Too good

Author's Response: Thanks!

Wow! I have to say the implication at the end there kind of shocked me. But I do love a twist! I liked seeing a bit of how Karen and Dan met, and you wrote the adult themed stuff really well. I also liked the little insight into Toby’s mind, poor guy! Overall well done!

Author's Response: Thank you! And the name of the fic was "Revenge." I took it a little darker, I suppose, which is actually unlike me. But hey, this could offer a sequel opportunity. Hmmm...

Oh I like that epilogue. The ending to the story too; but that was more predictable. In a good way of course. Very nicely done.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter.

One more twist there are the end. Okay. Still nice for Karen to find closure too.

Good for Jim and Pam to figure out how to start things out in their relationship the right way. Being honest with what they did and the feelings behind everything. The return to their usual banter was nice to see too.

Lots of ups and downs through this whole story. It was rough at times but they go through it. Well done on finishing up.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your support throughout this fic. I really appreciate your always taking the time.

I was not expecting this story to bring me a newfound love for Andy, but here we are... Good on him for doing the right thing. Poor Karen is coming from a place of a whole lot of hurt here, it’s not too fun for anyone involved. Nice to see it continue to push Pam and Jim even closer together though. That’s a silver lining if ever I’ve seen one...

Author's Response: Andy is not my favorite character for sure, but he does have a romantic streak in him, and I tried to make him a little more bearable in this fic than he is on the show. Thanks so much for reading. The conclusion is up now.

It's a great chapter, though it made me sad.
To be honest, I always think that the whole Jim/Karen relationship was a big mistake and a mess; and Jim... yeah, he was the one to blame. And he kind of deserved punishment. But the way this relationship ended here... it's painful because Karen is hurt so badly, and both Jim and Pam's consciences weren't clean, and... it's just hard that the characters you like so much turned to be assholess.
But I hope for better, and I do like your story. I'll be waiting for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Glad you liked this story, even though it was a bit angsty. I'm not one for much angst, so it won't last for long. Thanks so much for the review. I just posted chapter 7!

This one was kinda rough to read. Not that you wrote it poorly, but because of the content. Those landmines I talked about a few chapters ago finally went off, as they were destined to of course. Once the truth comes out and everyone is still finally honest it's unavoidable.

Everyone involved with all of this crossed over some lines. So their very real feelings of anger, hurt, and regret are on fine display here. Makes sense that Jim would try to forget it like that. Just be very careful if you go down that line. Numbing the pain doesn't fix what caused the pain. Facing the pain head on does.

Seems like Jim's willing to do that. He's finally been honest with Pam and with Karen. Pam too has realized her prank with Andy set off a string of hurt as well. Glad she's there to keep a level head.

Like I said very well written to bring out all those feelings. Thanks for the update.

Author's Response: So glad this was an emotional read. If I can get you to feel something, mission accomplished. Thanks for the great review. Chapter 7 is up now!

Ok, Jim's dream made me laugh a little here! Much needed with the upcoming tension!
Pam's pretty forgiving here, Karen is pretty sly, Jim's a deer in the headlights and Andy ends up saving the day (I think). Lots of twists and turns. Thanks for that little bit of stairwell fluff to keep me going! ;)

Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, this is definitely a roller coaster, but I'm glad it's keeping you interested. Chapter 6 is up now. Hope to see you back here :)

Thank goodness you had Pam comforting Jim when he tells her. I don’t think I could have taken it if she was angry or told him to beat it. The world is too crazy right now for me to handle it. Lol!

Author's Response: Sorry I haven't responded. I somehow missed this review. Thanks so much for taking the time. Glad you like Pam's reaction here. I hope you get the chance to read the rest of this fic.

I'm very interested in how you handle this reveal of another reveal. It's been good so far, so I'm just excited for it. Also, "“No,” he said. “I’m definitely not okay.”"--great to see some actual honesty between those two (and the rest of the chapter too).

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I hope you continue to enjoy it. One of the things I like to do in fics is make the characters do what I wished they'd done all along instead of putting us (and themselves) through hell, lol. So, I try to make them honest and not drag them through the angst for long. Chapter 6 is up now. Hope you get a chance to read it.

Oh boy... I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I know everyone is trying to one up each other in the prank department, but faking a pregnancy is a bit too far for my liking. It’s also a little crueler than I’d imagine Karen to be. I’m a little terrified about the, “I am late” part too...

Author's Response: A woman scorned, and all that. Keep in mind, she wasn't lying, exactly, but the effect of course was the same. Don't be scared, however, I always write happy endings. Thanks for the review.

Wow. Mean-Karen is a staple on this site so you're well within that tradition. But wow. Although Jim...didn't think anything was weird about Andy still being there? He's obviously out of it, but I hope he catches on, because Pam deserves better even if he doesn't necessarily.

Author's Response: Glad you didn't mind mean Karen. I was afraid I'd gone too far. Don't worry though; I won't drag out the pain.  Thanks for reviewing.
