Hello everyone! To celebrate my upcoming tenth anniversary on AFF in exactly six months, I wanted to do something special for my readers. :) I've done numerous merchandise giveaways for AFF writers through my various writing contests (current active contest is Shoes of a Unicorn), but never anything for readers even though they are just as important to the AFF community. So to thank my readers for being supportive despite my irregular updates, I am hosting album giveaways for the readers of all of my active story threads. :)

It will be in a raffle format in which you can earn entries and I will randomly choose one winner per story thread at the end. The winners will be gifted one album of their choosing, all costs covered by me!

Winners will have forty-eight hours to PM me and claim their prizes. We will then discuss what album will be mailed to you. Winners must be willing to provide a full name and a valid address to ship their prizes to. All information will be kept private.

The giveaways will run from May 18, 2020 until November 18, 2020.

HOW TO ENTER
- Subscribe (5 entries)
- Upvote (5 entries)
- Comment (3 entries per chapter)
- Crowdfund Supporter (50 entries)

All current readers of my active story threads will be automatically entered into the respective giveaways. However, if you'd like to opt-out for whatever reason, please let me know! The active story threads that will have an album giveaway are:

- Thanks for Everything (OC x Lee Jeongmin, completed, 31 max entries)

- Nostalgia (OC x Kim Jongdae (Chen), completed, 16 max entries)

- One Plus One Equals Three: The BaekChenLay Chronicles (Zhang Yixing (Lay) x Byun Baekhyun x Kim Jongdae (Chen), in progress, 322 max entries)

- The Meaning of Perfection (Do Kyungsoo (D.O) x Kim Jongin (Kai), in progress, 127 max entries)

- One Wish (Do Kyungsoo (D.O) x Kim Jongin (Kai), completed, 28 max entries)

- Two Halves of a Heart: A HyungKi Mini-Collection (Yoo Kihyun x Chae Hyungwon, in progress, 31 max entries)

All old-time readers will get a 2x bonus for being a subscriber and/or an upvoter (10 entries for each action instead of 5), and all comments made prior to May 18, 2020 will also get a 2x bonus (6 entries per chapter instead of 3) as a thank you for being loyal for all of these years. :)

You aren't required to do all of the actions in order to qualify for the giveaways. If you like keeping your subscriptions list tidy with only certain stories, you can just upvote and/or comment to gain those respective entries (although it might be difficult to keep up with future updates for ongoing stories if you're not subscribed ^^;). If you only give upvotes to your absolute favorite stories, you can just subscribe and/or comment to gain those respective entries. If you're a silent reader and you're not comfortable leaving comments, you can just subscribe and/or upvote to gain those respective entries. You also aren't required to comment on every single chapter. Commenting on more chapters will increase your number of entries, which will give you a statistically higher chance of winning. But it'll all come down to luck in the end, so don't feel like you need to force yourself to comment if you don't have the time or you just don't feel up to it. However, comments with no substance (e.g. spam comments, comments only containing "update soon", etc.) will NOT qualify as entries. You don't need to write an essay (although it'll make me smile if you do, hehe), but clearly low-effort comments will NOT be counted to weed out scammers.

Also, please DO NOT create shell accounts to try and gain more entries. An easy way to cancel these giveaways and any future ones is by cheating, so let's not do that. Please play fair.

To also encourage comments on other AFF authors' stories because all writers on here work incredibly hard to create amazing content, you can gain extra entries by commenting on their stories. The rate will be 1 entry per comment per chapter and I will cap it at 100 comments/entries maximum. Because these are extra, you must already be entered into the giveaways for these other comments to count. Again, comments with no substance will NOT be considered and your comment must be within the entry period, nothing earlier or later. Comments on contests, shops, or any other non-story threads will also NOT be eligible. You can either comment on this blog post or PM me with the stories you are reading and commenting on, and I will check your comments and time-stamps before adding your entries into the raffle.

For transparency, I will keep a list of the entries on here and update it every time I post a new chapter to any of my stories.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. Anyway, I hope this is fun and thank you so much to the AFF community for being such a wonderful place to call home for the past ten years. :) See you all in November!
