I can honestly say I've had people ask about the ways they may be able to support the site. I have a few different ways:
Paypal: There is a link at the top of the main page. I do not know if they will let you hide your name, but all I use that for is to properly address you when I thank you. Paypal is also how I process read-ahead service when I produce a new serial, and a reader wants to read it all at once rather than wait for it to post week by week. The stories will always be free, I just give those that choose to the ability to read it first or ahead of the regular posting schedule.
Patreon: Also posted to the main page. I don't know if they let you hide who you are, but again I don't use it for anything. Currently the best thing you can get from me through Patreon is reading SS stories as soon as I have them ready. Typically the post a week or two later on the site. Again, all work will post for free eventually.
Amazon Wish List: This is a new thing. I think all you need is an email. Basically I made a list of things I like, but that I likely wouldn't buy for myself. If you see something, it's another option. You can access it here.
I don't really have other methods - maintaining a PO Box for a check or money order would be entirely counterproductive from a cost standpoint. I understand that adding a credit card to something, where someone may see it on your bill is an issue. I just don't have a solid way to address it.

Amazon Wish List seems to only deliver to the purchaser. Am I missing something?

I'll have to look into it - perhaps there is some setting or something I'm missing. EDIT - It may be fixed.

I'll check it out as soon as I finish my quest for a thermometer. Or maybe that should be "IF". Even Amazon is sold out.

So I came down with a nice spring cold last Wednesday night and am just getting over it. And I got a surprise Amazon delivery - thank you! These are SO cool!

For "reasons" I'm wanting to help anonymously.
Last time I did this a couple years ago I was able to use a Visa gift card to donate via PayPal, and it worked. I used PayPal because Patreon did not work with the prepaid gift card (the charges kept being rejected).
I went ahead and bought another Visa gift card with cash to send you and 2 other hosting sites a donation. Only trouble is that PayPal has changed and is now demanding a cellphone number to send me a code via text message before they'll allow me to donate. I'm not willing to us my cellphone number on PayPal, so I'm stumped.
The prepaid card worked for a Nifty donation today but I suspect their credit card acceptance set-up would be too expensive for you to use.
I'll check back here in a few days to see if anyone has ideas to share.
Thank you so much for your work (your website and your writing)!

Please don't misunderstand - don't go through extraordinary means and of course don't risk it if you're not safe. I hope there are some kids reading, and for them it' snot even a possibility - I don't expect everyone to do so.
