I never knew I'd enjoy a Jim/Roy/Pam/Karen showdown this much. Thank you for this original idea!

I have wanted to read a fic like this FOREVER. I love it, I love angry Roy and beat up Jim, and pissy Karen, and poor Pammy omg LOVE.

"Then it was a lie of the mission!” he blusters.
I love it when Roy channels Michael. :)
Tell him that you had feelings for him while we were together.
Wow, Roy really knows how to get a party started?
I have to wonder what the neighbors are doing, what with all this shouting on the lawn. Me, I'd be popping popcorn, but that's just me.
Lovin' all of this!
Author's Response:
Heh. See, originally I typed it without the mispeak, but then I was like 'Hmm... omission seems like a pretty big word for drunken Roy..."
And I totally though the same thing about the neighbors. As I was writing chapter four I was like, "Oh jeeze! Would someone have called the cops on them yet? What are the neighbors thinking?!" I almost wrote some neighbors into this, but decided against it.

I love SnarkyPissed!Jim! And how Karen is still kind of composed throughout it all, b/c she's tough. I love this whole story, really.
Author's Response: I love SnarkyPissed!Jim too! (I always think "Like your thoughts and feelings?" when I think of this Jim). And I'm glad you liked Karen because I'm a little worried that I've been keeping her too much in the background.

roy is such a jerk but he did have a great last sentence.:)
Author's Response: Oh, totally. The more a jerk he becomes, the closer we get to Jam. Both on the show and in this fic :)

This IS different! And oh, Pam, and Jim, they just will never get it, will they? Please update soon!
Author's Response: It seems that way doesn't it? Those two drive me crazy. Thanks for the review!

I think my favorite part of this is when Jim gets all snarky with Roy and Pam, hee! I just kept thinking, go Jim! Be a brat! I so love this fic.
Author's Response: Yay! That was the most fun to write too. I LOVE making Jim a brat. As adorable as he can be, when he's snarky I'm like a puddle on the floor. So I'm hoping to inject some snarkiness into the next chapter too.

“Then it was a lie of the mission!” he blusters
“What?” she asks, more confused than ever.
“I think he means lie of omission,” Jim interjects in a mocking tone.
Okay I'm sorry THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD! I mean first it's just a funny freaking joke...on top of that, just how meshed it was within the drama of it all - come to find out Roy is still simple Roy. FREAKING HILARIOUS.
Beyond that just a GREAT chapter!!! You've literally managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time. And Roy....oh poor simple Roy....he basically just signed his own walking papers AGAIN. Now he's spilled the beans on those kisses being MORE than just kisses. Shan, I just ADORE this story.
Author's Response:
Okay, I'm totally giggling here, because when I wrote that I thought to myself, "No one is going to think this is funny, Shannon. You are a dork. Cut this part." But I couldn't bring myself to do it. Plus, any chance I have to expose Roy as a simple idiot, I will. I loathe him ever so much.
And can I just say that this was my first ever bolded review, and I'm loving it? I clicked to see new reviews and I was like, WHOA! What's this? It makes me feel special :) So thanks!

WOW! That was amazing! I love all the turmoil and all the confusion and bitterness that was rolled up into this chapter---agonizing b/c I want Jim and Pam together---but damn does it make for a GREAT story!
I'm so glad you're half way through the next chapter b/c I'm dying to read it!
More soon!
Author's Response:
*squeal* Thank you! I don't promise to have the same amazing update speed as Moxie, but I'll try very hard to write quickly :)

Ahhhh! Yes Pam, tell him you had feelings for him when she was with Roy. Write really fast shan!!!
Author's Response:
Ha! I can't make it that easy, now can I? We'll see... Thanks for reading and reviewing!

The whole time I was reading this I kept glancing over at the blue rectangle hoping it wasn't getting too close to the down arrow. I just wanted this chapter to go on and on. Please, update soon. I can't wait to see both Jim and Karen's reaction to Roy's admission.
Author's Response:
Wow, thanks! Actually, the chapter was originally like 1,000 words longer, but I decided to cut it off there and start a new chapter. Sorry! The next chapter will be from Jim's POV, so we'll know his thoughts on the admission right away.

Ok you know that i love evil cliffhangers as much as the next girl, but SHAN! You better post soon before I burst .....POP......too late.
It was worth the wait for chapter 3, I loved it. You really have ramped up the angst, so i really can't wait for the payoff. :-)
Author's Response:
Oh no! I popped you! Now I'll never get chapter 7 of Courage! I did not think this through...
Seriously, thanks so much! I am brainstorming what I hope is a good payoff, although I'm pretty sure it won't come until chapter 5...

This is so exciting! Lots of drama, uncharacteristic of these characters, yet still perfectly in character.
Author's Response: Thank you! That is exactly what I was hoping people would think. Are you reading my mind?

Roy needs a good swift kick in the groin. Perhaps a few kidney shots as well. This story is so freaking fantastic. Thanks so much for writing! I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Agreed. Or in this case, maybe he just needs to fall on his hand again. Thanks for your kind comments! I'm glad you like it!

I think you are doing a great job with this story. You tweaked a lot of the elements of season 3 into a very realistic confrontation, and a big ol' mess, which is where this whole plotline has been heading for a while. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad that it seems realistic to you :)
Author's Response: OMG! I got a ribbon! I just gasped out loud and my friends thought something was wrong. hee!

Oh God, this is almost as bad as the show (I mean that in a good way) I'm just dying for Jim and Pam to connect. Great story telling, really dramatic.
Author's Response: Thank you! Jim and Pam will connect in chapter 4, I promise :)

I think you broke my brain.
This is, like, everything I've ever wanted to read in a season 3 fanfiction, but written carefully and deftly and without sinking to cliche or losing touch with the characters. Including Karen and Roy, which is so rare and so awesome!
To conclude: Please post the next chapter while I build this shrine to you in the backyard.
PS: The cliffhanger is killing me!
Author's Response:
Oh my god. I'm laughing so hard right now. THANK YOU!
I am beyond happy to hear you say that I'm staying true to the characters, because this is, like, hugely dramatic for me. I never write drama like this. I mean, physical fighting? Yeah, never written that before. So naturally I was really worried that there was too much action and dialogue and not enough, you know, deep authorish stuff... Wow, I sound like a complete tool, but you know what I mean, right?
And I'd like to request that the shrine include both candles and incense, because sometimes shrines just include one or the other and I think that's just so wrong.

I love the twist in this - that the kiss Jim confessed about and the kiss Pam did are two completely different things. Brings a whole new meaning to miscommunication - and these two have been experts in that all season. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! You are so right about Jim and Pam. They are the champions of miscommunication. Hey! Maybe Michael could try to mediate their conflict! Oh my god... I so want to write that fic now. Michael with his win/win/win theory...

Uh...wow. I think I was holding my breath through that whole chapter. This is really good. Intense.
More, please!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad that the suspense was still there for you. In the next chapter, it's going to wind down a bit.

Also, I'm already halfway done with my first draft of the next chapter :)
Well, hurry up then! I'm dying to see this play out!
