Summary: Past Featured Story

“I need someplace to stay.” She said this so softly he had to strain to hear her in the stillness of the evening, leaning toward her slightly.  Something inside of him suddenly wanted to protect her.

I love everything about the way you choose this story to be :).

I can't wait to see where it's heading (because I have an inkling and it's yummy...).

Keep up the good work!

On the long side? Not long enough say I (/IrishJim). Beautifully written (as ever) and I particularly enjoyed Busted!Jim when Pam called him on his bending of the truth to the policeman.

You tease! What a place to leave us hanging at! But very beautifully written... as ever... I love this story so much.

Author's Response: Awesome! I hereby dedicate the next chapter to you. Oh, except that it happens to be a really angsty one. How about chapter 5, you'll like that one a lot better. Unless you're really into the angst, in which case you're welcome to chapter 4. Okay, how about the next two chapters. That way you can take your pick! Thanks for the review! ;)

This is mad cute. I love the mix of Fancy New Beesly but still with some self-confidence issues. And Jim is the world's most adorable dork. Awesome job.

I'd love to see dinner with Pam's mom... hint, hint...



Author's Response: Thanks a lot Grape Soda! I would love to write about Jim meeting Pam's mom but there are so many other fics that deal with this and do it so well, it'd be hard to have a different take. Thanks for the feedback!

LOL. I love the line about being full of tryptophan.

I'm with Jim on this one... I don't think any sale could get me out of bed at 4a.m. Although I did queue in a very long line of people until 2a.m. for the last Harry Potter novel... but that's just good sense :).

Great characterization here- especially our boy Halpert.

This story is lovely. I can't wait to see where it goes next.

And this chapter really got to me. I love the email format (it always seems to work well in fic) and drunkPam! is always fun to read. And my "Jim" is currently away from home... in Australia (!) and I miss him terribly too.



Author's Response: Thanks so much, Grape Soda.  Wow, Australia.  That's... a distance.  And a bad word in Office-land :) but I'm sure a lovely place to actually visit.  I hope your "Jim" isn't going to be gone too long.  Thanks a lot for the comments. :)

This is a lovely concept and very well written!

Author's Response:

Well, he doesn't need a third!  Resolutions 1 and 2 say it all. :)

As for the concept, it occurred to me three nights ago, and I thought I'd better write it quickly, before someone else posted a resolution story!  I still have to check to see if someone did that last year, although resolutions would have been different then.  (Hmm... there's a concept.  Last year's resolutions...)  

I'm so glad you liked this, Grape Soda.  Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Yes!!! As much as I'm dying for Jim to do something huge and spectacularly romantic I've been harboring this secret desire for Pam to propose for a while now. It's so unconventional and so FNB and so... them.

Kudos to you for a beautiful fic!

Author's Response: Hey there Grape Soda. Thanks for the lovely review...it\'s a tad weird writing about Jim and Pam walking around London and flat out bizarre imagining Dwight listening to blanket stories in Witney! Thanks again, BAx

YES! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is exactly the sort of thing I envisaged when I proposed the "mistletoe" challenge. However, you've penned this ten thousand times more eloquently than I ever could have dreamed. Well done you!

Author's Response: No, thank you for sharing that prompt with us. The best kinds of prompts are very open-ended, leaving any interested authors plenty of room to explore the possibilities. At the time that your prompt got posted, I was working on a story that took place in Feb. 2006, containing many of the elements that ended up in By Night. I couldn\'t find a way to anchor it, but your prompt provided the structure that I desperately needed.
