This story (you have it listed as incomplete, but I'm going to call it a one-shot) was beautiful and heartbreaking. It made me cry. I'm so proud of Pam for pursuing the MFA, for the Art Institute job, and being firm with Jim. and for the giant hug. I'm proud of Jim for running after her, for crying after, for at least almost saying stuff. Note to Jim: Go after her. Maybe not this week or this month, but soon.

I found this after repeatedly refreshing the home page, until it turned up as a "Story of the Moment" or whatever that's called, that I hadn't read. (The summer is just... so... slow.)
And now, I'm at work, and my heart is a little broken, more from how perfectly you've written them here than the utter kick that this was.
If somehow you could find it in your heart to go back to this, maybe make it, I don't know, 10-11 chapters? Or more, you know, if you're feeling that... that would be great. Because you really have a knack here, and I'd like to see how you would take this AU.

So basically that broke my heart. Wow. Just...wow. I really hope you do continue; you're a great writer and this story has so many places it could go.

I loved this story even though it broke my heart and kicked me in the stomach and made my eyes well up. Very well done.

break my heart. damn, it was so sad. so final. it was SAD.

This is so sad, left like this, but it's really well done. It definitely gets me choked up.
I'll certainly read more, if you decide to continue.

Oh man. This is the first story that has ever made me cry. It made my heart hurt so much, having felt some of these things before. This was so beautifully, realistically written. It really struck a chord in my own heart. I hope you continue. Really hope.

It COULD end here, or you MUST continue. I want to know what happens!

Ok well I just added this to my Favorites, so that I would know when you updated....so you CAN'T stop there....this was so good it made me want to cry---and that's a good thing
Please continue!!

If you choose to end it here, so help me, I will hunt you down and kick you. I have your [e-mail] address, and spamming skillz, and I'm not afraid to use it.
I am fully serious.
This is heart-breaking, sad, so real, and just - so final, but yet I am convinced that it's not. Not the end, not final. Please prove me right.
I loved the descriptions, and wow, the emotion in this hits me in all directions - I love the idea of Jim collapsing and crying, because dammit, he's going to have to learn to live with a lot of things. I love the idea of Jim hating the man who doesn't even exist yet. I love the idea of a final hug to have a final memory.
Even though even saying all of this has got me damn near tears.
I love this too much to say properly. So please, please, please give us something to look up to - this is angstier than the angst we get on the show, and that is saying a hell of a lot.
Eagerly waiting. Standing right here. Not moving.
Author's Response: Wow...thank you so much. And I wouldn't want you hunting me down with your skillz, so I'm gonna just go ahead and continue. ;) It won't always be this angsty, I promise. Well...my story. I can't make promises about the show, as much as I wish I could!!

That was... wow. Well, first the obvious -- that was GUT WRENCHINGLY PAINFUL. Seriously, ouch! But, it was also really well done! I hope you're still planning on continuing this. You're right, it does make for agood standalone story, but I would love to see what you're going to do with it otherwise!
Author's Response: I wanted it to be gut-wrenchingly painful, so thanks for letting me know I got you there! :)

Well, I can't tell you whether you should continue, since only you know where/if you have somewhere you'd like to take this...but I can tell you that I think this is very good. Really made me feel Jim's rush of pain and regret - and Pam's forcing herself to be brave, make a new start. The paragraph where Jim realizes that someday he'll just be a fond, wistful memory for her was especially poignant. So, whatever you do with this - thanks for this much!
Author's Response: You're welcome, and thank YOU for the review. That's one of the reasons I had to write this - I wanted to see what would happen if Pam just said, "the hell with it" and disentangled herself from the whole thing. So...I'll probably continue. :)

No, no, don't stop here! Heavens, we all have enough to deal with on the show. Please continue. This looks like the makings of a great story!
Author's Response: I know, how is it we have so much angst from a comedy?? Thanks!!
