(1) Is IFR recognized by Michelle? IFR is not in any way associated with Michelle's management. It is run by voluntary fans as a bridge for fans towards Michelle. The set-up of this club was not initiated by Michelle, but Michelle has been informed and is aware of the existence of IFR for her overseas fans.
(2) Is there any fee for IFR? No, all fans can join IFR for FREE.
(3) When can / Why can't I register for IFR? You can register for IFR anytime. You will receive a confirmation email (with your Ref ID) upon receipt of your registration (usually within 48 hours of registration). However, your name (and IFR ID) will only be published on the IFR members' list on the next publication (every 6 months) of IFR members if your registration is accepted. You will be notified of this date through email.
(4) What is the difference between Ref ID and IFR ID?
Ref ID: This number is your identification for reference to your application BEFORE your application is approved. Using this Ref ID indicates you are not officially a member YET, but your application is confirmed to be received and is being processed.
When you register for IFR, you will receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours of registration. This is your Ref ID, which can be used for any activity participation until you've gotten your formal IFR Membership No. If your application is rejected, your Ref ID will no longer be usable.
IFR ID: When your name is published in the IFR list, you will be assigned an individual IFR ID. All members with IFR ID are already confirmed an IFR member**. Any activity in future will be using this no. instead of your Ref ID (which will no longer be valid).
(5) What privileges will I get? As much as we promote equality in MYR, some activities restricts the number of participants to a very limited number. IFR members will be privileged and prioritized in any activities as such. However, you are to respond by the specified due (default: 3 days), otherwise your reserved slot will be opened to other interested members.
(6) Do I need to renew my membership? IFR membership is for life. Privileged IFR membership will be prompted / reviewed for renewal annually. Limited memberships will be eliminated during year end clearance if candidates do not respond to MYR's request.
(7) Can I apply for Privileged IFR? Privileged IFR memberships are limited to contributors and staffs of MYR only. However, if there are less than 20 Privileged IFR, we will open this membership to regular IFR who applied for them - selected according to their participation / activeness on MYR site & forum.
(8) How do I know if I qualify for Privileged IFR? Qualification includes:
If you've ever submitted any English article that is published and archived on our site within the past one year. If you're an author of the fan fiction section that we invited. If you've any contributions to make e.g. graphics / videos / articles.
