[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 7853570, member: 27897"] Based on the information I got by sitting in on a discussion prior to its launch, it sort of fits what you're talking about (Kickstarter TV). It's a co-op between a bunch of indie show and web series producers; Zombie Orpheus Entertainment ("The Gamers", "JourneyQuest"...), The Forge Studios ("The Fellows Hip", "Rangers"...), Arrowstorm Entertainment ("Mythica", "The Outpost" on CW) and many others. It's a streaming site, with a monthly subscription charge, but they offer many of the production houses' back catalogues for free viewing. the new stuff is behind paywall for a while, then later joins the free stuff. They're currently using Kickstarter for much of the content, but apparently the eventual intent is to also create their own content specific crowd funding service. At least that was in the panel discussion I sat in on. There's an area on thefantasy.network website where you can vote for what you want to be made next, by signing up for it with your email address. Given that the content producers' back catalogues are available to be watched you'll have a pretty good idea if you'll like what's coming next, and (ideally) the shows get paid for up-front with subscriptions, and through the specific crowd funding for the productions.
