LG15 FANS TALK BACK!

In response to concerns expressed by many LG15 fans about the nature and difficulty of character interactivity on LG15.com.......

The Creators Say:

"Hey Everyone,

Hope you like the new videos. We wanted to address a concern/complaint that we have seen here on the comment board.

First, we do read every comment and you are all just as important to us as the members of the forum - we do not discriminate

Second, we understand that you are frustrated that the characters do not comment on the comment board. However, there is a very good reason. This comment board is intentionally “out of game.” Here, you can say anything you want about the creative elements of lonelygirl15 - guessing the plot, discussing the acting, critiquing the video quality, and bashing the writing (see, we do read the comment board). It would not make sense if our characters commented in the same place that we comment. Daniel cannot comment in a place where people write about how much they love Yousef’s performance, it just doesn’t fit with the logic.

Therefore, we have created a designated section in the forum where you can talk to the characters in character and “in game.” The characters are there often and you can have detailed conversations with them about their lives. We are sorry that some of you don’t want to go in the forum, but it really isn’t that bad of a place. We hope you will try it out. If you don’t want to go in there, no worries, everything discussed in the “character chat” section will ultimately make its way into the videos.

Thanks for understanding,

Greg"

For links LG15 character interactions use the Talk to.." link on the right hand side of LG15 TODAY. It provides links to character posts on the necro, their myspace and youtube accounts!!!!

Notes:
1) Both Bree and Daniel have previously appeared in LG15 chats which are mostly used for out of game chat.
2) At least one character has previously posted on comments but not recently
3) Madddison Atkins was able to very effectively bridge the OG/IG experience in live chat
4) Many people prefer comments because its not topic driven like the necro and you have a more slow motion feel than live chat which lets fans mulit-task.
5) Fans suggested that the "private transmission statements" concept could be etended to clealy separate character posts from the so called OG comments
6) The post that created the stir came form Daniel on may 22 (http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=364727&highlight=#364727) and involved content that many fans see as critical to understanding and enjoying the video. To be fair to "Daniel" the tread was opened up on May 21 to discuss his future game plan but the thread is burried so deep in the site that many fans do not visit it or a regular basis.

If you have any other ideas just add a comment below!
