I pray that Joss doesn't do something like this for firefly, because I'm worried about how in debt I would go to assist in funding a reunion of that series...

I'm not sure that he would go this route. Based on what he's said in interviews, I get the sense that although he loves the Firefly characters as much as us, he DID get a chance to make the movie (Serenity) to wrap it up. VM fans/Rob Thomas didn't get that chance, hence this Kickstarter.

Also with the huge success of Avengers, Joss is going to be busy directing big budget sci-fi/fantasy/awesome movies for a while.

With low budget Shakespeare/awesome movies mixed in between,

e.g. his just-released Much Ado About Nothing, briefly reviewed here (and the trailer's embedded):

(Firefly fans: Nathan Fillion is in this one.

As is Clark Gregg (aka Agent Coulson from The Avengers) and other actors from other Whedon projects).

My biggest fear is that Community will get cancelled and that their fans will turn to Kickstarter in order to get Dan Harmon back on board to get their six seasons and a movie.

He's stated clearly that he's out and done with Community, for the good of the show and his own mental health. And he's on to other projects. That's probably healthier than holding on to your baby, but then Harmon was treated like shit by the production company that owns the IP so it's not a similar situation to Veronica Mars.

I too would bankrupt myself over a firefly kickstarter.
