I still believe your model can work, perhaps in different circumstances, with a few "name" authors breaking away from the mainstream (a la Trent Reznor in music) and lending their credibility and appeal to such an imprint. Someone is going to try something similar very soon. And next time, it's going to pay off, big time...
