This is very funny.

I don't think your Karen voice is dead at all. It sounds very real to me, like a strong person who has just been used in a very hurtful, violating way. Innocence? Gone. Wounded? Definitely. Broken? No way.
This kicks ass.

It's not boring, it's just a little sad- and I think that's probably about right for her right now, whether she admits it or not. I think you did a very nice job with this.

Kelly, whatever. Your Karen voice is not dead. And this was not boring. Sad, yes. But also I could really hear her giving these answers, you know? And just- Sigh. Oh, Karen.
And hee. Nunzia. And 'Boobs.' Ahahahaha.
And now I just want to curl up and cry for Karen.
Author's Response: You are WAY too nice to me. (I think part of the problem was I wanted to answer everything as Edie.... SHE'S TAKING OVER MY LIFE!!!)

Oh, poor Karen. I love the boobs answer!

Oh wow, this was excellent! So spot-on and a great insight into Karen. I love your little jibe at the audience with the bus comment, that made me crack up laughing. Her answer to the favorite names question was hilarious, as was her answer to the natural gift question. This was so full of awesome, I loved it!

I don't think your Karen voice is dead at all! And it wasn't boring. It was refreshing to see something deviate from the norm around here. Plus I always like fics where Karen isn't a psycho bitch. I really, really enjoyed it. :)

No, it isn't boring! It's spot on. I love the underlying hurt that she feels but doesn't say out loud. :)

Not dead! Karen might be lying in a ditch by the side of the road as the bus screams away, but this is hilariously mean.
What natural gift would you most like to possess?
Boobs. (pause) I’m joking. Kind of.
