[@Double Capybara] No Capy, your writing HAS improved. I can proudly declare that before you used to spell 'through' as 'trough' ALL THE TIME. Now you only do it sometimes :D

Jokes aside, [i]The Grand Parade[/i] DEFINITELY got better with each new part. I know this because I waited until you were finished with it before reading it all in one go - and I could feel the improvement as I read :) I think you're just comparing how you felt when you wrote those posts to how you feel now (I think), because you've been in planning mode and something of writer's block for a while now
