So beautifully heartbreakingly sad. Poor, poor Jim.

Yeah, you broke my heart into a million little pieces.  Pam, with the lingerie and the motel and OH MY GOSH.  So sad and sad and beautifully written.  And sad.  Thank you.

I'm glad Pam didn't just use Jim in this story.  Thanks for adding another chapter!

This was so sad and I know how Pam felt saying the wrong thing and totally regretting it. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Guh. I love that throughout the whole thing, Pam is ... smug. Smiling to herself. Awesome.

This was so quietly beautiful, just like the falling snow you wrote about. I actually felt an inner squee when I read  “Fuck,” he said under his breath, closing his eyes for a second and shaking his head before turning to look out the back window as he pulled out of the parking space."  Only you could make backing out of a parking spot so deliciously hot. And I'd like to join the others asking for more, please.

I need to make a standard form I fill out for your stories: Excellent! Well done! Wonderful writing! Then I can just check all the boxes. :)

I think my favorite line was when Pam swiped her hand across the fogged mirror and said "I want to fuck up". That's exactly the kind of reasoning she'd go through, I think--too passive to actively break up with Roy, but aggressive/brave enough to create a situation where it would happen. So complex, and yet so simple. Well done again.

Well, you've done it again.  This is lush and lovely and oh, Pam!  I love that she played the scenario in her head and than unexpectedly acted on it.  I don't know....I guess I just always love a bold Pam.  Wonderful work.

I am constantly amazed by your brilliance with the written word and how you can delve into Jim and Pam's world and write them with such ease and so perfectly. Another job well done and count me as a member of the club that would love to see more to this.

This was like the first sip of wine after a horrible week. Just ahhhhhhhh, exhale. I was just thinking that I'm missing fic from rockstar writers such as yourself. Thanks for writing anything. Continue this, write something new, whatever. As long as we don't have to wait so long to hear from you.

Story specific I love how Pam redid her hair trying to see if Roy would notice. Its the little details that matter. Not to mention that this exactly follows my own personal credo, commit to the lie.

Wow, this is great. It's not so much that it ahs to be with Jim, it;s that she needs to do something to get out of the Roy rut.
I LOVED this idea:
The wedding date started to feel more like a deadline than a day of celebration.
That says it all in a nutshell. Nice job!

I like this because it incorporates everything that we now know Pam is capable of, without having to live through season 3 to get there!  :)

Seriously, though, I especially love the beginning with Pam trying out her new self to a mirror fogged up enough that she still doesn't quite have to own what she's doing.  Before I got to the end -- and Pam moved from fantasy to reality -- I had this thought: wouldn't it have been interesting if her initial reaction to Jim on the subsequent Casino Night had been disorientation, as though she suddenly couldn't remember whether her fantasy had been just fantasy.

Nice.  It could have happened this way. It didn't, and it wouldn't have, maybe, but it could have. I like this "what if" take on them, and it is fun to revisit those days of endless possibilities.

I love this so much! Your perception of the way Pam and Jim would act is spot on. Please let this be more than a oneshot

Oh, wow. So well done. So in character. Let me add my voice to those who have said they wouldn't mind more.

Oh, man!  It can't be done!!!!  This was so very good.  Pam is sexy yet insecure, and Jim's just undone.  Love it.  I would love another installment or a sequel.  Pretty please?

Melt.  All I can do when you write. 

P.S. If you get bored, feel free to add on to this, even though you have envisioned this as a one shot.  Pam finding a bolder self through her self-destructive tendencies is intriguing.

Very interesting premise and very well wriiten.  Pam can be a bit "saucy"!  Hope to see more from you!

Oh, fabulous. Really, really great. I adore Pam being a real person--being a brave and stupid person. This line to herself in the mirror said it all:

“I want to fuck up completely.”

I think everyone can relate to that feeling--or at least those of us who are like Pam. :)

I sincerely enjoyed this story. Very well written. Thank you!
