Wow, you've really given this some thought. I'm paraphrasing, but "...loving Pam is safe as long as she doesn't love me back because of Roy, not me personally..." is so pityful, but so real. Great stuff!

The Jim and Pam ending is magnificent.

I know this was written 13 years ago but I was told I would really enjoy this series and I’m already hooked. To me the doc crew is a character and one often overlooked in fan fics.

How fun all the imaginary dates and the real one couldn’t be more them.

Love that Ernie gives them the privacy they crave and deserve in the end.

Whole lot of fun.

Can’t wait to read more of the series.

This story is ambitious and well-executed, and the greatest praise I can offer it is that it makes me genuinely feel bad for being so judgmental of Jim and Pam, real people trying to live their lives in a fishbowl, in spite of the fact that I know full well they are not in fact those things.

What an interesting way to tell the story! I was sad that there were some crucial conversations that we didn't get to see, but is a cool thought experiment about things might have changed and how things might have stayed the same if they were in a public spotlight.

I also think it's really interesting that you have this character of Brian, the camera man who cares a little too much about them as people, that I've noticed across different stories of yours. At first I assumed it was the canon character Brian the boom operator, but then I realized that you were writing these years before he appeared! Crazy! Is that just a coincidence?

What a clever idea! I do love these stories where the show airs in real time and Jim and Pam use the online community as a way to work out their stuff.

I really enjoyed this story! All the angst was so painful but in a good way. I cried at their perceptions of each other before they finally worked things out. But it was so good to see them resolve it! And it was satisfying at the end to see them work it out again!

Wow. Just wow. I’ve been binging SO many mtt stories during quarantine (something I used to do so much a decade ago but am just now rediscovering) and no story has had the effect on me that this story has. All the chapters are consistently great! My jaw dropped multiple times. I was laughing out loud at some parts. I often had to put my phone down and walk around the room to process the bomb that had just been dropped. I really enjoyed your inner monologues of Jim and Pam. I feel like you just nailed it on the head. I really appreciated this story and the sweetness of it, like Oscars email to Pam. And the final chat with Pam!! So good. I felt like it really read like a series finale. Wrapping up so many feelings and being honest about things Pam learned along the way. Brilliant story. Thank you.
