“On a scale from one to ten, how crazy was what happened this morning with Michael for Dunder Mifflin Scranton? How does “grilling your foot on a Foreman Grill” fits in your daily lives? Because, try as I might, I don’t think I have a full perspective on the local landscape yet.”

Nodded through this whole passage - like I said in my earlier review - when you look at something long enough it seems normal - (excepting the times where you start to wonder if you spelled a simple word wrong after staring at it so long- you know where you doubt for a blip since you have spelled it million times - this is how I see the DMers - Karen has an internal spell check).


“Yes, you have the stupid yet unpredictable premise, the classic and insulting overreaction, and then the legendary conference meeting with props and guests,” Pam paused in reflection. - loved this.

SO I need to ask - since you have shifted events and things are happening not quite in same episodic order - where are we in the Michael and Jan storyline?Just a kiss or have they gone full into their wacky relationship. Either way - be careful Pam - you don't want to send your new friend and confidant running scared.

Fun chapter.

Author's Response:

Thanks! Yes, Karen has a strong internal spell check and DMers are speaking in a different language altogether.

Regarding the Michael/Jan storyline, we should still be following events from season 2. More or less.

I love Karen's continuing befuddlement here. Just such a blindingly bad fit for her. Her surface amusement and deep-down horror at realizing this isn't as bad as it gets is great. And Pam as her Scranton guide should be a lot of fun.

Author's Response: Thanks! Karen's befuddlement is really enjoyable for me to write :)

What a fun AU idea, I love the dynamic you've established here!

*“I would love to be engaged. How did you manage that?”

What kind of question was that?*

Ha! I think this every single time I watch this episode.

You know, it's interesting to think of Jim and Karen being strictly friends in this way. Canon Karen is extremely observant in pretty much every regard, the only weak spot being her own relationship with Jim. So this makes her character wiser and more likable.

Excited to see how you play this out. I hope Karen plays matchmaker because that feels like cosmic karma.

Welcome to MTT!

Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it. I think upon re-watch, I really appreciated Karen more, especially outside of the context of her relationship with Jim.

YAY. Glad you brought this one over! I am a firm believer in the ideas that Pam really needed a good female friend during this time and that Karen would've been a good bro for Jim if they hadn't tried to date, and this is a clever way to explore that.

I really like Karen's impression of Angela here and seeing both Katy and the craziness of Booze Cruise through her fresh eyes. And seeing Jim share The Secret with Karen instead of Pam feels like it has a lot of potential.

A very warm welcome to MTT! Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

Author's Response: Thank you! This fic is basically me giving Pam a female that can show her lovingly the errors of her way and give her a non-invested sounding board to start expressing herself. And Karen was a cool character that had the misfortune to come in the middle of the OTP to end all OTPs, so yeah.  :)

First off welcome to MTT.
This mash-up of the seasons and episodes and events that occured during them was a fresh new take. I especially enjoyed how Karen sort of takes over the Michael role on the boat...and was a little but more direct than even he was.
Sometimes the everyday gets so routine you don't notice what's going on around you. That seems to be the case for all the Dunder Mifflinites- so when Karen and the new crew arrive they/she notices a lot of stuff they don't- for instance how Jim is in love with Pam (and how crazy Michael is).

Looking forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like the concept. Hope you enjoy the rest of it :)

I’m usually not a Karen fan, like, at all but she isn’t bad here. A nice twist on the whole booze cruise episode so props for creativity on that.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out! Congrats on your first story!

Author's Response: Thanks! I really liked the dynamics in the NutCracker Christmas episode, so it kinda comes from that. I hope you enjoy the rest!
