this is hilarious. that is all i can say: hilarious
"during the next hour he would wish for the comforts of the hot ashes, often and sadly"
for whatever reason, that line made me full on, actually lol. all over the place.
Author's Response: Wow, that was supposed to be a serious sentence.

Karen and Payback. Quite possibly my two favorite themes. This has all the makings of MTT's next great masterpiece. It's nice to see Karen has finally found the way to get through to Jim. Having Jim initially think it was still about winning him back is a nice touch too.
Author's Response: Welcome back my friend, but masterpiece? Ummm... sure.

Hahaha, oh, wow, you almost made me feel sorry for Karen with her colorblindness, but she definitely has reached new levels of crazy in this chapter. Man, oh man.
Author's Response: She's a sympathetic character... just completely wacko. In a fun way. For us.

I was going to say the world needs more Alex Werts' but I'm not exactly sure that's true because you're probably secretly crazy and have a few bodies in your basement. But that's okay because it means that you can create genius work such as this. So, yes. The world needs more Alex Werts'.
Author's Response: I think I officially crossed over into crazy territory three weeks ago when I finished my testing. Now that my thesis only needs to be written, I have gone off the deep end. I do not, however, have any bodies in my basement. This is because I do not have a basement.

Have fun in Toronto, you evil, evil man. Just kidding, though as someone who gives anesthesia for a living, I'll have to have a chat with you about the isoflurane rag sometime. Suffice to say, Karen would have hit the ground way sooner than Jim. But screw it, that's why it's fiction, so it's all good. ;)
Author's Response:
Please enlighten me about anesthetics. I just picked this one because it was widely available - and I was having a devil of a time finding details about how to recreate the common tv myth chloroform effect realistically - without having her just repeatedly club him over the head, possibly resulting in death. If there is a chemical that is more appropriate, I'm eager to hear about it so I can make the change.
You should have seen the screed I gave someone here about viscous flow in glass.

Hahaha lovely twist! Still in love with this story.
Author's Response: Thanks. I live to twist.
Date: July 22, 2007 08:26 pm Title: In Which Pam Plays Dr. Watson
Great last line. My other favorite lines were "But Michael..." and "He...tucked the joint away in his pants."
The pants one made me think of when he found Pam crying in the hallway, and he took off his jacket and tied it around his waist. He does such odd things sometimes, and you certainly captured that.
And for all Dwight's amazing investigative powers, it was Pam who found the watch and saw the stain. She's Nancy Drew, and Dwight is perhaps...Inspector Clouseau.
I wonder what Karen and Jim are doing right now. I suspect you'll tell me in the next chapter.
Author's Response:
He's such a delightfully weird person and so much fun to write. The world needs more Dwight.
And I suspect you're right.

oh, dwight... whaqt would we do without you??? lol.
Author's Response: We sure wouldn't be able to tell the difference between semen and imitation semen.

love it ... hilariously original!
Author's Response: Thanks. I try to write things that nobody else would.
Date: July 20, 2007 10:55 am Title: The Dwight Stuff
Ooh, Alex Wert. You had me at semen test kit.
This is really funny. Dwight is at his best when investigating, isn't he? He's a one-man CSI: Scranton.
I'm having fun reading your story.
Author's Response:
It's a real product. It sounds like something he'd buy.

"Was it evil if she enjoyed the look of abject terror that spread across his face at that moment?"
Yes. yes it was.
Karen is evil!!!!
Author's Response: As if I had to write anything to convince you gals of that. What about her heartbreaking backstory? Doesn't that count for anything? I'm guessing no.

"I mean, it's not as if Karen kidnapped Jim."
Oh, innocent Pam... if you only knew!
love it so far... can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks. That scene was so much fun to write.

Ok, I did like the chapter title here. Karen IS more than kind of a bitch. Its only fair/realistic she feel pain after dead lifting a passed out Jim. In preparation for S4, my overanalyzation powers are gearing up. So is this pre-The Job or post-The Job? Clearly Karen's part sounds post-Job but she cut his hair again? I guess that is kind of his Achilles heel, per se. So post-Job? Can't wait for DAM to catch on. Next chapter perhaps?
Author's Response: This is post-The Job by about 3 weeks, give or take. Just enough time for Jim's hair to have started getting shaggy again (depending on how fast his hair grows). Yes, in the next chapter Pam and Dwight are hot on the trail, so stay tuned (okay, that doesn't even make sense with TV anymore).

As far as I'm concerned, chapter titles are irrelevant given the story title. Love love love your take on men designing women's shoes. It is more than a little preposterous. The side use as a murder weapon is only fair given the incredible pain involved in wearing the damn things solely for your entertainment. On to the next chapter.
Author's Response: I just don't get the whole women's shoes thing. Why can't they make them look like feet anymore? They're all either pointy or blocky and if you can't stab someone to death you can bludgeon them. And they're probably counterproductive for us guys because the shin splints you gals get from weaing them make you irritable and we can't handle that at all.

Evil, evil, Karen!
I love that she gave him a haircut. I can still understand the crying though, because clearly he could see she was a bit nuts, as the cigarette now proves.
Interesting!!!
Author's Response: Jim is a sensitive man. He's really not going to like the other things that happen to him. Mua ha ha ha.
Date: July 12, 2007 12:12 pm Title: Jim's in a Bind
My favorite parts? "oooh, comfy", "He didn't know if he was about to be fucked or murdered. Probably one, then the other. He wasn't sure which order he preferred." and Ed Truck.
I'm a little worried about the knives. Hmm...
I wouldn't changed the title. Karen the Kidnapper is fine. At the moment, although there are certainly amusing bits, you're playing it seriously, so it's not like you can call it Krazy Kidnapping Karen or something jokey like that... Plus, it's easy to remember what the story is!
Author's Response:
It's a fine line to walk, that deadly serious with just a smattering of 'wtf? is he on drugs?' humour. Would you believe that those favourite parts of yours were initially throwaway gags that I tried to sneak in there just to keep this chapter from getting too heavy? I'm glad it worked out for the best.
If I were you I wouldn't be worried about the knives. You'll see.

I'm catching up. I was going to go on to the next chapter and review at the end, but your last few lines were too awesome.
How'd you get to be so awesome?
Author's Response: Everyone loves an uncomfortable Dwight conversation. Especially if he's actually right.
Author's Response: Well, not about the infertility. Probably.
Author's Response: Well, not about the infertility. Probably.

Heh, the first chapter was funny, but I have a feeling Pam and Dwight on the case is going to be even funnier. Great stuff!
Author's Response: Dwight is this century's Sherlock Holmes. Possibly Poirot.

This story is so much fun!! Especially now that Dwight is enlisted as the detective.
Author's Response: He has a detective kit in his car. It's one of three alternate profession packages he carries with him.

Can I just say that I really enjoy your story and this one is no different. The story is just so ridiculous!! You truly make me smile, thanks alot.
Author's Response: My goal is to be the most ridiculous writer here. My resumé speaks for itself.
Date: July 05, 2007 10:05 am Title: The Return of Krazy!Karen
Intriguing premise! I can't wait to see Ms. Karen's revenge.
It was like she'd had no lasting impression on him at all. Very nice line. I actually think there will be some lasting changes in our Jimbo next season, but this was just perfect from Karen's POV.
Author's Response: I really hope they don't gloss over anything next season. That would be infuriating for all of us. I hope next season Jim stops being such an ass. If not, I want Dwight to win.
Date: July 05, 2007 08:22 am Title: The Return of Krazy!Karen
So much fun, Alex Wert. What ARE you going to have Karen do with Jim?
Author's Response: I haven't decided on any specifics yet. Do you have any ideas?

Wow. I totally forgot all about that. I couldn't figure out why the summary on the most recent page sounded oddly familiar. I love anti fluff and I really love Karen empathizing with Evil Stewie. now that would be a crossover.. Thank you for rising to the challenge. Also, at some point I'd like a swat team to make an appearance, or at least the cast of Without a Trace.
Author's Response:
Oh great. Now I'm going to have to write a Family Guy/Office crossover. Michael fighting the chicken? Herbert lusting after Ryan? People setting themselves on fire so they don't have to look at Meredith? That'll be horrible. If it happens, it will be your fault.
I've never watched Without a Trace, so you're out of luck there.
Date: July 04, 2007 07:33 pm Title: The Return of Krazy!Karen
I love Krazy!Karen stories, and yours is by far one of the best I've read! Keep going!
Author's Response: This will be my third Krazy!Karen story. It's weird though. I love Karen to death, but I keep on sending her to the loony bin. Maybe that says more about me than it does her.

Ok 1) Awesome use of the work kerfluffle and 2) Karen must be doing some serious gym time to be able to dead lift Jim off a parking lot. Man I can't wait for chapter 2.
Author's Response:
1) I love kerfuffle. I try to use it as often as possible.
2) A fireman's carry is all about technique. If you get it right, you can lift easily half again your own weight. That being said, the weight difference between Jim and Karen may be more than that, stretching the credibility of this a bit. But where the hell would this story go if she couldn't get him out of the parking lot? That would be dumb (maybe I should write an alternate version - could be funny).
