What happens if a project doesn't meet its goal? It would be great to see the team come together, but sometimes a listing goes up with limited time and the purpose is to get a real push for the author.
However, should the timer run out on a project, then the author / supporters of the project have the opportunity to continue discuss around a re-launch.
Let's say, for example, a book had 12 days left and needed 80 pre-orders to get into Quill. Let's say 4 other authors came on board, helped with cover improvement, blurb improvement, gave feedback on opening chapters. Say 3 more authors came on board and agreed to help with reader updates and tweets. Maybe the project didn't make it, but there's 7 authors who joined the author of said work who got invested, and most likely author of said work will want to try again.
Instead of just re-launching right away, the author can then work with those who came on board the Johnslist thread to develop a re-launch strategy. This could mean behind-the-scenes work on improving plans for the campaign, and active involvement during the re-launch. In addition, having their entry here RIGHT FROM THE START, means more authors can join and get enthusiastic, and the new campaign can be team-driven from day 1 to finish.
