A field bestiary of the Salt Marsh
An illustrated field bestiary of the Salt Marsh: eleven plates and a map with field notes. Milestone one was delivered and paid; milestone two was missed, the project stalled, and the remaining escrow was refunded to the patrons who stayed. The plates remain public and the quest is open to fork.
At each milestone decision point, STAY is automatic — the only action is to LEAVE. The leave calculator shows the exact amount returned before you act.
Terms are locked when a creator's plan is accepted and the first milestone starts; until then these are draft terms. No platform fee is taken.

Bonus milestones (opt-in)
A bonus is an extra deliverable beside the frozen main plan. Only patrons who opt in individually take part; nothing in the claim contract changes. If it is delivered and settles, the creator is paid from the remaining pool of opted-in patrons, never more than the hard cap or the pool itself.
No bonus milestone yet.
Main-plan link: project page · bonus is opt-in and does not mutate the frozen claim; settled bonuses are recorded on the receipt.
Project health predictions
Backers can record a private prediction. Results are shown only as cohorts at or above 10 responses — never per person, never as a reputation score.
The cohort is below the 10-response threshold, so aggregates are hidden to protect individual answers.

Fork lineage
A fork is a new proposal with fresh funding; it links to its parent and never moves money or content. The graph shows the whole generation chain.
