Yay! *hugs all her friendly lurkers* I love lurkers so much! Especially when they briefly de-lurk! *hugs more*

I can't thank you for this comment enough. When I first read it, it cheered me up for the whole day, and now I read it again and it still cheers me up. :D Thank you for being patient with me about my slow writing, but thanks also for really wanting the next chapter!! I'm looking forward SO much to being able to publish the next chapter. I'm totally THRILLED. Thanks again!

(P.S. You aren't _that_ quiet a fan. According to my stats-counter I get a good couple of hundred visitors a month, but I only actually have comments from or am friended by about 50 or so. I at least have seen you around, so you count as one of the elite in my book!)
