I love the comparison you made between his two "loves," and all the self-sacrifice that he had put himself through for them. You really have his perspective down in that regard. The part about cheeseburgers also made me laugh, and now I consequentially have His Cheeseburger stuck in my head. :) Really nice job!!
Author's Response: LMAO. His cheeseburger huh? lol. Thanks so much for the kind words Dundie All-Star.

Simply beautiful.

Well that was a perfectly lovely analogy. Such a beleiveable and creative way to look at it. You do first person Jim so well. (twss). Really fabulous job with this. Yay you. :)
Author's Response: I wish I did Jim well. hehehe. Thanks so much Hugs! Somehow writing in Jim first person often feels more comfortable than Pam first person for me...very strange! Thanks so much for always responding! You're awesome!

I loved reading this, just like I love reading anything of yours. It took me back to my childhood lents. I wasn't one to half-ass those puppies, either...
The "I played for hours and HOURS" part made me laugh lasciviously a la Stanley. Heh heh!
Author's Response: hahaha, I gave up TO spoilers for Lent once...horrible experience. lol. I try not to be a half-asser either.....oh and poor Stanley. lol. Thanks so much for the feedback Grandmutter!

Oh, that was lovely. You really painted a picture here - well done!
Author's Response: Painting a picture is a great compliment shyshutterbug! Thanks for reading.

That was fantastic. Great job.

Aww, what a perfect comparison.
And this is too funny:
My friends wondered why I didn't just go down to the court and hang out. That friends, was like telling an alcoholic to come with you to the brewery -- just to watch and appreciate the process ...
I'm still smiling from reading.
Author's Response: Oh, glad I could make you smile Cheeb!!! and I'm happy you found the comparison a believable one!
