OK now I am really nervous about how this is going to go over with Jim! Of course I know how he dealt with Pam's confession in Beach Games but she didn't talk quite as candidly there!
Love how you worked in Marsha's family story, however sad it is. Hope that you keep that updated through the rest of the story.
Great job!

Oh, that is so sweet! And not just the adorable Jim/Pam stuff, But the Marsha stuff too! I had tears in my eyes after reading her letter to Jim, I hope she's still in the story!

Oh my goodness!! This entire chapter was so touching! Marsha's story is so sad!! And the letter from her own daughter was really moving -- I hope her story gets resolved and that she gets to reconnect with her kids. Jim imagining his daughter was adorable, and his dreamgirl letter in this chapter was really sweet.

Oh, this one gave me just a huge lump in my throat. I love that Marsha is really part of your story now. Jim picturing a little girl with pigtails is just about the sweetest thing ever.

i love this chapter and marsha's abrupt realization that she should act in her own life as well as in jim+pam's. hopefully it works out for her...and, judging by the fact that there are 9 more chapters, there is more to read! can't wait!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! It's so fun to have new readers enjoying an old story. Incidentally, your review inspired me to get back to work on the last chapter, so thanks for that! Hope you liked the rest of the story. I should be updating it in the next week or so, so keep an eye out! Thanks again!

I loved this chapter - Marsha hearing from her daughter and deciding to go visit. And of course Marsha's letter to Jim. I'll be anxiously awaiting your next chapter whenever you have time to fit it in.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I'm hoping to have the next chapter up sometime next week, but we'll see.

I'm glad Marsha's getting a chance to reclaim her relationship with her kids. And I think she's taken the right tack with Jim. If he doesn't get it after reading the rest of Pam's letters, he's got some kind of brain damage. And we know a guy with his mad pranking skillz has to be intelligent. ;)
Good luck with your real life stuff, and I'll be looking forward to reading the update, whenever it comes. :)
Author's Response:
Yeah, if Jim still doesn't get it I'll have Marsha come after him with a baseball bat. Or her flamethrower. Wait... that was bad!fic.
Anyways, thanks for the review! Good to know you'll be looking forward to it. That's good motivation. :)

Oh hush...stories better than yours? Come on! Your story is great. And I will wait 2-3 weeks for it, if that's what it takes. You aren't going away to reunite with your ex and your two kids are you?
Author's Response:
Well, I thought about it, but he's such a jerk sometimes. And the kids... eh? Who needs 'em?
Just kidding. I'm going on vacation and then I'm moving. Starting tomorrow. And I still have a TON of stuff to do before then! Yikes!
Thanks for the review!

Oh, man! What a cliffhanger to leave us with! Good for you. ;)
It's funny, because I'm all invested in the Jim and Pam parts of this story, their letters, but I'm also really focused on Marsha and *her* story. I love that it also took letters for Marsha to reconnect with her family. Upon reread, the letter from Audrey and Marsha's reaction made me tear up!
Good luck with your real life stuff. I'll be looking forward to reading more of your story when you can return to it -- don't disparage it, it's really good!
Author's Response: I hope it wasn't too much of a cliffhanger. And I'm really glad that you liked the parts about Marsha. :) Thanks for your comments!

All he could see was a little girl running to him. A little girl with curly brown pigtails, bright green eyes, and Pam's smile. That was what he wanted.
This began my descent into tears but what finished me off was the end with Marsha and Audrey. Everything about this chapter was incredible and I know I have to wait for the next installment, but I will try to do so patiently.
Author's Response: Aw! Thank you. Seriously, it means a lot to me to know that this affected you so much. And thanks for the rec on TwoP! I really do appreciate hearing feedback from readers, it makes you into real people to me instead of just a number in a read count. :)

Marsha's coming to SF! That's where I live and I am too excited by that.
Anyway, very exciting turns in this chapter! I am thrilled that life seems to be looking up for your creation, Marsha. And am excited to see what Jim does with his new intel. And I just love that Pam wants to play, but doesn't know the rules to this game. So true to character!
Even if it'll take a few weeks, I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response:
You're from SF? So am I! Well, technically I live in the East Bay, but still. The city's only a bart ride away. :) Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked this chapter.

Aw, man! I really really can't wait for Jim's reaction when he gets Marsha's letter, not to mention PAM'S letters! Nice chapter, and nice job fleshing out Marsha (because, in all honesty, she was starting to creep me out a few chapters ago), and now she's more understandable. Great stuff! Can't wait for an update!
Author's Response:
Oh good. I'm glad Marsha's not as creepy anymore. This whole backstory has been in my mind since the beginning, but there just never seemed to be a good place to work it in. And as for Jim... yeah, I'm excited too! ;)
Date: April 23, 2007 12:15 pm Title: and I'd dig my way home
Oh, it will be so hard to wait for the next chapter - but I totally love how you've worked Marsha's life into the story as well. It really is one of my favourite stories!!
Hope you are well and that next 2-3 weeks are filled with things you want to do, not just HAVE to do, you know??
Author's Response:
Aw, one of your favs? That's high praise! I feel like I should give you partial credit though since I never would have gotten so hooked on office fic if it weren't for your stories. And the fact that I was so hooked is what compelled me to write, so in a way it's all your fault!
My personal hiatus will be filled with a trip to the other side of the country and then a move back to school, so it's a little of both as far as things I want/have to do.

Lovely chapter. I like how Pam is starting to suspect that those letters are from Jim. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :)
Date: April 23, 2007 11:49 am Title: and I'd dig my way home
Hooray!! Marsha's getting a chance to fix her own life, and Jim knows where to get the letters. (Although the fact there weren't any makes me think maybe Pam has figured out she should throw those out somewhere else!)
Azlin, who's going to watch your TV while you experience this... what did you call it? real life? Don't miss 4 Offices in a row while you're having real life. Some are supersized, so they may be at weird times.
I will look forward to more GCL when you get to it.
Author's Response:
Well, as for the TV, I have heard legends about this magical thing called tivo, but sadly my house has not yet entered that dream realm. So, I will be catching TO as best I can on the road. The other day I was having a conversation with my mom about our vacation plans and I mentioned that I needed to be to the hotel by 8 to watch it and she just rolled her eyes. Philistine.
Thanks for the review!

Gah! How am I going to survive without fanfic.... seriously. We will die. I will see you in fanfic heaven (where there are non-dead Jims waiting for us).
Um, Marsha. Saturday I was up by 6 am. And even on normal Saturdays I am up by 9 at the latest. Normally 8. I think I am a freak.
'He wanted... everything.' break my heart why dontcha!
I love how we are learning more about Marsha, and how Pams letters to Jim aren't the only letters anymore.
See you in fanfic heaven :)
Author's Response:
I know it's gonna be awful. :(
Lol, on Saturday I woke up at 6:15, for absolutely no reason and never went back to sleep. I was so mad. I'm glad you like the stuff about Marsha!
I'll see you in fanfic heaven, you bring the Jims, I'll bring the grape soda and Sun Chips. I'm sure after hanging with us they'll forget all about Karen and Pam. ;)
