It goes just far enough, but not too far. I can totally see someone wanting a restraining order on karen.

ITA! I esp. loved how Karen was trying to force her friends to give her their own Club G money so SHE could buy stuff...and called them greedy and selfish when they refused! CLASSIC! ;D

OMG. I checked out this fanfic yesterday and it's brilliant. The author really understands the tone of Karen's narration in the LS books, and it's tremendously entertaining. I'm hooked!

There's a really good Jackie/Marilyn story called Accidentally in Love at bscfanfiction.greatestjournal.com.

My Mother's Daughter was just updated on ff.net. I almost peed myself. Awesome. Two chapters! Lots of insight into Grace's many issues. So glad it's gotten updated again. By the way, I know there are some other Office fans here, and I came across this story with some Office characters as "PSC" members. It's a parody of Logan Likes Mary Anne. Pretty funny.

I'm loving Karen's Shoplifting Trip. I'm so glad it got recommended on here cause normally I would avoid Karen fics. I'm glad to see My Mother's Daughter was updated, except that I haven't even started on reading it yet. I plan on it soon, or maybe just waiting til it ends and reading it all together. I saw Give Me Time was updated. I've tried reading that one, and others by that author, but I just can't seem to get into them. Does anyone else feel that way about that fic? I feel like I'm the only one.

I know what you mean about Give Me Time. It's way too dramatic. I mean, what else can go wrong with Mary Anne? Also, it's very out of character.

^I agree with how out-of-character everyone is. I'm sorry, but Mary Anne would never smoke pot. The story is well-written, but I also find the contemporary references grating, for some reason.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't read Give Me Time. I also couldn't read Meant to Be or the other one. They seem to drag on and on, while the writing is VERY good. I just can't get into it, I'm glad i'm not the only one.

I read a couple of chapters of give me time. My take on this author's stories is that they're not really bsc fanfiction. They just feel like independent stories of their own which happen to use names such as Mary Anne Spier and Logan Bruno. Maybe there is more attempt to utilize canon later on, but there wasn't much early on. I mean, since when has ma called dawn "dawnie"

^And calling Mary Anne "May" (although that may have been in Meant to Be, not Give Me Time).

Logan's sudden italian fluency also bothered me. If he were fluent it would have been in the books. Period.
It seems like all the gushing reviews don't come from within the fandom.
