This is interesting as a one shot. I like Jim being known by everyone there, and I enjoy Pam kissing Dwight's cheek. Good moments throughout.

Oh man. This is a good setup and story, and I can totally see a Dwandy fight in this kind of context. Thanks for sharing!

Oh dear. I mean, I really like how you're filling in a Karen backstory here and I think it makes her really sympathetic, but holy moley girl see the red flags in front of you and run!

Author's Response:

Quite. She seems smart - it's a bit of a puzzle she allowed herself to get dragged into this. IMO, obvs.   :0)

Thanks for your review, Comfect!

I'm very much looking forward to the perspective of hallucinatory Jim. This is a really good story so far, especially Pam/Karen, so I'm excited for where you go with it next!

Author's Response: Thanks! Hope hallucinatory Jim worked for you.

Well then. Where to start. I love Pam's section most, but honestly all three are great. Good work on getting them all thinking but also SHOWING the thinking, not just implying it. Good work with Tom. I really enjoy this, glad to hear more is on the way (and yes, if you want to cliffhang I personally would appreciate a quick update after).

Author's Response:

Thanks, Comfect! Glad you enjoyed Tom.

Illicit Affairs by nicemorningtoo Rated: T [Reviews - 12] 18

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

And you know damn well

For you I would ruin myself

Oh I was so worried you were going to have Karen there. Instead, I really liked the ending. Good use of canon words in a non-canon moment and good of Jim to listen more than he did in canon.

Ouch. Like, good ouch in that it definitely hits that S3 angst pocket, but nonetheless. He's so very prickly. Bad Jim. No biscuit.

Author's Response: No biscuit indeed. He’s definitely not the most endearing version of Jim I’ve ever written... Thanks Comfect!

"She decides that not-Dwight is more of an Andy and she likes him a whole lot less for it. " I loved this line.

Overall, this chapter was a welcome one. I really enjoyed their communication finally, and I hope you continue enjoying writing this!

Author's Response: Comfect, I’m so glad you’ve reappeared (& in a flurry of reviews no less). Can we tell I’m definitely not Andy’s number one fan...

I loved it! The ending is great. Buty favorite word smithing was "She’s constructed careful barricades around her mind since she realized that Jim hadn’t returned from

Stamford alone. We’re just friends she’s been instructing her brain. His words have to push past the construction before they sink in." Lovely use of the metaphor.

Just in general, top notch all round.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I’m glad my millions of metaphors can still hit the mark from time to time!

I've never encountered your source material but I'm here for the story. Good setup, nice use of Karen, looking forward to where it goes!

Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words! No worries, I will be straying a bit from the source material, but the plot is very similar. You're not missing anything. I love this Karen, ngl. Thanks again!

That last line is excellent. I liked the whole thing (this show could use more honesty!). But the last line was killer.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

I understand why you say it's done, but if you later decided you wanted to show what actually, maturely, fixing it would look like, I wouldn't mind. It's nice to see Pam working out of despair without jumping straight to elation. Well done.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Comfect, I truly appreciate your feedback. I'd like to write something like that in the future, but for now, I don't think I'm skillful enough (or mature myself) to make this story realistic and complete. 

5 Years On by onedaymore Rated: M [Reviews - 3] 3
Summary: 5 years after Jim takes the job at corporate and marries Karen, he runs into Pam at a store back in Scranton. What's different? What's the same? I think this idea has been done before, but I wanted to give my own personal take on the concept.

Date: August 16, 2020 Title: Chapter 1: The Store In Scranton

I would like to see this continue. There are bits that take me out of the story (moving from NYC to Scranton he'd have more money, since cost of living is lower; Albany/NYC is 100% not a doable commute for a marriage, though I suppose you could use that as a reason it failed). But I like Cassie and I'm interested in where this might go now they've yelled at each other enough to get some truths out.
