Bio:
I started writing fanfic before I knew what it was, as a kid in the 70's and 80s, making up stories in my head as I fell asleep about the further adventures of Han Solo, Remington Steele, and the Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I'm just that dorky. But, this Office fanfic is the first I've commited to the printed word.

Nice job....The part I'd personally remove from Karen's speech is the bit about not finding someone like Jim.....frankly, I'd like her to have the self-posession to know that he really isn't for her, either, and the lack of fit is mutual....I don't like to think about her pining over the Magnificent Jim, but rather finding some hot lawyer to run off with and laugh at that doofus she used to date...
