I just want to shake sweet 16 year old Pam! Like Michael says at the company picnic, she should have had hindsight. I know it will be worth it in the end, though. Here’s to 1996 Pam hopefully taking off those rose colored glasses so the red flags look red!

Oh, Pam... It's difficult to watch someone learn from their mistakes the hard way, but our mistakes are such great teachers. You write it so well that I can still enjoy it!
Thanks for writing!

Keeping it all as a giant story works for me - I feel like it’s easier to keep track of that way.
Oh Pam, all the getting her out of her “comfort zone” that Roy is doing does not spell good news. I like that everyone in her life is trying to point it out. I’m sure she’ll appreciate that in retrospect.
Is that Katy with Jim? Curious to see how that pans out...

Ugh! This Pam! She's got just about everyone telling her Roy's a bad influence. Her best friend, her sister, her parents. I just want to jump through the pages and shout at her "listen to them!" Especially when Roy keeps going on about dropping out of school or doing things like not listening to her. Or especially skipping work. That's something that could REALLY bite her in the ass. Maybe that's a lesson she needs to learn. Gah.
As far as the series idea goes. Well I guess that depends on how long you were thinking of having this go for? If we're talking about the whole almost 10 year relationship with Roy, then maybe it would work. (Though please say you won't drag our JAM loving hearts through all that for so long, please?) However you've also labeled this AU, so does that mean we'll be spared all those years of angst? It's not a bad idea. However in my opinion it's a better idea if you know how long this whole thing is going to go on for. But that's me.
Guh, why Pam? Why? Actually I know why. She still doubts herself and thus settles for good enough rather than great.
