100-150$ per season for me and that would be doubled with my father

In all honesty, I would drop down $75 for a new season of the show that has captured my imagination in a way I never thought possible. Put me down for $75, no questions asked.

I'd give at least $100 a season for more Firefly. But doesn't FOX still hold the rights for another 6 or 7 years or so, or was that just an urban myth.

I would give $100 in a heart beat!
I would even up that to $200 if that would convince Sci-fi to rectify their mistake and take on this show.
Now, I don't actually know that Sci-fi was given a choice in the original process, so I would not be passin' judgement here.
And of course, any DVDs, Soundtracks, etc would be purchased in triplicate (so's I don't have to keep lending my personal copies to new recruits).

Sci-fi missed Jake 2.0 (I've seen the unaired eps, if they had aired, it'd have had a full season), and Firefly. At least they partly fixed the second mistake...
And yet, Tripping the Rift goes on. It's a cruel, cruel world.

Put me down for $100. Would definitely go higher than that if things got serious.

I'd do $100 per season if the possibility became real.

Bring it back!

Surely there's a Browncoat with expertise in film/TV financing??

Somebody who understands the details of how these things happen? Or a Browncoat who knows someone who knows someone whose second cousin's father-in-law works at a TV production company?

Surely corporations are created all the time to raise money for productions. Isn't that what executive producers do? Does anyone know an executive producer? C'mon...anybody?

I would happily commit to $150 (Australian) per year. I posted a very similar article over at whedonesque.org some weeks ago about pre-financing a show by the fans. Good to see the idea isn't new, and has caught on. :)

Questions (posted my donation earlier):

Wouldn't the logical first step be to take donations towards the publications of a season (or few episodes) of scripts? They could be published under CC liscensing, or given to donators free (and sold to further raise funds), to give us new content that we could afford, while financing Joss' vision further.

In a perfect world, we would be able to fund a five million dollar episode, but this aint that world. Pragmatically, getting a script written is the most satisfying thing I can imagine us really producing.

Sadly, our backs are going to be against the wall, starving for content, for a very long time (aside from a few comics upcoming and a possible novel). If someone really wants to run something, why not be realistic about what we could pull off? We might be able to make it worth Joss' time to invest some more life into the 'verse.

Plus, think of the ZINGERS, those glorious ZINGERS that will be at our finger tips, (course with Wash out i don't know who'll be spoutin em).

Who pulled off the variety add when serenity opened? Care to try and get the ole girl off the ground once more?
