You are fantastic. These lines: In her head she had let him do the singing, let him do the asking; Besides, she suspects that Jim's prank has backfired a bit, as Andy has been telling anyone who will listen how well things are going with Pam and who is she to get in between a love match like that?; and She finds if she squints hard enough she can pretend it is a skyscraper flickering in the distance, as if it is getting ready to turn off its lights for the night and go to sleep beside her were heartbreaking. Especially the last one -- what a perfect metaphor for Jim.
Author's Response: You are too much! Thank you!! I really appreciate that you pulled out the individual lines that affected you. It is always fascinating to see what the reader responds to. That last line I wrote is, I think, my favorite line of anything I've written. It evokes such a sad image in my mind, like this dull weight, and I really think that feeling is what makes me feel for Karen through season 3. I'm glad to hear it did the same for you. Thank you so much for the review! I really appreciate it.

Excellent. I love the background you've given Karen- the traveling, the smoking, the desire for friends, all of it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! For some reason I just really identify with Karen and I want to make her more real. I'm glad you felt I succeeded! Thanks for the review.

This is really, really fascinating. The comment about Jim being less "angular" at Scranton is another one of those brilliant ones - so true, and on so many levels.
I really hope you're continuing this....?
Author's Response: Thanks! I definitely plan on continuing but I'm a little stuck because I have too many directions I want to go in? I am trying to figure out which one feels right for this Karen. I might use some of the others for one shots. When I started I really wanted to use it as a supplement to provide a Karen perspective from week to week but when there aren't episodes I get worried about writing something that will become too far from future developments.
