You've heard of "Take your daughter to work day", right? How about a "Take your Mom to work day" ! Seriously, loved the beginning of this and can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Thanks, kaystar! I believe we will be finding Larissa stopping in at Dunder Mifflin in the next chapter....

Wow. You know, on the Jim thread (at TWoP), there's been a lot of discussion about how little we know about Jim, and I tell you, you've very realistically filled in the blanks here. I can completely see him as a middle child between two overachieving siblings (BTW: Jonathan - yay!), with a father who pushes him, a mother who really understands him well. This is one of those fics that I wish GD and Co. would just make happen on the show.
As always, this is just terrific, Moxie - can't wait for your updates!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much - you are too kind! I do remember reading the Jim thread and I agree completely - it would be a little easier if they just filled in a FEW details, wouldn't it? That's the one thing I did like about LOST - the flashbacks that gave the character more depth. We seriously need those. ;-)

As a mom, this story really spoke to me. We have seen other stories from Pam's mom's POV, but this is, in my memory anyway, the first from Jim's mom. I love how you described how she loved all her children equally, but differently. That is the truth. I love how Jim is so close to his mom. I love how she wants to whup Pam's ass (okay, that's the KY mom in me coming out there). But I have had all those feelings. This is so great, and I can't wait for you to update. I'm favoriting it right now.

Author's Response: Thanks - can you tell I'm a mom, too?? ;-) But don't worry, I know her irritation with Pam is completely justified in her mind (and to mine too), but she'll see the complete picture eventually....

Larissa is awesome! And it is so perfect that Jim is a middle child. Cannot wait to see what Sela-Larissa has up her sleeve.
Author's Response: Thanks! Here's hoping she can help without being too heavy-handed! (though sometimes that's what those two need!)
