The internets ate my first review. Grr. Okay, I seriously covered my mouth and whispered "No!" when I realized Pam had sent not one, but all of those emails. So, good job on the tension there. And a great resolution!

First of all, Snow Patrol is easily one of the best bands to listen to when writing. And I'm glad to know that I'm not alone when I saw that their music inspires me to write! :)
I felt so bad for Pam at her art show, so reading this was a nice way to get into her mind and see how she felt about it all. When Pam started drinking the wine and composing those e-mails, it made your story progress further and get better & better after each e-mail.
Favorite part: (other than those weird metal springy things that stick out of the wall - you know, those contraptions that supposedly keep doors from closing all the way - and I decided that they're creepy. Did I tell you that I had a puppy once who pawed at one of those things? He did, and when it made that weird sound - if you were here, I'd totally do it for you - it freaked him out, and he peed all over the floor.) I can't even begin to tell you how hard I laughed at this! I wasn't expecting it at all, and then just imagining Pam writing this in a semi-drunken state me laugh harder. LOL
Anyway, the point of this rather long review is that I loved your story. This is definitely one of the best Pam-centered fics I've ever read-- in-character, appropriate, and believable. Thanks for sharing this! Lovely job!

Can I just say I loved your backstory on the outfit that Pam wore to the art show, and especially her iner thoughts about Roy in relation to her art. So spot on. You pointed out things I hadn't even realized about their dynamic. And my mom and I would have had the same discussion about the jumper looking like something an artist would wear.
OMG, she sent the last e-mail? Or all of them? Eeeee! I was so sad to see that Jim didn't show up at the art show, even if Michael's appearance did have me in tears. Can't wait to see what you bring us in the next chapter...

Wow...amazing. The e-mails especially sound just like Pam. Wonderful job at capturing the characters.

*sigh* Oh, Pam. As you noted, I don't think she's there yet, but we are! We're so ready for this! Still- solidarity, my sister! We can be optimists together.
This, by the way, is something I've never seen articulated, and it is SO TRUE:
He had never challenged her - because he didn't know her well enough to do so. Strange that the realization hadn't occurred to her until she stood there forcing herself to glare at Jim – who had no qualms about challenging her.
Wonderful insight. No wonder they fit together so well. Beautiful, as usual!

Oh, I loved it. I like the flashbacks to Boys and Girls, as well as what their emails would have said. I can't wait to see what comes next.

I'd pay good money to see Pam pro-active enough to just freaking tell him already - email, voicemail, smoke signals..anything! So thanks for this wish fulfillment. I like how you've increased the level of candor along with her level of inebriation. Looking forward to seeing Jim's reaction, needless to say. Running out of patience with the show - sometimes I think it's fics like this that keep me in the game.

omigod, finish story now please...must know what Jim's reaction is!!! can't talk. stunned by story.
(but seriously folks...)
I love the series of e-mails as Pam works through that bottle of wine...so perfect! Funny funny stuff, but poignant and heartfelt at the same time. Excellent...

A bazillion Dundies to you! Thank you for once again posting a great piece. Can't wait to read more.

I really enjoyed this; all the little back stories that add up to her heartbreak; all the alternate emails; Roy not getting that third place was awesome to her; the long sleeves of her sweater (because I was secretly enthralled watching her hands fuss that night: Jenna is awesome). All good, dear. And for some reason: the startled puppy. It's so off-topic, but human. The kind of thing you talk about when you're trying to avoid saying the really important stuff.

Okay, can I just say that as someone who's had their stuff displayed at an art show, I TOTALLY understand Pam right now. And the version that you've written...having all the personal stuff in drawers? Yeah, that's me.
It's the hardest thing in the world to put yourself outthere like that and there's a lot of people who just won't do it.
I love that there's multiple versions of the emails as well.
This was just great.
Thanks. (now, where's my Dundie?)
cheers.

Loved it! I loved the comparisons to Pam throughout the ages. It fit nicely into her current state of mind. As always, you'd better hurry and give me another chapter to read :) You torture me ever so awesomely.
