Again, love the theme- the 'yes' idea goes so well with how Karen is so direct about her feelings for Jim, and Jim hedges everything with her but is definitive about his feelings for Pam. You've summed up the complexities of the s3 relationship really nicely.

I love the "who what why" theme. Great start.
Date: April 15, 2007 06:39 pm Title: Pam
This line is great and so so true I think: "So he said yes because she said yes, and well, yes, yes he does."Great insight.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! I thought for sure that this story would never see the light of day again since I wrote it so long ago!

This was a very insightful piece. I liked the small details like the manicure & and the thoughts like "What the hell? Who eats that?" I wish they would give Karen some moments like that in the show. Make her more human.

wow! this last one was amazing

I love that you point out the parallel of their "yes"s because it's so subtle and just wonderfully angsty. Also, for the fact that Pam's never actually said "no".
Thanks.
cheers.

Awesome...and what a relief.
Very nicely done.

Short and bittersweet. The "yes" had me squeeing six ways from Sunday, but...poor Karen. She really had no idea what she was getting into, and your first chapter was really good at pointing that out.

Loved these--how you wrote Karen & Jim's revelations. The story had such momentum, and it felt really spot-on for what we saw on the show. Loved the way you tied it all together with the yes/no/maybe concept.

But he’s been getting by for far too long on “it counts for something.”
Absolutely, YES. I wish I had something more coherent at this point, but as much as I love Jim, he most certainly has been coasting and it's time he got called on it.
Date: January 19, 2007 09:25 pm Title: Jim
Yes!
No really, I liked this a lot. There was great potential for the story to get lost among all the yes's but you did a very could job of making it clear!

Love, love, love this. And the last line made my heart smile just like it did last night on the show. Wow.
Date: January 19, 2007 05:42 pm Title: Karen
This was fantastic. And this line was awesome: "But the more she learns, the less she understands, starting with why and ending with yes."
Date: January 19, 2007 05:18 pm Title: Jim
This is a fantastic glimpse at Jim and I love it!

Man! I love how this accelerates!
And brava for noticing their twin "Yes"es. You seriously need to write more!

Fantastic, mcmuffins! The cottage cheese moment is a really nice revelation.

Wow, one little word packs quite a powerful punch. I really loved how you showed just how much of a difference there is between "yes" and "maybe." This was really excellent!

WOW. This is just brilliance.
Date: January 19, 2007 03:17 pm Title: Jim
This is great! You actually write thoughts like they're thoughts, which aren't always eloquent and well put together and rational. This rang really true. The way you portrayed Karen was spot on, too - so that I had sympathy for her, but not toooo much because she's just the wrong girl for Jim. Jim's characterisation was also excellent, of course. Yeah, the whole thing was fantastic. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait for more!
Date: January 19, 2007 02:00 pm Title: Jim
Wow -- I didn't notice the parallel -- Pam's 'yes, please' -- that is absolutely, freaking brilliant!
And the last paragraph is just so dense with meaning, distilled is almost the word I am looking for. Just awesome.
Author's Response: Wow - thanks! For the rec AND the review. You made my day! :)

sooo wonderfully written! i didn't realize pam said "yes" too! hehe.. love where you're going with this.. please continue!
Author's Response: I didn't realize it either until I started writing...

Oh McMuffins. I can't wait to see where this is going to go. Loving it so far. Good job!

This was very nice. I'm glad to get Karen's POV after the earth-shattering "Yes."
Author's Response: Thanks! And I don't know why Karen was in my head, since I've been one big squeee since he said it...

Poor Karen. Poor Jim. I love these little snippets so much.
Author's Response: Yay! Thanks :)
