I've decided to record the various milestones for this story thus far, as well as the ways I've celebrated those achievements with my readers. Future milestones and 'rewards' will also be posted to let you guys know what to expect as reads, comments, and votes go up. This is only a little way for me to thank you all for reading, voting, and commenting, your support encourages me :).
