OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! I literally just squealed some sort of non-verbal yet noise making sound. It was pathetic, however I was so excited. This is literally the best chapter of anything I've ever read. Let me tell you why:
a) NEW YORK CITY - 'nuff said
b) Jim and Pam - together, going to a Christmas party - that Karen will be at (makes no sense, but I love JAM sightings with Karen there
c) Pam's looking at wedding dresses
d) with Jim
e) and he's encouraging her to try them on
f) she's blushing
g) and he's going to propose
This is from a fantasy - it just has to be. Great idea! And I'll keep reading now that I've professed my love for this story.
20/10 for absolute awesomeness.

I've always wanted to go to NYC at Christmas. Actually, I'vc always wanted to go there period. What a romantic place for them to be, well, maybe not the ESPN Zone, but the rest of it. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Trust me ... the Sports Zone (at least the one I've been to) is not romantic at all.

Aw! I liked that. Very sincere and in character. Another nice job, Guten Tag!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

Loved it, loved it, loved it!
I so wish we could have seen this episode... I would have just died to see these characters interact. I love that you gave Pam a moment with David Wallace and threw in a hint of Pam and Karen tension.
Thank you so much, I loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks! I imagined David as a nice, no-nonsense person whom Pam would particularly like. It was a pity he had to unwittingly top off Pam's no good, bad, awful day.

Another item to add to your list of talents: capturing the douchiness (douchebagery? douchefulness?) that is Ryan ; )
Author's Response: Thanks so much, NanReg! My Ryan is like Emperor Palpatine. Take everything he says, multiply by negative 1, and you will have the truth. He says he loves the party. He doesn't. He says Pam had a crush on him. She didn't. But there is a can of whupass headed his way. Not *necessarily* in my story (gotta maintain the requisite mystery, here), but still ...

You've set a great scene, I can't wait to see what happens. (and who can resist Sinatra?)
Author's Response: Thanks! "The Christmas Waltz" is probably my favorite Christmas song. If I heard it, and Pam Beesly were in front of me looking at bridal gowns, I'd melt like old Jello. But let's be honest ... Ryan could probably resist it.

Great beginning. I had never really thought of Ryan's comment about the Christmas party, but now that the idea is there, I'm extremely curious! Loving this Fluffy Goodness with the bridal gown and all too!
Author's Response: Thanks! Gotta give credit to the Office writers and Slayer 79 down below for the underlying idea. And thanks for reminding me to add "Fluff" as a category. Fluff R Us.

What a lovely, funny, sweet story. Michael's comment are totally Michael. Very funny introduction. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

guhhhhhhhhh, my god.
I love nyc at christmas, I've been there for it many time (:
Author's Response: Thanks! I was going to have them go to FAO Schwartz, and have Pam make fun of Jim while he looked for the commemorative Star Wars ornament.

In the city where I live, the Plaza Hotel is a strip club and rooms by the hour type place.
Author's Response: "Jim, Pam, and the One-Hour Motel." Now *that* is a story idea. Somebody could get some great reviews out of that.

Nice to have another fic from you, Guten Tag! Good start. I got a laugh from the inappropriate Michael comments :)
Author's Response: Thanks!

Gah, thank you sooo much - this is my suggestion!
I luuurve where you are going with it. I can't tell you happy I am that you are writing this, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Author's Response: Outstanding! Glad I could fill the gap. It was a great idea.

I like where you're taking this. My only negative comment is the overuse of the word says, "he says, she says, they said..." try and mix it up a little.
I've been hoping someone would write something like this, so yay. Keep writing.
Author's Response: Thank you for the feedback, which I appreciate very much. I find it hard to write dialogue in the office ... where so much of what happens is verbal. How on earth did people ever write "Gilmore Girls" fanfic?

Loving this! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

You know, Guten Tag, there are suprisingly few fanfics that involve Jim and Pam staying at fancy NY hotels and fics that involve this mysterious Christmas party that we never saw, so I'm glad you're writing this. It's a win-win in my book. I have a particular fancy for The Plaza after reading an excellent XF fic many years ago, and it's been sort of my "favorite" ever since. I definitely can see it as a place that Jim and Pam would have splurged on a weekend at some point. I am proud to say that I have used a restroom in The Plaza on a trip to NYC several years ago :-) But that's as close as I've gotten to staying there. So, needless to say, I'm excited to see where this story is going. Please update often, as the well's been a little dry lately and I'm thirsty!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it. My experience runs more toward the Holiday Inn Express, so we're running on imagination here.

DO IT NOW, JIM, DO IT NOW!!
Author's Response: How did he buy the ring a week in, and then wait for almost a year and a half? That's what I want to know.

Ooh, I've been hoping somebody would take up this challenge! Yay!
Excellent start, especially the Michael jokes. I'm looking forward to updates.

Interesting story...I like it so far so don't stop. I've definitely been curious about what happened at this party!
Author's Response: Thanks Don't worry ... no vaporware problem here. The rest is on the stove, warming up.

Oh, I love this idea! I've been hoping for a fic about Jim and Pam at the Christmas party since it was referenced. This is great so far. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Many thanks! And rest assured, there will be more. It was idiocy, not cruelty, that caused me to omit the "To Be Continued" in the chapter notes.
