hello! it's me!
Hello guys! How have you been?
It's been so long since I last posted a blog, you probably thought I was dead or something! OTL
I'm still sticking around tho and I thought I could give you a little update about my stories and other stuff, because I still receive messages asking about these things.
Questions about translations:
(this will probably sound like I'm ranting but I'm not. I'm only trying to explain what has been going on)
In the past I gave my permission to several people to translate my stories with 3 conditions :
1- Ask me first (a basic)
2- Make sure to credit the story properly (another basic)
3- Tell me where they post it. Asking for the url is not meant to police people. I've received pms from people telling me my story was reposted on another website. But if I don't know where the allowed translations are posted, I can't know if my reposted story was stolen or if I had allowed it.
I don't think it's too much asking...? But then I found out that some people translated and reposted my stuff without crediting or some published it without even asking. Which is the same as stealing. Most people don't give me the url either, and when I find my story posted somewhere I can't tell if I allowed it or not.
For a long time I've been really upset about this, because I've spent so much time and efforts writing my stories, and some people have taken my stuff just like that... I've felt hurt.
That's why I decided to stop giving permission to translate my stories. I'm not taking it back from those who already got my permission in the past (but I do hope they credit my work properly).
I know people think I'm an idiot and this is unfair for those who didn't do anything wrong. But I've been fooled too many times and I don't want this to happen again. I don't want to get stressed and have to worry about this kind of things anymore.
I wish it didn't come to this because I'm always happy and honoured every time someone ask me if they can translate my stories! but now I also feel wary because I've had these bad experiences...
This is the only solution I came up with and I'm very sorry for those who've felt disappointed and annoyed. I hope at least you understand my motives.

About future projects:
I must be honest, I don't have any projects for AFF for the moment and I don't know if I'll make any new. I've had this feeling for a while that I'm no Prince if not Yours was my last update. I still love eunhae to death but I've gone through a bad patch and I've lost most of my motivation and self-confidence to write anything anymore.
I still love you guys very much and I'm always thankful for all the support and love I've been given until now ♥♥
Please take care ♥
