Abstract::
"This paper will investigate how Lonelygirl15, the Web show that was launched in the form of vlogs (video blogs) and quickly gave birth to numerous fan-driven side plots, not to mention related alternate reality games (ARGs), exhibits a type of materiality conducive to performative narratives that affords the collaborative development of fiction on Web 2.0 platforms."

I've gotten the honor of getting to know Burcu over the past year. She is an amazing individual and it's been a truly wonderful experience helping her with her research. More importantly, I'm proud to call her a friend.
