this is my favorite version of a proposal story so far. it's not overly romantic, but he still plans it out and is preciously sweet and i love it. i LOVE that Pam is friends with old Jewish women in her apartment building and that Jim is Jewish. i absolutely love Jonathan, and I love seeing how different people write him, but this is just precious. how he teases Jim and then is just perfectly big brother to Pam. I love it. I'm off to read the third chapter. :) 

Summary: An AU set in Philadelphia in which Pam moves into Jim's apartment building. General spoilers up through the end of season 4 are subject to appear.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah I love when an author can balance believable and different; I\'m gad you think I\'m doing a good job with that. Thanks again!

Date: June 25, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: Life's been stinking and your heart's been shrinking

i love it. i love the parallels between those situations, and i hate the thought that angela would say this to dwight, but i can maybe see it happening. and you wrote it so well!

Summary:

This will be a series of self-contained chapters (oneshots) exploring various "what ifs" pertaining to episodes spanning seasons one through three. Each chapter will examine how things would've gone differently if either Jim or Pam had responded to a given situation the way that (most) fans had wanted or almost expected them to.

For example, the first chapter focuses on how things would've happened differently if Jim had confessed during those twenty-seven seconds of silence on the booze cruise when we were all holding our breath and hoping he would.

Among the other chapters I have mapped out: What if all the reminders of Jim in "Gay Witch Hunt" had provoked not a small, sad smile from Pam at the end of the episode, but rather, had motivated her to take action -- drive to Stamford to see him for the first time in four months? Or what if Jim had responded to Pam's text in "Diwali" via a post-Jagermeister phone call? What if Jim had walked in on Pam crying at the end of "Back From Vacation"? (...You get the idea.)

Again, though, each chapter will be confined to an episode, so it will essentially be a series of oneshots that are unrelated to each other.

i am so excited that you're writing this. i pretty much always love your stories and this looks promising. i just have to tell you that i'm glad you're just rewriting the moment. it's cool to think about how those confession moments could have changed but then leave it to work itself out.  too often we get the changed confession and then a worn out story about how they work it out. i'm glad that we get something fresh and new and a series of unrelated one shots. i can't wait for you to update, i'm way excited!

i love this. i love that they're so in love, that  kelly comforts jim, that he PROPOSED!!! but most of all, i love that Pam doesn't automatically happily adjust to life in Brooklyn. She takes time to make that transition. This is real and honest, and i love it. i can't WAIT for more updates. i also love that Jim asks if he's gonna get lucky. just needed to add that tidbit :) 

Author's Response: Aww.  You're very sweet.  I'm close to finishing up the next installment - wherein Jim is close to getting lucky - or maybe all the way there. ;) We'll see.  Thanks so much for the review!!!

i love it! these last two chapters were perfect. i love the resolution and that it happened quickly, yet not perfectly. leaving it open ended is wonderful too. i'm assuming you're not writing an epilogue type thing? I think it's pretty incredible as is. anyway, i love love love it. great job!

You write the sorrow of the situation so well. it's not too dramatic, but not too sappy or flippant either. i'm really enjoying it and i hope you update soon. they have to find their way back to each other, right?? :)

ok, i am loving this. it's such an interesting AU. i don't like how Jim's letting himself be abused, but I do like the idea that he was desperate to find a forever kind of love, he just looked in the wrong place. i'm very excited to read more! 

Author's Response: So I\'m really late, but trying to catch up on responding here. Thank you for taking the time to review! Jim is kind of messed up right now...let\'s hope Pam can straighten him up! :-)

Summary: She never just says ‘we’re engaged.’ It’s always ‘we’re getting married.’ It’s like she has to convince people that this time is for real.

Not angsty, more like just realistic.

jenna is REALLY persistent about this, has anyone noticed?  maybe she's bored of kissing john.  no, i take it back, i don't believe it could be true ;)
