Yeah, it's all pretty extraordinary, honestly. The nearest theatre screening to me is three hours away (*waving at you*) but as a backer I'll be able to stream or download the movie when it comes out, which is amazing.
Also, just watching Kristen Bell's amazement and glee as the Kickstarter unfolded -- I got so much joy out of that. She seemed so honestly flabbergasted and delighted. :-) I get the sense that the VM cast, much like the Firefly cast and the Friday Night Lights cast, became good friends while working on the show -- and that they're pretty psyched about getting to work together again. \o/
Which, okay, I pat them on their little heads at the idea that fans need an official sandbox to play in, but still: it's a solid tip of the hat to the idea that this universe is about more than just them, and it gives fans who want to go that route a chance to make some money for their fanfic, just like him (at least in theory).
Ahahaha yes -- that was exactly my reaction. Dear Rob: we're already making fanworks for each other, thanks! But it's lovely that you're gesturing in the direction of fanworks having their own kind of legitimacy. Which we already knew, but it's still nice to hear.
