So after I saw you're ditto on my rec I had to come check out your stuff. Right off the bat I was feeling it. Stuff we saw so alike.
I'm about to say the sac religious here but I'm not familiar with Folklore. That said I love the way you tie lyrics to sentiment and feelings. Lyrical inspiration is always so strong.
Aside from the deep insights to Pam's mindset I like the little bits about the toys. I love these little details in stories. Not only do I feel like it gives more depth to Jam but also to the writer behind the story.
I liked the little callback to Philly Jim and his Avatar.
Promise to check out your other story soon. So much to read so little time but it's on my bookshelf. Meantime glad I got to enjoy this one.

Really great way to get into Pam's head here. I loved the insight to her mind during those times. The fact that they've moved past all those times together is very sweet. I'm unfamiliar with the album in question so I'll assume that all references are on point.
Nicely done with this one.
Author's Response: Thanks Warrior! Yeah I like writing Jam fluff, haha. The album is new and was thus the talk of the last chat! The other fans on MTT gave me the courage to do something with it and I’m sure you’ll only hear more about the album in the coming week lol.

“didn’t let his own feelings distort mine about Roy” Yes. This. So very true. Jim was so good at not directly criticizing Roy and letting Pam draw her own conclusions.
“Your secret smiles and your cute impressions led to just that. Secrets.” This is SO good. Seriously. I love this.
“my Jim” My whole damn heart.
“You’ve only given up on me once. I’m trying not to do the same with you.” Oof, this gets me right in the feels.
“the ghost of A Written Record of Jim’s Screw Ups From When He Was An Idiot?” And now you’re going to make me laugh? Sure. That tracks. All. The. Feels.
“Flack? Flack No More?” Oh, I laughed. Jim is such a dad. Bless.
Seriously, how did you take this from angst to literally one of the funniest things I’ve read all year. “Are you...Did you just quote Taylor Swift at me?” It’s so, so good.
Umm. Please write all the things!
Author's Response: Ummm, thank you so much?!? I’m so glad you liked it and that it made you laugh! I didn’t dare to hope for that from my first post on MTT. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words! :)))

I never thought I would love seeing Jim and Pam talk about Taylor Swift so much and yet I do, so, so much. This was great! I loved the journal entries! That was such a smart way to incorporate the lyrics! This was great!!
Author's Response: Thanks! You're the only reason I submitted it at all so thanks for helping me make this weirdness happen!

I'm admittedly not big on music, but I felt the retrospective was really well done. And then Pam's I can't read line cracked me up, well done.
Author's Response: Thank you! I almost deleted that line but then I was like "We can all be embarrassed I wrote that together" lol. Glad you liked it!
