Wow! This was amazing. I stumbled across it today and spent a good portion of my day reading it...when I probably should have been working, but oh well! You wrote this story so amazingly. I loved the Jim/Pam interaction, even when they didn't know for sure it was then! Great job! Can't wait to read more from you! :)

Wow, this story was so adorable! And I really enjoyed your writing style. I just sat down and read the whole story straight through. Great job and I can't wait for the epilogue!

So, I just sat and read this entire story in one sitting and fell in love with it! I sure hope you update soon! PLEASE!

Author's Response: Thank you so much, hann.  I'm so glad you enjoyed this so far.  I just posted another chapter tonight (down the home stretch now) and I hope you like it.  Thanks again for reading and reviewing :)

Woah! I did not expect that. At all. Now, the JAM-lover in me wants him to be back with Pam, but I like Emily WAY too much to do that to her, damn it. I'm conflicted and I don't like it. Please update the rest of this...soon. Like, now. Thanks! :)

Author's Response: Oh, I love surprises! ;0

I LOVE, Absolutely LOVE Pam's sister! LOVE! She's great...totally great. Anyways...I'm interested to see what happens with the ring. You are going to explain that a bit, right? I hope so!! Update soon...please.

Hi. Okay...so here goes nothing. (Well, that might not be incredibly true, cause I think a really long review is about to come out of me. It's 21 chapters worth of reviews.) I wasn't sure about this story when I first saw it. Almost to the point where I wasn't going to read it at all, but something pulled me towards it, and now, here I am, 21 chapters later ready for more. Though, honestly, I'm not sure what exactly I feel about it.

I'm a JAM fan. I always have been and probably always will be, so the thought of them not making it kills me. Now, with that being said, this is a fantastic story. So realistic it's brought me to tears, a couple times, and I feel as if Jim, Pam, and Emily are all real people. (Yeah, I'm a little crazy.) You write with such openess and honestly it's refreshing. Another little honest spout, I didn't want to like Emily. I really, really didn't. But...and I say this with only a little cringe action...I do. A lot. I think she is good for Jim right now at this stage.

She's mending him...and though I wouldn't orginally want him mended from Pam, I'm kinda sorta glad he is.

I'm not sure where you are planning on taking this, but I really can't wait to see. I'll be following the rest of the way, holding my breath to see what you have in store for Jim and Emily...and maybe even Pam. (Oh, by the way, I would love to see a verison of this story in her perspective. That would be amazing.)

And I'm going to end this novel-like review with this, splendid job. You are a great writer and I am really looking forward for an update.

Author's Response: hann, thanks so much for your review! I\'m glad that you took a chance with this story -- I know the premise is a tough one, but hopefully the payoff is ultimately satisfying. And you\'re not crazy! All of us here think of Jim and Pam as real people (and I\'m glad Emily seems real to you, too), and we want what\'s best for them. Jim and Pam are wonderful together and if they can get past their communication issues and history, then I\'m sure they could be very happy... but if not, then I want them both to be happy anyway, even if it means they\'re not together. Make sense? Anyway, I would love to write a piece from Pam\'s POV (although it will probably not be the epic version this one is turning into). Hopefully when the kids go back to school...

Anyway, I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying it, and thanks again for reading and taking the time to write such a nice review. It truly means a lot!

So cute!! I love the letter and everything...almost makes me wish it was positive! Great job!

Author's Response:

and that my dear, is exactly what I was going for.

thanks so much! :o)

Woah...I had a feeling it would be that or something else...and I have to say, I was really hoping for the something else. Man, I can't wait to see where you take this! Update soon!

Author's Response: Okay, now I\'m really curious about what the \"something else\" would be. Sorry to disappoint you on that front. I hope you like where this goes anyway!

Okay, so...this isn't the first time I've read this story...and I've reviewed over on ff, but I spent the day at the Magic Kingdom yesterday and the fireworks display made me think of this story, so of course I had to read it through today (when I probably should have been working to make up for the vacation time I took yesterday, but oh well.) And I really loev this story. It's got personality and quirkiness (is that a word?) and that touch of romance between Jim and Pam that I just can't get enough of. I love it, certainly a favorite! Great job!

I'm really liking this story! I can't wait to see what happens when Pam in thrown into the mix. And I hope he can get over Karen and get with Pam...and never, ever go back with Karen. (Sorry, die-hard JAM fan here.) You write the heartbreak incredibly well. Please update soon!

Wow...I've just spent the last day reading "Indie Rock and Keds" and then this one and I have to say I love it. You write Jim and Pam so well, even in this AU world. I love all the supporting characters too...I can't wait for you to update again!

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much hann. I\'m glad you\'ve enjoyed both installments. They have been such a joy to write, and I love to hear from all you as you read. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. It was sad to bring Indie Rock to an end; I just became so attached to that story. But, this one is fun, too... It think it\'s interesting to watch a AU Jim/Pam as they grow and mature together. :)

First off, congratulations!!! So happy for you and your engagement! So exciting!

And second, of course this was worth the wait, even if it ripped my heart out in the process. I can't wait for the next chapter, especially since you promised it would be happier. Hurry up!!
