If I saw a fund, that had Joss Whedon's blessing, I could make room for $100_USD a month.
And don't be worried about Paramount shooting down a save-the-Enterprise fund, FOX doesn't own the firefly IP, and I dare them to pretend to give a rip about the show now. The response would be, unfavorable. Unfavorable like threatening the very lives of Tycho and Gabe over at Penny Arcade.
Hell! I could get my pizza delivery customers in on it. Either get the money from them or point them in the right direction!
Just, please, dear God, no scumbag PayPal handling the operations. Have you read their clause for account handling? They can for any reason and for any amount of time short of indefinite, seize the money. Basically the longer the money sits in the account waiting for Whedon and company to take it, the juicier a potential technical problem becomes on PayPal's end. They've done it to a few New Orleans/Katrina relief funds, they've done it to the Anime Corner Store - you basically forfeit all rights to any money you give them, and if there's a dispute, historically your chances of getting ... 60% of your money out of the account are a housecat's chance on a Reaver vessel. The class-action lawsuit against PayPal is still in effect for Pete's sake. Don't do that!
Maybe some Swiss bank account that would build up with outrageous savings interest that everyone had a wiring number for (wiring as in one-way transfer of funds). Setting up with a real bank would make easier automated withdrawals from checking - $60 for aDSL, electricity, water, $50 for the Keep us Flying Fund ....
I'm serious about this. No more 'mock pledges'. C'mon, $50_USD a season? $100_USD a season? Didn't someone put a 2-million-dollar pricetag on a single episode? Make known a real fund, a real account that people could donate to, preferably in a real bank; make it known to all ships, and it would cost the supposed millions of firefly fans out there less than a US-dollar an episode.
The only people who don't like the series are those who haven't seen it. Can anyone get ahold of people?

Alright, tell me this is really going to happen and I really will give the money, I could and would give 100 - 200 dollars a month, but I am not willing to start throwing money away until I get some kinda information that this is going to happen. But yea about 100 - 200$ a month.
And I would have to be giving the money direct to Joss and his company I am not dumb enough to send money to some random guy.

I would pledge £50 per season, so about $80 in foreign money ;)

I would give $250 and the left kidney of a FOX network exec for another season or five.

I'd give 400$ for a season (I don't need to have a PS3 :P).

Hmmm... how about 100 CDN per season. See - this is the way they should determine what gets on the air... cause i bet no one would give that much to see the Gilmore Girls each season (can you tell I think that show is craptastic?)

I will donate $100 to whatever cause will help to get either another FF season started, to buy the rights from FOX, or to get another BDM into our theatres ASAP. My only demand is for the same crew to be a part of this effort, because they are what make Serenity fly. Along with Joss and his creative writing crew. I will also pledge $100 a year in this effort for the next 3 years. These are some very talented actors & writers, as you all well know, and can't be blamed for taking new & profitable jobs as the powers that be let Serenity & it's crew crash & burn. I am a home-school mom--this is the best we (the family) can do before I go back to work again.
You guys know it takes MILLIONS to get all of this done. Perhaps if we could find a director that is a believer in our BDM or some high up exec.--someone with the money to really pack a punch in getting the powers that be to pick their heads up--to get the ball rolling with some excellent marketing of the movie or series, well then--that seems like it would make more of a difference. This pledge would help push it through--however, I don't think they'd take our monies. That could have extensive legal issues, I'm thinking, with our sue happy society being involved. To their way of thinking, I'm sure. Either way, you can bet on my donations anyway--let's just DO SOMETHING...
Cheers, my FF friends!

Easily I would pay a $100 for more Firefly.
Whatever it takes to get Serenity flying again.
