Thanks for all your nice comments. I hope you like the new site. I think it’s sweet. We’ll be upgrading the KateModern page as well.

Did you know you can add video responses? Click on “Edit Profile” just beneath the pink box with your username on the control panel just to the right of the latest video.

Enter your YouTube username in the field beneath the fields for your age and sex.

That’s it! Then you can add video responses by clicking “add yours” on the flash widget next to the comments and select the video you want to add. Of course, you need to upload your videos to YouTube first.

I’d love to see your videos! I really like all the characters and storylines you’ve created and with all the emotion surrounding Bree’s death I think it will help to share your feelings with the community.

Greg has been managing the T-Shirt competition. I’m not sure the exact status, but Broken Kid or Greg will know. I’ll ask Greg to post something as soon as he can. I can’t wait to see the winning designs!

You’re welcome, Monte! I feel just as lucky and excited to be part of this too. This past year has been an amazing time for creative people. The internet is such an incredible platform for storytelling.

Hey Sarahboo! Hehehehe, I am a Harry Potter fan but I only read the first few books. I was slagging away in med school and surgery internship so I didn’t have time to read the others… so MEGA SPOILER if I find out the ending

I don’t think there’s much hope but I’m gonna try not to find out how it all turned out.

lonelygirl15 needs to stay independent from KateModern even though they are in the LG15 Universe and there may be some crossing over. Kate is produced and run in London (I’m there/here now), and lonelygirl15 is produced/run in LA. So… they are separate. I think you’ll be excited by lonelygirl15 Season 2 AND you’ll love where KM is headed.

Because the shows are interactive and we do live events we want as many countries as possible to have their own “local” LG15. So… expect more interactivity and live events as we continue to have more and more resources.

Thanks MarysCool, me too.

My dad thought that the death of Little Nell was a good analogy to what we are all going through, both for me as a writer and for everyone who loved this character:

I think he’s right.

Hey Miles-

I think some amazing things came out of 12 in 12 that make me excited about what you guys can do in the future. I really thought Nikki B was going to pied piper fans throughout the day making them apart of the story. Sort of a traveling live audience.

I’m sure you expected extreme reactions regarding Bree’s death. I think for many of us its not that she died but HOW she died. “Bree, like so many pure and fragile things, could not survive in this harsh reality that we must face every day.” As I’ve said in the forum is this the message that we really want to send to all those girls who Bree became a role model for? The Order can be a metaphor for everything in life we can’t control. The way to fight the Order is to endure it, survive it, not giving it the satisfaction of succumbing to it.

I think the only way Bree’s death can mean anything is to acknowledge the way she chose to deal with her situation left her dead and if anyone handles it the way she did they will die. There is no honor in death. That’s a lie we tell ourselves to make us feel better. There is no good way to go because in the end you’re still gone.

I do have to say it’s great that you’re here playing grief counselor. It was needed and appreciated.

Immortal1, lonelygirl15 is indeed an allegory for life. It’s about our struggle as children against our parents, our desire and need to find our own way, and our struggle against the harsh world that attacks us once we leave the safety of childhood. That struggle is filled with days when we win and days when we lose. That’s life. Our heroes are struggling against the Order, a vast, international society that represents the chaos and evil in the world. In that struggle, Bree is a martyr who will hopefully force our characters to make a crucial decision. Do they soldier on or do they give up? We make that decision every day in our lives. I made that decision during my surgery internship, and I make it every day running this show. Bree’s story is one of many. She may have died, but the Resistance will never die. This is a metaphor for life. We may fail sometimes, but we must never give up. You’ve only seen the season finale… the story still continues… the allegory is not complete.

Miles-
“Do they soldier on or do they give up? We make that decision every day in our lives.” And what compels us to soldier on? Hope and Faith (not the TV show.) Hope that tomorrow will turn out a little better than today and faith that it eventually will.

2 lines from the finale really struck me:
-”And I can’t possibly quit on her when there’s just a little bit of hope. How could you ask me to do that? Seriously, I mean, what if it was you?”
-”Whatever we had on our side, it was never gonna be enough - I mean, we’re just a bunch of kids! ”

That last line probably resonated with every fan. It’s that moment where we realize there are things out there bigger than us and no matter what we do, it will never be enough. It’s the same realization Bree came to but she didn’t soldier on, so why should they? Why should we?

And so now you have to restore the hope and faith in your characters. If you do that, you’ll restore it in your fans because we can’t possibly quit when there’s just a little bit of hope.

From Daniel on myspace

I'd like to thank everyone for their best wishes, memories, and prayers for us. The last few days feel like a dream. I wouldn't be able to make it through this without out your support.

Please continue to share your memories and thoughts with us. Pictures, videos, poems, etc. will be posted here in memory of my best friend, Bree.

Bree, we miss you.

Guy and Girls of IRC

During the season finale of LG15 Nikki B showed up in IRC chat. The HoO room quicky filled up and at times there were over 200 people interacting with Nikki in the chat. But who are some of the regulars who hand out in IRC waiting to crack open the next puzzle or track down the next clue? Lets take a look behind the scenes of IRC chat.

Hey Everyone,

I’m coming to you as a fan, not a “Creator.” The reason lonelygirl15 exists is because I’m really just a fan like all of you. Star Wars prequel? I was in line for tickets… and I thought it sucked. Firefly? I’ve seen every episode and I watched Serenity in theaters… twice. Don’t even get me started on Buffy because I can talk for hours.

I’m in London right now running KateModern, but I wanted to spend Friday watching the 12 in 12 on LG15.com and sharing the experience with all of you. I know most of your names by heart and I’ve read most of your posts on the site so I feel like you are all part of my family. We have a few servers running the website now, but unfortunately a combination of massive traffic and a DoS attack crippled us. We are taking steps now to prevent this from happening in the future. I hope you like the new site design!

Regardless, the 12 in 12 was the most singularly amazing event I’ve ever witnessed… as a fan. The hybrid of pre-shot footage, real-world live events, online interactivity, and real-time videos uploaded each hour created something… transcendent. Thankfully we were able to watch the videos on MySpace and follow the interactivity on lg15today and in IRC (yes, that comment on lg15today from “Miles” was from me). How cool was the live webcam showing Nikki B in Santa Monica!?!? Wow! What an amazing medium for storytelling. The internet is so cool! You should thank Amanda for running ALL the interactivity during the 12 in 12. She is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met.

Bree is like my daughter. I named her lonelygirl15. I watched her post her “First Blog.” I read to her and taught her to love science; Richard Feynman and Jared Diamond sit on my bookshelf. I bought her P. Monkey as a gift so she would have something to play with. I taught her how to “make lemonade when life gives you lemons,” and I wouldn’t let her go to parties with Daniel. I loved her and cared for her and I wanted nothing more than for her to be happy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t protect her forever.

Bree is dead. Bree is dead!?!?!?! How could Bree die!?!?!?

Trust me that I have been depressed all weekend. I cried when Bree died. In fact, I’m tearing up right now writing this. I put off having her character die for months and months and months because I loved Bree and I couldn’t imagine lonelygirl15 without her. There is no one on this planet that cares more about Bree than I do. I wrote her words, filmed her actions, and stared at her freeze-frame smile every day for hours and hours as I edited the videos.

Bree was so sweet and innocent. She taught us about her special world and invited us into her life. She made us smile. She made us laugh. Now, she has made us sad. Unfortunately, Bree’s life became increasingly difficult. The Order changed her. They stifled her happiness and ruined her innocence. The Order chased her for months, and there was only so much that Daniel and Jonas could do to protect her. Bree, like so many pure and fragile things, could not survive in this harsh reality that we must face every day.

Life moves forward. We must move forward. The Order is everywhere, and if Bree’s death taught us anything, it is that we cannot allow this tragedy to happen again. The Order must be stopped.

As a fan, I’m frustrated. Why did Bree die to protect Daniel and Jonas and then ask them to help other girls like her? Why should they help? Bree manipulated Jonas. She teased Daniel. What about Sarah and Taylor? Don’t they care about Daniel and Jonas?

Our characters have some very serious decisions to make. Do they listen to Bree or do they follow their own paths? Do they fight the Order or simply throw down their swords?

As a fan I can’t wait to see what happens next. As a Creator I have a huge responsibility to all of you and to the fan inside of me. I hope you’ll join us in the fight against the Order…

The Case of the Postumus Additions

If you look at Bree's MySpace account Bree appears to have posthumously added people to her friends list. This shows up from the "thanks for the ad" comments after she was in fact dead.

How could this happen? We don't know. Perhaps Daniel knew the password to her MySpace account and is now in control of it. I guess we will need to wait for season 2 to find out. Let's just hope that the Creators are not thinking of turning it into a generic LG15 page. Bree's death needs to be respected.

There also appears to be an ad for Season 2:
