Utterly hilarious!

Author's Response: Thank you! I vividly remember reading that news article and just immediately knowing Dwight would be fooled. The rest flowed from there. :)

This is a perfect balance of sweet and hilarious. Jim would've been proud of this proposal.

Author's Response:

I really like the proposal we got, but I do think they could have mined a little more humor out of it if they had wanted to. 

I remember reading that news item and immediately thinking of Jim the romantic prankster and Dwight the conspiracy theorist...I like the way this one turned out. Thanks for reading it and making me smile during my lunch break! :)

Oh my goodness, that might have been one of the most perfect things I've ever read here. Let me come up with a list of why...
1. Short and sweet
2. Yet to the point
3. A Proposal Fic - therefore I love it automatically
4. The perfect capturing of Dwight's insanity
5. Dwight speaking to the police - apparently the one group of people that he things are superior to him
6. Jim and Pam overhearing Dwight and hiding in some bushes

All in all, this is fantastic, and so yeah - absolutely perfect.

Author's Response:

Oh, wow, thank you! This is an old one, but I still have a soft spot for it, myself, because of the way I got the idea (based on a true story, you know). I really appreciate you finding this and taking the time to comment! So fun!

And look how far we've come- baby!

I love how you began this story at the end.  That structure really worked well.  And it's somehow fitting, isn't it, that for both of them, the perfect way to celebrate their engagement was to watch Dwight be unintentionally pranked.  I can picture it all so clearly!

Author's Response: Thank you! I liked the idea of the two of them hiding in the bushes; it felt like a good place to leave them while I told the story. And their love took root and blossomed over their Dwight pranks- of course this is fitting! Hee. Thank you, thank you as usual.

So sweet and funny and adorable.

Oh, and any engagement story that involves Dwight is tops in my books.

Thanks for the smile!



Author's Response: This comment made me smile! Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review.

This is by far the most entertaining proposal story yet! And the fact that it's based on fact? Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was just struck by how much that story sounded like an episode, so I had to make it one! I'm glad you were entertained; after all, why else do I do this? Thanks again!

In summary with what everyone else has said: this rocks.  It's sweet, funny and the perfect moment.  Love it :)

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you! As much as he would deny it, Jim's life would be a sadder place without Dwight. He deserves to be there for this, don't you think?

Oh what would a Jim/Pam proposal be without some sort of prank involved and to have Dwight be a part of it...that IS absolutely perfect. I never would have thought of this -- what a great, appropriate twist!

Author's Response: Thank you! Seriously, they basically fell in love over their shared love of messing with Dwight- it wouldn't be right to leave him out of their big moment!

What a sweet and tender story. Thanks for combining an engagement and a prank. Well done.

Author's Response:

It seems strange to write "you're welcome" in a response to such lovely praise- thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Gosh that was SO funny! Only Dwight would think that! I love the line "Don't be daft man!" so Dwight!

Author's Response: I love writing for Dwight, and I'm so happy you thought it seemed in-character for him. Thank you so much!

Forget Jim's life;
this STORY was perfect!

Author's Response: OOh, thank you so much!  "Perfect" is such a great compliment. Hee.

*melt*  You know, engagement stories never get old.  I really want to see a photo of these lanterns.

ETA: found a photo -- these are cool!

Author's Response: Ooh, thanks for posting that! I knew what they were but I didn't think of linking a pic. Fluffy stories just do seem to attach themselves to this pairing, don't they?  Heh. Thank you as usual!

This was, at once, totally sweet and hilarious! Love it! I'm a huge sucker for proposal stories of all sorts, and I'm guessing I'll dork out my summer by reading them until September 25. Then, hopefully we'll have the real story of what happened. Thanks, nqllisi!

Author's Response: No, thank YOU! Thanks for reading and for the nice comment. I'm a sucker for proposal stories, too- I've written at least three others that I can think of- and I am definitely looking forward to whatever the writers throw at us. Thanks again!

nice. love a good proposal, and this was a good one. loved the dwight ufo twist. truly perfect.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I was inspired by that news story- it just seemed so much like something from a sitcom, and this one is by far my favorite! Thanks again.

Lis - this story makes me want to propose to you.

You know if you were available and I wasn't straight.  ;)

LOVE IT.



Author's Response:

If those conditions applied, I'd definitely consider it. Think of what pretty fic-writing babies we would have!  Thank you so much!

Well, you certainly chose the perfect title for this fic.  I am deeply in love with it.      “Don’t be daft, man, the invasion has started!! We must alert the federal government immediately!!” Total and complete awesomness.

 



Author's Response: This fic likes you back, too. Thank you so much! It was fun to do some fic-writing after my baby-making hiatus. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

GAH! I hope you didn't read the first review. It hated me and it copied and pasted a review I left for another story.

 

Anyways, you unfortionatly get the short, now I am in a rush version of the review, and just imagine the rest.

I had read that story, but only skimmed, and, its like, never connected it to JAM.

And this is making me so happy it should be illegal. Because like my heart is smiling. Which I know is physically impossible, but its happening.

 

DWIGHT!

Now that was totally friggin perfect!

Okay, now this should be better since its for this story. 



Author's Response: Nope, I didn't see the other one. And really, the rushed version is lovely as it is, thank you so much. You're making my heart smile, too.
