Listen to it! There is a rebroadcast. No, they never intended to stop it, actually they say they want to keep it going for ever. You're looking too much into it. Most of the story line is pretty straightforward. The only major character twist so far was Gemma being evil, and I'm not sure they intended for her to be evil from the beginning. By the way, they confirmed on the radio show that she has been "deprogammed". My opinion is that Jonas fan base is so strong that they would never make him evil.

I don't know abotut he radio show but it was originally supposed to end on/right before the ceremony. IT was around the time all kinds of fan-accounts( Op-aphid, itscassie was actually cassieiswatching or something) became cannon that they got an offer to continue it and they had to pull something out of their pants.

I didn't say they didn't -want- it to end but I was under the impression it was the original planned end of the project unless they got more support. I remember in an interveiw that at first the actors and actresses were not being paid for the first buncha videos.

No, I don't think so.

Things have changed a lot since then. The fans have started contributing, and the Creators have said they will keep making them as long as we are watching them.

Yes, I know there is a rebroadcast, and I'm going to listen to it later.

As far as your assertion that the Creators won't make Jonas evil because of the fan base...they are certainly making him ambiguous, and so that tells me that speculation is appropriate.

Some of the Jonas fans want him to be evil. It would just be more fun that way.

Well I do- I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

I know it's changed but I'm pretty sure it was supposed to end around there, and when I say that it isn't some insult to the creators.

Yeah I know he's ambiguous, and that's definitely part of why the character is interesting. But you'll hear in the radio show that the Creators are really into that good vs evil theme for the story. And they really make a distinction between who's good and who's bad. That makes me believe that they're not into making Jonas evil ust because "that's cool".

The thing is I've seen (read) many people predicting the end of LG15 from day one to now, and never such a thing from Miles, Mesh and Greg. The only change that really happened in their plan was that they wanted to get a contract of some sort for LG15 at the begining, but when we were finally contacted by companies, time had changed and they had a fan base large enough to decide they didn't want to sell out and keep the freedom to go anywhere they wanted to and interact with the fans (an aspect of LG15 that would be compromised in the deal with companies).

Just a question. All this time has past and he's done nothing bad. Except for have some unknown symbol in his house that ANYONE could have put there. I mean, you saw all those cameras at their old place. Who knows how the thing got there. But it's wrong of them or Bree I should say ...to just assume it's Jonas. I thought that Bree was smarter than that but, guess not. I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

I gotta agree; I interpreted this more like "Bree, you're going into their hands now, so be careful not to piss 'em off. "

Actually, they didn't confirm that. They hesitated to confirm she was dead and immortal1 - in the chat - said "She's being deprogrammed." One of the Creators then - in a jovial voice - said, "Yeah, that's exactly right." The way they spoke made it clear that they don't even know what more will become of Gemma (if anything).

Lurker, I just love the way you take care to correct these little inaccurate details within posts that often get overlooked in the flow of the thread. It keeps those small inaccuracies from becoming monsters of their own. If this would have been left uncorrected, it's quite possible that Gemma being deprogrammed would have been viewed as fact straight from the Creator's mouths within a week.

Lurker, I love your brain. Can I marry your brain?

Thanks, llp.

And, yeah, I try to avoid letting those sorts of things grow.

My brain is spoken for but flattered nonetheless.

a lot of people asked this question since the start and the creators have straight forwardly said absolutely not.

I agree with you, if you watch the videos, at one point everything kind of changes and all of a sudden the ceremony is bad. But yeah, I think that their original plan was to end it at the ceremony.
