You know, for having difficulty, you really seem to have triumphed here.  The mood is perfect.  Karen's inner monologue (and really, nearly inner dialogue - without being schizophrenic) is perfect.  Nothing really more that needs to be said.

Summary: Past Featured Story"She looks away, and gives the start button on the copy machine a good smack as she wonders why she feels guilty spying on the man she’s sleeping with comfort another woman."

I've read this before, maybe a couple of times (though my brain doesn't work that well with remembering details like that) and it felt like a kick in the junk then, and it still feels like a kick in the junk now.  You really make us feel for Karen here (easy for me, since I like her, harder for others who don't).  Well done.

Summary:

Ryan kind of wishes Jim had stayed in Stamford. Seating arrangements make an already odd situation even weirder. A sprinkling of Jam with Ryan and Kelly on the side.

I'm not sure what to say about this.  The doomed grasping for more that Karen is doing here just feels really tangible (if not quite gelling with how she is portrayed on screen).  I'm not sure if I can accurately convey in words how I feel about this fic.  Gritty.

This kicked serious ass.  Lots of ambiguity and grey area makes for a great fic, especially when we can't really tell what's going to happen, if Karen wins, or Jim goes nuts or anything like that.  And you actually know your French and Montreal, which is impressive (either that or you're very good at faking it) - I'm Canadian, I took French in school through to grade 10 and I can't get the hang of it at all.

Okay, this should have more than 7 glowing reviews.  So much hurt and disappointment wrapped up in there on the side of the road.  Just very well written.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! This is actually my favourite of everything I have posted here, but I think it doesn't get a lot of love because it's not Jim/Pam. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Alex!

So much of this fic was great.  I can't comment on it all, so I'll just highlight one little thing that almost made me vomit... "Maybe it’s all her talking but she knows what to do with her tongue, and that’s something."  Nice work.

Summary:

This is a Karen focused stream of conscious/pov on all things developing in Scranton... contains mild spoilers through The Convict. Since it is Karen centered right now it is mostly Jim/Karen focused, but clearly Pam is there too and will likely play a larger role in the future.

Wow this is deep.  I think I read it before, or just skimmed it or something, but every little thing about this isolated, slightly dark Karen seems to ring true.  Your writing style is almost tactile, if that makes any sense at all, like it's touching the mood with its fingers.

Looking at that comment now, it would appear that I am high.



Author's Response: Thanks. I was really frustrated when we weren't getting any information on Karen and I needed to flesh her out, make her more real. To me, that for Karen was a little dark. I did once read somewhere that fanfic is better under the influence so well played. My tactile writing style thanks you.
