Ha ha! True enough. And, actually, now that you've added a second part, it means the action starts relatively faster. Keep adding more, and I'll start complaining that they get to the wishes too fast.

Contrast this with The SRU Dream Girl scenario from the BESC. I love my MC, but <expletive deleted>! Still gives me the effing creeps. That said, Kris P Kreme was the right guy to wrap that up, and he did it without betraying the story. I couldn't. It's still damn unpleasant, but he'd been written into a corner.

I actually had a less horrible scenario in mind to finish "Dream Girl" -- had I known they were going to employ a different author to write an ending, I might have attempted to throw my hat into the ring. (I don't remember the details anymore, but it's basically irrelevant anyway.)
