Hee! Thwarted by Pam's randiness. Now that's one that I did not expect! I sure hope Jim tells Pam about all his failed attempts when he manages to finally get it right.
Author's Response:
yes, I thought it was a nice touch that Pam's lust for Jim got the better of her (and the proposal!) - I mean, he's hauling pumpkins around the farm for her, the least she can do is show her appreciation!
Thanks for reading, belsum!

This did seem like the perfect romantic setting, but Michael and Dwight ruin it.
Author's Response:
yeah, it could have been a hell of a moment if they hadn't been interupted..... :-)
Thanks for reviewing!

"But all he could think about was the ring in his pocket, and how he couldn't imagine this as the type of proposal story he'd one day be telling his children and grandchildren." This was too cute. I love that Jim is thinking about their future children and grandchildren while the future mother and grandmother is trying to ravish him in the cornfield!
Author's Response: Well, there will always be more cornfields.... :-) Glad you like it so far, Kaystar!!

I know I've been horrible at reviewing lately, and I promise I'll try harder...as long as you keep posting these awesome Happy!Pam/Jim fics...so far, it's a great way to pass the summer.
Author's Response: Awwww - thanks, Luna! I know how hard it gets to find time to review. I'm just glad you are reading and enjoying it! Working on the 4th proposal (attempt!) now....

oh man.. that is the perfect tough situation! have sex with pam or propose to pam? haha. however, i do have to request, please don't let him propose to her in bed. there's just something so... anticlimactic about it. they can go at it after she says yes. or whatever. knowing you, he could be proposing to her in the checkout line at food lion and i'd still love it.
Author's Response:
I can assure you there will be no bed proposals. I agree with your reasoning completely. And I hadn't thought about the check-out line in Food Lion, but now that you mention it... ;-)
Thanks for the review, StarShine!!

This story has made me really appreciate being a girl and not having to deal with the whole proposal thing. I would feel really bad for Jim if I didn't enjoy reading about his silent torture so much!
Author's Response: Glad you are enjoying it, bealsa!! At least he already has the girl, right - even if the ring is still in the drawer. ;-)

Haha....that's a tough choice: sex or proposal. Of course proposing at any DM event is a bold choice but would be appropriate given their history. Very much anticipating the actual proposal...
Author's Response:
Yes, he should have known better - but the boy's in love. ;-)
Hang in there - I hope the one that works makes us all happy...!

Aww! Oh, well, it was pretty silly of Jim to plan anything with Dwight and Michael around! When Jim sent Dwight and Michael into the haymaze, I just assumed he and Pam wouldn't go in at all. You know, "Sure, I'll meet you at the playground after school so we can fight. But if I'm not there, start without me."
Author's Response: Haha - yes, that would probably have been a better idea, but Jim's an optimist. Maybe he'll get it right next time. ;-)

I wanna have sex with Jim in a corn maze... wait?! Who said that?!
Author's Response: So it's true - corn is a an aphrodisiac. Because you'd NEVER say anything like that otherwise. ;-)

God, I'm loving this story. Poor Jim.
Author's Response: hee - I'm so glad!! :-) Thanks for reviewing.

ok, seriously... what was Jim thinking? he turned down sex with PAM in a cornfield, b/c he was so preoccupied with proposing... and then he didn't even do it! propose that is... anyway, i really enjoyed this b/c it was hilarious, but i can already see the tortured Jim coming through. I'm ready to suffer with him as long as i'm promised a happy ending, simply b/c i enjoy your writing so much :)
Author's Response:
yes, I'm so mean to Jim. But it will all work out in the end. I think. ;-)
Thanks for reading!!

Really fun story. You capture the sweet (and the saucy) so well. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response:
I'm happy you are enjoying it - I enjoy writing trying-to-hard!Jim. And imagine Pam's reaction when she hears about all the missed opportunities!
Thanks for reading and reviewing - I really appreciate it.

Tsk, tsk, naughty Pam (heh). This is so cute, and poor Jim's frustration is palpable. Nice again! (This is no surprise!)
Author's Response: Yes, I couldn't resist making Pam the instigator in this one. She is the new Pam and going after what she wants, after all. ;-) Thanks for reading along!
Date: June 20, 2007 09:44 am Title: Autumn DM Employee Appreciation Night
dammit dwight! Oh I can feel the frustration that is going to eat away at me for the next two chapters.
the ending will be even sweeter that way. :)
Author's Response: you can feel the frustration? Jim's going to end up just chucking the ring at Pam's head after two more of these!! Thanks for the review!

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!
