In case Chrissie Hynde is reading this and going "WTF! That's mine!" Not story related, but this is the best reason for a disclaimer I have ever seen. HIGH-larious.
Also, I love your story! haha...I read the first chapter a while ago and then grad school got in the way. So glad you decided to continue :)

*throws garbage*!!! But I still love this story. Just so long as Karen dies away. Continue, please!

I have come to the conclusion that anyone who ends off any chapter with Karen winning has a death wish. Seriously, there are some extremist fanatical jammers out here. I hope none of them know where you live. But I suppose if anyone came after you, you could escape them with your gravity defying powers.

Hee, the pen name comes from the best musical in the world, 'Wicked'. That's right, I'm that kind of geek. I am actually an extremist fanatical Jim/Pam fan myself, I promise. I'm just trying to keep things as realistic as possible, and I believe, as horrible as it is to type, that Jim and Karen are having sex. Please, put down the torch and pitchfork!,

I really like the way you're treating the aftermath of this whole Roy thing and the way you're retaining the relationship dynamics and characterizations that we've seen. Love that you had Jim & Pam leave nothing resolved at the end of their insanely passive-agressive conversation and that you followed with true, in-character Jim/Karen. Both dynamics held just the right amount of feeling, passion, and holding back.
I'm excited to see how you resolve it all :)

Author's Response: I'm sorry! I swear, it will be worth it though

No garbage here. If anyone throws garbage, you are the Gravity Defier - make it float into space instead of hitting you. Do I have to explain everything?
I think this is great. I don't love Karen in general, but you did a great job here humanizing her and telling this story. I hope you keep going!!
I love Jim's joke about the mailman.
Author's Response:
I don't love Karen at all. I wish she would get kissed by a truck. But, I figure that if I can really challenge myself by finding the human side of her.
Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm not one to throw garbage, so don't worry about that. I love the first chapter, with Angry New Beesly getting to say what's been building up on her mind for so long. It's about time the two of them practiced a little honesty with each other!
And I love the second chapter as well, but for different reasons. While I don't necessarily like Karen, I do find her an interested character to explore, and I appreciated that you gave her a little more depth than some of us usually do.
In short, I am enjoying this and i look forward to seeing where you take it from here.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!!

she didn’t mind showering with the tall paper salesman at all.
Question: Who would have a problem with this??? :) haha I am liking the imagery and everything in your story. Even though I don't like Karen, I'm willing to overlook that for now. Please continue! Also I think you need to change 'know' to 'known' in this sentence:
She had only know Jim for nine months, but as far as she could tell, he had a split personality.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That's what I get for going without a beta I guess. It's fixed now.
