Prompter
Someone who provides creativeness and proposals to a creator, usually during a
call for prompts. Regular prompters in an ongoing project can build up
considerable sway.

Sponsor
A person who pays for a specific item to be released. A sponsor covers the whole
price; some projects allow for several cosponsors to split the price. (This is distinct
from general patrons who may donate toward the project as a whole, rather than
individual items)

Swag
The items that are used as perks or promotions as rewards for a project. These may
include bookmarks of a book's cover, copy of the dvd or book and other
merchandise related to the project.

Tip Jar
This is a method by which audiences can donate random amounts of money to a
project that doesn't have set prices, or in addition to set prices for people who wish
to support the project as a whole.
