I just saw you are wondering maybe ppl started to get bored of AFFA but no, IM STILL SO EXCITED for new chapters and I'm pretty sure other readers feel the same, because I know from their comments we mostly feel the same about chapters lol.

Okay I have to say I'm actually very picky about characterizations in fics but AFFA is really one of my all time college au favs. I love your oblivious Chuuya so dearly, I swear you write him the best, he deserves all love in the world. Love your humor, Tachi best boy ever!! Also that trio never fails to make me laugh aloud.
I have to admit I love fyozais dynamic too, or Fyodor... He's a pain in Chuuya's ass but I wonder if will we ever get to see them as friends or something similar when Dazai/Chuuya finally confess??
Kouyou and Oda... It made me laugh a lot when Kouyou figured out what Dazai is up to, even she and Oda tease him about it. Because of that chapter now I want to know their childhood too... At least please tell me we will see them more in the future because those two idiots definitely need their "parental figures" lol.

I hope that was not unnecessary, just wanted to let you know reading AFFA will never be boring for me, I will always jump out of excitement whenever it gets an update. I love them so much.

Lastly I wanted to ask is there some facts you might want to share about AFFA Chuuya/Dazai or any other character? Or maybe a song you associate about one of them?? You seem like a person who works detailed on their works so I just wanted to ask, sorry if I assumed wrong you don't have to answer ofc, take care :))

Anon, this absolutely made my day?? Like thank you so much this is literally like the absolute sweetest I’m 🥹🖤😭!!! I’m very aware of how lucky I am with all the love and support AFFA always gets, like AFFA readers are genuinely sooo nice and loving, every interaction around this fic always feels really great and I really want to thank not only you, but everyone who reads it and takes the time to show that they care, because I know that type of response is so so so so precious and while I do worry ppl could get bored with the fic, I also know you all give me so much love on it and I am so very grateful for it fr 🖤🖤🖤

This srsly made my day, like I am :D rn heheh so thank you!
I’m gonna try to answer all your questions, but there was a lot so lmk if I miss anything, but!!

About Fyodor and Chuuya being friends, we will def get some development in that are next arc as we (and Chuuya) get to figure Fyodor out more and I’m very excited to share their other interactions with everyone because I have a lot of fun with their dynamic and am hoping you all will too :)

Now about Kouyou and Oda and Dazai and Chuuya’s childhood! AFFA has a lot of backstory and you will def be getting do find all of that out! There’s also a chapter set in the past coming up at one point, but that’s all I’ll say on that for now heheheh

I do have a lot of like little easter eggs and details and stuff for AFFA and I’m always happy yo share them so I’ll give you a few:
AFFAzai is rich, like actually loaded.
Chuuya was originally going to have a septum piercing, but then I changed it to him getting a septum piercing in the story as a plot point and now idk if I’ll have the room to include it, but septum piercing Chuuya was a thing in AFFA :’) Hmmm what else?? Ahh you mentioned liking the Moby Dick coffee shop boys so!! Tachihara was not originally going to be in the fic, but now he’s one of my favorite characters to write and Akutagawa is trans, him and Gin are identical twins :)

Okay, I think that was everything!! I had a lot of fun answering this, thank you so much for giving me this excuse to rant! This made me really happy AND made more excited to keep working on the fic heheheh 🥹🖤
