Looks really promising!I just paid for my subscription, I saw the payment charged on my credit card, but my account still can't access the subscription content.
I tried to subscribe a first time and got a "Fakku is down for maintenance" error, tried again, got a success message, but my account is still not "Gold".
Can you check this?
Thanks!
Same here.
JACOB STEALTH EDIT: Will talk to you over email and get it fixed.

A few questions:
1. Is the subscription service replacing FAKKU books?
2. Is the FAKKU subscription entirely digital or will there be any opportunities to get some releases in print?

1. No. The subscription service is for simul-publishing magazines. Books are typically a collection of works for a particular artist from those magazines in book form. FAKKU Subscription and FAKKU Books are separate things.
2. At this time there are no plans to publish physical versions of the magazines offered in FAKKU Subscriptions.

I was a beta tester, but it was instantaneous more or less, like buying a digital copy of one of their books.Kisuka wrote...
If you did it via BitCoin it can take at max 3~4 minutes due to the confirmation process at the core of the bitcoin protocol.I've done it twice now, both time gotten the "You're subscribed" page, then nothing.
It doesn't seem to be taking any money from my card at least.
Whatever, I'll deal with this tomorrow, it's in the middle of the night over here.

Sent a message to Jacob. waiting for him to get home right now. There's probably something going on with our payment processor. Suddenly a mass amount of transactions coming in, probably triggered some flag.

With all these new chapters coming up we really need those tags back. When are we getting them?

I am seriously considering subscribing as the content looks promising so far. That being said I am curious would there still be free content posted in addition to the subscription material.

"No longer will there be a divide between us. No more barriers. Oh, except for those of you who are priced out of the community by our ridiculous rate."
I mean, $12.95 a month, are you kidding me? Let's get some perspective here on other monthly rates: Netflix is $7.99 a month. HBO costs $14.99. Hell, my entire internet service is around $30.00. You really think the service you offer is worth $12.95 a month?
And yes, I could afford it. But I'm not going to pay it, because the price is exorbitantly high. These days, Fakku is to hentai what Starbucks is to coffee, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in you.

I think it would be great to have a download option for the new content. I like to keep all my content locally in case the website were to go down or a take down happened for the content for one reason or another.

Will the beta testers receive a reward for piloting the program?Most likely yes, we are keeping track of all the beta testers so we can eventually reward them with something (at the very least an achievement).

And will subscribers get the option to read one or more chapters of fakku books (tm) releases to "taste" them before forking over more money?We're planning to do this for everyone, not just subscribers. Hopefully before the end of the year we'll have a system in place that will rotate free chapters or previews from the books.

Are there future plans to print tanks from artists after enough chapters have been released in the subscribed issues Fakku will be translating?Definitely! And with this service there will be a lot of overlap, meaning there will come a time when we publish a book that we've already translated chapters for via the subscription, which will make book publishing a little faster.

Any chance we might be able to see more sketch art or notes and comments from artists like what Pyon-Kti and Bosshi have gifted to us? Those really hit home that this is affecting more than us, but the artists as well. Also, how can they come here to see their work and the comments? I thought Fakku was blocked in Japan.There will most definitely be more of this. We are currently working on some cool stuff with ReDrop, Namonashi, Utu, and ShindoL.

I immediately subbed. Over the years I've read your site, and going legit will only help bring more to the West. To those complaining that it's not free, keep in mind that there are people out there putting in effort to make content. Effort that is not compensated is just not moral. I'm glad that I can support the artists, especially as they spread out.

Quick question.
For the free user, Will you be releasing the new Doujinshi a week later or something of that caliber or no?

Going to subscribe either today or tomorrow but I have a few questions and I do apologize if these have been answered before hand. I did go check through the previous posts to make sure I wouldn't, hopefully, repost an answered question -
1. If you unsubscribe at a later date, does this mean all releases that came about during your subscription would be lost as well?
2. Are we going to be able to download these digital copies just like the Fakku books?
3. Will this subscription fee in the near future possibly drop?
4. If we are subscribed, we won't have to pay for any additional fees? Is it a flat 12.50 USD?

Speaking of trying it, any thoughts on 1 or 2 week trials for this service?Not for a while, but we'll definitely try to get trials added in the future.

Do you think you'll eventually be able to also publish from Shitsurakuten and Kairakuten Beast as well. A lot of great artists that publish there as well.I fully expect to expand into more magazines, including Shitsurakuten and BEAST.
