LG15 Spin-offs

2007-05-10T00:06:55Z

216.246.245.235:

In their post on November 24th, 2006 on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum lonelygirl15 message forum], the [[the Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] explained the various ways that viewers could interact with their story. Along with viewers' ability to use the official forum to discuss the plot and characters with each other and post questions, comments and suggestions to the characters via the character interaction section of the forum, the Creators emboldened fans to "[c]reate your own characters and storylines within the [[Breeniverse]]." The post goes on to explain that once fans create such videos, this work can be submitted "as 'Video Comments' to a video we produce." Fans were encouraged to "Give [[Bree]] or [[Daniel]] advice. Create your own story (like [[LordGreystoke422]]) or make parody videos (like [[LonesomeOctober]])...you are only limited by your creativity." Many fans took up this challenge and began creating their own response videos. These fan-created videos are diverse in content, genre and production values.

Members of the official forum were given a section in which to discuss these fan-created works. The comments about these fan creations range from praise to criticism to lengthy discussions to occasional speculation about whether or not a video response is connected to the official story. One example of such speculation surrounding an official connection to the lg15 story has revolved around the video responses of [[Nikki Bower]], whose investigative report videos have been set in many of the same locations as [[canon]] videos. This speculation could be due to the fact that two official characters, [[Gemma]] and [[Jonas]], were introduced to the audience in videoblogs under the guise of fan responses. Once Gemma and Jonas were acknowledged by Bree in her videoblog, these two characters were understood to be an official part of the Breeniverse. Speculation about other videos revolved around the fan spin-off [[OpAphid]], which became the official [[Alternate Reality Game| ARG]] of the lonelygirl15 series. OpAphid is unique in the fact that it was not created by the lg15 production team, but was rather incorporated into the series. According to a post made on November 24th, 2006 on the official forum, the Creators stated that OpAphid "was a 100% fan created ARG. We liked it so much that we decided to contact the creator and make it the official LG15 ARG."

In this November 24th post, the Creators continue with the following statements: "We can't wait to see what other characters and storylines you guys come up with. Your creativity and passion is truly amazing." Although the producers of the lonelygirl15 saga encourage fan-created materials, they are careful not respond to, comment on, or endorse these videos in any way. Fan creations can be uploaded to users' personal [[Revver]] accounts, and can appear on the main page of the [http://lonelygirl15.com Tribute to Lonelygirl15 site] in a column next to the most recent lonelygirl15 video. Although referred to as "Fan Creations and Spin-offs" on the official forum, they are sometimes referred to by some viewers as {{wikipedia|Fan_fiction| Fan Fiction}}. This genre of fan-created video fiction is still developing and has yet to be named or specifically defined within the lexicon of fan-created endeavors.

===The Battle That Started It All===
**Actually, the first battle was on the video "Back at Bree's" and occured during the night. Unfortunately, the next day, there was still no new video. But the LG15 page was intact and safe, thanks to the fight the night before. Cloud_ax, mary, and mikel888 fought bravely.**

It all started with an attack on the video “Breaking And Entering”

* Sydney discovers the link between LonelyGirl15 and 7-Eleven. Which starts a phenomenon almost as big as LonelyGirl15 itself: http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=91&play=1#comment-9112 X, X, X
<pre> Ive figured it out!!!!

7:11!!!
OBVIOUSLY they want us to go to 7-11 and try the new wild cherry fanta slurpee
:-D
i think ill go get one…and grab a lotto ticket while im there (if i win a
million for the numbers 7-10-7-12-9-06 i will be forever grateful creators!) </pre>
* Joe's story of what happened to the 14 LonelyGirls before Jessica Rose: http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=118&play=1#comment-18556 X, X, X, X
<pre>The reason why it’s LG15 is because the creators actually had 14
girls before Jessica. Here’s what happened to the first 14.

LonelyGirl: Was drinking an Orange Slurpee before filming the first scene.
Some of the Slurpee spilled on the floor. In the middle of filming she
slips on the Slurpee and breaks her neck.

LonelyGirl2: The creators get into an argument about whether it should be
LG1 or LG2. Miles thinks it should be LG2, because it’s the second one.
Mesh thinks it should be LG1 because this is the first one with a number,
and 1 comes before 2. Greg thinks they should use LG101206. There is a lot
of shouting and screaming, and then the pushing starts. The camera gets
knocked on the ground and we only see the current LG fall and break her
neck. No one knows who pushed her.

LonelyGirl3: After settling their argument about how to number LonelyGirl,
Miles wins in a three-way competition of squirrels, nut, man. The current
girl leaves because she doesn’t want to work for a bunch of guys who make
decisions based on squirrels, nut, man.

LonelyGirl4: Dies when the boom mic falls on her head and breaks her neck.

LonelyGirl5: Leaves in the middle of filming when she gets a call from her
agent about an audition for a movie starring opposite Brad Pitt.

LonelyGirl6: Dies when she spills an Orange Slurpee on the keyboard and
electrocutes herself. The Creators no longer allow Orange Slurpees on the
set.

LonelyGirl7: The creators decide to film outside. This was a mistake; LG7
gets hit by a car, the driver was drinking. He was drinking an Orange
Slurpee.

LonelyGirl8: They still try to film outside. They film a scene on a
mountain trail. LG8 is not too bright and could not concentrate on keeping
eye contact with the camera and watching where she is going. She walks off
the trail, falls down a cliff and breaks her neck.

LonelyGirl9: They go back indoors. LG9 dies when she lights the candles
next to Aleister Crowley, knocks over one of the candle, starts a fire and
gets killed when Mile, Mesh, and Greg run out of the room and close and
lock the door behind them. They explain to the fire department that they
closed the door to keep the fire from spreading and forgot about the girl
inside. They had no explanation for locking the door.

LonelyGirl10: They go back to filming outside while the room is being
repainted. LG10 gets struck by lightning during filming. The creators stop
filming until the room is repainted.

LonelyGirl11: The creators discover that LG11 used to do porn. They don’t
want to associate this with porn so they fire her. Miles was against this
but conceded since he won the argument over the numbering.

LonelyGirl12: This incident is still under litigation and all partied have
been put under a gag order by the presiding judge.

LonelyGirl13: Skipped this number. The Creators are superstitious.

LonelyGirl14: Let’s just say someone made the mistake of bringing an
Orange Slurpee to the set. </pre>
*Gemmas flatmate's [[LonelyCrack]]-play: X,X,X,X,X
<pre>How my boyfriends movie would look if he made it for YOUTUBE:

Scene 1: Gemmas flatmate and boyfriend and two kids are
sitting in Pizza Hut waiting to be served.
GF is scowering the menu.

Boyf: Er.. what are you doing?
GF: I’m seeing if they have any oranges in the ingredients..
Boyf: Oranges..ON PIZZA??
GF: You cant be too careful!
(Man at next table talking to waitress)
Man: And I’ll have a large Orange Juice…
GF: (standing up and pointing) WATCHER!!!!

Scene 2. Boyf arrives home from work to find kids cramming
over tons of paper at desk

Boyf: Hi kids. Lots of homework again?
Kid 1: Nope
Boyf: well whats all this then? (picks up reams of paper)
Kid 2: Mummy got another anagram …
apparantly theres a ghost in Kansas and...
Boyf: GF!!!!!!!!

Scene 3. Boyfs boss and wife have come over for Xmas drinks.
They stand round the tree, drinks in hand when from acroos the room
they hear a shout.

GF: CHARGE!!!!!!!!!

GF runs through the room dressed in home made armour
(a colindar for a helmet, cheese grater for shield, ladel for sword)
she exits through opposite door.

Boyf: ahem… er it appears General Firstsayer has had another call to arms… </pre>

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T23:17:23Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

== May 2006 ==
=== May 24th ===
Bree posts the video [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]].
=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

== June 2006 ==

Daniel graduates from high school; Bree is not allowed to attend his graduation party.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 9th ===
Bree posts the video [[Proving Science Wrong!]]
=== July 12th ===
Bree and Daniel finally go hiking together.
=== July 13th ===
Bree posts the video [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!]]

=== July 16th ===

=== July 18th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Girl Problems...]] and declares he's not going to talk to Bree for a while.
=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===
Bree posts the video [[My Lazy Eye (and P. Monkey gets Funky!)]].
=== July 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]].
=== July 29th ===
Bree's dad nearly catches her making a blog entry. He takes Daniel aside for a personal talk in which he asks him for a favor which Daniel denies.

Bree posts the video [[The Tolstoy Principle (and Dad "talks" to Daniel)]].
== August 2006 ==
=== August 3rd ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===
Bree asks Daniel what he talked to her dad about. Daniel makes Bree upset by trying to light some candles in her room.
Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

=== August 8th ===
Daniel posts the video [[What Bree's Dad Said...]]
=== August 10th ===
Bree posts the video [[Me, Religion, and Daniel :(]].
=== August 15th ===
Daniel and Bree get in a fight about Bree's religion and Daniel's disrespect of it. They don't talk to each other for over a week after this fight.

Bree posts the video [[I Probably Shouldn't Post This...]]
=== August 18th ===
Bree posts the video [[Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!]]
=== August 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[A Peace Offering (and P. Monkey Boogies)]].
=== August 24th ===
Daniel posts the video [[To Hell With Bree's Dad (yeah!)]].

Daniel attends Bree's play and they go on a date.
=== August 25th ===
Bree posts the video [[I'm Really, Really, Really Excited!]]
=== August 28th ===
Daniel takes Bree swimming in the San Gabriel River.
=== August 29th ===
Bree posts the video [[Swimming!]], in which we hear the first mention of [[Cassie]].
=== August 31st ===
Bree and Daniel make cookies.

Bree posts the video [[Bree The Cookie Monster]], possibly with some footage edited in after Daniel leaves.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

<pre>
31. wow i cant believe tmz would put this on the front page, thats PUKE!.. i think ive seen
this chick before on myspace through a friend heres her link
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=21355632

although its set on private... AH YEAH! = (

Posted at 1:31AM on Sep 10th 2006 by Jeremy
</pre>

The link provided linked to the MySpace profile of "[[Jessica Lee Rose|Jess Rose]]", but the profile was set on private, and the profile picture was only of someone's mouth.

At 1:16 a.m. Eastern Time, on Sept. 12, a poster at [[The Children of Anchor Cove]] fan site known only as Ennovi, used Google Cache to find an old version of the MySpace profile which included the information that Jessica Rose was a 19-year-old aspiring actress from New Zealand, who had set her profile private shortly before the lonelygirl15 series began. Throughout the day, more pictures of Jessica Rose were discovered.

Later that day the Silicon Valley Watcher blog discovered pictures of Jess Rose on Google that linked to the Clyne Management agency in New Zealand. YouTube user mgpapas, discovered a cached version of Jess Rose's photobucket account and quickly posted a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8iYeAzL1U montage of the pictures] on YouTube. Both mgpapas and Silicon Valley Watcher claimed full-credit for discovering Bree's identity, even though what they really found were simply additional pictures.

By the evening of Sept. 12, Virginia Heffernan had published photos of Bree, and fleshed out details of the story received from an interview with [[Grant Steinfeld]]. [[Richard Rushfield]] at the Los Angeles Times, also published the first interview with [[The Creators]] where they revealed themselves as [[Miles Beckett]], [[Mesh Flinders]], and [[Greg Goodfried]]. For the next several days, the cast and crew appeared in numerous television interviews.

By Sept. 13, [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] was also identified and appeared in a number of television interviews.

While some fans who were only interested in the mystery lost interest, a new generation of fans found the lonelygirl15 story and fell for Bree (even if her real name was Jess), became entangled in the mysteries of [[Cassieiswatching]], and joined the community at the lonelygirl15.com Web site.

Throughout the hunt, the [[Breeniverse]] was relatively undisturbed by the developing news. Later in the day on Sept. 13 the video [[In The Park]] appeared. The secret was out. The hunt for Bree was over, but the story of Bree continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T23:13:30Z

216.246.238.41: /* November 14th */

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===

=== August 6th ===

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

=== August 8th ===

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

<pre>
31. wow i cant believe tmz would put this on the front page, thats PUKE!.. i think ive seen
this chick before on myspace through a friend heres her link
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=21355632

although its set on private... AH YEAH! = (

Posted at 1:31AM on Sep 10th 2006 by Jeremy
</pre>

The link provided linked to the MySpace profile of "[[Jessica Lee Rose|Jess Rose]]", but the profile was set on private, and the profile picture was only of someone's mouth.

At 1:16 a.m. Eastern Time, on Sept. 12, a poster at [[The Children of Anchor Cove]] fan site known only as Ennovi, used Google Cache to find an old version of the MySpace profile which included the information that Jessica Rose was a 19-year-old aspiring actress from New Zealand, who had set her profile private shortly before the lonelygirl15 series began. Throughout the day, more pictures of Jessica Rose were discovered.

Later that day the Silicon Valley Watcher blog discovered pictures of Jess Rose on Google that linked to the Clyne Management agency in New Zealand. YouTube user mgpapas, discovered a cached version of Jess Rose's photobucket account and quickly posted a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8iYeAzL1U montage of the pictures] on YouTube. Both mgpapas and Silicon Valley Watcher claimed full-credit for discovering Bree's identity, even though what they really found were simply additional pictures.

By the evening of Sept. 12, Virginia Heffernan had published photos of Bree, and fleshed out details of the story received from an interview with [[Grant Steinfeld]]. [[Richard Rushfield]] at the Los Angeles Times, also published the first interview with [[The Creators]] where they revealed themselves as [[Miles Beckett]], [[Mesh Flinders]], and [[Greg Goodfried]]. For the next several days, the cast and crew appeared in numerous television interviews.

By Sept. 13, [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] was also identified and appeared in a number of television interviews.

While some fans who were only interested in the mystery lost interest, a new generation of fans found the lonelygirl15 story and fell for Bree (even if her real name was Jess), became entangled in the mysteries of [[Cassieiswatching]], and joined the community at the lonelygirl15.com Web site.

Throughout the hunt, the [[Breeniverse]] was relatively undisturbed by the developing news. Later in the day on Sept. 13 the video [[In The Park]] appeared. The secret was out. The hunt for Bree was over, but the story of Bree continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T23:11:40Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 24th ===

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===
Bree posts the video [[My Lazy Eye (and P. Monkey gets Funky!)]].

Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

The link provided linked to the MySpace profile of "[[Jessica Lee Rose|Jess Rose]]", but the profile was set on private, and the profile picture was only of someone's mouth.

At 1:16 a.m. Eastern Time, on Sept. 12, a poster at [[The Children of Anchor Cove]] fan site known only as Ennovi, used Google Cache to find an old version of the MySpace profile which included the information that Jessica Rose was a 19-year-old aspiring actress from New Zealand, who had set her profile private shortly before the lonelygirl15 series began. Throughout the day, more pictures of Jessica Rose were discovered.

Later that day the Silicon Valley Watcher blog discovered pictures of Jess Rose on Google that linked to the Clyne Management agency in New Zealand. YouTube user mgpapas, discovered a cached version of Jess Rose's photobucket account and quickly posted a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8iYeAzL1U montage of the pictures] on YouTube. Both mgpapas and Silicon Valley Watcher claimed full-credit for discovering Bree's identity, even though what they really found were simply additional pictures.

By the evening of Sept. 12, Virginia Heffernan had published photos of Bree, and fleshed out details of the story received from an interview with [[Grant Steinfeld]]. [[Richard Rushfield]] at the Los Angeles Times, also published the first interview with [[The Creators]] where they revealed themselves as [[Miles Beckett]], [[Mesh Flinders]], and [[Greg Goodfried]]. For the next several days, the cast and crew appeared in numerous television interviews.

By Sept. 13, [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] was also identified and appeared in a number of television interviews.

While some fans who were only interested in the mystery lost interest, a new generation of fans found the lonelygirl15 story and fell for Bree (even if her real name was Jess), became entangled in the mysteries of [[Cassieiswatching]], and joined the community at the lonelygirl15.com Web site.

Throughout the hunt, the [[Breeniverse]] was relatively undisturbed by the developing news. Later in the day on Sept. 13 the video [[In The Park]] appeared. The secret was out. The hunt for Bree was over, but the story of Bree continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T23:05:16Z

216.246.238.41: /* November 11th */

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

Daniel posts the video [[Girl Problems...]] and declares he's not going to talk to Bree for a while.
=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===
Bree posts the video [[My Lazy Eye (and P. Monkey gets Funky!)]].
=== July 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]].

=== August 3rd ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===
Bree asks Daniel what he talked to her dad about. Daniel makes Bree upset by trying to light some candles in her room.
Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

=== August 8th ===

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

<pre>
31. wow i cant believe tmz would put this on the front page, thats PUKE!.. i think ive seen
this chick before on myspace through a friend heres her link
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=21355632

although its set on private... AH YEAH! = (

Posted at 1:31AM on Sep 10th 2006 by Jeremy
</pre>

The link provided linked to the MySpace profile of "[[Jessica Lee Rose|Jess Rose]]", but the profile was set on private, and the profile picture was only of someone's mouth.

At 1:16 a.m. Eastern Time, on Sept. 12, a poster at [[The Children of Anchor Cove]] fan site known only as Ennovi, used Google Cache to find an old version of the MySpace profile which included the information that Jessica Rose was a 19-year-old aspiring actress from New Zealand, who had set her profile private shortly before the lonelygirl15 series began. Throughout the day, more pictures of Jessica Rose were discovered.

Later that day the Silicon Valley Watcher blog discovered pictures of Jess Rose on Google that linked to the Clyne Management agency in New Zealand. YouTube user mgpapas, discovered a cached version of Jess Rose's photobucket account and quickly posted a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8iYeAzL1U montage of the pictures] on YouTube. Both mgpapas and Silicon Valley Watcher claimed full-credit for discovering Bree's identity, even though what they really found were simply additional pictures.

By the evening of Sept. 12, Virginia Heffernan had published photos of Bree, and fleshed out details of the story received from an interview with [[Grant Steinfeld]]. [[Richard Rushfield]] at the Los Angeles Times, also published the first interview with [[The Creators]] where they revealed themselves as [[Miles Beckett]], [[Mesh Flinders]], and [[Greg Goodfried]]. For the next several days, the cast and crew appeared in numerous television interviews.

By Sept. 13, [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] was also identified and appeared in a number of television interviews.

While some fans who were only interested in the mystery lost interest, a new generation of fans found the lonelygirl15 story and fell for Bree (even if her real name was Jess), became entangled in the mysteries of [[Cassieiswatching]], and joined the community at the lonelygirl15.com Web site.

Throughout the hunt, the [[Breeniverse]] was relatively undisturbed by the developing news. Later in the day on Sept. 13 the video [[In The Park]] appeared. The secret was out. The hunt for Bree was over, but the story of Bree continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:56:21Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 24th ===
Bree posts the video [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]].
=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 20th ===

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

<pre>
31. wow i cant believe tmz would put this on the front page, thats PUKE!.. i think ive seen
this chick before on myspace through a friend heres her link
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=21355632

although its set on private... AH YEAH! = (

Posted at 1:31AM on Sep 10th 2006 by Jeremy
</pre>

The link provided linked to the MySpace profile of "[[Jessica Lee Rose|Jess Rose]]", but the profile was set on private, and the profile picture was only of someone's mouth.

At 1:16 a.m. Eastern Time, on Sept. 12, a poster at [[The Children of Anchor Cove]] fan site known only as Ennovi, used Google Cache to find an old version of the MySpace profile which included the information that Jessica Rose was a 19-year-old aspiring actress from New Zealand, who had set her profile private shortly before the lonelygirl15 series began. Throughout the day, more pictures of Jessica Rose were discovered.

Later that day the Silicon Valley Watcher blog discovered pictures of Jess Rose on Google that linked to the Clyne Management agency in New Zealand. YouTube user mgpapas, discovered a cached version of Jess Rose's photobucket account and quickly posted a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8iYeAzL1U montage of the pictures] on YouTube. Both mgpapas and Silicon Valley Watcher claimed full-credit for discovering Bree's identity, even though what they really found were simply additional pictures.

By the evening of Sept. 12, Virginia Heffernan had published photos of Bree, and fleshed out details of the story received from an interview with [[Grant Steinfeld]]. [[Richard Rushfield]] at the Los Angeles Times, also published the first interview with [[The Creators]] where they revealed themselves as [[Miles Beckett]], [[Mesh Flinders]], and [[Greg Goodfried]]. For the next several days, the cast and crew appeared in numerous television interviews.

By Sept. 13, [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] was also identified and appeared in a number of television interviews.

While some fans who were only interested in the mystery lost interest, a new generation of fans found the lonelygirl15 story and fell for Bree (even if her real name was Jess), became entangled in the mysteries of [[Cassieiswatching]], and joined the community at the lonelygirl15.com Web site.

Throughout the hunt, the [[Breeniverse]] was relatively undisturbed by the developing news. Later in the day on Sept. 13 the video [[In The Park]] appeared. The secret was out. The hunt for Bree was over, but the story of Bree continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:51:34Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 24th ===
Bree posts the video [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]].
=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 9th ===

=== July 12th ===

=== July 13th ===

=== July 16th ===

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

=== September 5th ===
Bree posts the video [[Poor Pluto]].
=== September 7th ===
Daniel posts the video [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]]

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, the [[Phorum 3]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created MySpace page. On the MySpace page they layed a bug, which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 14-year-old boy, they sent a message to Bree's MySpace account. Within a couple of hours, Bree sent a message in reply. Only one person had ever visited the newly created MySpace page -- and their IP address traced to the [[Creative Artists Agency]], one of the biggest Hollywood talent agencies.

The Phorum 3 went to Richard Rushfield of the LA Times with their discovery. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:47:38Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

== September 2006 ==
=== September 3rd ===
Bree's parents tell her that she's been chosen to participate in a [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]].

Bree posts the video [[A Change In My Life]].

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The [[Phorum 3]], led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By running trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica, the leader of the Phorum 3, said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the [[Phorum 3]]'s false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:43:57Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===

=== August 6th ===

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:39:24Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 24th ===

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===

=== August 3rd ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===
Bree asks Daniel what he talked to her dad about. Daniel makes Bree upset by trying to light some candles in her room.
Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

=== August 31st ===

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T22:37:13Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

=== May 24th ===

=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 9th ===
Bree posts the video [[Proving Science Wrong!]]
=== July 12th ===

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===

=== July 26th ===

=== August 3rd ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===
Bree asks Daniel what he talked to her dad about. Daniel makes Bree upset by trying to light some candles in her room.
Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

=== August 31st ===

Bree posts the video [[Bree The Cookie Monster]], possibly with some footage edited in after Daniel leaves.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the [[phorum]] and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film [[Pattern Recognition]] based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster Flwright, an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in Bree's room, which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[P.Monkey]], [[Owen]], and much of the contents of Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-11-16T20:18:18Z

216.246.238.41:

Special Request from [[the Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] appreciate all the effort put forth by the fans to make the [[LGpedia]] the trove of LG15 information that it has become. They now charge the [[LGpedia]] community with a new mission: to create a "Story So Far..." section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page. The articles [[Breeniverse Timeline]] and [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree]] can be a starting-off point for this new viewer summary. [[The Creators]] would like to see what we can come up with by Novemeber 20th. So let's all chip in and see what we can do.

----

===The Beginning===
On May 24, 2006 the world was changed forever when Bree posted her first video as [[Lonelygirl15]]. What appeared to be a posting that showed a curiosity about other "YouTubers' would eventually reveal itself as a serialized Internet drama.

== May 2006 ==
=== May 24th ===
Bree posts the video [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]].
=== May 26th ===
Bree posts the video [[YouTubers Secret Language]].

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree instantly had a large fan base.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lighted. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light fill lighting] to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

== June 2006 ==

Daniel graduates from high school; Bree is not allowed to attend his graduation party.

Bree posts the video [[My Parents Suck...]]
=== July 5th ===
Daniel posts the video [[Daniel Responds]].
=== July 7th ===
Bree posts the video [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]].

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

=== July 9th ===
Bree posts the video [[Proving Science Wrong!]]
=== July 12th ===

=== July 20th ===
Bree posts the video [[He Said, She Said]].

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that [[Daniel]] had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing [[Bree]] about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

=== July 22nd ===

Bree posts the video [[Daniel The Neanderthal]].
=== August 6th ===

Bree posts the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]]

==Enter Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Bree's religion|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66l7DRUHBE Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist] appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at [[lonelygirl15.com]]'s [[phorum]]. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.
