Okay so first off let's go with the technical side of things. Is there any way you could re-post this with a bigger font size? It's kind of small on a normal laptop screen and thus kind of hard to read. If you're worried about spelling errors I would suggest slowing down when you post. I know it's exciting to get something up. When I finish a chapter of a story I'm writing, I usually take 12-24 hours off. Don't look at it or post it. Then go back and re-read it to try and catch spelling and grammar issues. Then I'll post. I might not get them all, but I'll get a lot more than if I post right after I get done writing.

There were really only two inconsistencies I saw here. First is that Jim knew Pam hadn't gotten married well before the merger. Second, Jim and Karen didn't officially start dating till right around the time of the merger. Here it's as if Jim and Karen have been a couple for a while. However this is also AU so we could chalk that second one up to that.

Other than that, I do like how Pam is reaching out here. Good on her for doing that. Onto the next chapter.

Author's Response: Oh my gosh. I am so sorry about the font! I haven't posted to this site before, just found it actually, and I absolutely love it. I type on a Mac and the font looked okay on there and I thought that it would kind of change the font to how everyone's is on here. Total rookie mistake, my bad. I haven't written in like gosh I don't know like six-seven years. I'm just glad you liked something about it. I know I should have read through it and I will do that for my third chapter, I just had this idea and I wanted to get it out right away. And I totally hear what you're saying about the plot and I was reallyyy worried I was going to mess something up like that...
