Wow - from the high of a new romance to the low of Jim's just-dumped ex-girlfriend being the new manager. Great twist to the first date stories.

Yeah I think an epilogue might be good to wrap things up, since I'm a little lost as to what exactly you were trying to convey in the last chapter beyond that they told each other everything and went to NYC anyway...right?
Author's Response: hmm. Sorry if this was a little confusing! They're on their way to tell Corporate about Karen and Toby. :)

This does seem a little Melrose Place-y now. Good call. However, I have faith everything will start going better for our beloved JAM. I too can't wait to see Jim's house.
BTW Melrose place is a really good show.

Ohhh my gosh! This chapter was frickin' rad! Karen and Toby!! And Karen. . .what a hussy! Awesome job! I'm looking forward to an update. I really liked the Mother-daughter relationship in here. It reminds me of me and my mom.
Mom: "What do you want to do?"
Me. *bursts into tears* "I DON'T KNOW!"
Fantastic!

HOLY S#@%! Wow, I didn't see that comming. I'm surprised Ryan didn't do anything! This is gonna get goooood! can't wait to read the next part!

I think Jim would stand up for himself a little more. I think he would have told karen off and gone through corporate to tell them about what has been happening, maybe going to Wallace. But who knows. Deffinately a little less dramaesque.
Author's Response: Oh, just wait. Believe me, that's coming. :)
Date: June 08, 2007 07:08 pm Title: modern romance
*cough* Toby is NOT UGLY
But I hope you write more :-D
Author's Response: haha. I don't think Toby is ugly either! But keep in mind that paragraph was through the ideas of Cassandra the New Intern - and she thinks Creed is hot! :P

I think this would be Jim and Pam's worst nightmare....pretty fun though...
Just a few notes when we met Pam's Mom on the show she had aburn hair and Toby doesn't have an office...he chose to sit at an open desk without a cubicle to get away from Kelly :-) The reason I point these out is because I'm enjoying your story and these inacuracies take me out of the story.
BTW someone knowing who Creed is AND having a crush on him, is so disturbing and hilarious at the same time... :-D
Author's Response:
hey, thanks! i knew pam's mom was on the show... i guess she could've dyed it, right?
and good point about Toby, too.
Date: June 08, 2007 06:12 pm Title: modern romance
i like it. update soon.
Date: June 08, 2007 05:58 pm Title: modern romance
My mouth is hanging open. Just...wow. To answer your questions, I don't think this is too emo-y or even too melrose place. I mean, there is a minor soapish element but I think that adds a kind of black humor to it. I usually have difficulties with stories that pin Karen as the villain, but I find myself enjoying your unflinching version. And I also find myself rooting for a kind of revenge, but not knowing what exactly. I'll leave it to you. I like your style and I really look forward to what is coming next.
Date: June 08, 2007 05:52 pm Title: modern romance
No, I think this is great.....I'd love to see David Wallace's Reaction when he finds out Pam got fired and Karen and Toby are sleeping together....OH it'll be better than when Sigorney Weaver was told to get her boney ass outta the CEO's sight in Working Girl! This fic has that feel to it. Yeah. :)

i hate karen what a b!tch
and damn ryan for not standing up for pam!
Date: June 04, 2007 11:55 am Title: love and some blues
Great fic. You must update soon!
Date: June 04, 2007 09:24 am Title: jump the hedges first
holy. freaking. crap. that is amazing. but scary. ok... i'm rushing to read the next chapter now.
Date: June 04, 2007 12:53 am Title: love and some blues
Great story! I can't believe Karen fired here...but then again I can. I love how you end each chapter with a cliffhanger. I will definetly come back for more.
Date: June 03, 2007 08:49 pm Title: love and some blues
WOW. Karen is the biggest bitch! Did she get the job because she actually did sleep with David Wallace? Probably. I hate Karen. It's funny because after reading all these fics, I'm going to think it's all true come time for the season 4 premiere.
Author's Response: i don't want to give anything away, but karen's true motivations are going to be revealed in the next chapter - at least, to the readers, and ONE of the characters. hopefully i'll have it written sometime this week. stay tuned, faithful readers...
Date: June 03, 2007 08:12 pm Title: love and some blues
Wow, I did NOT expect that one. Update update update cuz I wanna know Jim's response to that. Karen should TOTALLY be Fired for that....talk about letting personal relationships interfere with her work!
Author's Response: haha, I thought it was pretty ironic that Michael was demoted for letting his lovelife affect his job, and yet somehow Karen seems like a better choice to be manager. But don't worry; the next, as-yet-to-be named chapter is going to explore the reason WHY Karen suddenly has all this power ... and i don't think it's going to be what you expect. :)
Date: June 03, 2007 07:55 pm Title: jump the hedges first
Wow another great chapter but now I'm sorry I wished for this story. Karen is awful! I can't wait to see where you are going to take out young lovers next.
Author's Response: thanks so much! believe it or not, the double-cross karen pulled on pam in this story is something out of my own experience... i didn't get fired, but it was still rather unpleasant. now, to figure out what our little pam will do...
Date: May 29, 2007 07:23 pm Title: jump the hedges first
Whoa. Seriously...that was such an unexpected, but really god, cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Date: May 28, 2007 09:45 pm Title: jump the hedges first
Awesome! I can't wait to see where this goes.
Date: May 28, 2007 09:32 pm Title: jump the hedges first
Oh, man, what a cliffhanger! Can't wait to find out what happens.
Date: May 28, 2007 08:17 pm Title: jump the hedges first
I loved how you worked in Creed in this story - SO AWESOME.
Michael... gah! Michael!
Oh I so want more of this story! Karen is the new manager!!! WOW
