Original doujinshi works from Comiket?

Hi all. Long time visitor/lurker here. Was wondering about Fakku reaching out to well known artists/doujin circles regarding their own original doujinshi whom may sell at events like Winter/Summer Comiket and seeing if those particular works would also become a part of what gets translated and distributed either as part of the existing subscription service or as an à la carte digital purchase.
I was initially thinking it'd be amazing if Fakku worked to simultaneously publish brand new Winter/Summer Comiket doujins with the Fakku site being the digital distribution point; however, I imagine that wouldn't be possible (or get really messy legally potentially inside and outside of Japan) with existing intellectual properties. So I know that most likely kills that particular idea, but maybe new original stories/characters from the artists/doujin circles create would be neat to see digitally (or physically if the logistics work) when those larger events take place. It'd certainly give one-shot works that may not eventually get published in magazines a bigger shot at a wider audience.
I'd be curious to know what the actual artists/doujin circles think of this kind of distribution method that could directly benefit them financially along with greater exposure. I can see this being a huge undertaking to work individually with various artists and groups on that scale, but Ii'd be cool and unique if Fakku starts to become a part of the Comiket experience as a distributor for those whom couldn't attend.

Yep legally messy for sure. But that's no reason to not support this. Maybe another FAKKU-like *coughs* business could do this...

This sounds like a quite nice idea, actually. We already have a Bosshi original doujin collection published by FAKKU available here (as well as one based on an anime and translated/published by Yuri-ism), so it clearly can be possible.

It would indeed be great if Fakku could get into releasing a steady load of doujins as well. I understand that copyright can make this tricky, but there are plenty of original doujins out there as well to start with.

It looks like they started with 2 Doujinshi released at Comiket 90
We got Super Panpanronpa 1&2 , and I Wanna Know. It's nice that all subscribers are able to read these chapters, and it is even nicer that non-subscribers Can Purchase these Doujins without subscribing but still get to support the artist and read the works.
Hopefully we will get more and more with each passing Comiket.

Very pleased that FAKKU! has begun to release a few Comiket doujins and also made them available to read for subscribers! Would love to see more in the future especially from more circles/artists. I have selfish wish for anything pochi (ã½ã¡), sasamori tomoe (笹森トモエ) and or obmas (ãŠã¶ã¾ã™).
