I emailed him about the Merchant on Record and about the payment plan. This was his response. I also emailed him about a direct-to-tv movie, and this was his response:

'''"Depends on the animated movie! :)

There are also some other options. Our thought was if this failed, we could instead switch to some original content from the same creators - maybe help them make an animated movie/show of their own independent of the studio system for this community. The problem doing that is that fans want to see these shows, and new stuff, while probably amazing, would still be a substitute.

That being said, its an option, but the message we got is that the community wanted to do this - do it anyway, and kindly show WB that this is attainable and financially attractive for them. If that's no longer the case, we can certainly walk away, we just wanted to be open to what you all wanted to do. But if you're worried about the amount, don't be.

$10M is 100,000 people kicking in an average of $100 (and our $100 packages were going to be really worth it). The average pledge for Veronica Mars was 75, and the average pledge on Kickstarter is 85. We think we can do better by offering better items, but even at 75 that's only 135K people - for a show that regularly averaged 2M+ people per episode. Plus, people might kick in money anyway because its an awesome project. It's not an easy goal, but it is attainable if the fanbase is ready to mobilize and attack it." '''

Take from it what you will.
