Oh wow. Fantastic. I loved this. You did a beautiful job of aging Karen's voice while staying true to the canon format and keeping her-- Karen. It's a struggle to make them sound like they did in the books without dating them, and you did it wonderfully.
Great. Now I not only had to find a dress, all by myself, but it had to be something really special and unique and surprising. See what I mean about my big mouth?
I loved this. It rang so true to Karen and cracked me up. And I remember that feeling, especially at that age, that desperate, "Oh crap, why did I say that?" feeling.
I could skip the prom and claim that I had the black death.
This cracked me up too. Sigh.
Anyway, very sweet story. I loved bringing in that bridesmaid dress (although I cringed when Karen cut off the sleeves!) and I loved how Karen was feeling about her friends having dates and how she didn't feel like she could talk about it with anyone and all the little hints at her feelings. Lovely all around!
