I congratulate you on a beautifully written story. I’m afraid it’s not for me though, Ryan is a douche and I’m too much of a Jam shipper to ever be able to see Pam with him, however well written. I also think Kelly would make a much greater nuisance of herself!

I read this story a long time ago and loved it so much I even watched The Philadelphia Story so I could understand all the references. I was rereading it nostalgically and thought that after ten years, I probably owe you a review, lol.
This is one of my all-time favorite Ryan/Pam fics. I think you really nailed the characterization. Ryan and Pam have real chemistry even as they fight, and Jim is sweet but unhelpful in a crisis. You're great at showing the little cracks in Jim and Pam's relationship: Jim running from fights, idolizing Pam, and smirking at the camera instead of communicating while Pam is quietly disappointed and wishing for her current fiance to be a little more like her ex-husband.
I love the details you include--from paper clip sculptures to swordfish, every line has something worth remembering. Thank you for a wonderful, moving story!

well - i will say this. i am a huge fan of your writing, it's incredibly moving and well-executed always. this piece too is wonderful. and i do enjoy pam/ryan from time to time. but there is this feeling in me that is unsatisfied by this ending, where pam and ryan end up together in part because jim is a yutz. that is a personal issue, though, but i wanted to share. i LOVE the references to "the philadelphia story" - spot on. i love your ryan; i wish we could see him this happy and simple and normal. and greg and gene and randall! wonderful.
Author's Response: Well, thank you. :)

Gyarg.
This fic makes me... uncomfortable.
I'm a JAM shipper to the core, and this version--with Jim idolizing Pam instead of, like, bestfriending her, just...the problem is that you portray it in such a convincing way--you've thought it out well, with the way the documentary affects Pam, and all that time apart making Pam larger than life for Jim--and that makes my insides hurt. Pathetic, I know. I keep wanting to quit reading but you write the story so well that I keep coming back.
I'm never gonna go for the Pryan, never ever, but in a fic like this, I can at least understand people who do.
Ok. I'm going back to my happy place now, where Jim and Pam are best friends. Best! Friends!
Author's Response: Heh. Thank you?
