Thank you very much for your kind comments. There are a roughly four more chapters left.
As to other stories, I do have two in mind, though one I think is far too dark and I can find no suitable ending for it (at least not one that doesn't end in the death of a main character).
In truth, I've used the last two stories as practice to finally write the novel that's been kicking around my head for years. I feel I'm now finally ready to start writing it.
