I love that Jim calls the office to hear her voice on the answering machine. And Pam playing the life picker with the folded paper - I haven't thought of that game in many years. Thanks for bringing back a childhood memory while writing such a great story.
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I think I only played that game a few times, but I watched other girls play it a lot.

Ooh, I really enjoyed this. It's got a very unique and interesting narrative style - kind of like their thoughts would be, a little disjointed and confused, and how you leave us hanging at the end just like Pam is in her state of mind at the end, not sure how it'll end. I love this: In his head he cut the tape, edited that line out. Too naked. - that even in his imagination, he censors himself.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
This was a strange fic for me to write, because it kind of came out that way, stream-of-consciousness, and I wasn't sure if it was finished. But the more I thought about it, the more I wasn't inclined to change anything, because it also felt like it was supposed to be that way.
Part of where this came from in my head was imagining what it would be like to have a documentary crew in my office every day and how that would feel. I think self-censorship would become inevitable, and a talking head the platform for you to attempt to correct the footage they may show.

I love this. I'm not sure how to express what I like, but I'll try...So many fics (mine included) make the Jim/Pam thing into a grand romance. While absolutely capturing the angst and drama and scope of their story, you still manage to make it feel small and ordinary- like they are, really. It's so subtle and skillfully done.
Author's Response: Thank you!! This is my first foray into the fandom, I'm happy to feel that the water's fine.
