Oooooh!!! I love a College AU! I wasn’t expecting Karen as the roommate. Their personalities are already clashing.
And the cute meet with Jim was fantastic! I really hope Laren doesn’t come between them.
Can’t wait to read more!
Author's Response: I thought Karen and Pam as roommates would make a very interesting dynamic and I’m excited all of the different paths this can take! I love a good College AU too, so I’m so excited to write this one! I can’t wait to hear more of your reviews as we continue along!

Ooooh. This feels like it's going to be fun.
Talk about writing what you know: what strikes me more than anything else in this chapter is how true Pam's anxiety about starting college and being away from home and having to adjust to all these new people feels. Feels distinctly natural to our insecure, not necessarily a social butterfly heroine, but also very universal.
Pam and Karen as roommates (and especially as roommates living across the hall from Jim) feels like it has a lot of potential. I do enjoy the two of them as the friends they could have been. You've done a great job portraying Karen's confidence and sense of self and how naturally and unintentionally intimidating that would be to our girl.
I really like this version of their first meeting - and how Pam the artist is left lingering on the color of his eyes.
Looking forward to seeing you play this out!
Author's Response: Oooh I’m so glad you’re here! I am very excited about this AU, and I really wanted the dynamic between Pam and Karen to be very striking and clear why Pam would feel insecure. I think her personality is so true to so many incoming first year students in college and those fears are so real as well as the desire to truly fit in. I am imagine Jim coming in, naturally feeling a bit more comfortable and helping her ease into that transition. All of the things that can and do happen to college students in this first year are on the table for this story as well as some surprises. I can’t wait to hear more of your thoughts!

I love the whole premise of this already! I'm intrigued to see if he goes for Pam automatically (which it seems like the answer is yes) or if he ever goes after Karen at all. I can't wait to read updates on this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much Beth! There will be some twists in this one, but of course, so much fluff too. I can’t wait to hear more of your reviews! And thank you!

I'm liking this setup already. The meet-cute with Jim was adorably sweet. Pam rooming with Karen looks interesting. Seem to be lots of ways you could play that. Always fun to see a new college AU. Looking forward to seeing where this one leads us.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! My other WIP needs a break, and I was feeling this AU for a while. I work in the college system and in residence life so this is sort of my forte, so putting my two favorite people in this setting just seems fitting. More to come very soon!
