Subscribed content update/availability
1
Hello, I'm a new user to Fakku (well not new really, I do visit the site sometimes since long ago) and I'm considering to subscribe. However, when I browse through contents of Comic X-EROS #36 (which was released roughly 1 month ago) I found that only about half of the content/chapters of that book was translated.
While I do want to continue subscribe to Fakku, I don't have the funds to do that long-term so I'm a bit worried about the remaining contents of that issue (#36) and the followings not being translated/released before my subscription wears off.
Suppose that I were to subscribe for 1 month right now, and some of remaining chapters of #36 issue were not translated even after that 1 month time:
- Do I get access to the remaining (yet to be translated) releases of that #36 issue later on without additional subscription?
- Or do I have to subscribe again later to access remaining content of that #36 issue if they happen to be updated like 2-3 months late?
There's some interesting releases in upcoming #37 issue too, and I don't know should I play safe and wait until Fakku releases those chapters before starting subscription or not. :(
Oh btw: I know you guys (mainly founders/supporters of Fakku subscriptions/books) got alot of flames from large part of the community by starting this subscription works. For me however, I really appreciated you guy's attempt to bring those content to English uncen format which was not available anywhere, and I understand that the people behind those translation/editing works should be paid for their work. Afterall, we were supposed to pay to get our hands on these (atleast in Japan).

I'm not a FAKKU employee and therefore I can only give you info as I understand it as a fellow user. Right now subscriptions provide access for a duration of time and provide it for all (current and past) subscription content.
Therefore, as far as I know, it's not possible to "buy access" for a specific set of the content... however if there's demand I think Jacob might entertain the notion of selling "magazines" the same way the site sells digital copies of books.
Hope this helped you somewhat and I'm likewise interested in Jacob's response as I can't afford a permanent subscription either at the moment.

>Do I get access to the remaining (yet to be translated) releases of that #36 issue later on without additional subscription?
No, FAKKU's subscription service is a little different from a normal magazine subscription. While subscribed you have access to all magazine content that has been translated, which start with Kairakuten 2015-06 and X-Eros #30. No matter when you subscribe, you have access to everything that has been translated since then and until your subscription expires, you will have access to whatever new chapters appear.
>Or do I have to subscribe again later to access remaining content of that #36 issue if they happen to be updated like 2-3 months late?
This is correct. It seems like you want 100% of current volume content and they might be a little bit behind. The localization staff probably have their hands full but I'm sure everything will get out there eventually. The majority of newer content has been localized and there's also been a slow trickle of backlogged content (if you check out the recent subscription uploads you'll see a number of chapters from older issues), so nothing is being left out intentionally.
>There's some interesting releases in upcoming #37 issue too, and I don't know should I play safe and wait until Fakku releases those chapters before starting subscription or not. :(
There's nothing stopping you from doing this. If that's what you want, then you could definitely do this. In the future we might have options to pay for permanent access to a particular volume or individual chapter but that may or may not happen.

Thank you for your understanding. I don't represent FAKKU but it's frustrating to see community members get upset for all the wrong reasons. I really appreciate that you've given it some thought rather than just get upset because people are asking for money. I hope you'll see for yourself that FAKKU does go the extra mile to produce high quality work. I find it silly that people complain about a really good product. Everything released so far has met a very high standard of quality and I hope that continues.

Thankyou verymuch for your detailed answer :)
It seems that I might put my subscription plan on hold until Fakku releases some specific releases from #36 and #37 issues that I wanted then. I don't mind having the option to "buy" specific chapter from magazine if needs to, because X-Eros and Kairakuten (or all magazines in general) only have some contents that interested me (as you could have guessed, some of those aren't on Fakku update yet).
Regardless, I hope that Fakku's staff keep up their good work to deliver quality content. Working takes time, I can wait as long as they can deliver it well-polished. :)
P.S: How do I "thumbs up"?

How do you get/lose Reputation?You can +/- rep someone when you have 15 posts. To +/- someone, there should be green +/- buttons near the bottom right of each post. You cannot +/- rep yourself.

I guess 15 posts limitation is there to prevent rep abuse, thankyou verymuch :)
