A Message From the Author

Progressive

Please read the below, I have something important to ask.

Hi hello, this is the author speaking with news to share and a question to ask! Yaaayy!  ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

First of all, how are you all enjoying Progressive? You like it? You want to see more? Well then, you're in luck because I'm not planning to stop writing this! But, and this is a small 'but' don't worry, as Act 1 draws to a close Act 2 will start and let me tell you this: Act 2 will be longer. Much longer. I also plan to have longer chapters with Act 2 so it's likely that I won't be able to keep the promise of a daily update. Another reason is because I want to be able to focus on my other stories too, because I also have plans for a SyungDy one-shot involving Wizard!Andy and Demon!Hyesung. So I hope you can be patient with me ^^"

Also, as Act 2 starts (and aren't we all excited?) some...shall we say, concerns arise. You see, when I started writing this fic, I have plans for M-rated chapters. But, as someone who doesn't actively search for and read Shinhwa because, uh, reasons, I am well aware that it may alienate some readers. Particularly, readers who are not part of the AFF community and have words censored for the sake of keeping it clean, but also readers who are just not comfortable with mature content. And so, after pondering this for a while, I've wrote down two alternate plots, one for no M-rated content, and the other with M-rated content.

This does not mean Progressive will become an M-rated story. If I write in mature content, I will indicate so in the chapters. The story itself will always remain available to the general public, regardless.

Now comes the question of which path I should take. Since I'm not only writing this for myself but also for the enjoyment of my readers, I'm going to let you decide whether or not I'll put in M-rated content with the poll below. Remember: Whether or not I put in M-rated content will affect the storyline quite significantly. Otherwise, normal rules apply and majority wins.

Lastly, I just want to thank you all for the lovely comments, the subscribes, and the upvotes. I didn't expect this much love when I decided to post my little SyungDy brainchild as an AFF story! But I don't regret it one bit and I'm so happy that all of you are enjoying this experience with me. I know SyungDy isn't one of the more popular OTPs so I'm very, very grateful for all your support so far. Thank you. Just, thank you all so much for making this a lot of fun for me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message!  ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ I'm happy you all are enjoying my story, and I hope I can count on all of you for your continued support. Thank you once again and stay tuned for more Progressive!

Chapter 10: OMG DUDE

So idk if you still remember me, but you were actually one of the first ppl to talk to me on this site, and I remember you talking about Andy being your ultimate bias, and it’s actually because of you that I got into Shinhwa! Long story short, I didn’t consider myself a SHCJ until recently, but then I started shipping Syungdy like all hell and omg i hate that this ship is so unpopular....

So what I’m trying to say is, I love this story so much, and I really want to see it continued, but if but you don’t have time, I would really like to continue it as a coauthor or smth

Chapter 9: I'm so happy the poll is going in my favor, muhaha, go M rated votes!!
This is so good... the way they just,Hyesung is so, unaware what he does to Andy, and oh my i was dying imagining Andy lying on Hyesung's thighs... feeling those cold veiny legs.. the black prickly hair... oh my... god...
I really, this...
But Hyesung is noticing what Andy is feeling, at least he knows Andy feels something, cause he is being different.. somehow i keep feeling like Hyesung likes him back,... or he knows...

Chapter 5: Oh... My god..
I feel like no one ever shipped Syungdy romantically, and this, this is so freaking amazing!!
I need to stop here and wait till tomorrow to have time to read the rest, which I hate cause oh my god Andy's heart beating, he is slowly falling and i want more!!
I can't wait to see, it will be syungdy right? not Ansyung, I feel like it might be, but Andy seems more like he would want Syungdy, ah I don't know, i feel like Hyesung might have some secret about liking men that Andy doesn't know, I just like Syungdy cause of the aesthetic... Hyesung just looks so amazingly beautiful under someone, arching his back, and Andy has always seemed so manly to me, I mean Hyesung is too...

I am completely off track, this has nothing to do with your story, I'm sorry.

This is seriously amazing, i can't wait to see more, i love how slow it is, so normal and friendly, I love that Andy falls so, normally, and I love how secretive Hyesung is
I mean wow, just this, the way he leans on Andy, I mean only when you take it slow, will it make such an impact on the reader, damn it i need to take note!!

Chapter 9: *screaming into the pillow*
is this the pining that you were talking about? Oh god, despite the fluffy and warm setting, I definitely can feel the angst in the air. The deep longing in Andy's heart which realizes its desire for Hyesung soars high before getting stomped down by Andy's conscience... and Hyesung's words (eventho the lil prince is clueless).

I better gear up for the angst.
Thanks for sharing this fic!
