It's been a while since I write a blog post and suddenly I want to. AFF might be not as crowded as it used to be, but I can still have fun with it.  It almost a year since I actively wrote in AFF again and this account is 2 years old. This is the most consistent account I ever worked on--I consistently post at least one-shot weekly. There are many things that happened during this year.

Started with, me, trying to make this account like a Netflix, LOL. It happened without me realizing it. When I start to write, here again, I sorted my one-shot into journals. I must say, I am quite satisfied by how neat it looks now--and that is half of the reason why I said it is like a subscription service. Then, I found out there is crowdfund system and I tried it--now it is almost completely like Netflix. Since this is my hobby, I don't want to charge so much--also because I can only offer early access at that time.

Some of my friends couldn't use Paypal to support me. One of them suggested I branch into Patreon. So, I did. I was wondering what kind of thing I should post there that made it distinct compared to my AFF account. Usually, I posted a one-shot weekly in AFF and I still have some one-shot stored in my laptop to post it later--trying to pace myself here. Then, I thought that I could post all of the yet-unpublished one-shots in my Patreon account while later posting it in AFF on weekly basis--just like now. But, sadly, the censorship in Patreon is quite strict. Some words like cursing and some sensual words are restricted while I used them often in my s. At first, I want to delete my Patreon and just used AFF but then I decided to use my Patreon as my blog, sharing ideas, plot, story concepts, behind the scene, etc., and applying early ideas in AFF. Thus, UNPUBLISHED is born.

There were complaints about access restrictions in my stories, especially the restriction toward chapter 11 and above that could only be accessed by the members. Back when I decided to do that, I reviewed the situation in my crowdfund membership. From numerous one-shots, only one chapter each week can be specially accessed by the members. Well, even though it is only a dollar membership, I want to make those people special and worth the money they spent supporting me. Thus, I make the restriction toward chapter 11 and above.

So far, only GIRLS' GENERATION PLAYLIST has more than 10 chapters and that restriction. I don't have the idea to keep writing restricted chapters. Probably once in a while. I will write more one-shots that can be accessed more freely and that's why I keep making new journals and playlists in the future. 

Since I felt bad about the restriction, I made THE PITCHED PARTY where there is no such restriction even though it has more than 10 chapters. Through there, I can engage more with my subscribers. And, if you are wondering what is the special entry that posted there, it was a requested story from my patrons.

I think those are the major happening in this account.

Thank you for liking my story.

Let's get through this year safely and joyfully.
