Well, I love this AU. I'm sorry you didn't finish it off, but since it was originally specfic I guess I get it. Lovely idea though, and while it's probably not fair to Karen, eh, who cares...
Date: July 28, 2009 04:01 pm Title: Poi Dog (and Jim) Pondering
So, more than two years later, still wondering if Jim agreed to spend the night in the City with Karen? I'd love for you to come back and finish your story - AU or not. I'd love to see Pam get the final word!

I am very very tired. And about your history lesson... either I am out of it or it is still called Alternative. Or maybe its just called alternative here. or maybe what i call alternative isn't what you are refering to indie. really, am i thinking to much about this?
I like chirpy dancing Pam!
Yeah, I didn't know any of those songs or anything... but today my mom was singing a song, saying it was from 'my generation' but i told her she was crazy, because i never heard of it.
can i just tell you to write faster? just like, faster, okay.

YAY! More!! Took you long enough. And you held true to your promise... well, at least part way, one update in 24 hours.
BLAH! I confused myself... I wanted to read the last paragraph of Chapter 10, to recatch up. But I was on chapter 11, without knowing it. And I was wonderign why none of it seemed familar. And then I clicked previous, thinking it was next, and then I was at chapter 10.
Okay, um, so yes. I am easily confused. But now, I get to reread the last paragraph of ten, and then read 11, and have it make sense.
And of course, my mom called for a 15 minute phone call in the middle. I have NO idea what she said. after about 5 minutes, i started tuning her out (bad daugter? possibly)
Karen sucks. Pam is awesome. I think that sums up this chapter rather well.

ohmigosh, can I say I'm loving this. Thank you so much for finishing this. And because I'm upset at Jim right now I'm going to go ahead and say that he's being infuriatingly slow at making up his mind when he gave Pam like what 2 seconds to make a MUCH bigger decision. I think his decleration of eternal love will have to come with a side order of some serious groveling (super-sized). MORE SOON PLEASE. Oh and I hate Karen. Sorry but I do.
Date: March 07, 2007 08:17 pm Title: Chapter 1: Pam does not destroy Art. Roy's heart is another matter.
Don't you think Michael deserves a bit more respect than this? I mean, what grown man could possibly... okay, fine, Michael loving unicorns wouldn't be much of a stretch...
Author's Response: See, I love Michael...and note that I wrote that chapter before Business School actually aired...and Michael gave the best advice of all..because Savant! Michael rocks.
Date: February 23, 2007 04:03 pm Title: Chapter 10: Tom Petty says the waiting is the hardest part, and Pam is inclined to believe him.
wow. i think the end of cocktails shocked all of us. it is just whoa. anyways, keep writing. i like to live in your alternative universe. specially since no new real episodes in a while
Author's Response:
I know...Cocktails was such a shoker that my Alternative Universe is getting pretty darned alternative....
I'll try to wrap this one up before it becomes so irrelevant that it loses its charm.

Aww, this made me feel very sad about Roy.
And this line made me feel very sad about how he treated Pam - "Sometimes, he wondered if he was the one who was lucky, but he was certain never to say it, never to let out that bit of information that would have exposed his weakness, he dependence on the girl who wasn't supposed to be good enough for him"
Author's Response: I'm trying to do this fic in a way that makes even Karen and Roy into sympathetic characters....it's hard, sometimes, but actually much more realistic. In real life, there are very few actual "heroes" or "villains."
Date: February 21, 2007 06:48 am Title: Chapter 9 -- An Evening with Roy
This chapter made me realize how awesome (but impossible) it would be if they did a flashback episode - before dunder mifflin. I mean, it would be impossible, considering its a documentary, but still, i think it would be cool!
Author's Response: I know....but, then, the documentary limitations are one of the factors that makes Office fanfic so fun...Backstory is always there for us!

You've created a great backstory for Karen - I love the way you tied in Annie Hall and her wearing pants suits. (You are so creative!) And, I too can't wait till Karen is off the show. Or at least off of Jim!
Author's Response: No joke. I keep wishing that Karen would go out, make some friends of her own, and meet some hot lawyer or stockbroker who would take her away from the madness of DM....and leave our Jim ripe for the picking....
Date: February 20, 2007 05:42 pm Title: Chapter 8: The Runner-Up
I'm with you, MO, I want her gone too. Now. Was that mean?
Like the Karen POV, though. This shows a lot of insight into her character. But I still want her out of Scranton.
Author's Response: I know. Surely, there is a better life for Karen....somewhere ELSE!
Date: February 20, 2007 05:25 pm Title: Chapter 8: The Runner-Up
I have a sneaking suspicion that since I'm a giant goof off who happens to be good at standardized tests karen would hate me. That's ok because I'm really really starting to hate Karen. I love what you've done here, I don't really believe that she's that manipulative but I do see how she is all about the big W-I-N and she'll be damned if she lets a catch like Jim halpert slip through her fingers.
P.S. I L-O-V-E this story. More More More!
Author's Response: I'm a goof-off who's good at standardized tests, too! But I'm also a skinny so-called "hot" chick who was dumped (back in my teens and twenties) for several pudgy "sweet" types. The bony snarky girl was apparently an acquired taste. That's what i was using for my Karen-identification.
Date: February 20, 2007 04:55 pm Title: Chapter 8: The Runner-Up
wow.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Date: February 20, 2007 04:51 pm Title: Chapter 8: The Runner-Up
Okay, I sympathisewith Karen. And yes, you need serious therapy. Don't worry, I think we all do.
Author's Response: If season 3 keeps going this way, I'll need more than just therapy........

Isn't Sheba the name of a cat food with a really sleek, haughty looking black cat on the label? heee
Loving the storyby the way...
Author's Response: Aw, MAN! I bet it was the cat food that gave me the name! Karen does have cat like eyes, though, doesn't she?

Aww, this chapter is just too short! Please write more!!
Author's Response: I am trying to wrap it up....I am aware that this has been the worst Stagnant Fic with No Resolution..........Thanks for the review!

ok, that last line broke my heart. I am really hoping that he realizes how stupid he is being and goes to Pam already. I can't wait to see how this party goes.
Author's Response: Jim is a man in search of a clue. Thanks for the review!

::sigh:: Go get Oliver, Jim! GO GET HIM! lol. LOVE IT!
Author's Response: Jim needs a wicked kick in the pants, eh?

Nice little analogy of Pam/Karen with Oliver and Sheba. And I loved how hecalled Karen Sheb. I laughed!

I really, really like this!! Just as it should be between them!
Author's Response: Oooh, look at this, I can respond to comments! Thanks, Moxie! I'm glad you like it! More to come...
Date: February 14, 2007 07:31 pm Title: Chapter 5: He Receives the Gift He Did Not Give.
This is such a moving line - "I will wait for you until you tell me not to".
And another line I really liked is from your author's notes - "I am eternally grateful for the bounty that has been given me in this charmed life." I know it isn't part of the story or meant to be reviewed, but it just struck me as such a heartwarming statement.
Author's Response: I really liked the waiting comment, too...it felt really *right* when it popped in my head, you know? And, how sweet that you liked the author's note line....Although I am shamed to admit that I was being snarky and sarcastic when I wrote it, even though it is true...I'm just not good at being sweet and earnest....
Date: February 14, 2007 06:21 pm Title: Chapter 5: He Receives the Gift He Did Not Give.
you have the unfortionate knowledge that my breadstick looks like it is growing stuff, as i just sstarted eating as i was writing the review.
anyways, *sigh* business school will air and because the producers are jerks, this won't happen. but at least this was good!
Author's Response:
I'm afraid to ask about the breadstick....Eep!
And thanks for following the story! It's very motivating to think of people reading the installments!
Date: February 14, 2007 05:24 pm Title: Chapter 5: He Receives the Gift He Did Not Give.
This story makes me giddy! I wish this was the script for tomorrow's episode!
Author's Response: If only this had been how it went down.....sigh.
