honestly i dont remember that well the ny story, im sure i read it though.
anyway i love the angstsy part at first although i wasnt quite sure why jim was upset with pam if she didnt actually do anything wrong, bad if she hadnt told him about the kiss and he found out from other ways.
uuhh u know what i really love...the proposal without the clasic "will u marry me" that "stay with me for a long time" was just perfect.
Author's Response: I would give anything to hear a Jim Halpert ask me to stay with him for a long, long time. ;) Thanks for reading/reviewing!

I, too, would have been happy with New York on it's own, but this little Apple was very delicious!
I really enjoyed how you weaved in parts of the show's proposal in with your proposal (like the head bobbing part).
Thanks for this gift!
Author's Response: Thanks for the read and review! =)

Pulp is not disgusting, dammit. Otherwise, this was very nice. /Jim I love serious, angsty Jim and the proposal was extremely well done. I was okay with New York as you'd left it, but reading this, well, it was fun to hear the ever after, after all.
Author's Response: Thanks, jazzfan. I had that proposal so clearly in my head, the way Jim would go about it, so I'm happy to hear that enough people liked it; it was hard to translate, I guess you could say. Oh, and P.S. You're wrong. Stringy fruit guts are disgusting.

Ah, just loverly! A PERFECT epilogue for New York. One of the best proposals I've read.
Author's Response: Thanks, Ann! As short as that proposal was, those words took a lot of thought. Glad you enjoyed this conclusion.

Do I remember New York? Do I remember NEW YORK?! Even though I thought that story was glorious in and of itself, I do believe I was a rabid member of Team Sequel ; ) Why is it that I love Angsty!Jim so very much? Is it because everything is written on his face, a perfect accompaniment to the heart on his sleeve? I just love that insecurity. The ending was a very pleasant surprise.
"Stay with me," he breathes, shaking his head almost imperceptibly..."Stay with me for a long, long time." Whew. Chills. I <3 you, Kate :D
Author's Response: Ugh, I love angsty Jim for the same reasons you listen. He's so vulnerable, and healing him in a story is so fulfilling. It's like repeating "the Job" and "Money" over again for yourself and for everyone to read. I'm always glad that you pick out certain lines, lady, because they're often the ones that are in my head before the story is even written. And the one you italicized is no different. Thanks for always reading/reviewing. =) And thanks for being a "rabid member of Team Sequel!"

That was amazing, like my jaw jurts from smiling. I don't know why, but I love the idea of Jim asking Pam to "stay with me for a long, long time," instead of sking her to marry him. That was soooo romantic and just.... guh, angsty, romantic and slightly smutty. I love tipsy yanana :p I encourage you to drink more ;)
Author's Response: Yes, the booze totally wanted Jim to be desperately romantic, maybe a little dramatically so, in this one. If I have a shot liver one day, it's all your fault. Thanks for reading/reviewing. I'm glad you liked this one!

Beautiful. Just beautiful. You're awesome!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

You rocked this best-of-both-worlds epilogue! It's something that one could read who only reads quick one-shots, since it stands alone so sharp and pure. At the same time it so seamlessly offers us (ok, ME) a precise ending to NY (which is by FAR my favorite thing ever written by you- and that's saying something, since everything you write is golden.)
Adding the ring being purchased the first week was completely unexpected! The whole ending was... when he told her to put on the lotion, I thought it was because he wanted to remember the day (getting through the first big fight, him knowing she really doesn't want Roy and she's happy with him/getting over his insecurities, etc) but then you pull out the big guns. WOOOO! I was ohmygodohmygodohmygodd-ing along with her. It felt so spur of the moment and perfectly them and I'm just a total goner! You rock my world, Kate!
Author's Response: I'm glad it served as a conclusion for NY for you, Ang. And I'm so happy that you enjoyed NY so much. That story has received such kind reviews; it totally warms my little 'shipper heart. And I'm glad that you liked this one, too! It was pretty fun to write. Thanks for the reviews and read, as always.

This is pure perfection! I love all of it, but the part about him wanting to remember the smell of the lotion in connection to the moment he proposes is fabulous! I get that, where a smell will remind me of something real specific, so I totally relate to that. This is a really perfect balance of angst and romance. Just perfect! I'm a lame duck when it comes to the boards. Always late to the party but I'm glad there was something out there that got you to write this great bit of jam fiction!
Author's Response: Thanks, Deedldee! Don't you love when your senses connect memories like that? Just like listening to a really great song and remembering the summer it came out of years ago. What a great feeling. I'm so glad you liked this story.

Woo 1st review!
I have to say, I felt a bit guilty when I joined in the demand for a sequel. Obviously the ending of 'New York' seemed quite sudden and to a greedy fan, unfinished. It wasn't that it needed to be improved, just that I couldn't bear it ending. But then I started to realise that putting that pressure on an author was kind of unfair. And more than that, you did the brave thing by ending it in a beautiful way. A sign of a great piece of fiction is leaving your readers wanting more.
So imagine my joy when I discover you've struck the the best balance. This could be a completely separate oneshot and leaving New York untouched. Or to most, and those greedy fans of yours, it's a wonderful continuation/conclusion. It's steamy, it's angsty and there's a bonus proposal thrown in!
Bravo, yanana, bravo.
Author's Response: See, I felt a bit guilty because when I tried to explain that I didn't know if I had it in me to continue NY, I kind of felt like I was shooting everyone down when, really, you guys were just being so nice about the story I wrote. I was totally flattered by everyone's reactions to NY, because that was just some story I pounded out in a few days. But I'm so glad that you liked NY and this story, too. Like you said, I think it'll work as a oneshot and as the conclusion to NY. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, and again -- I'm really flattered and so appreciative of everyone that wanted more of NY. You guys totally make my day.
