abusePerfect...this was just perfect.
I think you've really nailed Jim's character here, and I liked that. It's always nice to see him as more than just the prankster.
Keep writing such fantastic stuff!

abuseMy FUCK, this is sad. I like that you continue the show's theme of characters not realizing their dreams because they don't have enough confidence in their own abilities to take the chance. I don't usually like fics that contain scenes from a character's childhood, but here you've put it to really good use, and it supports the story and the story's theme rather than detracting from them.

It's interesting to compare Michael's canonical dream--of a wife and children who will be his friends--with Jim's dreams in this fic. Jim is a person who longs for things just as much and as desperately as Michael does; he just handles it differently.

It's interesting that neither one meets with more success than the other. I think that says even more about Jim than it does about Michael; and I think you've captured perfectly exactly *what* it says. It gives me chills. I want to be a writer, myself. Instead I'm going to college to be a teacher.

Thanks for writing; I appreciate it.

abuseVery nice. I really like it. Jim in London reminds me of me in London (not that I've ever been to London, but that's how I'd act). Also, who would make a fax machine that is also a shredder? That seems like a singularly bad idea worthy of Dunder-Mifflin Scranton. :D

I like the idea of Jim planning too far ahead. It seems very Jim-like. I would've liked to have seen how that tendency got him stuck where he is, but still. A lovely piece of writing, and I really like it.

abuseThis was such a good idea and you've written it so well. I love that you showed us such a wide range of times in his life and you made it subtle but clear just what exactly he was planning (and ultimately unable to accomplish). Your last line is killer -- really nice job with this. Thanks so much for sharing!
