8. Ryan's Proposal by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 7] 3 (2365 words)
This is it. Thanks to everyone who has been following it. It's been great getting reviews-it's helped me keep plugging away on this little first time venture.
9. What a Difference a Year Makes by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 3] 1 (710 words)
I decided that I had not had enough of Jim and Ryan, and their dealings with each other. This takes place a year after the previous chapter ended. This is basically the prologue to the three to four chapters which go in a completely new direction. I love feedback, as it drives me to continue on! (Or not.)
10. The Pieces Fall into Place by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 4] 1 (1495 words)
Thanks to all those who have been reviewing. It really does mean a lot. And I will take back the whole 3-4 chapters here, because I think this section might just be taking on a life of its own. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
11. The Secret is Out by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 2] (1288 words)
Thank you so much to everyone who has been continuing to read this. I didn't intend for it to get quite so long, but there seemed to be more story to tell. I really appreciate all the reviews, and it really makes my day to read that someone's been enjoying this even half as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
12. Making it Happen by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 3] (2012 words)
Thanks to everyone sticking with this. I never imagined I would be at Chapter 12 and still going strong when I started. Again, thank you to those who have been reading and reviewing. I can't tell you how much I look forward to reading the reviews, knowing that people are enjoying it.
13. Swayed by Boyish Charm by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 2] 2 (1397 words)
Sorry for the long delay. I continue to own nothing.
14. Respecting Authority by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 2] (1473 words)
I don't own Jim or Ryan or Dunder-Mifflin. Or anyone or anything. Sad, isn't it?
15. Jim, Pam and the Three Bosses by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 5] 1 (2940 words)
This is the homestretch on this one, for real this time. There should be one more chapter followed by an epilogue. Thank you so much to those who stuck through this, my first effort. I really appreciate all the reviews, you have no idea.
I don't own anything, which I think is really unfortunate. Then I could quit my day job.
16. Futons and Coffeehouses by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 1] 1 (2209 words)
This is definitely the last full chapter. I'll try and post an epilogue next week, but this is pretty much the end of this saga. Thanks to all those who stuck with it, I really appreciate all the kind words I received. It's kind of hard to put this first child to rest.
And, of course, I do continue at my day job. This alone says I own nothing.
17. Dunder-Mifflin: Where Dreams Come True by Becca Lavender [Reviews - 1] 1 (1164 words)
This is it! Thank you for sticking around. It's been fun getting into this whole fanfic thing, and hearing from people reading has made it my new favorite hobby.
And no, I own nothing still.
