Hopefully LG15: TSIY will get enough viewers to migrate over to the LG15 Universe so the creators can get back to business with LG15: TR Season 2.

Fans of lonelygirl15/ LG15: The Resistance have long requested that the creators allow for a much closer integration of their fan creations with the main series. The idea was that this could have been done by creating a “hook” within the main series that fans could play off to create their own stories. This is a request that was consistently ignored by the creators. Fans of course did end up telling their own stories but if one of them came too close to looking like it was part of the main series the creators would “out” the series as “fan fiction” which often killed it in terms of the excitement these fan creations brought to the universe. The argument given by the creators was the they needed to protect their story.
ReplyDeleteNow for LG15: TSIY the creators are allowing creators to tell their own story but it comes at a time where there is no main series to provide a “hook”. Now the creators have indicated that they will provide advice to ensure that the story told is consistent with the LG15 Universe. This is a different model from what the fans had long requested and it remains to be seen if it will work better or worse.
It would have been nice if the creators had listened to the fans a long time ago. There are a lot of very good video series creators within the community and many have been alienated to the extent they now tell their story outside the LG15 Universe. While the creators have long paid lip service to community videos they failed to support and promote them in a way consistent with fan needs. This present initiative is a positive move in may ways but their is also a layer of cynicism because of the history of the situation.
The lessen here to anyone who wants to engage fans is to listen closely to them. To just say you are listening is not enough. Actions that show you understand their concerns is what count. This is a new paradigm for a new World. I am not saying that creators need to jump every time a fan has a good idea because sometimes you have to hold true to your own vision. However if you do not listen and respond, your vision may just die on the vine.
Well said MM!
