Title: Chapter 5: Absolutely I Do
Hi there, I'm Megan. I just signed up for this place after reading this story, because I promise you that only this story could keep me wide awake, sobbing at 2 in the morning. This is incredible, I'm am truly impressed, although I'm mad at you for making me crying like a baby this late at night! LOL. I hate reading, but this story is grabbing me so tightly, I need more. I don't even know where to begin....uhm....Okay, I usually object to reading stories that are of Jim and Pam in the future, because I'm afraid the story will not match my already determined future for them (in my head, of course). But wow, I am SO glad I gave this one a try. I don't really know how to critique this, other than your breaking my heart LOL. I've read so many Jam Fictions in the past that I had to stop reading, for two reasons: 1. They were inappropriate and even though I am mature, I didn't feel comfortable reading them. or 2, the MOST important: They became unrealistic to me, I could no longer hear Jim's voice or Pam's voice as I read the dialogue, and I could no longer picture the two of them in the scenario the author created. And the reason the tell you this is the best Jam Fiction I've ever read is because I never for a second doubted that Jim or Pam would be saying these things or acting this way in the situation you created. And that, in my opinion, is the best quality a fiction could have, it brings out so much more emotion and realism and it means so much more to me. Alright, I'm not going to ramble or else you'll get bored of me already (This is my first post on this site!). But I am truly in awe of your work. Brilliant job....and don't keep me in suspense much longer!
Author's Response: I’m extremely flattered and thrilled with that you’ve taken the time to read and review my story. I just want to give you a huge hug because what you’ve said meant a lot to me. First off, sorry about the sobbing at 2 in the morning—I hope I can make up for it with lots of fluff in later chapters. Second, I’m totally with you when it comes to fanfics because I also have their future (and present—I know weird) predestined in my head. The unrealistic thing is also a big deal for me. For example, I can’t picture Jim being overly angry or Pam being overly independent. So, it really flatters me that my efforts in keeping them in character haven’t gone unnoticed, even in the scenario I’ve created. These characters and the show are very dear to me, and to know that I did okay in depicting them just sends me over the moon. I can’t thank you enough for all your kind words! This will totally help me get through the day at my job as a secretary/receptionist today! (Oh, the irony!) And I promise there will be more chapters coming your way!\r\n \r\n
