inside LG15

As many of know, this Friday’s eclipse will also mark the end of lonelygirl15, but with every end comes a new beginning. The new LG15 show will be premiering in September on www.LG15.com. During the weeks leading up to the show we will be running an ARG/Interactive campaign to build awareness and bring new members to this community. In fact, it’s already started.

We know that you, the LG15 community, are the best ambassadors to bring in and welcome new members to the community. We are looking for people from around the world to act as ambassadors and help promote the show through this interactive campaign.

Each selected ambassador will be given a confidential set of instructions directing them how to proceed. If you would like to be involved email Amanda at amanda@lg15.com.

QtheC suggested this contest: “Lonelygirl15 Character Love Poem Contest” - write a love poem from one lonelygirl15 character to another lonelygirl15 character. The winning entry will receive a signed cast photograph and copy of their poem.

Post your entries in the comments below or send to amanda@eqal.com. Entries must be submitted by this Friday at 11:59 pm PST.

Chat live with the Creators on Monday, 7/14 at 4 pm PST (7 pm EST) on nowlive.com. Stop in to ask questions about the end of lonelygirl15, the new shows announced, or the new website, or just offer your comments.

Follow the chat link on Monday to access the nowlive chat. Hope to see you there!

With the upcoming changes to LG15.com and the end of the lonelygirl15 series (read the original message here and Amanda’s follow-up here), there have been quite a few questions about the future. People have a lot of concerns about the end of lonelygirl15, the new show in the LG15 universe, and the new website that is coming soon.

There will be a live chat with the community to answer some of these questions. (The date will be announced on Inside.) In addition to that, Virginian9000 suggested some type of live blog where people can send in their questions or concerns.

So post your questions, comments, or concerns as comments here. To provide an easy-to-read method of response, we will post responses on this page. Obviously, not everything can be answered, but we will reply to as many of these as possible with as much detail as we can provide. Please be patient if we don’t respond right away - it’s a very busy time for the cast and crew!

Don’t forget: Read questions and responses here!.

We have some exciting news to announce! Over the last several months, we have been working to rebuild the LG15 website. Our programmers and designers have been working tirelessly to code and design a new social network platform. In August, we will relaunch LG15.com as a full-functioning social network with profile pages, chat, forums, comment boards, blogs, groups, and other tools. In the future, we will be integrating third party sites such as YouTube and Twitter into the platform so that you can manage your accounts from LG15.com as well as import your videos, photos, and messaging into your profile pages. We are very excited and eager to show you what we have built. During the month of August we ask you to beta test the site, send us your feedback, and invite friends to join the new and improved LG15 community.

We will also be premiering a new LG15 Universe show based in the US. It will bring together the best parts of lonelygirl15 and KateModern, including some of your favorite characters. To make room for the new storyline and characters, we’ve decided to bring the lonelygirl15 storyline to an end. We are working with amazing writers and actors and are very excited about the new show. To this community, it will feel less like a new show and more like another chapter in the LG15 storyline that picks up where lonelygirl15 and KateModern left off. To new members of the community, it will be a new story that they can get into from the start so they can experience the show without the need to watch over 500 videos. Get ready for an exciting lonelygirl15 finale on August 1!

This is very exciting for all of us and we are so happy to share it with you. It has been a long road and many of you have been there with us from the beginning. We are excited to have you continue with us on this journey. Remember, we are counting on you to test the site during August and September and report your feedback so we can fix all the bugs before the new show launches.

- The LG15 Team

Now that KateModern has come to an end we’re going to give away a very special prize. Over the last year we’ve been collecting interesting items related to the show - a Hymn of One flier (signed by Jamie Bell!), a copy of The London Paper with Charlie, Patricia Nielson and Edward Salinas on the front page, an order of service from Julia’s Eternal Bond ceremony, some Bebo goodies (cap, t-shirt, stickers, wristbands), Creme Eggs, Skittles, a DVD featuring a selection of KateModern episodes AND a signed ‘Last Work’ 12 in 12 script!

It’s an amazing prize, but what do you have to do to win it? We want you to create something that shows us how much you love KateModern. It can be a video, an image or text. Anything at all! Upload it somewhere and send the link to ilovekatemodern@gmail.com by the end of this Thursday 3rd July 2008. The competition is open to anyone of any age and from anywhere in the world.

Other news: in response to fan requests in one of the ‘Last Work’ live chats, KellyB put a gnome up for auction on eBay. Check it out!

 

 

 

Hi everyone,

After a year of amazing videos, fan interaction, live events and innovative story-telling, the KateModern online series will be coming to an end on the 28th of June.

Telling this story has been so much fun and although it will be sad to say goodbye to Charlie, Gavin, Steve, Julia, Lee, Lauren and Sophie, we all feel proud to have created a show that has definitely earned its place in TV and internet history.

Thank you so much for your continued support. Our online audience is so incredibly reactive and encouraging and as a production team we feel really privileged to have so much interaction and feedback.

We have some very special plans for the final weeks of the story, but in true KateModern style, you’ll just have to stay locked on to see how things unfold…

Hopefully I’ll see you all at Rupert and Julia’s wedding this weekend? I have a funny feeling about that guy…

Thank you all

Luke Hyams and the KateModern production team

The LG15 universe continues on LG15.com where you can follow the story of lonelygirl15, KateModern’s sister show in the US. Additionally, the creators of KateModern have launched a social entertainment company, EQAL (pronounced ‘Equal’) www.eqal.com, and we’ll be producing new interactive shows in the US, UK, and around the world (even some more stories involving the Order…).
