I love what you're doing with this.  I especially love that we are in Andy's head for a while - it's such a scary place to be!  I also love the Jim/Pam competition aspect.  I can't wait for the double date.

Keep it up and I look forward to reading more. 



Author's Response:

Yes. Being in Andy's head is downright frightening. But I'll keep going back there as long as I have to, if it'll mean getting Pam and Jim together in the end!

Oh, did I just ruin the suspense? Sorry folks, I meant I'll go back because Pam is so happy with Andy and they're going to stay together FOREVER!

Hey DF - I just have to say - you have something amazing here.  Sure a lot of people love K+R and J+P but you've really taken an unique idea and run with it - your characterizations have been fun and compelling, and I love where this is going.  Where is it going again?  Post again soon please!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really really appreciate it and I'm so glad you've enjoyed reading it :)

Summary:

 

“I get it now, she’s everything I’m not.” She says as a few tears slip out from beneath her lashes.  His subconscious realizes at this moment that she’s unconsciously mimicking a line from the Royal Tenenbaums, one of their joint favorite films. When he replays this conversation in his mind later, this will break his heart.

Awwww... I usually don't review the fluffier stories, I'm def more an angst fan, but this was really cute and well done - I love Pam's answers and her thought process - really, your characterizations were great. 

I also love that you continue to explore different writing formats (scripts, straight prose, etc.).  Keep it up!



Author's Response:

Heh... well, thank you. I'm glad that you liked this fluff.

I like writing in different formats... keeping it fresh, ya know? :)

I really loved the POV exchanges - that was awesome.  I love that you showed the good in their relationship, the little things that kept them together for so long.  Really well done. 

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I figured that life with Roy couldn't have been all that bad - Pam had to fall in love with something about him right? Thanks for reading.

Summary: Past Featured Story

"It seems odd, in the ironic, slap-in-the-face kind of way that since her incident, it’s been easier to let him go."

Something bad happens to Pam. Very Dark.

Date: May 16, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Weak

OK - wow again.  I've been able to absorb this story more and this time I hope I can be a bit more articulate.  I want to say thank you for taking such an ugly and horrible scenario and presenting it in such a touching way.  I see a lot of your readers have the same issues that I do, that they don't want to be 'enjoying' this story because of the subject matter.  You've created a compelling story line that draws you in and sucks you into the pain that Pam is feeling.  It's been an amazing experience to read this, so thank you again, and please update again soon if possible. 

I just have one tiny correction.  You are using the word 'gentile' a lot, but I think that you mean 'gentle'.  Not a huge deal at all, but I thought I'd let you know.

Date: June 07, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Fear

Wow - the bedroom scene broke my heart - Jim's picturing what happened.  This is amazingly powerful.  This line, "When her door shuts behind him, he stands outside like a lost child, not knowing what to do." painted such a melancholy picture.  Just wow. 

Summary: Past Featured Story

She had to finish this conversation now that she’d started it. Pam finally speaks up. No spoilers; takes place sometime after Product Recall, season 3.

This is just great!  I loved it - one of the things that I love about your writing is that you get to the point, and though you have a lot of wonderful exposition, you always know just where to leave it!  Well done! 

Author's Response: Thank you so much! It's really cool to get a comment about my writing as a whole- I tend to think of all my stuff as separate and forget that people read it with "me" in mind. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

OK.. so, wow.  With this story you've prompted me to do something I've never done before... leave a detailed review...

Thanks so much for this little work of art - it was amazing through and through... I can't express enough how much I love your characterization of Jim and Frank and I loved Roy's explanation for why he belonged there... it made me so .. just wow... yeah, no words...

My fav bits from your final chapter?  Frank... he was awesome...

"That's my bacon...I said go eat something, I didn't say to eat my bacon." Loved that he was ornery

"Really? Come on...you haven't called me sir...ever. Why start now? Respect for the dead?"  I smorted at this... What an amazing mix of nervousness and fear and grief and reality and laughter...

Finally... His eyes found mine. "She paints more now."
What an amazing example of 'man-talk'... loved it...

And my absolute favorite bit????  The beauty of this line:

And without fanfare...and just a little drama, I moved into the next phase of mine.

Thank you soooo much....

 



Author's Response: I'll tell you what, there is nothing better than a detailed review like this....you are gonna spoil me with this! lol. Thank you so, so much.  I have to tell you my favorite dynamic  to write about was that of Frank and Roy. Even though they really never had much dialogue together until the end...I was trying to draw a parallel with what kinds of people they were and how they handled situations (like stressful ones) in much the same way. Thank you, so so so much for such a great detailed review. I love that!
