Dam you're good.

This rivals the actual proposal and house purchase in such a lovely way. You write these characters as well as TO writing staff does.

I really like it! I was very nice to read, you capture the characters, created images on my head while I was reading it and you make me smile. Really great!

What a lovely piece! I love that Pam calls Jim out on being sneaky. I also love that he went to all this trouble but didn't do anything official without her consent- that's how it should be. The dialogue is spot-on and beautiful. The only thing I don't like is that this is your only other story! I want to read more from you!

Happy first story here!  And such a sweet one. Very romantic proposal. 

Author's Response: Thanks for the first-timer welcome! I'm really delighted by the response. Sweet and romantic was what I was going for, so I'm glad you got that from it.

Aw, I think this might be the most appropriately perfect proposal for these two ever! He got her house with the terrace, *squee!* Too cute. So much better than fireworks.


Author's Response: Wow, really? Thanks for saying that! I know there are a lot of proposal fics out there (like a LOT), but I think this would be pretty perfect too. Fireworks aren't so bad either, as long as they're not interrupted by Andy. ;-)

This particular method of proposing would certainly kick Pam's ass! ;)  It sounds like a wonderful house for them; your descriptions give it life.  Nice job!

Author's Response: Thank you. I worked really hard getting the descriptions right, because I can see the house in my head so clearly and I wanted to get that out on the page. I'm glad it worked for you!

Awesome, sweet story. I love how you've captured them and it feels like a real possibility...
I'll agree with another reviewer that it works beautifully as a onehot, but would love to see this future unfold!

Will wait to read more from you either way.

Author's Response: Thanks for the nice words. I haven't had much luck continuing this, but I'm working on other stuff and I hope you'll enjoy it as much!

Aww, that's so adorable! I love how Pam has him figured out, even if she doesn't know exactly what he's up to. Great work!

Author's Response: Thank you! I really like your writing, so it means a lot to me that you like this. Much appreciation.

Blanca, I'm choked up. This was so sweet and lovely.  Great job.

Author's Response: That's pretty much what I was going for. I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you!

This is just great :) I love the idea of Jim finding her house for her! Beautiful

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for your sweet review.

Oh, I love it! What a great way for Jim to propose! A little skeevy with the camera crew tips, but I love them having this private moment in their soon-to-be new house :)

Author's Response: Thanks for your comment! I thought about your "skeevy" reaction and I think you're right, so I changed that part a little. I didn't want it to get in the way of the gesture he's making here. So I really appreciate your feedback and help in making the story better.

Blanca, this is an outstanding first story!  I like the subterfuge of getting Pam in the house without telling her what he's doing.  I love all the little details you included and Jim's proposal is just beautiful:

Your rules, Beesly. You said you wouldn't move in with me unless we're engaged. And since I found the perfect house, you leave me no choice. Marry me, Pam, and let's make a life here. Together.

Great stuff!  It stands quite nicely on its own but you could certainly take us into their future together.



Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was a little nervous about my first one, but everyone has been so kind. Your review really made me smile. It's a great feeling having your words quoted back to you. Thanks for reading and responding.

I love it!! I really hope this doesn't turn AU. Please continue!!!!

Author's Response: I have a feeling the show is going to take a different path, but I know I'd love to see this! Thanks for your nice words.
