Thanks for updating! I've been following this story from the beginning, and absolutely love it. It's definitely helping to suppress those Summer Hiatus blues. I especially like the interactions between Angela/Dwight and Jim/Pam. You've also got everyone's voice, especially Jim's, down perfectly. I look forward to reading more soon!!

Author's Response: I'm glad you've enjoyed the series. Comments like this really give me the motivation to keep going with it. Thanks!

Great story! I really like how each attempted proposal is romantic, without being cheesy or schmaltzy. You also do a great job setting the scene, adding so much detail that, as the reader,it feels like I'm there actually witnessing this all going down. Can't wait for the next update!!

Author's Response: Thanks, Cricket!  I am trying very hard to make the situations seem believable, even though the idea that he could have it go wrong 4 times does seem to stretch credibility.  But it's just a testament of Jim's patience!!  :-)  Thanks for the review!

Wow, what a great story. You've struck the perfect mix of romance, fluff, angst, and humor. There are going to be more chapters, right? Because really, you can't leave me hanging like that. Please update soon!

Author's Response:

Yes, there will be more chapters.  I'm thinking about 5.  Chapter 2 should be up sometime this week. 

Thanks for responding and stay tuned for more delicious JAM.

What a great story, Moxie. I love how it's a completely different take on season 3, with Jim and Pam clearing the air in the first chapter, and then having to deal with the repercussions of their choices, ie Karen. Also, it's really refreshing not having to wait an entire story for Jim and Pam to get together. I also liked that Pam didn't back down after Karen caught her and Jim. Instead of reverting to her pre-FNB behavior, and avoiding the situation, she met it head on. Plus, conference room making out is always HOT! I'm really looking forward to seeing how they handle the situation with Karen. Please update SOON!

Great story, Kells! You've got the Jim-Pam banter pitch-perfect, which made me almost believe this really happened in the show. Wishful thinking! Awesome, awesome job, made me squee just reading it!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks Cricket.  I have to say that's the best compliment I could get.  I feel like it takes me out of a story when the Jim/Pam dialog doesn't ring true, so I'm happy you feel I've managed to capture it here.  Thanks for reading and reviewing! -K

Love your two, new Office scripts! You've got character voice down pitch perfect, and your humor is right in line with what we see every Thursday night on our televisions. I really felt like I was reading an actual script for next season, as opposed to fanfic. It was that good. I also particularly liked how Pam hasn't been in the office, because I've always been intrigued to see how exactly that would alter the overall dynamic. It's been really interesting to watch your take on that. You also do THs especially well. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: I\'m a little late catching up on these reviews, but I just wanted to say thank you for the comment. I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying it so far!

What a wonderful chapter! This is exactly how I've always imagined the morning-after the Big Date to be. It's like you read my mind! :) In the beginning, I love how you take a moment for Pam to let the fact that Jim's lying next to her, sink in. That time before he wakes, when she's marvelling in the "oh my God, Jim's really in my bed...this isn't all a dream" state is fantastic. I also like how, in the end, you also address Jim moving his desk back to the original spot. A very important, yet understated moment. Wonderful job!  

I beg you though, one day you have to write the first date fic that preceded this chapter, as I think we're on the same page about what happened. :)
