What Plot?

[janesalteredstates]

If it is interactive fiction, what does that mean? How much influence do the legions of fans really have?

A really good example of how interactive fiction works is todays video "Losing My Religion".

Go back and watch Voyboy's video Dream 1. It came out several weeks before this video. No. I don't think Voyboy is a prophet, or had an inside track on the plot.

I think he made a beautiful, sensitive video that added tremendous depth to the series, the Creator's were inspired by it, and chose to key off of it for this video of Bree.

And this is not the first time I have seen such a thing happen in LG15. I've seen it happen over and over since I have been following the series. For me, this is the magic that keeps me coming back, even after a multitude of "running from the order" videos.

I have been hard pressed to find any hard evidence to suggest that fan videos actually affect the so-called "plot."

And even if the creators happened to see voyboy's video and incorporate some aspect of it, what does that really tell me of the rules?
But honestly, it could just be a coincidence.

lol Jane, Here's my plot summary. At least most current, from the time Bree decided not to do the ceremony until now:

(aproximated plot)
running, running, running, crash at friends house
running, running, running, motel
running, running, running, motel
running, running, running, sleep in warehouse
running, running, running, motel
running, running, running, crash at friends house
running, running, running, crash at friends summer cabin
running, running, running, motel
running, running, running, crash at relatives house
running, running, running, motel
running, running, running, crash at order torture facility
running, running, running, sleep in car at hotel

Interspersed with episodes of high five, foosball reading Nancy Drew novels and sloppy drunkeness.

Then wasn't there something about some guy named Crowley?

Oh, and I suspect OpAphid, Tachy and Brother are on hiatis until the lawyers decide who owns them. They may be down for the count.

Hey but alot of the Fan Fic rocks - Have you checked out Voyboys latest? And when are you coming up with your next video? And then there's HSA - I think Ms. Kelly is on fire again. And of course, one of my personal favorites - OpAphid is still hanging in therel at Facility J. Infact an OPA operative is in line to receive the next package of chemical J. That should get lively!

LOL...You hit the nail on the head with that one...

I think I've got the plot down now. Let me give it a try.

Girl proves science wrong. Daniel gets ignored.
Girl gets to do ceremony. Daniel gets talk from Dad; banned from house.
Girl gets paranoid. Daniel loses job, family.
Girl looses family, gains Jonas. Daniel loses girl.
Girl gets Daniel. Daniel gets kissed.
Girl drops Daniel. Daniel gets drunk.
Girl makes fun of drunk Daniel. Daniel gets abducted...


It continues, but I think you may have gotten the pattern by now.

a cowboy shot someone with a camera in the desert.

Wow, do you mean my theory about the Cowboy is now the accepted version?

And Oh, I added the Gnostic Mass to the lgpedia by the way. although it's been edited a bit since then.

[edit]Gnostic Mass
Aleister Crowley wrote The Gnostic Mass—technically called Liber XV or "Book 15"—in 1913 while travelling in Moscow. In many ways it is similar in structure to the Mass of the Roman Catholic Church. However, the comparison ends there, as the Gnostic Mass is a celebration of the principles of Thelema. The ceremony calls for five officers: a priest, a priestess, a deacon, and two acolytes, called “children”. The end of the ritual culminates in the consummation of the Eucharist, which is a glass of wine and the host, called a Cake of Light, after which the congregate proclaims “There is no part of me that is not of the gods!”

It is the central rite of Ordo Templi Orientis and its ecclesiastical arm, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.

Add a couple more "Daniel loses girl"s in there and I think you've got it.

Yeah, I love it, mincar, except for paranoid part about Bree. Bree wasn't paranoid, she really had people wanting to do her harm.
