She thinks it'sprobably the most perfect first date ever. I think she may be right. Great talking heads...love them beaming at each other. Love them finally happy. Thanks for a swooningly satisfying conclusion! (And, re: last chapter...just, yum. No, make that double yum.)

oh, 69cups -- best NYE party ever! Love how you ended this with a talking head -- very Office!
Author's Response: Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews, lisahoo! I'm so glad you liked this. I know I was taking a chance writing Jim being so open to the camera, but he knows that they know, so he'd be honest without saying everything.

Okay, I would give anything to get a talking head from Jim - following a party he attended at Pam's (or even just a party he went to that she also attended) - with him saying, "She and I...well, I'm sure you can figure it out."
I think that'd be an excellent way for the writers to let us know that finally, all is well. ;o)
Excellent job on this - I really hate to see it end.
Author's Response: Thank you, girl7, thank you for saying that. I definitely think Jim would say something, he's been pretty transparent to the camera all along about the way he feels about Pam, so I definitely think he'd say something along those lines.

*sigh*
I think you wrapped it up really well - I feel like bringing it back to the office sort of brought it full circle.
This story has really been a pleasure to read. Beautiful job :o)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I appreciate your review!

Awesome ending! I was surprised at how open they were to the cameras but it still rocked! And considering how her first date with Roy went, I'm sure a diner was a nice change. Bravo!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I think they (at least Jim) would be pretty open about it. Pam's talking head didn't reveal much, but I think Jim knows that the camera knows his feelings for Pam, so I think he'd want to show some sort of sign that everything worked out okay.
But seriously, I appreciate all of your reviews along the way, it helped me out immensely in getting this story finished.

"She and I...well, I'm sure you can figure it out."
That would be a perfect way to introduce their new relationship to the camera! Kudos, noodles, and a well-written and well-paced story!
Author's Response:
Thank you...I'm glad you think that part was okay. I was unsure at first, but Jim would have to say something. I think he knows what we've seen all along, and he'd want the cameras to know that everything finally worked out.
Thank you so much for every one of your reviews!

"Wow," Pam says against his neck. "I was just going to resolve to start making my bed every day. You so have me beat."
That was the best line, like ever! Yay for true love :-)

I was so happy to see the new chapter right away, but so sad to see the YES for completed. Great last chapter. I loved Pam's talking head! Thank you for this delightful story - I'm going to miss it!

Squeee - I totally loved this chapter! I was a bit worried when Kelly dragged Pam out to watch the ball drop, but you didn't let us down. So beautifully hot and romantic and what we are all waiting for.

because it's the first time all night her skin's been bare, and well, because.
Gah. It's offical. I'm at your mercy. Seriously. I'm willing to cough up some serious cash if it'll mean you'll update sooner.
Author's Response: No need...I should have an update by tonight!

25 phone books -- that is perfect. Is is midnight yet?
Author's Response: Thanks! Almost midnight...I'm looking forward to writing it. Jim Halpert by your side on New Year's Eve? TONS of possibilities there.

Ahhh! You write sexual tension like no one else - this is so perfect, so understated and so them.
Author's Response: Thanks girl7, I'm really glad you said that because a lot of times I get impatient and just want them to jump each others bones already. But I love to read sexual tension, it just makes everything so much sweeter, so that's why enjoy writing it so much.

God, what a beautiful, sexy chapter. When she walked in the room and closed the door behind her, I swear I stopped breathing.
Author's Response: Thanks! I wasn't sure if Pam really would do something like that, or if she'd be like "Gah! What are you doing in here?" But I think by that moment, after everything that's been building up between them, she'd be willing to spend any minute alone with Jim that she could!

I'm confused - when Karen and Roy are on the sofa people are watching the clock because it is almost midnight but when Roy leaves it is 11:16. Great job writing Karen's handling of such an awkward situation.
Author's Response: Thanks for pointing that out...I should have worded it differently. By watching the clock I didn't mean counting down or anything yet, just that they were aware that it was less than an hour away. I'm gonna revise that. Thanks for reviewing!

Still so good. Last couple of chapters...majorly swoon-inducing. The bit with the sweater? Oh yeah. And it's not even midnight yet! Thanks for keeping these updates coming so quickly - I'm an impatient girl!

Screw midnight! Yay! Great chapter, I really love how hesitant and just Pam her confession is! I have read a lot of fics where she comes across not as herself of not even as Fancy New Beesley but this was really good!

My god, you are so good at the cliff hangers (among other things). You capture the inevitable awkwardness/angst between Jim and Karen really well here - and I particularly love the understated way you've written Karen. Bravo!
Next chapter...

I am loving this series! I can't wait for the next one. I do feel for Karen but poor girl didn't realize what she got herself into.
I need to know what happens now that they're alone together!

Loved this (poor Karen) - "Starting with the fact that she'd taken a chance with him, she'd given up a lot of opportunities to follow him, and she'd done everything she could to be whatever he needed. And it turns out that's all she was. Something he needed. Not something he wanted."
