Hello,

Did you know the site is funded entirely the users? It depends on your donations to stay free! Please pledge to the patreon, if you can, to keep the good times going! Even just $3 helps!



I figured I would put that first so people don't have to read me ramble on for 10 years to get the point. Anyway, a bit more than two years ago, I asked the community to chip in to help keep the site funded. And it worked! A massive thank you to everyone who chipped in and continues to chip in! The patrons have been amazingly loyal and I do not take that for granted, I really appreciate it.

Now I don't like bothering people with this kind of stuff, so I've just been mentioning the patreon on news posts I was making anyway and not done any fundraising otherwise. However, as our contributions have now dropped below $800 a month, it's probably time to make a peep about it before pledges continue to drop to a level where it spells trouble. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for quit-your-job kind of money, just a bit more of a buffer as the site grows and uses more resources.

So think of this like those annual wikipedia fundraiser thingies. And because the site is funded by people like you, we are not beholden to anyone except the userbase, and features can be developed to benefit the users, not to primarily figure out new ways to squeeze money out of the site.

So if this isn't gonna bankrupt you or anything, please chip in and pledge a few dollars on the patreon. There's not really any real rewards, but in exchange, everyone gets to keep using the site for free, and it's developed with you as the target audience, not nebulous shareholders or big advertisement companies.

You have to be 18 to pledge to the patreon, or get permission from your parents!

Also:
kyo is very ruggedly handsome and i know for a fact that he has been existing on cans of chili that expired a year ago. He puts on a brave face, and claims he likes it, it has marinated for longer and tastes better than normal not-poisonous chili. But the reality is. This is not a good situation. He is so strong and gallant. But he needs your help. Please, help kyo. Don't forget he is ruggedly handsome.

Kyo took my lunch money and said he was going to use it to fund the site. Such a good guy.

please donate to the patreon so i can stop having to do this to nama

Every little bit helps~

I know that there are others like me who don't or can't do digital commerce. Me, for crazy hermit reasons, but others more likely for age or other reasons.
You can do what i did -

When relatives and friends ask what i want for my Birthday, Xmas, Father's Day, et cetera, the first thing on my list is a ComicFury Patreon. I tell them it's a gift i'll use all year long.

Do you have an avenue for accepting one-time donations? I know some, myself included, prefer to donate in lump sums periodically rather than taking on monthly subscriptions.

I'm afraid that currently there is only the patreon. I like it because it automatically handles VAT which can otherwise get a bit messy. However, it is set up in such a way that you can pledge and then cancel it right away, and you will still be charged for the pledge. However, if you're not comfortable with doing that, I totally understand. I did look into ko-fi, but it seems to be basically just like, you have to tell them a paypal account and donations get sent there directly by people, which I was a little iffy on.

Comicfury has allowed me to post a story for 10 years now and through that I've been able to grow as a artist and writer and I plan to post more. It would be wrong of me not to give back.

You have my pledge oh mighty gator!

Hey now, the rewards are sufficient, and fabulous!

Already at my limit of what I can reliably chip-in, unfortunately. Sure hope the contribuions get back up to a good level and beyond though, the site deserves it!

i'm sorry but i had to press the stop bothering me button. if i were able to give I would gladly but funds dont go that far. I do however put #comicfury with every comic tweet.

no worries, I'm not expecting anyone to wear a scarlet guilt trip banner as a punishment, obviously not everyone is in the position to donate!

I pressed stop bothering me because I already sold my hair for comic fury

Strictly FYI and not suggesting that you use every site available, but Ko-Fi now accepts Stripe in addition to PayPal, and Buy Me A Coffee (yes, there are two distinct websites using basically the same catchphrase) supports Stripe, Payoneer, and bank deposit. Both Ko-Fi and BMAC permit recurring payments and one-time payments. I do not know whether either handles VAT as Patreon does, though.

huh, i legitimately thought those were the same thing. someone's gotta sue someone here

I did see the stripe thing, but I kind of figured you would also have to like, do it yourself? Since they say they do not charge any fees (which is obviously the nice part about that). I'll take a look at that though, thank you

Not only does the patreon support the site, you also get to flex these cool banners on forum posts

Well ...if you support CF you'll get those awesome star powers!

my power cause i forgot before

I'm more than happy to chuck what change I got over to the site, its the least I can do
