Author's Response: Thank you so much for such a great and thoughtful review. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly. Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.

Oh, that chapter was pretty exciting itself.

And Mark was hilariously awesome!

Buckle up? Like for a bumpy ride? I am excited for this ride, but a tad scared too... and am looking forward to see what you have in store.
That was such a fun and happy chapter. I loved all their interactions in the middle of the crowd. And I love your Mark. Nice work!
Author's Response: a little bumpy, yeah. But don't worry cause it'll be ok lol. Glad you're enjoying it!

Pretty heavy, but my vote goes with 'loved it.' As always, well done. I just love your Mark so much especially his interaction and relationship with Pam.

Every chapter I read, i think the same things: 1. This is insanely gorgeously written. 2. I love your Mark so much! He is perfection. Hilarious perfection.
It is so nice how you emphasize that Pam likes who Jim sees her as, and the person that he makes her be (okay, you explain it so much more beautifully). It is just so true to these characters and just really lovely.
This story is a great combination of serious and fluffy. Well done!
Author's Response: thank you!!!! yeah I thought it was a really interesting idea to sort of write about the pedestal that Jim has Pam on, but write it in a positive way so that it helps her grow and try to live up to that. Anyway, I digress, but thank you.

Oh, poor Jim! Looking forward to Jim's future thwarted attempts and his one success.
I love that Jim has a ring so quickly. I think this is just how he would act!

I was really saddened by Jim's attempts... as he continued to fail, I just got sadder and sadder for him. I love how you had so much hope and happiness but with a bit of frustration.
And the end made all the frustration worth it. Nice work!
Author's Response: Sorry there was so much happening against Jim - but at least he did figure it all out in the end. :-) I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!!

That was awesomely cute. Really glad you finished it! I think a series is a great idea. Would be a lot of fun!
Author's Response: Great name, desert island! I think that the series would be fun, well maybe it wouldn't be fun for pam and Jim. But in the end I could make it worth their while. Thanks for the kind review and thanks for being patient with me taking so long to finish.

I really enjoyed this. Perfect reworking of the ep (and added good stuff afterwards) with original events.
I just love that Pam wore matching underwear and then told Jim and was embarrassed. And when he ignored the IMs, so perfect because I think he would have done that that day. But with a little persistence from Pam he gave in. And eventually got what he wanted. Nice work!

I just discovered this and think this forst chapter here is really excellent. The portrait is a really nice metaphor for Pam's life.
Well done losing your creative writing virginity! It usually isn't so good your first time!
Author's Response: Thanks desert island! Yes, it may have been my first time, but it was still awkward and I was nervous, but I it was also exuberant and left me wanting more. (Oh gosh, I've got to stop. )

She completely understands about the negative space... hmmm. I wonder what she will do with this newfound understanding...
'She felt herself becoming braver as she learned that the attention was not something to fear, that it could, indeed, be helpful. ' I think this is really true of Pam. Nice work.
Author's Response: Oh, there are lots of things she can do. :) Thanks for the review!!
