My pleasure! I've always figured that being able to easily comment on my favourite fics and other bits of writing or artwork that make me happy is one of the undersung joys of the net. Besides, most fanfic writers don't get 'paid' per se, so I think it's important to encourage excellence as and when I find it. To hear that you're five chapters ahead just selfishly makes me even happier; that sort of self-discipline means it's much less likely that this fic will suddenly go on hiatus when real life gets acutely fractious (which is something I must confess I have certainly been guilty of)
By 'intercharacter relationships' I assume you mean the flurry of Tifa-and-Cloud, Zack-and-Sephiroth and Zack-and-Aeris comments I've spotted in response to some previous chapters. Personally, I must say I remain cheerfully unconcerned by the pervading sense of anxiety expresssed in a number of the comments concerning your intentions. While this should not be taken to mean I have no opinion on any of the pairs (your masterful handling of plot and characterisation has made me care rather a lot about the characters), it is your fic, with your character development and relationships. I have confidence that, based on past performance, you will do it justice.
I had best stop there, rather than risk another snarky Live Journal 'Your reply was too long, cut it' comment when I try to post, and I had best be trotting off to work as my shift starts soon.
Maths major, huh? All this, and I'll bet you understand Fourier analysis too. (Though to be fair, it isn't the harmonics stuff that's the current bane of my existance. Helloooooo statistics. Sigh.)
