Another great misdirect, though it's not entirely misdirection, given the obvious love between Jim and Pam. Nice job!
Author's Response: I really did go on a "twist ending" kick for a bit there. I liked this one, though. Poor Karen! Glad you enjoyed!

This one makes me laugh every single time.
Author's Response: Yay! I am glad to make you smile.

HA! Great twist. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you! This one made me feel devilish. :)

Ha! I didn't even see that one coming. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! My notifications aren't working right, so I didn't notice your comment right away- sorry! I do appreciate it, thanks for taking the time to read this old thing. :)

Haha! That was so good!
Author's Response: Hey, thanks! I loved the "real" way Jim found out on the show, but I am still pretty happy with this story. Thanks for reading!

Man, I loved this. It's hard to be surprised by Office fic these days, but you did it! You are evil like a hobbit. And Karen breaking up with herself! Ha!
Author's Response: That was a mean prank to play on Karen, I guess, but I don't care! Thank you! I'm glad I managed to surprise you.
Date: February 15, 2007 10:15 pm Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Ha! That was great. I did not see the twist coming at all!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you!

SNEAKY! sneaky girl, with your twisty little surprise ending! uh...if only it would actually happen that way. LOVE.
Author's Response: Thank you! Something has to happen SOON.
Date: February 15, 2007 03:52 pm Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Heee! You totally got me. It's lovely as a fake-out one shot, but I really hope you're planning a follow up!
Nicely done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! A follow-up? Possibly.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! A follow-up? Possibly.

This was priceless! The twist took me totally by surprise. I can only imagine what Jim was thinking as he read her email and watched her leave. I loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks! Poor guy must have been completely confused. Good thing he has Pam there to comfort him. Hee!

I love it! The twist at the end, so unexpected. I had to go back and read it through a second time, but it was hard by then, cuz I was laughing so much. Awsome!
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope it held up on the second reading. I was really trying to get their conversation to work either way.
Date: February 15, 2007 01:13 pm Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Duuuuuuuude!! I laughed out loud at the last part.
Karen packed a swimsuit and just dove into Conclusions, didn't she?
But in way, it's a good way to end things. If not....kinda confusing.
Thanks for this.
cheers.

Author's Response: Thank you! Glad to make you laugh- this storyline has been way too angsty lately!
Date: February 15, 2007 12:47 pm Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
lol that was amazing. that last line just tranformed the entire story. loved it.
Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun to sort of change it up!
Date: February 15, 2007 10:57 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
BWAH!!! Excellent reveal. Wow. Too many dawesome things to count. The various types of smiles, breaking up via IM, it's all genius.
Author's Response: Thanks! It popped into my head while I was putting on lipstick this morning. I truly don't know where this stuff comes from sometimes. :)
Date: February 15, 2007 10:44 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
hahah! very very sneaky! love it
Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun to set up. Pam's "explanation" was particularly tricky, so that it would be absolutely true for both interpretations.
Date: February 15, 2007 10:38 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
haha! wow, it was a twist at the end, cause i really expected it to be pam i love you. not oh yeah, for like over a year i have known dwight and angela are doing the nasty
Author's Response: I love being sneaky! Of course Pam loves him, but this is also a secret she's been keeping.
Date: February 15, 2007 10:29 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Oh man! You totally got me! I thought "They're together!" and then wha? Seriously, if this is how Jim finds out about Dwangela, I will be really happy. Nice job!
Author's Response:
Thank you! My fic predictions rarely come true, but this one would be fun. And really- anything to get rid of Karen, even if it is a misunderstanding.
Date: February 15, 2007 09:56 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Hah! Hahahahahaha. Thanks for that. Here I was, enjoying the story, but thinking we were getting more "Karen finds out"... but then: wham! At the end! Nice :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I've done my fair share of "Karen finds out" stories, so I thought it was time to tweak the genre a bit. Oh, who am I kidding? I just like being sneaky! :)
Date: February 15, 2007 09:53 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
This would be the best valentine's gift ever! (is it mean to want Karen to get dumped for V-Day? Hee!)
Author's Response: Eh- she's fictional. We can be as mean as we want! Hee. Thank you!
Date: February 15, 2007 09:35 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
is it mean that this made me laugh instead of feel bad for karen? AWESOME twist! loved every word!
Author's Response: We can be mean together- I enjoyed writing this a little too much! Thank you!!
Date: February 15, 2007 09:11 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
That was awesome. I never would have guessed. This was a great "reveal" story. Hehe... plus I love Angry!Karen stories these days.
Author's Response: Yeah, I hope Karen leaves with a bang and not a whimper. Thank you!!
Date: February 15, 2007 08:43 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Wow. I feel so duped. Fantastic twist :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Sorry for the duping, but I love being sneaky! :)
Date: February 15, 2007 07:41 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
Okay, this was brilliant--you totally got me. I can usually smell a twist, even if I don't know what it is, but I was clueless for this one. Wonderful! And I've been waiting for Pam to tell Jim about Dwangela for forever, so it's nice to read about it in a fic. Great job!
Author's Response: Hee, I'm glad I got you. I have an older "5 things" fic which are all about Jim finding out- it's called "Surprise". Thank you so much!
Date: February 15, 2007 07:32 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
If only it was this easy to get rid of her!
Author's Response: No doubt! :)
Date: February 15, 2007 06:18 am Title: Why you shouldn't eavesdrop
oh, you are so evil at twists like that!!! (and by evil I mean very, very good!!) :-)
Whatever it takes to get Karen out of the picture.... ;-)
Author's Response: I do love the occasional twist ending. Hee. Bye, Karen! (Thank you!!)
