roy made me cry. this was such a unique story, i have thought about 'what if it wasnt dwight' many many times. this was so well written and in character. great job.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I love how it really could have been anyone who found Pam, and in the end, Dwight finding her was perfect.

oh my! That was wonderful. Kelly had me laughing, Andy made my skin crawl and Roy made me cry!! that was a great story.

That was so good! I absolutely didn't expect it to be Roy! And he did great too. And the ending? Niiiiice.
Author's Response: Thank you!

Aww that was so cool! I like it how Angela tried to be comforting. It just shows how much people in the office actually care about each other, even though they never say it.
It was well written - especially the last chapter! I was sure it was Jim! It should have been Jim! But I guess that's just part of the office, the person who really needs to know, never finds out.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think that everyone in the office does care about each other, in their own strange little ways. :)

Wow. This was just great.
I love how you use the same line to begin every chapter -- it adds a real sense of connectedness (continuity?) to this story. You did a really nice job with all of the character voices in this piece, but I think my favorite was Roy because even though I obviously want Jim and Pam to end up together, I do have a little bit of a soft spot for Roy just because he's trying so hard now. It's just nice to read a story where he's not a villain -- he cares about Pam and that's nice to remember.
Your last line is killer. I love it.
Thank you so much!
Author's Response: No, thank you for reading and reviewing! I have such a soft spot for Roy nowadays as well...I even wrote a story about him, such is my love lately. :)

Ooh, this was awesome. The Andy and Kelly ones tickled my funny bone, the Toby one was very sweet, and ohhh, that last one. Poor Pam. My heart's aching for her. I can't wait for the new episode so I can see for sure that she's ok again!
Author's Response: Thank you! Hopefully now that she got that out of her system, newepisode!Pam will be determined to get Jim....or at least not help his relationship with Karen again.

I love how this story articulates Pam's pain, but also showcases each of the characters so well. You really got the Kelly-ness of Kelly, the Andy-ness of Andy... I found the Angela and Toby sections particularly touching - Toby is just such a mensch and I loved Angela dropping her brittleness for a rare moment of empathy. And also how Pam responds to Roy comforting her without confusing it with wanting to be with him. Sad and lovely and funny in all the right places.
Author's Response: Thank you, Colette! I can only hope that in the show, Pam doesn't confuse herself into wanting to be with Roy again....

I really like this. Very touching, and I think you captured Pam very well. I especially like Roy's chapter; how there is still a tenderness between them (rightly so). Great work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I think that after ten years, that tenderness will always be there. *sigh*

Really like this last chapter. You've written the comfort of their dynamic so well. :)
Author's Response: Thank You! :)

The best chapter yet. Roy saying "It's not about me, is it?" was so sad. I do hope you continue this.
Author's Response: Thank you! Enough people have said something about continuing that I'm thinking about it...

Very inventive, I must say. I was totally expecting Jim as #5, but you definitely went way above expectation. Go you! This resolution was much more tight and secured, anyway. Way to stand above the rest!!
Author's Response: Thank you, Winky! Having Jim find her seemed too easy.

Chills. At first I thought it was Jim, but I have to tell you, I wasn't disappointed when I realized it was Roy. That moment they shared at the end of the show this week was so poignant (his little "Oh brother" just broke my heart for some reason). I could have easily bought it that he had come upon her crying after Dwight left - or at least, knew she had been crying. Something about that last scene...
Anyway - what a great job here. And your last line here is so touching. Are you planning on continuing this? I'd love to see it with Michael, Darryl, and of course Jim. Ooh, or Karen!
Author's Response:
Thank You! Yeah, that last scene just killed me in BfV...they have such a melancholic vibe together now that breaks my heart. I have such Roy love lately.
I don't know if I'll continue it...though it was tough to NOT do a Michael one. Perhaps I'll reconsider...
Anyway, thank you for the lovely review(s). :)

Awww, Bennie. This one is definitely going into my favorites. LOVED it!!!

New fic category: Top ten heartbreaking endings. That was an inspired fic! Seriously, every character was dead on and the last one was such a killer. I think it is a mark of good writing that you didn't give in and have Jim come out. You made it a good peice without using an obvious plot device (as much as we are all DYING for that particular plot device. maybe a sequel...lol).
Wonderful job, I will definetely be keeping an eye out for your stuff!
Author's Response:
Wow, thank you! Yeah, as much as we all would like Jim to swoop in and dry her tears, it just seemed too...obvious, like you mentioned. :)
Thank you again.

This was such a great collection. While I was hoping the last one would be Jim, I like the way you ended it. That last paragraph KILLED me! So so sad. But you have a great handle on all the characters.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I just couldn't make it Jim...the thought of Roy finding her was too sad to pass up.

This were funny and beautiful and sad and wonderful! I loved this collection!

WOW.
This is just so sweet and just...amazing. I'm glad that you didn't make Jim one of the ones who found her.
Though, what would have happened if it had been Michael? Or Phyllis? Or Creed!!! *giggles*
Thanks.
cheers.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I figured it would be too easy to have Jim find her. Ha, maybe I should expand it, and have more people find her. Thank you again for reading!

Wow. Just wow. You have each one of their voices so perfectly down. I don't even know if I could pick a favorite because they're all so real. (And poor Roy!) I'm very impressed. And sniffing back my own tears.
Author's Response: Awww, thank you! It means so much when I make people cry! (Aaaand that didn't come out right.)

Andy -- a freaking buffoon. Awesome.
Toby -- I can see the hangdog look. Perfect
Kelly -- drama queen -- love her!
Angela -- ice queen, hilarious!
And Roy -- oh you saved the best for last. "It's not about me, is it?" I didn't think this scene could hurt more, but you sure turned up the angst. Wow.
Author's Response: Thank you, lisahoo! I am so glad you liked the Toby part in particular, that section was giving me fits. And I hoped the Roy one would pack that final emotional punch...it made me all depressed just writing it. Thanks. :)
Date: January 08, 2007 07:59 am Title: Tears and Rain
Oh, this is really great. I like the subtle shifts in tone with each person, but that no one can really make Pam feel better, except her. I liked her wanting to tell Kelly everything and get the rumor mill working, but backing off because she feels she doesn't deserve it, and I love her interactions with Toby and Roy.
If a little bit of concrit is OK, I wanted to say that when you do dialogue without tags like "Pam said," it's easier to read if you put action tags like "Angela makes a face" next to that person's dialogue, rather than the other person's, because otherwise it can get a little confusing as to who's saying what.
But that's a minor nit, because I really enjoyed this piece.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much. And I totally appreciate the concrit...the Angela section in particular was rough, I know, in terms of dialogue. (You wouldn't think I'm getting my master's in english, huh?:)) I'll go back later and try to fix it up a bit. But thanks again for the review, they are like crack.
