Aah, thank you so much! <3 <3 <3 (I promise I am working on the next part, so you won't have to keep rereading! I just got... life'd.) This is such amazing feedback, your summary of them is pretty much exactly what I was going for, so I can't tell you how happy I am to hear it.

Part Nine will be up soon, I swear. If it helps, I'm up to, like, 12 pages right now, so it should be done soon. *crosses fingers*
