OK. The ring in honour of their past (present, and future) friendship leaves me in a bit of a sappy mess, so congrats on the good writing. ;)  And it's such a lovely idea!  Jim never wanting to forget it, because it was and is all so important.  Such a great chapter!



Author's Response: Hey, thanks so much!  Yeah, I was wracking my brains trying to come up with something sweet for Jim to do, and it kept coming back to honoring the friendship.  I really appreciate the review!

In no way would I object to you continuing this fic... forever.  Seriously.  After this last chapter, I (as well as others, I presume) will simply not allow you to stop.  Writing to Jill is such a great idea, I would love to see more of it, maybe when Jill starts dating. :P



Author's Response: haha. Well since Jim will continue this journal for many years to come I'm guessing that that can be arranged if I continue writing this story. Thanks so much for wanting it to continue! That's so awesome to hear those words of encouragement. I'll see what I can do! ;-)

I really love reading a story that involves some confrontation between Jim and Roy that doesn't seem like a parody.  I really love the pacing and how this is handled.  Well done!  Can't wait to read more. :)



Author's Response: Thank you for your comments :) I love getting specific feedback like this. I try to pay close attention to the pacing, so that means a lot. 

It's not often that I get a bit pissed when a chapter ends.  This is totally a good thing, I assure you, as I simply want MORE!  Awesome idea, I can't wait to see what happens!

Author's Response: Hey - thanks for the review!  I am working on chapter 2 - so hang in there!!

At the end, my stomach rolled, and it hurt.  Therefore you owe a new chapter right NOW.

Of course, I'm kidding (but not really).  I'm so glad that things are starting to come to a head (that was rife with innuendos, sorry), and I am waiting for the next chapter with ant-ic-ipa-tion.

“I’ll totally be pregnant in the next chapter!”

Oh good God!  That's hilarious.  It's funny because it's true, as according to bad fanfic Jim Halpert is the equivalent of a Sex God, probably impregnating her 4 times before she knows what happened.  So funny, I just loved it.

I never realized how completely simple and perfect it would be for Pam, in all her FNB goodness, to say something like "I'd handle it much differently".  It makes so much sense.  And because of that, I absolutely love this.  Well done!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  You know, I'm like the queen of angst (and melodrama, though I try to keep that in check as much as I can).  As I was thinking about the moment we're all waiting for, I just kept going back to how much I'd like to see her do it in a really quiet, understated moment.  The obvious thing would be for it to happen at an event like Phyllis's wedding (and I was one of the people who was just so sure something would happen there), but...I don't know; I kind of think it could happen in a quieter kind of way, if that makes sense.

Thanks for reviewing!

"Their epic, epic love" was hilarious.  I may actually have to steal that at some point.  And don't worry, I'll pay the proper fees.  I must reiterate that I like Ryan as a nice guy.  It's a nice change. ;)



Author's Response: Heehee, I'm so glad you liked that line!  In my head I can picture exactly how Pam would say that... and it cracks me up.  Thank you!!

You won't be finding any garbage throwing here.  I actually can't believe that I'm saying that because I am the most ridiculous JAM shipper, but I'm not sure that this fic could have ended any other way.

Considering that both Ryan and Jim aren't exactly canon in this fic (Ryan... nice?  WTF?! lol), it makes a lot of sense.  I'm saying this as a good thing, because it's nice to see a little variation.  I'm really glad the Ryan/Pam thing worked out, and most of all, that she's going to his graduation. ;)

Great work!

At a time like this, us Jammers are in some serious need of fluff, and I have to say that this is just perfect. :)

I've never felt prouder to know what "regicide" was.  And yes, it has everything to do with the fact that I heard it on The Simpsons once.

Anyway, this was great.  There's been a bit of Jim-induced rage going on, and this is a nice little insight into why we're getting front row seats to the Cold!Jim show now.  I can't wait for an update!

And the one that takes the cake:

WARNING:  Do not attempt to stare into your lover's eyes during coitus.  Your partner will either laugh or be very creeped out.

Very well played.  There is so much that is right about these warnings, maybe they should be officially adopted by the fandom. :)

No way you can just leave this as a one-shot!  I'd definitely be interested in seeing you continue this.  And I like the incorporation of The Time Traveler's Wife, it's such a great book. :)
