Wow. I feel like Jim just kissed me.
Okay, not really, but I just wanted to talk a little bit about this chapter. First of all, I love how awful you made Karen, how she acknowledges Pam's art, says it's great and then Jim's able to brag about that being his girlfriend. That made me so happy! Second of all, I like how Jim didn't just slip away and melt off the face of the earth like a turtle when he got nervous and was able to be assertive and stand up to big, mean, stupid Karen. (I am not fond of her in any form...) That said, FANTASTIC chapter, and this may as well be my favorite. I think I'll add this to my favorites now... :) Great story, I love it!
Seriously, why do all of my favorites happen to be AU, set in NYC and feature Jim with some lady baggage in his past, Pam in art school after Roy and then the two of them slowly getting together? There was another one like this that I loved, too. I think this might be better, though. Definitely!

I love this story! I am afraid to see what comes next though but I'm sure you will do a great job with it. I loved that even Karen thought Pam's art was good. Oh and i would love another update tonight!

Your Karen is dreadful, dreadful, horrible. Thank goodness the real one wasn't that bad! I really don't understand why she'd get much of anything, with no kids from the marriage. And her company is thinking of absorbing his? Evil, evil for her to bring that up!
I love this: “Well, she’s nothing at all like you,” he said. “So I’m rather fond of that.”
Author's Response: Haha! I loved that line too! :)

Seriously, I hang on your every word.
This story is fantastic. Karen scares me!
Keep up the amazing work!

OoOoOoOoOoOo no!!! She is sooo evil. I have a feeling she like one of those girls that can never be happy so the people around her and cared for her should be just as miserable as she is! I have a feeling Jim just gave out too much info!!Plus how can she be married without being legally divorced from Jim? But wow. I'm gone for a couple of hours and all of this happens!! From what I read it doesn't seem like Karen is thrilled that Jim is seeing someone else, as if she expected him to pine after her forever. Urrrggggg!!! I hate hypocritical people!! She created on HIM! She got pregnant with ANOTHER mans baby? Yet she tries to sit there all wounded?!?! I don't think so! Please let Jim finally grow a set and stop letting Karen control the situation! I loved how Jim was soo proud of Pam and doesn't think of her as a waitress. But a very well written chapter! Please post again tonight...hopefully before 10:00?!?!? WOW you are almost done?!?!? What will I do? say it aint so! This is just too great of a fic to end!!
Author's Response:
Haha! You leave such enthusiastic responses!!
You might not believe me, but the way that Karen is in this story is actually based on someone that I actually knew. She and Jim are legally divorced, but she keeps thinking that she can find loopholes to get more and more from him. I know people who have gone through some really nasty divorces like this, unfortunately. People can be cruel.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to post by 10 (Eastern time), I still have a few edits that I need to make to the next chapter before posting, but it will be up sometime tonight. :)

Uh oh - I hope Karen didn't trick him into signing papers giving away his rights to something! Interesting that her company may be buying his.

Jim! What did you sign! I have a bad feeling about this....

You are the fastest poster I have ever seen. That's awesome. Great chapter, with evil Karen playing the lead role in this one. At least she likes Pam's art.
