I love this exchange:
“Hey. I haven’t heard a yes yet.” He whispers in her ear.
“Hey. I haven’t seen a ring yet.” She shoots back at him.
Author's Response: Hee! So did I. LOL! Thanks kaystar!

“I think I can fit you in.” - definitely the best use of a double-entendre I've read in quite a while.
Author's Response: HA! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Eeeeeee! This made me all kinds of happy! Yay!!
Author's Response: So the consensus seems to be Eeeeeeeeee! LOL! Thanks aggiegurl!

EEEE!! You did it again...made me all sorts of smiley and happy. Loved how real and JAMy this felt. So much fun to read!
Author's Response: Thanks yippee!! Glad you liked it.

Absolutely perfect! Honestly, my favorite moment? When he looked at his mother and said, "So."
Don't know why. I just know I went, "Yes! That's Jim!"
*yay*, Krissy ;)
Author's Response:
It's frightening how clearly I can hear him or see his face when I write him. I'm glad you approve. Now let's just hope that someday we get to see him screw up asking her onscreen. :)

Very nice. I love the reveal, and that Pam makes him ask "right"!
Author's Response: Hee! Poor Jim. He was so sure of himself but in the end it got the best of him. Glad you liked it!

Aw. I love Pam's fear about 'setting the date.' After three years with Roy, you'd have to be. I loved this.
Author's Response: I know. Seriously. Glad you liked it!!

That was sweet of you to write that for those spoilerfree ladies. Very sweet fic.
Author's Response: It's the very least I could do. Thanks!

This is firmly in the 'if only' category. Going all swoony here. The last line was especially cute and slyly sexy too (I'm a sucker for a double entendre.) As usual, a real treat.
Author's Response:
Yes. If only...
I was pretty proud of myself for the last line - gotta tell ya :) Glad you liked it too!

Well, I'm glad we spoilerphobes gave you a "second chance" to write us a story! (Thank you, thank you!).
This was hilarious, and tense, and touching, and sexy, and awesome. I love it. I think maybe Jim does better when he doesn't over-think things. Also? I have my great-grandmother's ring, so that detail made me almost cry. Lovely.
Author's Response:
You are most welcome nqllisi. It was my pleasure. I almost did a second chapter of Beautiful showing the proposal but I loved the way I ended it too much to muss it up.
And that's so sweet about your great-grandmother's ring. My cousin just used ours for her engagement ring too so it was on my mind. I've always loved that idea.

Wow. This is a story even a SpoilerWhore could love ;) No, really I like that Jim would want his proposal to be perfect for her but in the end it doesn't really matter. And I loved the banter- so true to their characters. Sorry, I always run out of adjectives to describe how much I like your work! So that was scrumdiddlyumptious. How's that? Hee.
Author's Response:
SpoilerWhores are always welcome to read. I just wanted to make amends. :)
And of course it wouldn't matter HOW he did it. I mean c'mon....it's JIM.
Scrummdiddlyuptious? Well that's just lovely. :)

So great! Loved the banter. And LOVE Jim proposing. GAH!
Author's Response:
Jam banter....ProposingJim? Season 2 DVDs? Pretty much a perfect day in my estimation. ;)

This was great! I love proposal/engagement fics that don't get overly cheesy. And I have a huge fondness for flustered!Jim. Really good job. Especially this line:
' “Soon right?” She asks and he’s struck by how worried she sounds. '
What a great, subtle reference to the whole Roy debacle. Good insight into Pam's insecurities that would carry on into her relationship with Jim.
Oh, and the last line-- TWSS.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. I'm glad that came across about Pam. I didn't want to do a total InsecurePam story and liked the idea of Jim being unsure of himself for a while.
Oh and the TWSS??? Totally intentional. ;)

Awwwww! I know I was a brat yesterday when I said all you need is Jim+Pam+fluff but I really do think that's all it takes! Thanks for this - I'm already having a crappy day at work and this helps so much.
Author's Response: Awww. You weren't a brat. You are right. It's usually all I need but sometimes I need a push to write on demand. :)
