Okay, I kind of love that you have pictures to go with this story. It's like a bonus gift with each chapter!
I like that you didn't go through all of the arguing, crying, etc. between Pam and Roy. It's the sort of thing that I would feel the need to write out in detail, but it's good that you didn't because that's not what this story needed. I think I sometimes go overboard when I write and end up writing about every little thing that happens, but that's not always the best approach. Anyway, all this rambling to say: I admire your brevity. Ironic that I rambled my way into saying that, huh? ;)
Author's Response: Haha. Okay, I seriously didn't just because I would have no idea how to even attemt to write it. I love how everyone (okay you and Alamos) love my brevity, but really its just because I can't write longer, without it feeling strange. I would feel as if I tried to actually write that argument, it would be totally OOC, so I went with simple. But hey, people like it, I like it! :D

I am really enjoying this story, Emily! PostSecret is such an interesting website; this is a great idea for a story. Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: After a crazy day at work, it was so nice to have a MA review. Thanks for the review. I'm so glad you are enjoying it.

Author's Response:

oh I love this story. I just wish the chapters were longer. Either way. Fantastic chapter!
Author's Response: So glad. I know the chapters are short, I am just not good at writin longer. About a page is generally my limit!

I am just adoring this peek at how something as simple as an internet art project could truly affect someone's future. It's completely believable that seeing these secrets would be precisely what Pam needed to set her in motion down a path she had been trying to pretend she could avoid.
Author's Response:
It is amazing that something that small can really affect it. I already know I made a friend based on PostSecret, and just, it may be small, and I am sure that nothing as big this has happened to me. But small things can make big changes.
I figured Pam needed a catalyst, and PS may have just been it.

Love this story! Original spin on the aftermath of Casino Night. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, with all the post Casino Night stories, its hard to find a different angle, so glad this is unique.

Nice... another update. These postcards are killing me. I am glad that you choose to write the break up scene between Roy and Pam simple, yet powerful: There was talking, yelling, crying, screaming. There were times Pam wanted to take it back, take the easy way and stay with Roy.
Author's Response:
Yep, I really am going to try to keep the updates regular. Hopefully I can get another one up tomorrow before work.
Thanks so much for your comment about the break up scene. I really wasn't sure how to write that, as it seemed so unlike the Pam we saw in Season Two, Casino Night. The one who said she was staying with Roy. I didn't want either side to really be a loser, both of them I am sure were upset about the loss of he relationship, and I am sure it was hard on both of hem

Great Job!
I love this look at how Pam breaks it off with Roy. I can see her wanting to take it back and take the easy road. But you hit it dead on, because she knew she didn't love him and for the first time she was making a choice for herself.
Author's Response: Thanks. I am so glad that the break up seemed reasonable, I was worried about that. I am so glad that you enjoyed it and took the time to review. Means a lot.
