One final note before I propose a little something: If Kickstarter is going to work like it needs to, it cannot be limited by size or scope of creator influence (which is already a thing with wibbly-wibbly parameters). But see, the nature of the crowdfunding thing is that it’s funded by… the crowd. I understand your inclination is not to let the popular kids come and swim in your pool. You don’t get to say how big or how small a creator has to be to use it. The bad news is: you don’t get to say what Kickstarter is. Veronica Mars did not come and flip it all on its ear. A smaller Kickstarter project has as much reach as its project creator and its allies can give it. Midlist authors are not stabbed in their beds by bestselling authors (though there was that one time - shame on you, Christopher Moore). Big Twitter accounts don’t eat little Twitter accounts. It’s all horizon, baby. Big blogs don’t eat little blogs.

This isn’t a movie theater with 12 theater bays or a bookstore with only 1000 square feet to fill with shelves and books. The good news is: smaller projects are going to be just fine. T-SHIRTS! WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS? CAN THEY HANDLE IT? EEEEEE. Hell, I’ve seen posts zeroing a laser-like focus on OMG THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FULFILL T-SHIRTS. Soon Kickstarter will have a baseball stadium and open a bank and have an army of drones that will be legally allowed to kill us in our beds if we don’t back the next Tom Cruise project! (As if Veronica Mars were some kind of huge Hollywood bunker-buster bomb instead of a tiny niche WB/UPN/CW television show that got canceled after three seasons and has been been existing in a nether-realm of “want a film but can’t get a film made” for eight years.) HOLY CRAP BIG HOLLYWOOD IS HERE, people cried, their hair on fire, their underpants in a twist, certain that smaller projects would be crushed beneath Kristen Bell’s giant money-stuffed bootheels. Veronica Mars came along and did big bank out of nowhere and there was of course the initial surge of fan-born squee-citement which was then in turn met with the inevitable tsunami-level countersurge of poo-poo-pissy-moany-boo-hoo sounds. Kickstarter is our platform with its own rules. Kickstarter is not your platform with your rules. Kickstarter projects are not sharks - the big projects don’t eat the little projects. Kickstarter does not force anyone to contribute. Kickstarter is not ruined now that Veronica Mars came along.
