Title: Chapter 4: Man Up, James Halpert
I like this! I love when characters have weaknesses and are idiots because, hi. That is life, is it not?
And obviously TV world is different from real world, but when I'm really something to connect with it, it's the hurt that resonates, not the 'it's a date.'
So, I'm proud that you wrote this. And the ending doesn't suck, it's beautifully written and if people think it suchs, they just don't like the content. Your end notes sum it up brilliantlly and I can absolutely see the roles changing hardcore.
And, it wasn't until I read the part where Karen was everything that he'd hoped Pam would be, it kind of hit me that's true. Probably very true. So, yes. I really love this.
Author's Response: Thanks a lot-- I think we think a lot alike. We all act like idiots sometimes, and in real life we don't get a nice happy ending all giftwrapped for us as a reward. I'm glad you noticed the part about the strengths of Pam vs Karen. I think Pam can spend her whole life trying to get strong with varying degree of success, while Karen was just born with a natural, innate toughness (with one Jim-sized loophole). So it kindof riled me that Jim appreciated Pam's so much and completely ignored Karen's. Thanks again for the feedback!
