Oh man. Harsh. But really, Jim, you're trying too hard. Pam is a simple girl and needs a simple engagement. I love that you're stringing him along like this! I hope he learns his lesson! And nice job developing the Halpert/Wallace relationship, too.
Author's Response: Thanks! I think Wallace is my new favourite character - I hope we see more of him in s4.

UGH!!!!!!!!! Damn it Pam,would you please let the boy shave if he wants! lol. Oh man I'm getting frustrated FOR him!!!! Ok....but here it comes right? Yay...
Author's Response:
haha - I know! The one time Pam decides to do something a little unlike herself, and the consequences are disasterous!
Lucky he loves her so much, hmm? :-)

Awww...I feel bad for Jim and Pam in this one! Poor Jim for havinghis attempt thwarted yet again and poor Pam for accidently messing it up! However...I am very very much looking forward to the last chapter.
And good golly! That Medusa's Head is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen!
Author's Response:
yeah, so much for modern art, huh??
Thanks for the review - I'm glad you are having as much fun reading as I had writing it. :-)

Oh, I miss MoMA... i miss nyc... i miss the east coast!!! anyways, way to make me cry. that was so upsetting! poor poor jim! i almost want to smack him over the head and tell him, "just propose already! it doesn't have to be *perfect*!" i know i could care less, i could be proposed to in the middle of the ball pit at chuck e. cheese's, and so long as i knew it was the right guy (like, JK, perhaps..) , that's perfect enough!
but it's ok, i'll calm down. because iknow up next is Attempt #5!!!! wooohoooo!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: haha - be patient, all will become clear very soon! Thanks for the great review, StarShine!!

Great as always! I loved the image of them wandering around the museum, and Jim being too distracted by Pam and by his plans to really get into it. The only sad part about this chapter, was getting to the end and realizing we weren't going to get to see them all dressed up and eating a fancy dinner. I don't know why, but I was really looking forward to that.
Author's Response: awww - well I'm sure you could do their evening justice if you chose to write it Azlin! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

oh poor Jim! but i don't blame Pam... scruffy Jim is a sexy thing :) i wanna know why he didn't just tell her! i know it's not quite as romantic, but can't things just be not so perfect sometimes? I bet Pam dies laughing when she hears all the trouble he's gone through so far. we'll get to see that next chapter when he proposes right? :)
Author's Response:
"...but can't things just be not so perfect sometimes? "
ah, perhaps you have stumbled upon the moral of the story, young grasshopper. :-) And yes, Chapter 5 is a happy place! Thanks so much for reading along!!

Poor Jim - foiled again. I like how you're using different roadblocks and not just interuptions. Don't blame for wanting scruffy Jim though. Hope we get the final installment soon and thanks again for another fantastic chapter in the Jim/Pam fantasy world.
Author's Response: Oh, scruffy!Jim is my favourite Jim of all - does it show too much?? :-) Yes, I'm glad we are finally done with all the hardships. I was feeling guilty making our favourite paper salesman suffer so. I promise chapter 5 will go well. Thanks for reading, jinx!!

Jim was certain his heart stopped beating in that moment. He felt it stop, and then he felt it fall through his chest and onto the floor.
I actually felt that. Very well done, conveying Jim's world coming to a complete hault. It's a good thing he is so damned determined to marry her, or this could make him say "screw it"!
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Miss Beesly is definitely pushing her luck - especially after this last snafu was really all her fault! Don't think he won't tell her about, either! :-)

Omg, how cute is DW/CFO as matchmaker!!! And of course, only Pam herself could derail the proposal...
P.S. How excited am I for Ch 5?
Author's Response:
I really think DW is my new favourite periphery Office character. We need to see more of him in S4. And did you notice how I made sure to emphasis that Jim didn't WANT to still be toting that ring round??
All will be fluffy and sunshine next chapter.....thanks for the review!!
Date: June 25, 2007 06:03 am Title: New Year's Eve
See, I would be mad at her too for messing with my stuff. I think I have "control freak" tendencies, though. Hee.
Oh, and Jim is thisclose to just chucking the ring at her head at this point. If he really wanted to make her feel bad, he should propose without the ring and explain EXACTLY why he didn't have it. Heh.
Author's Response: Hee hee - I think Jim is besotted enough with her that he wouldn't have minded so much had the ring not been in the bag! And don't worry - Pam will find out what she did come chapter 5.... :-)

Hehe, I liked that little "did you do anything illegal bit"
I think that David Wallace would help. He does seem impressed by Jim, and a friendly guy.
They are starting the new year together - FINALLY.
Aww, Poor Pam ruined this one... I knew it had to happen (the title of the story is a dead give away that four of these chapters are just going to aww moments), but still.
And that Medusa's head is really ugly and weird. It reminds me of a rat ball...Oh sorry it is a mice ball:

yikes!
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Emily - the final good stuff is coming soon!

Oh my god! Pam!!!! No!!!
So, I'm obviously totally looking forward to the next chapter, because my heart keeps breaking for poor Jim!!
Author's Response: I think all shall be made up to Jim in the final chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Oh, man! Of all the unbelievable things.
LOL
The torture's over, right? You're going to give us the last chapter, and he's finally going to do this thing. Right? You better!
Other than also holding my head in my hands near tears, I am really enjoying this. hee :)
Author's Response: Yes, no more missed opportunities. Things finally work out in Chapter 5. Thanks for reading!!

I absolutely love the way you wrote Wallace in this story. The little note was a perfect touch. I really liked the Jim/Wallace interactions and hope to see a little bit of that in season 4. Definitely looking forward to seeing how Jim gets the job done.
Author's Response: Thanks, Larry! (and for the rec on TWOP!!) I can't help but think Wallace sees a bit of Jim in himself, and that I really hope we see more of Wallace the good guy next season. I have to believe that guy is more than just a corporate suit..... Thanks for reading and reviewing!

OK that one seriously made me cry. (nevermind that I have been drinking and I'm PamMSing.)
I feel so bad for Pam she doesn't even know what she did. And Jim, poor poor Jim.
Ok I had this dream last night that you posted the last chapter of this and before Jim could propose Pam goes, "I'm Pregnant!" and he yelled "Dammit Pam! Will you marry me??" all angry and stuff...I really hope I wasn't fortelling the future.
can't wait for the next one!! :)
Author's Response: Nope, nothing but sunshine and fluff coming in Chapter 5 - thanks for reviewing!!
