A.J. — "I am very thankful to be a recipient of the fund. Dollars are very expensive in my country, and salaries are low, so this is the only time getting my hands on a fandom zine has been within the realm of possibility for me. And that's thanks to the kind people who donated. Thank you!"
A.M. — "Thank you so much for funding these community copies!!! It is so nice to be able to receive a beautiful compilation of art like this in times where my budget is very tight.

C.P. — "Thank you! Revachol forever!! 💕"
D.C. — "Thank you so much!!! May your pillow always be cold and your view of the stars unobstructed <3"
D.P. — "Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!!! I never thought I'd get to have something like this, especially in a country of never ending economic crises. it's always been a luxury i couldn't take part in, and i'll never forget this kindness."
D.S. — "Just plain thanks from the bottom of my heart will suffice. You are real troopers💖💖"
E.N. — "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was already prepared to not receive a copy because you know.. luck, and it was a calculated possibility and yet you managed to donate enough to cover ALL of the copy. I am amazed and really grateful, this will be my first ever physical copy of a zine (of my favourite game!!) and it is thanks to you all!"
E.P. — "Thank you so much for making this possible !!! o(^o^)o Love this community and lets keep hardcoreing to the mega !!!"
F.Q. — "Thank you very much for keeping Disco Elysium alive, your creations are truly the spiritual successors of this betrayed work of art. Again, thank you, thank you so much, i'm really excited to read the zine."
F.W. — "Thank you so much! You are all HARCOOORRE."
G.B. — "Thank you so much!!!! You’ve made my day 😭"
G.H. — "Thank you so much! I wish I could buy the zine myself but I'm going to have to give up everything to take care of my grandmother and honestly getting this is making me cry. It means so much."
H.B. — "There's a world far far away from everything. In it are the lands, colonies, empires - people of many shapes, colours and identities... broken promises, drunken nights and endless undone memories... But amongst all the rubble are *two* beings, staring at each other. Silence after silence, what breaks this seemingly unending void of silence is a simple gesture. *They* have held their hands out for *them*. A simple act that is perhaps not the equivalent of millions of words spoken. It means so much to him, so much to them, so much to us.
Thank you. Thank you all for this pure, beautiful act of kindness. May the spirit of Disco dance and jive within us, even in the harshest of conditions, every single second.
(Perhaps the writing is shit, i know. I just thought there was no other way to express my gratitude and admiration as good as writing a disco-like thank you paragraph. You all are amazing people, thank you for this special opportunity.)
Stay vigilant, i love you."
