Dear community,

Special Fish needs your support now.

For the entire month of February, I'm asking the community to help keep Special Fish running. I run this site entirely on my own as a working artist, living off my work.

Special Fish depends on users like you for hosting, maintenance, and keeping the site running. Every user costs the site money. If you use Special Fish regularly or just don't want to see it go away, please consider supporting it. A yearly contribution of $40 is suggested (that comes out to $3.33 per month). Supporters pay for users who don't have the means to support the site.

Please consider donating:

Become a regular subscriber on our Patreon → Make a one-time donation with Stripe (USD) → Make a one-time donation with Stripe (EUR) → Donate with PayPal →

This message is temporary and will be removed at the end of February. Thank you for reading :)
