oh wow, this has been one of the best stories i've read here at MTT. great job beer me five! i think i'll keep this short, but i'm thinking that jim died. i wanted him to live throughout the whole story, but reading this chapter, and seeing how everything was wrapped up so nicely - it just made sense, it was his time to go.
great job, you've written a masterpiece, congratulations! i can't wait to see what else you come up with.
and one last thing, usually when i finish a story i feel really sad, sometimes mad at the author for not continuing any further, but i think this actually had a very satisfying ending, even though we didn't see the result. great job with this!
Claire (p.s., i'd give you a 16 for this one if i could. but alas, just a ten will suffice - i sound so shakespearean!)

very, very nice. i loved jim's line of 'you got laid, didn't you?" that was great! sorry i haven't read in a while. i don't have much time with all my homework, but we got an early dismissal day today, so i've got a little bit of time. one more chapter, and back to work for me!

Oy indeed. You sure as heck now how to hit me in the grief bone! I won't cheapen this by a long and rambly response, I'll just say it was beautiful. I had tears in my eyes. And if the way I interpreted the ending is correct, they will live very happily and peacefully together forever. Awww. You had me captivated throughout so great stuff.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the story!

Truly amazing ending. Loved it. I'm of the ridiculously dark mindset that Jim didn't make it (breath of fresh air, aren't I? ;) ), but he's happily united with Pam somehow/someway.
Beautiful story.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

This is has been and continues to be an incredibly compelling story and I've been following throughout (sorry I haven't been reviewing more!). It's so painful but in a really good way because the emotions, drama, tragedy, Jim's wry sense of humor, Holly's patience...it's combined to make a very interesting, intriguing and heart breaking story.
I have to admit I downloaded hoppipolla AND watched 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' (very cool movie btw) right after reading this story and I will forever associate both with your writing. I hear sigur ros and I'll think of the two of them listening to it in happy times before they lost each other because I'm a sap like that. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you round up this innovative piece but I wanted you to know I've been enjoying it throughout, so thank you for it :)
Author's Response: Aw...thank you for reviewing, and I'm so glad that you watched Eternal Sunshine. It's one of my favorite movies, and I thought it was important to mention it, because I think that with each Pam story that Jim tells, he falls in love with her more. Pretty similar to the movie...except Jim's not getting his mind erased.
And I'm glad you downloaded hoppipolla. It's one of my favorite songs, and I thought it would be something that Jim and Pam WOULD listen to on a cold night, sitting together. :)
Thank you for reviewing!

Gosh this is a great story. It's so dark. I had tears rolling down my cheeks the whole time
Author's Response: Thank you! Sorry about the tears though...I got a little misty eyed while writing certain parts though...hehe.
Date: September 25, 2009 06:10 pm Title: Chapter 6
Wow. Where to start?
I adore Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. One of my favorite movies. So the references were fantastic.
Next. That was absolutely heartbreaking. The reason Jim was waiting for the surgery makes sense, i suppose. Pam was driving him to the hospital when she died? :'( I may have teared up. Just a little.
Sooooo...that cliffhanger. not very nice. I suppose I'll forgive you if you update sooner rather than later... ;)
Great job, beermefive!
Author's Response: Sorry about the cliffhanger! I REALLY hated doing that, but the chapter itself was around 12,000 words. I had to cut out some parts because they didn't add to the story.
As for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it is definitely one of the best love stories, and was one of the inspirations for me to write this story.
Thank you for the review, and sorry I may have made you tear up...hehe.

I've finally found the time to catch up on this story! This was such a nice and wonderful chapter for Michael/Holly. You've captured their essence beautifully!! :D Loving this! Off to read/review some more!
Author's Response: Definitely! Michael/Holly are great together, and it's both fun and challenging because their senses of humor are so unique. Thank you for reviewing!

yay! i'm looking forward to it!

Wow. Very dark. Definitely holding my interest. I'm interested to see what happened to Pam and why Jim is holding off on the surgery. (Taking him at his word that it's later rather than outright refusing.)
BTW, you meant to write Holly was a "barren" bitch, not a "baron" one.
Author's Response: Thanks for that! Kind of embarassed now...lol

Hi
I'm really sorry, but I just didn't agree with this last chapter of yours. It didn't seem in character at all for Jim, even if he is sad and depressed and wanting to blow off steam. I just cant imagine Jim acting like that I'm sorry, and Holly in my opinion forgave Jim way too easily.
Loved chapter 4 though and the way you've portrayed Michael and Holly's dynamic.
Also thought it was a nice touch having flashbacks about the will :)
Author's Response: The will was definitely one of my favorite parts to write. Same with Michael and Holly's date. And about Jim's freak out on Holly, it's further explained in the next chapter. I'll just say that his tumor messes with his emotions. When he's sad, angry or happy, the tumor causes him to feel it tenfold...but anyway, the next couple chapters are finished, I just need to tweak them up a bit...
Thank you for the review! And I hope you continue reading despite the OOC Jim...

I cried. Knew it would happen eventually. LOL The part about Pam's ashes just....wow.
Author's Response: Aww...yeah, I got slightly misty eyed while writing that part...lol.

This story is amazing, beermefive. It's usually my personal rule to not read anything that has an already-dead Pam in it (not to mention a dying Jim), but I have to admit, this has sucked me in and I can't wait to see what the big mystery is. This is a great AU, so please keep updating.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm really glad you like the story despite already-dead Pam and a dying Jim. Hopefully the big reveal won't disappoint! Thank you so much for reading!

very nice. i love how smoothly you go from jim's past to the present scenes with holly.
sorry this is so short - i have so much homework to do! great job though, and i can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! There's more on the way. I've been on a roll!

I can't say enough how much I love this story (although I must admit that I'm a sucker for anything involving Holly or the Phils being World Champions)....the whole AU thing while staying true the characters is fantastic...keep up the good work...Please!
Author's Response: Holly is seriously the best thing to happen to the office since WWII! And although I'm sad that she's only been in a handful of episodes, in a way, it's easier to write her. Thank you for the review, and I hope you continue reading this fic!

"And then we made out."
Love that line! I can definitely see Jim saying that. Poor Pam though!
Author's Response: Indeed, poor Pam. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

LMAO at the "then we made out," very Jim.
Looking forward to seeing how this ends - sad Pam ds dead lol.
Author's Response: I think "then we made out" would have made a better title for this fic...lol. Thank you for the review! And I won't drag this story out. I'm only planning about seven chapters or so, so you'll find out how it ends soon...I just wish this business trip was over with so I could write in peace...lol. But thanks again for reviewing!

that took me a minute to process, but no hard feelings!
take your time, i'll be waiting for more of this 'a-w-e-s-o-m-e, awesome, awesome is what we (you) are' story!

Intrigued... I don't like that Pam's dead, but the flashbacks are nice.

wow, this was even better! i love how you've invented jim's whole world from scratch, very impressive! okay, i need to clean up my house, but keep writing, and i promise to review!
Author's Response: I wish I could update soon. I have a bunch of ideas in my head, but unfortunately I'm on a trip. But hopefully I'll update within this week! Thanks for the review, pamelamorganhalpert! PS sorry I killed you off in this story. :P

wow! that was really good. i can understand why you might have been hesitant to post this, i mean, it's really different from what most of MTT's content is usually about. nonetheless, it was delightful to read, i like the snippets from 'the real office' and what you came up with using your creative license. also, very well done. anyway, i'll read chapter 2 now - and make sure to keep posting. i love reading something different, yet vaguely familiar every once in a while. it's daring, and kind of like trying something new each day.
great job beermefive!
Author's Response: Yeah...I was actually nervous about posting this story! But I'm really glad you like it so far! Thank you for reading!
