Ko-fi's stance on AI At Ko-fi, we’re here to support creators of all kinds - artists, writers, musicians, streamers, and more. Our goal is to provide tools that help you share your work and earn a living on your terms. AI has become an increasingly significant part of the creative world, bringing up questions about ethics, copyright, and fair use. We want to be transparent about where we stand and the steps we've taken to protect creator's rights, while keeping Ko-fi an inclusive service for all types of creativity.

I didn't know @ko-fi.com even allowed genAI on their platform. Disappointing. I would argue that prompters don't own the copyright to anything they generate, so how are they allowed to upload and sell it?

I LOVE the concept of Shadow being a fashion artist designer in that #AfterRiders AU that @bulletstations.bsky.social made. So much so that this came to me in a vision.

A Reach For The Stars zine mod spotlight graphic with deep blue background overlaid by a gray gadget with a bright blue screen that reads: Head Mod Ghost — they/them Hey there, the name's Ghost! I've loved space ever since I was a little kid, re-reading the same book over and over to just get a glimpse at what's possibly out there. As life went on, my interest faded while I had to focus on other things. However, ever since joining the Sonic fandom, my love of space has been stronger than ever; especially after writing Supernova, a 40k-word fic filled to the brim with connections between Sonic the Hedgehog and space. As part of my experience in hosting events, I ran Sonic AU Collision, an AU showdown—which, of course, I included space motifs in. I am so excited for this zine come to life and see what we'll create!!! Mod Experience: Sonic AU Collision (Host), Future With You (Intern), Upcycled Treasure (Spreadsheet Mod) To the right of the gadget are two samples of Ghost’s work: a written excerpt from Supernova, a Sonic fanfiction, and the Reach For The Stars icon featuring Super Sonic in space, surrounded by the Chaos Emeralds

A Reach For The Stars zine mod spotlight graphic with deep blue background overlaid by a gray gadget with a bright blue screen that reads: Spreadsheets Mod Aiden — he/they Hello hello, call me Aiden or Nyx! I'm a digital artist and also a huge nerd for geology and paleontology. I've been apart of zines for a bit over a year now starting with Furhire Press' furry zine. Since then I have also been apart of the Sonic the Hedgehog Big Bang, DotZines MHZine and have hosted the Fossil Fighters Zine. I'm super excited to be the Spreadsheets Mod for this zine and cannot wait to see what we'll all create for it! Mod Experience: Fossil Fighters Zine (Host), STH Big Bang 2026 (Mod) To the right of the gadget are two samples of Aiden’s work. The first is an artwork of 'Hikaru' from The Summer Hikaru Died standing grinning in a dark forest in front of a wooden arch. He's holding his head which has been cut off at the neck, from the cut his insides are spilling out in a large arc across his body. The other is an artwork of Silver the Hedgehog floating among various brightly colored stars. His arms are stretched out above him as a star passes over head, for this brief moment it looks like he is holding it.

A Reach For The Stars zine mod spotlight graphic with deep blue background overlaid by a gray gadget with a bright blue screen that reads: Social Media Mod Cosmic — she/they Hi, I'm Cosmic! A couple years back, I accidentally stepped into the Sonic franchise, and now I am six feet deep in the hyperfixation. Oops? That being said, Sonic and space are my two favorite things of all time, and together is even better! I'm so proud to be able to contribute to this amazing project, and plan to do my very best. Can't wait to Reach For The Stars with you! Mod Experience: Future With You (Intern), Sonic AU August (Host) To the right of the gadget are two samples of Cosmic’s work. One is an artwork depicting a stylized version of Dark Sonic, staring directly at the camera with a tilted head. His quills are fluid-like, and his face is replaced with a spiral galaxy, with a star-like quasar in the center that emits a horizontal beam of light that cuts across the canvas. The other is a written excerpt from “Legend”, a Sonic fanfiction, which reads: When they pull apart, his heart feels lighter. He feels more ready. Shadow studies the illuminated hedgehog intently, memorizing his form to accompany his memory. He looks more alive than he has in years, and that simple fact is worth spending the impending centuries in his absence. Sonic takes a deep breath and whispers a quiet “Sayonara, Shadow.” Then, he takes two running steps back. As Shadow watches, he winks and flips off the very edge of the island, dropping toward the sea. When he flies up, the ocean waters reflect his radiance as it does the moon, painting a dance of light on its surface as Sonic curves in a wide loop, letting out a shout of unbridled joy. He shoots for the sky and brilliant tail trails behind him, like a comet in reverse, returning home to the stars.

A Reach For The Stars zine contributor spotlight graphic with deep blue background overlaid by a gray-colored Miles Electric gadget with a bright blue screen. The screen displays an icon of a close up of Metal Sonic facing right. His one visible eye, inner ears and chest are coloured bright blue, and he has silver earrings. The text reads: Page Artist YellowVixen — he/they Hello, I'm Fenn! I got into Sonic four years ago and have been delighted by the range of the franchise — from the robots to the aliens to the gods. And, of course, the space imagery! I've been a fan of space since I was a child, and stars have always been my special interest! This love culminated in my astrophysics degree, and my dream is to one day work for ESA. But for now, I'll use my knowledge to add some extra flare to my Sonic art To the right of the gadget is a sample of YellowVixen’s artwork: A large cloud, lit yellow and orange with the blue sky behind it. Super Sonic flies to the right, and is the same yellow as the cloud. He looks back at Metal Sonic following him, who is the same blue as the sky.

A Reach For The Stars zine contributor spotlight graphic with deep blue background overlaid by a gray gadget with a bright blue screen displaying an icon of an orange, white, and red anthropomorphic plush fox with antennae and visible stitching. It is slightly hunched with one tail in the foreground. It faces left, but looks to the right with one big eye and sticks out its tongue. the background is yellow with a white cross pattern and border. The text reads: Page Artist plushfaux — it/plush hi! i'm theo plushfaux, number one kitsunami fan. this zine is a perfect cross between two of my favorite things, and i'm thrilled to contribute! ever since i was little i've been enamored by stars and constellations, so i grew up loving space. i even aspired to be an astronomer because of that love, and my mom often took me to observatories to watch the night sky. my obsession for sonic came at a later date– i was an adult when that began. the series means a lot to me. i deeply value all the friends, art, and good memories i've made because of it. that blue hedgehog rocks! <3 To the right of the gadget are two samples of plushfaux’s artwork. The first is a digital drawing of a Sonic OC smiling and pointing at the viewer. He is a pink and tan leopard gecko dressed in black, white, and blue gloves, pants with a buckle, crop top, headband, and orange hoop earrings. The headband and gloves have printed leopard spots. The background is blue with sparkles. The second is two drawings of a green bilby Sonic OC. One drawing is lineless and features the character standing and smiling, leaning onto their knees as they look at the viewer. The second drawing is lined and imposed over the other drawing, featuring the character having stumbled and fallen, looking dizzy and disoriented. Behind the character stands a sketchbook standing on a rainbow surface, and a wall with fairy lights. Sticker stars and a clover are in the foreground.
