Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Great to see you back, wendolf! This was really great. And I can totally relate. It's so hard to know when a dream is something you should pursue or just something you should fantasize about. I think Jim feels the same way. Only thing I would say is, do you think Jim still thinks of Karen so often? I mean did she really mean that much to him that he'd still be comparing her to Pam? I get what you were trying to do but part of me thinks that Jim rarely thinks of Karen at all anymore. But, that aside, I really enjoyed reading this and thought it was spot on.
Author's Response: Thanks SGS! Yeah, I think we all can relate to these types of feelings re: dreams ... As far as Karen goes, I don\'t think Jim thinks of her in any nostalgic kind of way. He probably doesn\'t think about her much at all. But in this fic, since he\'s thinking about his aspirations or whatever, he\'d maybe ponder the differences between how Karen was and how Pam is, especially regarding his future. Karen seemed to want him to be serious and driven, a NYC kind of guy, and Pam seems happy with a simpler, Scranton version of Jim. That\'s all. But you\'re right -- it\'s not like I think he thinks about her in any important way. Thanks for reading and reviewing! I truly appreciate it.
