I loved your other story (the one that's from Jim and Pam's POV) so I checked this one out and I'm glad. There are two sides to every story and seeing this from Karen's POV was great. I especially loved the "Pam's Jim" and this line: "...finding his way back to the one person he’d loved all along".
Thanks for sharing.

I really liked this! I think it's a story that was told in the perfect amount of words with just the right tone. You hit the nail on the head about "Pam's Jim." There are definitely two versions of the same man out there these days; here's hoping the "Office" writers will take a cue from you and give back "Pam's Jim."
Nice work! -CH

CRAP. yes, you did just make my heart ache for Karen. Congratulations universe, you win. ^_^ But seriously, Jim will never be hers, it's just my opinion, but it's the truth.

This actually made me feel bad for Karen (doesn't happen oftern) but not too bad...because Jim & Pam ended up together...I love how they were just drawn back together. Wonderful.

i really do feel sorry for karen. she has been growing on me the past few months, and now i just think, she is going to get hurt and it sucks.

This says it all for me: "It had never been her. It could never be her. Not while Pam walked this Earth." So, I even feel a bit sorry for Karen, because to have Jim and lose him would hurt more than never having had him at all. And I firmly believe he is, was, and always will be Pam's Jim.

Oh my god. This is beautiful. I feel bad for Karen. Why?!

OH! Loved it. Now I'm really intrigued to see what Jim and Pam will be like on the show when Greg Daniels finally lets them be together :) It's gonna be weird to see them super-happy!

What a beautifully sad story. This line was really heartbreaking - "It was she who had been deliberately obtuse, and now that her eyes were finally open she couldn’t blame him for merely finding his way back to the one person he’d loved all along." Excellent job.
Author's Response: thanks for reading, I know we've all been through that moment when you realize that you've been deluding yourself. This story just sort of came to me.

Oh, this was amazing. What a great Karen POV. I adore the paragraph where she sees them together, for the first time, and realizes she's never really seen them (as they could be) at all before. And I like that you ended on a hopeful note for her future as well.
Author's Response: yeah I mean season 2 jim and pam are like totally missing from season 3 and I have a feeling that karen wouldn't even recognize them if she met them. thanks for the review!

Wow, really good job with Karen's voice here. Poor girl! It sucks that she has to be caught in the crossfire. Love that the last paragraph gives her hope for the future.
Author's Response: I almost blame Karen for being in the cross fire but then again it's so easy to live in denial.

I hope this realization comes before they are married....you got the characters really well!
Author's Response: thanks so much I really appreciate it!

"she realizes that she never knew the Jim that stands before her, he had disappeared before she had ever met him. "
My favorite line. Very well written.
Author's Response: thanks! it's really an honor considering how well written the stories posted here generally are

this is beautiful. i must admit to feeling a pang when i realized jim had gone and MARRIED karen but her POV on this really makes me appriciate her. and the "this was pam's jim, hers had just been an illusion" is really powerful stuff.

Wow, that was great. That's what would really happen if someone doesn't move soon.

Well done. Sigh... Karen is so much more fleshed out in fanfic than she is on the show.
Date: March 18, 2007 09:34 pm Title: Chapter 1
Wow. Not only did you make Karen sympathetic, you did it so well! This is beautifully written.
