I HATE asking for help.  I've been very proud of running my business by myself, with the generosity of my wonderful fans, trying not to ask more than for people to check out my artwork and make a purchase if they like it.  I HAVE had help along the way from some awesome people, but I'm really proud of what I've done by myself.


But now... if you guys have seen my website lately - or lack of a website lately - you'll know a few things.  My site has been down for a week and continues to have major stability issues, because of a hardware failure at the webhost.  They're working to fix the problem, but it's not exactly fixed yet.  It's my only source of income, so this is kind of a pain for me.

AND my computer had a virus, and while the virus is gone (to the point of formatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows), it's still not running the way it used to... partially just because it's four years old and I'm asking it to do Workstation work.  I was hoping to get SFK5 done and get a new computer once it was up for sale, but the work has really bogged down as my computer coughs and groans (and randomly freezes or crashes).  I could revitalize it with some costly repairs, or buy a new computer, but I don't have the money for either right now.

AND, most importantly - my credit card billing company may be dumping all their adult vendors at the end of this month.  I've been looking around for other billing companies that handle adult vendors, but all I've found either ONLY use the monthly subscription billing model, or have HUGE setup fees... or both.  Most online billing companies won't do billing for adult vendors at all.  But in any case, I don't have the money to pay huge setup fees.


So... I need some help.  I've set up some donation options (and a back door to actually get at them since my site is still intermittent at best), if you'd like to be entirely altruistic and support my continued work by making a donation, please use one of the following links, and if you're feeling particularly generous, you can adjust the Qty to make a larger donation:

(EDIT: You can also now PRE-ORDER SFK5 on my site)

[link] - Donation for 5
[link] - Donation for 10
[link] - Donation for 20
[link] - Donation for 50
[link] - Donation for 100
[link] - Donation for 250, and I love you.

Making a purchase of one of my products also helps (especially a higher priced version of Pirate Amnesty, of course).  I know everybody needs money now, so I appreciate any donation or purchase at any price!

These links will only be available for the month of May, since as far as I know my billing company will be canceling my service after that. >_<


Also, I'm considering offering Pre-Order sales on SFK5 (EDIT: this is now a thing, as I said, you can do it on my site), or SFK1 Galaxy Edition, or creating another Pirate Amnesty/Vampire Halloween-like product with no animation and releasing it quickly to raise some additional funds.  Again, these offers will only be available for the month of May as far as I know so far...

If anyone has any advice or suggestions that could help with my project choices, fundraising options, or credit card billing issues, advice can be as valuable as money!  ...please send both.  ^_^'
