Thank you! I really appreciate people telling me things like that.
In terms of word count, I have about the next 19k (another 2/3 of what is currently posted) already written. I'm currently hung up on a few things I need to work out, including the surprisingly painful task of finding names for original minor characters. So you will definitely get more story eventually. :)
