I love Karen being a nice and happy person and I will protect every chapter that gives me so with an army of jellybeans.
Author's Response: Well then I will have to write more such chapters (though probably not in this fic)!

Karen and Pam are friends (ish) and I’m here for it! Short and sweet is what you could call their interaction, and it’s everything I could’ve asked for. It’s interesting to see Karen pre-season 3 because we get to see what her and Pam could’ve been like if it wasn’t for the awkwardness of the whole Jim situation.
I’m excited to see the next groundhog! Keep it up
Author's Response: I feel like this is the kind of thing they should have done with Karen. Well, not this specifically but it would have been so nice for Pam to have a real female friend she could talk to in the office. Thanks for the review!

Yeash! That's the fanfic Karen/Pam relationship I love, thanks so much! Great chapter! (Sorry I haven't reviewed in ages. I'll get back to it later).
Author's Response: Yeah, that friendship is addictive for me, so I'm glad you share my joy! Thanks for the review :)

The second I saw the title for this chapter I thought, “oh my goodness, it’s going to be Karen!” and I was not disappointed. She’s so much more likable when she isn’t dating Jim/crushing everyones hopes & dreams for an entire season... I really loved the way you’ve used her here. I also love that Pam’s beginning to dwell on Jim much more! That bodes very well for what’s to come. Your explanation of how Pam’s friendships have disintegrated over the years felt very true to character - you know I feel for her about that. I know I’ve said this many a time, but I’m very much looking forward to seeing where you go next!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you weren't disappointed! I love Karen as a person; I just hate how the show used her, so I try at every turn to get a glimpse of the person behind the narrative obstacle. I'm glad this worked for you!

Great way to give Pam some more perspective on everything. I think the non-Cruise days have done really well in that regard. Allowed Pam to have the time to process everything she's been seeing through these cycles. So now she's got two big pieces of information. Jim doesn't really want to be with Katy and even if she's not willing to fully admit it yet, she wants to be with Jim. The grip on her flint and steel seems to be adjusting a bit more here in the right direction. Looking forward to what the next time on the boat brings.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think she's going to find it's all downhill from here (in the sense of easier, not worse...I hope).
