I love stories that flesh out the one or two-dimensional characters. Love the back story. Love story that explain or hint at why people are the way they are. This one does all of that.

Oh, ROY. I kind of adore you for writing this; lately, there cannot be enough poor Roy fics. And this is so well done.
He'd changed and he wanted everyone to know.
That's Roy, breaking my heart bit by bit.

That was really spot-on. Such a great tact to take with Roy, who sometimes comes off in fic as just an oaf, but I think this is more accurate. Loved it.
Author's Response: Thank you, DinkinFlicka! He may be an oaf but there's got to be something underneath! Thanks for reviewing!

Oh my goodness. This is absolutely wonderful. I can't tell you how perfectly I think you've captured the character of Roy -- it's so easy to look at him and just pass him off as a jerk who didn't give a crap about or deserve Pam, but the way you've written it here explains so much of his behavior... I love it. You even wrote it in a voice that reminds me of Roy, so it's really like it's his chance to explain himself. Awesome, awesome job.
Author's Response: Thank you for such a wonderful review! What you said about the voice really meant a lot to me because I didn't intend on doing that but it was starting to turn out that way. Thanks so much!

Wow, that was an amazing characterization of Roy. I knew he wasn't a bad guy, just a confused one. I can't tell you how wonderful this was. Write. More.
Author's Response: I agree! He comes off as the bad guy, and I hated him in season 2. But now I just really, really feel sorry for him. I don't want him and Pam together, but I still feel bad. Thanks for reviewing!

He didn't want to be that guy, with the girl who could always do better.
God, this killed me. I've been discovering a whole new love for Roy lately, and it's not that I want him back with Pam, I just feel for him, you know? This was really frigging fantastic.
Author's Response: Thanks, Pixel, that's actually the line that sums up what I think Roy is actually thinking now. I really appreciate such an awesome review. Thank you.

Oh, lovely. I'm so glad you've painted Roy as this deeply trouble man-boy who just doens't quite get it, but wants to so badly. This is lovely and light and dark and hard, all at the same time.
Way to rock it! ;D
Author's Response: Thank you, fireworkfiasco! I've always felt that there was something deeper about Roy, like he's more than just a frat-boy charicature. Thanks for the awesome review!
Author's Response: Ahem. That's "caricature." Thanks.

Oh, poor Roy. It's good to think about the other side for a minute. Nice tone and excellent pacing.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! They've made me love Roy so.

Oh, wow, you really made me feel for Roy here. And that is a whole new angle on the Booze Cruise and why he set the date, rather than just being a big, careless oaf. Well done, 69cups.
Author's Response: Thanks, lisahoo! I like thinking of Roy as more than just a doofy meathead. It gives me a reason as to why Pam would stay with him for so long.

Another awesome story, 69CON! I felt so badly for the Anderson kids growing up, especially Roy. It's easy to see how his childhood shaped the man he became. Very well done.
Author's Response: Thank you, kaystar! If anyone deserves a backstory, it's Roy! Thanks for reviewing!

Awe...that was really good. Very graceful, methinks.
Plaudits.
