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

I'm glad to see that you are doing okay! I'm also sorry that I won't be able to read anymore of your stories,but I also understand that life goes on and sometimes we just can't keep up with it . Maybe down the road you will get that itch again and start to write again even if it's just for your own pleasure.
You have a talent for it and it is something I always wished I had but never will. Wish you all the best in what ever you do :) Stay Healthy and Take Care of You! Hugs and Kisses<33333333

Hello long time no see author-nim~ (waiving hard) really happy to hear from you and know that you are all well and are still with EunHae (the two brats XD) Truly understand and respect and support your decision regarding translation of your stories. So far I haven't come across translation of your stories in the Chinese language but if I do in the future, I will report to you. I do wish that motivation will knock on your door someday in the future :) but in the meantime I'm already grateful that you have given us so many great stories (that I can re-read from time to time) :) But I have to say that I'm quite disappointed with myself that I've missed your deleted stories ^^||. Wish you all the very best in life and please do drop us a note from time to time letting us know that you are all well :D

I hope you can find your motivation and confidence once again because your stories are really amazing...trust me please, I'm not saying it to make you feel better but because it's the truth ~
Ofc it's okay to not force yourself to write if you don't feel like it...take it easy maybe the desire and the inspiration will come back in the future :)
Take care! <3
