I can see we need a new video- only 9 pages here. Maybe we will have another that takes forever to load so we can have another party like the one we had while waiting for Gemma!!!!!!!!!


Seriously... I want to see a Daniel vid. I think the creators are creating a monster: we're all getting kind of frustrated with the pace of the story, so we need a faster delivery system/pace of videos to take up the slack.

With three "characters", they should be able to step-up the video production to at least one a day. Wink


If they bumped them up to one a day, I would never get anything done. Yall would end up watching me in that TV show Intervention.

As we ponder whether Bree's parents are setting her/Daniel up, I have a question - has there been any big discusson on whether her parents watch her videos? Bree and Daniel post as if no one who they are keeping secrets from could possibly find them.

But Gemma talked matter-of-fact-ly about her mother reading her diary, and that got me wondering, maybe Bree's parents do watch her videos and haven't asked her to stop because it's a useful form of "reconaissance" for them? Lucy obviously has a computer. Are we all overlooking a big, gaping hole - that the "bad guys" of this story have all the same pieces that we do?

I came to lg15 after hearing of it in teh news, so I never had the "is she real" experience, but even knowing it's a story, I always thought the characters were awfully naive about how popular their videos are.


I think the operating fiction of this story is: no one sees the videos unless he or she says so (ref Gemma). It's a necessary fiction, because otherwise Bree and Daniel wouldn't post videos, they would just talk on the phone, and the whole show falls apart. It's also not too unrealistic: go talk to a random person over 30 yrs old - chances are they've never seen a LG15 video.

The operating fiction of course includes complete deliberate ignorance that it IS a fiction. So Bree has no idea that Jessica Rose appeared on Jay Leno, and never will.

I don't know about that. I am 40 and most people my age where I live know who LG15 is and are avid watchers. It's just that most of them don't post, just watch.

I'm over 40 and also came to lg15 via the news. When I mention lg15 to people I know (of whatever age), they just look at me blankly.

It gets embarrassing. Crying or Very sad

Well, two days ago, Bree said she'd be posting her new video tomorrow, which is now yesterday and there is no new video.
Methinks something bad must've happened...

She doesn't say she will be posting a new video tomorrow. She says Daniel is coming over and she promised she won't let him read magazines in her video.

So, she implies they will make a video, but only comes out and says that Daniel is coming over tomorrow.

I watched the vid again, and you are correct! (I just hate it when that happens)
Just the same, I think some misfortune has taken place...

Just chiming in on the age thing: I'm 36 and found lonelygirl while browsing youtube. It was the day that the news broke that it was a "fake". Talk about a rollercoaster! In one day I went through finding this cute girl, strolling through all her videos for hours, and then stumbling across posts that she was a fake. Of course by then, I was hooked!

But I do think that many parents are not watching their children's videos on youtube. You have to assume that Bree's are not watching, or they would have put an end to Bree and Daniel long ago, not to mention turning DB in for B&E.

When kids are homeschooled these days, most of their lessons are done on a computer. Bree's parents may just trust her not to go anywhere on the internet that is harmful. But for the sake of the story, if her parents watched the video's, it wouldn't be much of a story.

All our home computers are networked and we have a security system to where I can log on to my computer and watch what is going on my kids computers, I can even take control of their mouse from my room. I have had to block alot of sites from them denying them access- like the time my then 15 year old son downloaded so much porn, it crashed his hard drive.

I guess what I am trying to say, either her parent's trust her with her computer or it is just a matter of being part of the storyline.

I doubt that Bree's parents know what she's doing online. I don't remember what video it is, but one day her dad walked in and Bree mentions to the camera after he has left "Wow, that was close, good thing my dad doesn't know what a webcam looks like / is".

I doubt that if her dad doesn't recognize or know a webcam by sight, he would be sophisticated enough with a computer to track her habits online.

I am the wife, hence the screenname OmegaWOMAN, and since my husband is gone 3 weeks a month and never uses my son's computer, and I know it wasn't me................ oh wait, maybe it was my 5 year old daughter.

And make sure you're quoting the right people, lol! I'm also a girl and nobody in my house has crashed the computer due to our porn.

I'm much more careful with my porn downloading! Wink

Moving away from porn... Razz

Weren't Bree and Daniel packing for a trip (the caption in the LGPedia jokingly says "Mexico")? How come she's home all of a sudden?
