Welcome to my Crowdfund Page!
First, I'm Rhi, and as you all know, I like to write stories here in AFF. I am usually on gxg pairings like TaeNy, YoonHyun, and WinRina. Now, don't let the "Crowdfunded" statement in my works overwhelm you if you are reading my ongoing stories.
There will be no plans (as of now) to put my stories on early access on updates but this is simply a way of supporting me and getting access to PDF versions of my pre-selected "Completed" works.
I know some are confused and there will be questions so I listed things down here:
Q: What is a crowdfund?
- According to AFF, Crowdfunding is a way for supporters to send their favorite author’s tips, donations, and the necessary funding to help them continue producing great content. We set ourselves apart from other crowdfunding programs in that we do not charge extra fees (we don't need it) and our authors keep more of what they get.
- This is an invite-only program for vetted authors to ensure that our members are safe in entrusting them with their sponsorship.
Q: How much will it be? Is it a subscription?
- The minimum I inputted is $5 as there is PDF access here. If you want to give more, it’s also fine. It’s ONE TIME payment only and you shall not get any concurring charges after that.
Q: Why open a Crowdfund when you already have work?
- Well, being a fangirl is expensive. We all know that. And there are a lot of times that I wanted to buy merch but I can't afford them cause I have important bills to pay. So I came to the idea of having this kpop hobby self-sufficient through this.
PS: I know having merch isn't a necessity which is why this program is completely optional. That's also the reason why I didn't opt to do early access thingy because my stories are still pretty much public.
Q: If there's no early access, what's in it for me?
- The real perk here is really getting PDF access to my stories. I have quite a long list of works already so this is really worth it if you enjoy my writing style.
Tier 1:
- PDF of Manila(WinRina)
- PDF of Operation: Pop The Cherry (WinRina Version)
- PDF of Operation: Pop The Cherry (original TaeNy version)
- PDF of High Class e (original TaeNy version)
For other ongoing stories and oneshot, I'll open a separate Tier for them.
GGABG has a chance of being rebooted though this is a separate tier too. Stay tuned.
Do know that even if you do have access to the PDF versions of my stories listed above, I strictly forbid anyone to copy, resell, repost, convert or share it with any other entity. PLAGIARISM is a crime.
Q: How do I join the Crowdfund?
- Just click on the yellow PayPal.me button on the top/left side of this page to send the payment then fill out this form. Please wait for 24-48 hours before getting added to the list of sponsors as I have to manually add you.
Q: What if I don't have a PayPal account but wants to join?
- If living inside Philippines, send me a private message for bank info/GCash account.
Q: If I want to donate a larger amount, can I?
- Of course! If you feel like giving me more funds for merch, please feel free to do so. If you’d like to add a message to that generous tip, there’s a message section on the form above.
Q: I don’t see any download PDF option on the story even if I’m included on the list of sponsors.
- I will be sending a separate link for PDF downloads.
Q: When will the PDF links be available?
- Since I have to compile them and convert them into PDFs, I’d say my target date is around March 1, 2022.
Q: Do you have a master list of your works?
- It will be included in my PDF download link. :)
Q: Would you open a separate tier for fanfics requests?
- Possible, but I’m too busy at the moment for it. But if the situation permits, sure!
For transparency, I would be listing the things I already received from my readers even before this crowdfunding started to show that I am indeed using the said funds for aespa/SNSD merch. Some of these are from Twitter readers.
- Savage Synk Dive Album
- Karina Polaroid
- SMCU Official MD - 4X6 photo + postcard set
- Taeyeon “INVU” album
- Jikjik and Jinkyang 10cm Dolls
That’s basically it. I hope this clears things up and no pressure on sponsoring this little project. As I keep highlighting above, this is OPTIONAL and mostly just me getting ready for upcoming aespa albums cause I can smell how expensive they are already. T.T
Thank you for taking the time in checking this out. :D

Crowdfunding is a way for supporters to send their favorite authors tips, donations, and the necessary funding to help them continue producing great content. We set ourselves apart from other crowdfunding programs in that we do not charge extra fees (we don't need it) and our authors keep more of what they get.
This is an invite-only program for vetted authors to ensure that our members are safe in entrusting them with their sponsorship. When you purchase one of an author's tiers, you become a monthly sponsor of their work with added abilities such as access to early chapter releases or downloadable PDFs. Unsubscribing is also easy and can be done from here or through your PayPal account.
Transactions should be instant but if you don't see yourself subscribed to your chosen tier 10-20 minutes after your purchase, please send a message to the author letting them know of your subscription.
You can view your sponsorships in your Supported Works page [Profile nav=>Stories=>Crowdfunded].
A note from the founder: As the founder of Asianfanfics, I've met many wonderful writers on this site. As I've gotten to know them over the years, I've come to find that many of my friends here struggle to get by whether it be paying for school, everyday essentials, or what really gets to me, medical bills. After trying to see what could be done to help through crowdfunding, it became clear that dedicated crowdfunding platforms take out too much in fees. That's why I started this program just for authors so that they can receive the support they need without a middleman taking a chunk out of it. I wish you all luck in this and all of your other life endeavors and hope you all succeed.
