For the first time in history, I am making guidelines for reading one of my stories.

Naisip ko lang na baka kailanganin kasi may mga part ng story na ito na baka maguluhan 'yung iba. So heto, ika-clarify ko na lang. I might update this guidelines kung may madadagdag man na pwedeng makatulong para madali ninyong mabasa itong Peak.

1. Assume that all the Tagalog dialogues were spoken in Russian

-- May mga conversation ang characters na nakasulat sa wikang Pilipino/Tagalog. Ayoko naman kasi maging redundant by writing something like this:

"I can't see the house," Sloven squinted. "Natatakpan ng hamog ang paligid," dugtong nito sa wikang Russian.

Nang masalubong ang nag-aalalang tingin ng mga kasamahan, napabuntong-hininga na lang siya at napilitang magdesisyon para sa mga ito.

"Sige, tumuloy pa rin tayo. Pero mag-iingat kayo," anito sa wikang Russian.

-- Those are the reasons why I am requesting everyone to assume na Russian 'yung mga Tagalog na dialogues. Just in case na may magsalita man ng Tagalog sa novel na ito na character, I will mention it in the narration. None of them are Filipinos anyway, so wala tayo masyadong character na magta-Tagalog (Don't worry, so far, isa pa lang naman ang instances nito.)

2. Iwasan natin 'yung bastos na terms.

-- I know my genre is erotica (actually, nagdadalawang-isip na ako ngayon kung erotica ba ang genre ko o sexy romance?) but for the sake of other readers who might be uncomfortable and for a little decency, iwasan natin yung mga bastos na sexual terms sa comments section. Ipaubaya niyo na po sa akin iyon HAHAHA XD charot! But seriously, iwasan po natin. Ako nga eh, namimili rin ako ng terms na gagamitin sa bed scenes, kasi kahit erotic yung eksena, kahit papaano, I want to make it a little decent for the sake of art.

P.S. This applies not just to this story, but to ALL of my stories.

3. Schedule of updates.

-- I asked everyone in ANA'S RED ROOM (My FB group page), posted on the Message board, asked in A Diary 2018, asked in IG and made a poll in Twitter kung ano ang mas bet ninyong update schedule:

A. Araw-araw ang UD pero 1 to 2 chapters lang per day

B. Once a week lang ang UD (min. of 5 chapters)

And you chose letter: A - Everyday UD (1 to 2 chapters - Monday to Friday)

Ito ang breakdown ng votes:

* IG 

A = 1 vote

B = 2 votes

[TOTAL of 3 VOTES]

* Twitter 

A = 67% ( 4 votes)

B = 33% (2 votes)

[TOTAL of 6 VOTES]

* ANA'S RED ROOM (FB GROUP)

A = 47 votes

B = 8 votes (7 in poll + 1 in comments section / di kasi makaclick ng vote sa poll but commented)

[TOTAL of 55 VOTES]

*Wattpad 

A = 6 votes

B = 8 votes

[ TOTAL of 14 VOTES ]

OVERALL FINAL TALLY:

A = 58 votes

B = 20 votes

[ TOTAL of 78 VOTES]

Therefore, ang magiging schedule ng updates natin ay Monday to Friday, 1 to 2 chapters per day at 8 PM. 

Note: Pwede itong mabago kapag next book na sa AOE series.

4. Cultural Differences

-- As much as possible, I wanted this book to be true to its theme. And since we have Russian leads... the characteristics, the culture and the customs will all be raw Russian ;) Some may be our stereotype point of view about Russians, some may be not. Mostly are based on internet research anyways, so please bear with me if you disagree with some and feel free lang na mag-comment sa akin, about it. I am open to constructive criticisms anyway. Along the chapters, I will note some Russian culture that influenced a scene, para kahit papaano nagkakaroon tayo ng insight kung bakit ganoon umakto yung characters.

5. Enjoy Reading!

-- I always say this to you my dear readers, enjoy reading. And it has two meanings. ;)

One is, I hope you will enjoy the story. Two is, read what you enjoy. If you are not enjoying the story then leave a comment/suggestion/reaction sa comments section <3 feel free to do so, open naman kasi ako sa ganoon. At the same time, don't force yourself to read if it doesn't suit your taste. All I ever wanted is to write stories that you will enjoy.

P.S. Applicable din ito sa lahat ng stories ko hehehe ;) <3

That's all for know. May these guide you accordingly!

Maraming salamat, mga dear and God bless! ;* <3 <3

Love,

ANA xoxo
