Oooh it's getting really interesting...Marsha gets new Pam letters and old Jim letters and Jim gets old Pam letters...the plot thickens! Aww dreamgirl letters! 10-year-old Jim is adorable. This story is so good! =)

I am so loving these letters Azlin. Sorry I haven't stopped to comment or review but I've just been too eager to get to the next chapter. Making myself take a minute now because you need to know how great this story is and not just once.
I think you've captured Pam's feelings (love, fear, joy, sadness) in the most real and wonderful way. The 10 year old Jim letter was perfection.
Thank you so much
Author's Response: Aw, thank you. Your review actually just gave me the nudge I needed to start working on the next chapter again. I've kind of let it slide for a bit, but I'm trying to get back into it because I know a lot of people really like this story. I hope you enjoy the rest of the chapters and I really appreciate your kind comments!

Continue to love it, love it! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I keep saying this, but I really am glad that people like this story. It makes it a lot more fun for me to write. ;)

Very cute kid!Jim letter. His mom sounds like a hippie. Hey, that would explain his shaggy hairdo! ;)
I can't wait to read some fresh Pam letters. I think we're drifting away from the love a tiny bit. And I love the love. Who doesn't love the love? :)
Author's Response:
Don't worry, I promise the love will make a smashing come-back in the near future!
And thanks for the hippie comment because now I'm picturing 10 year old Jim in a tye-dyed T-shirt singing "All You Need Is Love". Which is making me laugh like crazy.

What a funny little twist! I can't wait to see teenage Jim maybe take his letter writing alittle more seriously... or something. :)
Totally cute!
Author's Response:
Thanks! And yes, teenage Jim is coming and I'm just as excited about it. ;)

Well since you have no problem with negative reviews...
First off I love the premise and loved the first 5ish chapters. Unfortunately this story kind of has two problems with it now, one I think you're kind of in love with the story and extending it more than needed, and two (and this is weird coming from a male) its kind of getting into squirrel style creepiness IMO. But I definitely enjoy reading this story.
Author's Response:
I do like negative reviews and it's because they make me think about my story a lot more than praise does.
That being said, this one isn't really that negative, but it's hard for me to respond to because you're right, I'm in love with my own story. And I really love writing these letters. But I did have this all planned from the first couple chapters, and I always knew it would be longer than average. As for the creepiness, I've tried avoiding it, but some of it was inevitable.
You probably didn't want to hear all that, but I really do appreciate that you gave me your honest opinion. Thanks!

I love this! Jim's letter is great. It's so 'ew, girls have cooties!' :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Ah, young Jim. Even at 10 he's adorable!

This is so good! I like how Marsha and Jim both gave up one of their notes, even though they didn't have a "deal" ironed out yet. The letter from 10 year-old Jim is very cute. Pam will probably love every one and fall in love with the writer (whom she already loves, so - win/win).
I'm afraid we've run into a problem. Isn't Jim smart enough to figure out that Marsha, from the cleaning crew, must have found the letter in the trash? And then, he can just stay a little bit later than everyone else on cleaning crew nights and go through Pam's trash, leaving the middle-(wo)man high and dry? Then again, he wasn't smart enough to know that Pam asking him to get a coffee after work might mean she was thinking about him as more than just a friend in the office. So... never mind about that Jim being smart enough nonsense.
I was happy to see another chapter. When I was only halfway through reading it, I had to go pick up my kid from school. Garbage Can Letters... mom responsibilities. Garbage Can Letters... mom responsibilities. (/Kevin) Darn that real life! But, then I came back (with kid) and finished TGCL. Yay!
Jim's 10-y.-o. letter also gives us some insight into Jim's mom, which is awesome (/Kelly). And, sort of off-topic, last night's episode had Jim referring to his folks, so we now have in canon that Jim has 2 parents living, and close enough that they could come see the "Michael on the roof" show. Was anyone else Whohooing at that point?
And, no, I know you'd never forget the other Kev! I really don't require a lot of maintenance, don't worry about me! I'm thinking of de-lurking over at TWoP, though. Is the water fine?
Author's Response:
Wow. I am in awe of your super-sized review.
I'm glad you liked little Jim's letter. I had fun writing that, reminded me of my own journal entries from when I was little. At the moment, to be honest, I'm more worried about Pam figuring it out than Jim. I'm glad your kid made it home safely, because I would hate to have that over my head. And yes, I loved the fact that Jim talked about his parents because that makes it easier to come up with a background story for him.
Finally, definitely de-lurk! You'd fit in perfectly. And the water's great! Hope to see you there. :)

Please update soon! This is so sweet, and Pam's letters are so sad... I love the voice you've created for Marsha, too. She seems real.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like Marsha she's been really fun to write.

Shame on me for not reviewing this outstanding story until now. Such a clever idea, and the whole thing is so charming. In particular, you write Pam's letters really well, really capturing her voice. You've really got it set up for an amazingly sweet payoff, which I'm anticipating with great impatience, I mean eagerness. Great work.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! My betas could tell you that I have a complex about Pam's letters. I'm never sure if they're right, so this is really nice to hear.

Jim's letters to his 'dream girl' are so freaking adorable I could just die!
BTW, Jim does need to go over there and kiss Pam senseless...
Author's Response: I completely agree senseless kissing is a must, so I'll see what I can do about that. Thanks for the review!
