We have some news from across the Gwenin network. Bloggyness, our reflective writing corner, is considering optional ways to engage, and we’d love your input before anything goes live.
We want to be clear: Science Deconvolution itself is not changing. All academic resources, clarity-first tools, and research guides remain fully free and accessible.
What’s Free and Staying Free
- Free-to-use thesis planners, mentoring guides, and clarity-first research tools
- Workshops and proofreading support remain as before
- The lay summary service for academic papers also continues as before
Your core academic support remains unchanged.
Optional Ways to Engage at Bloggyness
- Supporting Readers Tier
- Extra reflective essays and early drafts
- £6/month or £60/year (optional, cancel anytime)
- For readers who want to explore reflective writing more deeply
- “Ask for a Reflection” Micro-Payments
- Submit a question or topic for a tailored reflective response
- Optional payments £3–£25 depending on depth
- Reflections are not academic advice or therapy
Why We’re Considering This
- To keep Bloggyness ad-free and independent
- To offer ways for readers to engage personally if they wish
- To support ongoing reflective writing without impacting free academic resources
Questions for You
We’d love your guidance:
- Would you explore the Supporting Readers tier for reflective content?
- Would you try the Ask for a Reflection option?
- What types of reflections or essays would feel most useful or interesting?
- Would early drafts or behind-the-scenes reflections appeal to you?
- Any concerns about optional payments while keeping free academic resources fully available?
- Are there ways we could make optional tiers feel most valuable to readers like you?
- Is there anything else you’d like to see across Bloggyness or Science Deconvolution?
Your feedback will help shape the future of Bloggyness, ensuring optional tiers are thoughtful, relevant, and respectful of free academic support.
Slowly considered. Carefully written. Always optional.
“In addition, later in February, we’ll be opening the Gwenin Reflective Community, a calm, welcoming space to share reflections and projects, entirely optional to join.”
