I'm not gonna lie, I really, really liked this. I love JAM and I will forever be happy they ended together, but the part of me that hurt alongside Jim before and after Casino Night is glad to see him getting a happy ending even without Pam.
Thank you for writing and sharing this with us!

I mean...I just...it is so lovely and I was all into it and then -- blindsided. But it is still lovely and heartbreaking and sad and a little bittersweet, knowing how the series ends but also realizing how it COULD have been.

Ow. So much ow... I think that physically wounded me... :) It was really great through, besides from my heart breaking into a thousand pieces.
Author's Response: Thanks, Congrats!

Um, I think you just blew my mind. Great surprise ending!
Author's Response: Thanks, secondrink!

No offense but how can you possibly list something as both angst and fluff?
Also adding: Ouch. And good show.
Author's Response: Angst for Pam, fluff for Jim/Karen. Thanks for reviewing, Alex :)

ahhh oh no!! When he said Karen I gasped, thinking it was a mistake... you are a mean mean woman i still love it
Author's Response: This was written for someone who wanted a happy Jim/Karen w/ a side of regretful Pam. :)

OUCH!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
*cries*
I hate you.
Author's Response: Hee. Some possibilities hurt. It's best to write them down, so they don't hang out in your head :)

no! no! nononononononononononono! If I say it enough times, will you make it go away? Seriously though, great as always :)
Author's Response: Hee, thanks, mcmuffins :)

Okay, I agree that this story needs a warning label!
(I'm not crying over fic, I'm not crying over fic, I'm *not*...)
Author's Response:
Sorry, Leely! :)

oh, god, that is so good and so sad!

That was a twist worthy of O. Henry! I felt gut-punched...but in a good way! What an ache! Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks, simpatica! :)

I noticed that when you categorized this story you put nothing under "warnings". I would like to respectfully request that should you write another story like this that you give it a warning such as "Caution: Breaking Hearts Ahead" or "Warning - hopes and dreams crushed ahead". (j/k). This was an awesome story - I do love that Jim is so happy. I do, sniff sniff.
Author's Response: Ha! Nice, kaystar - thanks! ;)

Well, you certainly know how to pack an emotional punch! And lists are now a very efficient way to break one's heart. ;) Great job shan!
Author's Response: Thank you, pennylane! :)

OK, I realised about halfway through The Coup that I basically want Jim to be happy and smile that adorable smile of his, and whoever can do that should be with him, so...I guess I like this fic. I really do. Hmm.
But the Jamness in me really, really hates you. So there.
I like it, though. Definitely not what I was expecting. Plus there was happy!Jim, which makes me feel happy, so there's the plus side.
But now you need some sort of Jam fic to make it up to us!
Author's Response: Stay tuned to The Paper Bride, moofoot - that should qualify! ;)

ouch....that one stung
Author's Response: sorry - thanks for reviewing, jamjunkie :)

My head just exploded. Really powerful. Great structure.
Author's Response: Hey, thanks for the comment about the structure, especially, bitterpill :)
Date: October 07, 2006 04:14 pm Title: Chapter 1
Aw, so sad. And happy, because yay Karen.
Author's Response: Thanks, Pixel :)
Date: October 07, 2006 02:07 pm Title: Chapter 1
heartbreakingly sweet. great job, eventhough i'm a huge jam fan.
Author's Response: Thanks, rebecca ;)
Date: October 07, 2006 01:47 pm Title: Chapter 1
These new Karen fics should have separate categories: Karen ending/Pam ending:) They story was great of course, but I don't think I'm ready for reading the second kind just yet:(
Author's Response: Thanks, Supervixen ;)

As much as I want Happy!Jim, this still hurt a bit. As punishment, you must now write a very fluffy Jam fic. A new lesson perhaps? ;) Hee.
Author's Response: I believe I still owe everyone a pool lesson - rack 'em up! ;)
Date: October 07, 2006 01:01 pm Title: Chapter 1
Give a girl a little warning!!! I was reading along, enjoying your sweet story and then this giant hammer came out of nowhere and punched me in the gut. Ouch!!
Author's Response: Sorry, kath - this came from a request/challenge on the TWoP fanfic thread. I just like imagining Jim happy ;)
Author's Response: Of course, I also like imagining him angsty enough to kiss other guys, but that's my issue ;)

Oof, you killed me with the PamAngst! Oh, that last line was like an arrow to the heart - the jinx reference and then the mental image of her crumpling up her list made me want to cry. *sniff*
But yay for HappyInLoveJim! I need him to have that unequivocal love and happiness! I loved their giddiness during the wedding, and especially saying "So much" together.
Loved the list theme, loved the story (even if the PamAngst did kill me). You are never not awesome, Shan!
Author's Response: Thanks, Shroom! Glad you liked it ;)
Date: October 07, 2006 12:00 pm Title: Chapter 1
If by wriiting this fic, you've jinxed the office, I'm going to hunt you down and. . . .Uh, very sad, but very well done. Now go write more happy Jam stuff.
Author's Response: Heh. Thanks, diddly day ;)
Date: October 07, 2006 11:52 am Title: Chapter 1
If I confess that my first coherent thought at the end of this was, "Bitch!", you'll know I didn't really mean it and I still love you, right?
Because that physically hurt me. I'm glad you usually weild your amazing power for good.
Author's Response: HA! Yes, I was having an evil moment. Except Jim + Karen are happy, so that's cool, eh? Thanks, Lis! ;)
Date: October 07, 2006 11:46 am Title: Chapter 1
Holy moly!
I like Karen, but not that much. Meanie : P
Author's Response: Hee. Pixel challenged me. Blame her ;)
