==Fan Interaction Through Viewer-Created Videos==

According to their post on November 24, 2006 on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum| lonelygirl15 message forum], the [[the creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|lonelygirl15]] explained to viewers the various ways to 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. Some of 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 24, 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." The producers of the lonelygirl15 saga are generally encouraging of fan-created materials, although they are careful not respond to, comment on or endorse these videos. Fan creations uploaded to users' [[Revver]] accounts 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_fiction Fan Fiction], although this term is generally used to describe written works by fans regarding an original story. 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.

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:indigo;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:white;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</h2>
----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

This 18 minute and 48 second video completes the term with a presentation that students are not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads nowhere. On the train, the characters, Lyn, her mother Rebecca, laughing, Indigo (gogo) James, and Ms. Kelly, realize that they are, in fact, fictional characters whose situations, struggles and lives have been plotted by the architect, their host on the journey. The host [http://hsao.net/day1.htm mistakenly believes] that the characters will happily join together to discuss this new development. However, the characters express their shock and anger that this author’s whim has forced them to experience such difficulty and hurt. The characters refuse to oblige the author/architect/host and stay in hold up in their rooms. One by one the characters [http://hsao.net/lastchapter.htm confront the author.] They each leave the train, vowing to become real and take hold of their own lives. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, many of whom are Ms. Kelly's students, there is little else to do but watch the characters grow into people and leave the architect's story. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. In a drunken stupor, [http://hsao.net/ending.html the architect] finds herself left forever on an empty train, alone to wander the halls of the fictional train wreck she created.
 
Back at HSA and with her life now in her own hands, Ms. Kelly vows to turn things around. She applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

[[Image:tiko.jpg|left|thumbnail|<center> HSA continues to receive funding from its anonymous sponsors through [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO]]]</center>Students are busy at work completing a variety of [http://hsao.net/kindness.html exercises] and receiving help with class notebook passwords from [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com Professor Boone.] However, students begin to notice Ms. Kelly’s sporadic attendance and lack of responses to their class work. Professor Boone shares some information with students in the form of a [http://hsao.net/jan30notice.jpg notice]. A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explains some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seem to be targeting [[Bree]] and her situation. The video does not give specific information other than to say that Ms. Kelly needs to learn how to better serve her students. Along with the text, the video also shows firefighters battling a blazing building and an unknown man engaged in actions that appear to be suspicious. Professor Cedric Boone, left to run the school in Ms. Kelly’s absence, discusses his concerns with the students. Suspicious of the sponsors, [http://one.revver.com/watch/157804/flv/affiliate/29920 TiKO’s public relations video] and Rose’s plight in the hands of these individuals, he leaves [http://hsao.net/listen.html copies of sensitive material] that he had delivered at his time as a go-between for TiKO and the sponsors, and [http://one.revver.com/watch/159866/flv/affiliate/29920 posts a lesson] involving pieces of art that allude to sinister behavior on the part of those holding Ms. Kelly. Surprisingly, a new [http://one.revver.com/watch/162990/flv/affiliate/29920 video] is released, again credited to both HSA and TiKO. It includes a calm voice-mail message from Ms. Kelly, who states that the seminar has “opened [her] eyes.” Professor Boone and the class are left to wonder if Ms. Kelly willfully joined forces with her captors or if she was influenced through more sinister means. After [[Daniel]] appears on camera [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=168 under the influence of his captors], convincing [[Bree]] to do the [[ceremony]], Ms. Kelly offers a new lesson, suggesting that [[the Order]] could provide a helpful career boost for [[Bree]] and her friends. Back at the school, with the term ending, a number of the students ask for extensions to complete missing work in time to receive certificates of completion. However, with her sudden time away, Ms. Kelly is not able to provide the necessary assistance to help these students complete their academic tasks. At the end of the term, only four students complete the necessary requirements to receive their certificates. 
These four students are as follows:

As Term 1 2007, [http://hsao.net/2007term.html ends] with neither fanfare nor a special graduation ceremony, Ms. Kelly seems too preoccupied by her recent experiences to focus on lessons. Ms. Kelly’s weekly [http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920 visit] to her therapist is presented as a voice-over, unlike her previous text-based videos. The [http://one.revver.com/watch/171028/flv/affiliate/29920 continuation] of this visit sheds no real light on the dreams that seem to plague her. It still remains to be seen whether or not Ms. Kelly accepts the seemingly sinister intentions of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation.] Ms. Kelly steps away from her self-reflection to share a lesson called [http://one.revver.com/watch/174258/flv/affiliate/29920 Perception Vs.

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

It includes a calm voice-mail message from Ms. Kelly, who states that the seminar has “opened [her] eyes.” Professor Boone and the class are left to wonder if Ms. Kelly willfully joined forces with her captors or if she was influenced through more sinister means. After [[Daniel]] appears on camera [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=168 under the influence of his captors], convincing [[Bree]] to do the [[ceremony]], Ms. Kelly offers a new lesson, suggesting that [[the Order]] could provide a helpful career boost for [[Bree]] and her friends. Back at the school, with the term ending, a number of the students ask for extensions to complete missing work in time to receive certificates of completion. However, with her sudden time away, Ms. Kelly is not able to provide the necessary assistance to help these students complete their academic tasks. At the end of the term, only four students complete the necessary requirements to receive their certificates. 
These four students are as follows:

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.
 
 ''For an explanation of this game for potential participants, see [http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]<ref>[http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]</ref> from the HSAO website.''

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

This 18 minute and 48 second video completes the term with a presentation that students are not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history.

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, there is little else to do but watch as guests become frustrated with the host and leave one by one. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vows to turn things around and applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

71.245.65.135: Ogog suggests other uses for this userbox

There has been a recent explosion in the number of LG422 template boxes, and I think this one is the last straw. This is made specially for him, it cannot apply to anyone else. Can we please cut down on this and perhaps some of the other excess ones that have been made lately? [[User:71.224.243.78|71.224.243.78]] 09:25, 11 February 2007 (CST)
:This template could be used for those who contributed to other HSAO graduations. Although the last HSAO graduation address had no individual speaker, many people participated in the "keynote address," such as NikkiBower, Simian Liberation Front, Paul (from Paul & Andrea), twj, Jonas (or whoever writes for him), Sister, Dr. Immant, APAZ, etc. I just say this because the userbox ''could be'' used by some other cool folks, I guess.

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|500x500px| Image of the HSA website]]HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

*[http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ Professor Cedric Boone] -- A professor who joined Ms. Kelly for the term in 2006. He provides help and additional instruction to students. He is also involved in what appears to be some covert work for TiKO Foundation.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- a new friend who helps Lyn by offering supportive suggestions and comments to her blog entries

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

*[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MysteriousC MysteriousC]- Perhaps the youngest student at HSA, MysteriousC has been enrolled for several terms. Notable, she often had difficulty with the class notebook passwords. In the history of HSA, she is the only student who was given the password through email by Ms. Kelly. Because she was so earnest in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIHKjBarU studies,] Ms. Kelly was willing to make this exception.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- a former student who seems to have been expelled from HSA. She broke Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, have recently moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the recent problems facing HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

[[Image:Hsacertificate.jpg|right|thumb|500px|<center>'''HSA Certificate of completion'''</center>]]
Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks. 
The graduates were as follows:

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

Professor Boone shared some information with students in the form of a [http://hsao.net/jan30notice.jpg notice]. A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explained some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seemed to be targeting [[Bree]] and her current situation. The video did not give specific information other than to say that Ms. Kelly needed to learn how to better serve her students. Along with the text, the video also showed firefighters battling a blazing building and an unknown man engaged in actions that appeared to be suspicious. Professor Cedric Boone, left to run the school in Ms. Kelly’s absence, discusses his concerns with the students. Suspicious of the sponsors, [http://one.revver.com/watch/157804/flv/affiliate/29920 TiKO’s public relations video] and Rose’s plight in the hands of these individuals, he leaves [http://hsao.net/listen.html copies of sensitive material] that he had delivered as his time as a go-between for TiKO and the sponsors, and [http://one.revver.com/watch/159866/flv/affiliate/29920 posts a lesson] involving pieces of art that allude to sinister behavior on the part of those holding Ms. Kelly.

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|500x500px| Image of the HSA website]]HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:indigo;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:white;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</h2>
----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|500x500px| Image of the HSA website]]HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.
 
 ''For an explanation of this game for potential participants, see [http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]<ref>[http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]</ref> from the HSAO website.''

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

*[http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ Professor Cedric Boone] -- A professor who joined Ms. Kelly for the term in 2006. He provides help and additional instruction to students. He is also involved in what appears to be some covert work for TiKO Foundation.

----
Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- a new friend who helps Lyn by offering supportive suggestions and comments to her blog entries

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

*[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MysteriousC MysteriousC]- Perhaps the youngest student at HSA, MysteriousC has been enrolled for several terms. Notable, she often had difficulty with the class notebook passwords. In the history of HSA, she is the only student who was given the password through email by Ms. Kelly. Because she was so earnest in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIHKjBarU studies,] Ms. Kelly was willing to make this exception.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- a former student who seems to have been expelled from HSA. She broke Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, have recently moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the recent problems facing HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any official [[lg15]] character. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the lonelygirl15 story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lesson on such topics as appropriate behavior, proper decision-making and the negative consequences of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, perceived immorality, Jonas’s automobiles and the use of profanity in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered praise to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|500x500px| Image of the HSA website]]HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

</center>

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

*[http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ Professor Cedric Boone] -- A professor who joined Ms. Kelly for the term in 2006. He provides help and additional instruction to students. He is also involved in what appears to be some covert work for TiKO Foundation.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

Rumored Former Students:

Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks.

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school.

Orientation 2006 Videos

[[Image:Hsalogo.jpg|left|thumb|200px|<center>'''HSA Video Opening'''</center>]] The videos from HSA serve several purposes. They either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to a specific term topic or offer clues to the class notebook password. Sometimes, Ms. Kelly needs to share information with students, clarify students’ issues or respond to the life of young Bree. There are times when she thinks she is being clever and posts a tongue-in-cheek video. However, because she is who she is, even these videos seem to be as uptight as Ms. Kelly. HSA videos are shown both on Ms. Kelly’s YouTube channel and also on her Revver page.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|500x500px| Image of the HSA website]]HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

</center>

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

Teachers and Administrators

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly]- Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

*[http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ Professor Cedric Boone] -- A professor who joined Ms. Kelly for the term in 2006. He provides help and additional instruction to students. He is also involved in what appears to be some covert work for TiKO Foundation.

----
Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

Rumored Former Students:

Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the recent problems facing HSA.

Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks.

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

----
Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

Orientation 2006 Videos

[[Image:Hsalogo.jpg|left|thumb|200px|<center>'''HSA Video Opening'''</center>]] The videos from HSA serve several purposes. They either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to a specific term topic or offer clues to the class notebook password. Sometimes, Ms. Kelly needs to share information with students, clarify students’ issues or respond to the life of young Bree. There are times when she thinks she is being clever and posts a tongue-in-cheek video. However, because she is who she is, even these videos seem to be as uptight as Ms. Kelly. HSA videos are shown both on Ms. Kelly’s YouTube channel and also on her Revver page.

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2007-01-31T22:40:49Z

71.245.65.135: /* Her Hunt for Daniel */

Special Request from [[The Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|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.

----

==Who is lonelygirl15?==
On May 24, 2006 the world was touched by a sweet young girl experiencing the troubles of everyday life, but it turned out to be something more than that. The truth about lonelygirl15's life was told, and the world was captivated . . .

[[Bree|Lonelygirl15]], a.k.a. Bree, is an intelligent, yet awkward and geeky teenager. Raised in a strict, isolated household, she lacks many of the social skills possessed by her peers. She does not go out with friends much, and spends much of her time reading or playing juvenile games, such as interacting with her three stuffed animals, [[Thor]] the bear, [[Owen]] the Turtle, and [[Purple Monkey|P. Monkey]]. Bree is home schooled, and she and her parents have moved around a lot, which has limited her social experiences and has left her without any true friends. For a short while she attended high school, but the social pressures, teasing and her lack of experience proved too overwhelming for her to bear. However, she did leave her short stint in public high school with one friend, [[Daniel]].

==Her Beginning==
In June of 2006, Bree bought a webcam and began posting on [[YouTube]]. At first, she posted simple, silly clips of her and her stuffed animals, which she explains were edited by a friend. Later on, however, she opened up to the audience and began sharing more and more about herself, her life, religion and troubles. [[My Parents Suck...|Bree explains]] that her religion often prevents her from doing normal, teenage activities. Along the way, [[The Danielbeast|she introduces Daniel (as DanielBeast)]], her best and only ''real'' friend. Although he just sits on the bed and reads magazines most of the time, he occasionally participates in her clips, such as their spoof of each other, "[[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]]".

Daniel and Bree spend more and more time together, [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|going on hikes]], [[Swimming!|swimming]] or just sitting in her bedroom. Bree's father asks Daniel to film Bree's play for her annual religious summer camp. Daniel refuses, and [[What Bree's Dad Said...|Bree's father reacts negatively]], straining her friendship with Daniel. Afterwards, tears are shed and angry words are exchanged between the friends. Daniel [[To Hell With Bree's Dad (yeah!)|posts a video]] explaining how he intends to attend her play, though not to film it, much to the surprise and happiness of Bree. Having gotten over the first hurdle in their public relationship, Bree excitedly shares that she has been chosen to participate in a sacred ceremony for her religion. Bree does not share many details about this religion except to say that she is truly committed to her faith.

==Her Rebellion==
Daniel [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!|invites Bree to a party]], something she has never experienced, and with people she only met during her short time in public education (and who also [[Poor Pluto|teased her]] for her intellectual curiosity in science class). Her parents forbid her to go, but Bree [[I'm Going to the Party!|decides to sneak out anyway]]. Much to her dismay, her father is waiting for her when she gets home. She is promptly placed under "[[House Arrest|house arrest]]," and her father forbids her to see Daniel anymore. After this first rebellious act against her parents, it seems as if Bree has become addicted to sneaking out, or perhaps she just relishes her newfound freedom. Daniel invites her on various "dates" and Bree is confused about teen love. She's never had a boyfriend before, and obviously never experienced a kiss, so Daniel's desire to be something more than friends befuddles her, especially when [[My First Kiss|he kisses her]] at another party.

==Her Religion==
In the video [[A Change In My Life]], Bree sheds some light on the ceremony for which she has been chosen to participate. For the [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]], she has to learn [[Enochian|a new language]], go on a special diet, learn special steps, take [[iron pills|iron supplements]] and receive weekly [[Bree's injections|injections]].

Although Bree promises to have a dinner with Daniel, she realizes that she has to attend an annual [[Fall Equinox]] ceremony for [[Bree's religion|her religion]]. Again, her mysterious religion tears Daniel and Bree apart. She decides that her religion is more important to her than her only friend. She gains a "[[My Helper|helper]]" whose role is to assist her in preparing for the upcoming ceremony. She is already studying hard, dieting, taking pills and receiving mysterious shots. Nevertheless, she enjoys this new female friend. Daniel, still angry, [[Where Are They Going?|follows Bree and her helper]], [[Lucy]], in order to figure out the woman's purpose and motives. Bree sees the videoblog of Daniel following her and is upset. She tells Daniel via [[Daniel Crossed The Line|videoblog]] to leave her alone and stop following her. She also warns him about the power of those in her religious order. Daniel ignores her and begins to become alarmed by the extent to which her religion affects events in Bree's life.

==Her Ceremony==
Daniel finds inconclusive, yet disturbing stories about a man associated with Bree's religion, [[Aleister Crowley]]. He follows Bree and her helper yet again and in a secluded, wooded area stumbles upon the ceremony. As Daniel [[The Ceremony|films part of the secret ritual]], he notices that he is being watched. Fleeing through the darkness, he escapes into his car before being caught. After that, he follows Bree's helper Lucy to her apartment and waits until she leaves, [[Following The Helper|breaking in]] and finding pictures on Lucy's computer of himself videotaping the ceremony, along with maps of locations in Texas, Arizona, California, Alaska and Alberta, Canada. Shaken and paranoid, Daniel is convinced that Bree's "cult," as he calls it, is following him as he followed them. Bree hears of this and becomes extremely worried about Daniel's safety. So he goes "underground," staying at a friend's home to hide from the cult. Daniel calls Bree, finding out that under the instruction of Lucy and other cult members [[I Lied To Daniel|Bree has lied]] to him about the ceremony, which was faked. As it turns out, Bree knows very little about purpose and date of the ''actual'' ceremony. Furthermore, Bree's father seems to have little information about the injections he was giving to her. Bree realizes that Lucy will not answer any of Bree's questions. With Daniel's encouragement, Bree decides not to participate in the ceremony, and her parents surprisingly support her decision. Meanwhile, Bree is contacted by [[Gemma]], an old friend, who warns her of the power and influence of [[The Order|the "Order"]]. This prompts Bree to reunite with Daniel at his house.

==Her Getaway==
While at Daniel's house, [[Still At Daniel's|Bree's parents contact her ]] to tell her that she should sleep at Daniel's for the night, an extreme contrast to the conservative parents Bree has known. A few days later, Bree and Daniel, both worried, decide to return to her home after receiving no responses to their numerous phone calls. Upon arriving at the house, and from within the safety of Daniel's car [[On The Run|they witness her parents leaving]] with Lucy and a man from the ceremony. Once the car drives off, the two enter Bree's house to examine the scene. Hidden inside the P. Monkey puppet, Bree finds a note and some money left by her parents. The note advises her to stay with Daniel. Daniel and Bree worry about whether or not Daniel's house is a safe location. They make the decision to run away. They sleep in the car for a few days before settling in to a [[The motel|motel]]. Bree seems to be her usual silly self, but [[Someone's Following You|Gemma warns her]] that she is being followed by a "[[Watcher]]", a member of the Order who is stalking them. They both flee again, finding [[The second motel|another motel]]. [[Silent Treatment|Daniel is upset with Bree]] for not taking the situation seriously.

==Her New Friend==
Bree is left a video comment by [[Jonas]], who wishes Lonelygirl and Danielbeast a [[Happy Thanksgiving]]. He does not give out much background information about himself, and says only that his parents mysteriously disappeared while sailing six years ago, and expresses his sympathy for Bree, a fellow "orphan". Meanwhile, Daniel and Bree return to their motel room to find it [[Ransacked!|ransacked]]. With all of their money stolen, and now having only the small amount left that Daniel is carrying, and they flee once again. Daniel becomes increasingly aggravated and wants to go back home, but Bree is not convinced that they are safe. Bree receives a vblog from Gemma who fears she too is being followed by a Watcher. [[Scared To Go Home|Scared to go home]], Gemma hides out at a friend's home, noticeably distressed, much like Daniel when he realized he was being followed. The situation for Bree and Daniel grows increasingly worse when Daniel is informed by someone named Tachyon that his car is bugged with a tracking device. Deciding that the safest choice is to [[Homeless|abandon the car]], the now-homeless couple has to resort to dumpster diving for food and a dirty abandoned warehouse for shelter. In November 28th online chat session, it is suggested that Bree and Daniel accept the help of Jonas, who is apparently rich, unemployed and lives alone in a large house. However, Daniel and Gemma are not convinced. Bree [[Your Decision|chooses to stay with Jonas]], but Daniel decides to [[Back Home|return home]].

==Her Betrayal==
Jonas posts [[Tough Cookie|a video claiming that Gemma was lying]] about being in London; apparently she is in California and still active in the Order. This, along with Daniel's abandonment of her, drives Bree to sulk for several days. Meanwhile, Daniel decides to go [[Back At Bree's|back to Bree's house]] and investigate, finding evidence that leads him to [[Breaking And Entering|break into a pharmaceutical warehouse]]. Bree decides to take action herself and begins by [[Bree Phone Home|calling her friends and family]] to see if anyone has had contact with her parents. She initially seems to find no helpful information, but in a call to an uncle, receives a coded message from her father, indicating that they are OK and requesting that she meet them. She reminisces about her old friend [[Cassie]] with whom Bree made some prank phone calls during their brief friendship. By the time she finishes making her calls; Bree concludes that the "Gemma Incident" is good reason to avoid contact with those in "The Community."

==Her Reunion==
On Christmas Day, much to Bree's [[Christmas Surprise|surprise]] and elation, Daniel arrives at Jonas's house. However, on the following day, Jonas and Daniel wake to find that [[Bree's Gone|Bree is gone]] without a note or obvious explanation. According to Jonas, Bree has taken his car, one of his credit cards, and some of his cash. Daniel decides to examine Bree's recent videos more closely to find an explanation of her disappearance. Jonas and Daniel [[Roadtrip|try to track down Bree]]. Eventually, they find her meeting with her father shortly before a run-in with the Order resulting in the [[The Unthinkable Happened|shooting of Bree's dad]]. After Bree spends several days depressed, Daniel posts a video annoucing that he "[[Bree And I Hooked Up|hooked up]]" with Bree. Jonas is [[Kicked Out|kicked out]] of his own house when Daniel makes a special candle light dinner for Bree, but it apparently doesn't go well. Then Bree posts a video saying [[Daniel’s A Liar|Daniel has lied]], and she just kissed him in a act of impulse and there is nothing more to it. Daniel goes out of the house the next day and [[Truth Or Dare|gets drunk]].

==Her Privacy==
Jonas picks up Daniel, who is too drunk to drive himself home. Daniel is accompanied by a nameless young woman, who hangs out with Bree and Jonas while Daniel sleeps off the liquor. The young woman tells Jonas and Bree about Daniel’s drunken ramblings, including his talk of a girl who broke his heart and some mysterious watchers. Daniel wakes up the next morning with a terrible [[hungover|hangover]], wondering where the pretty girl might be. Since Bree is frustrated by the antics of Jonas and Daniel, she decides to think about [[Time To Grow Up|career plans]] and her need for privacy. Meanwhile, Daniel states that he will no longer pursue Bree, choosing to spend his time [[Foosball Battle|playing foosball with Jonas]] and giving Bree space. Daniel decides that he wants to go [[For The Ladies|back to the bowling alley]] to look for the unnamed young woman. Daniel leaves for the night but never returns.

==Her Hunt for Daniel==
Bree posts a video sharing [[Daniel's Missing!|her concern for Daniel]] because no one has heard from him. Bree confesses that she still wants him in her life, but she does not want a romantic relationship. Jonas and Bree [[Looking For Daniel|go to the bowling alley]] to look for him. Bree receives a cryptic text message from Daniel, but it does not state his location. Jonas tells her that a bartender saw Daniel leave with a local man. Bree and Jonas hit the freeway and head for the man's house in the mountains to find Daniel. It gets late and they still haven't found the "local" man's house, so they [[Sleepover|stop at a motel]], where they are forced to share a bed. Jonas has trouble sleeping and makes plans to resume looking for Daniel in the morning, and possibly file a Missing Persons Report.

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</center></h2>

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

|-
|style="color:#000"|

----
Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks. 
The graduates were as follows:

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2007-01-18T03:49:25Z

71.245.65.248: added video links

[[Image: Hsa1.jpg|right|HSA website]]
<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</center></h2>

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.
 
 For an explanation of this game for potential participants, see [http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]<ref>[http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]</ref> from the HSAO website.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652(and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school.

My changes are not vandalism. You may have a different opinion, but I dealing purely with the facts. SR

Facts would be that you have cyberstalked me ALL through YouTube, SuperRuss. Your changes are fallacious AND bear malicious intent. This can be evidenced by the NUMEROUS posts you left on ALL my Youtube comments MOST of which I deleted and the fact that I blocked you after which you then started seeking out any video I may have watched and commenting on any comment I left there. I can waste a LOT of time digging up the comments or you can go away. [[LordGreystoke422]] 5 jan 2007 (CDT)

I'm kind of new to wikis, so I'm not sure why your name keeps disapearing. I'm only interested in grammar, punctuation, spelling (you know the boring stuff your English teacher keeps bringing up every time you write a paper?). I am impressed by your work, however.

Great job, kiddo!

LordGreystoke422

2007-01-04T12:54:30Z

71.245.65.248: reverted to include confirmed info

'''LordGreystoke422''' is a fan of [[lonelygirl15]] and [[cassieiswatching]] who has made a number of response videos following the series.He is without a doubt the most prolific video responder having well over 50 videos.Most of his videos take place within the Greater [[New Orleans]] area. They revolve around his pursuit by mysterious people which may or may not be related to OpAphid and the Order of Denderah. He has also been a rather prolific forum responder before his "ordeal" began. A Katrina survivor struggling along with the rest of the city, he sought some diversion in the Lonelygirl15 series. A few E-mails from a mysterious figure that he refers to as [[G-mail Frank]] quickly changed a simple diversion into an ordeal that utterly changed his life turning him into a fugitive.He is is accompanied by his dog, [[Gabriel]], that was found during his time hiding out. LordGreystoke422 has utilized a varied array of different [[gear]] and technologies in order to defend himself,remain connected, and to make his stay more comfortable despite the harsh conditions he is living in.

In addition to his dangerous exploits and helpful advice, LordGreystoke422 was kind enough to find the time to serve as the keynote speaker for the Orientation 2006 graduation ceremony of [[The Homeschoolers Aggregate]] with his memorable 18-minute video [http://one.revver.com/watch/88516/flv HSAO: What is Reality]. It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long, it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing.

==Bio ==
LordGreystoke422 shares a first name with [[DanielBeast]]. He is 38 years old and resides in the Greater [[New Orleans]] area. He attended [[LSU]] for a number of years(6+) where he majored in drinking and minored in chasing women. He is trained and licensed by the state of Lousiana as a Massage Therapist. He has rather varied interests and a pretty varied knowledge base that many of the [[LG15 chat]] have become enamoured with along with the colorful and often risque' way he speaks. He has an interest in the martial arts and was a wrestler through his secondary education years. He has developed a strong interest in [[weapons]] of all types and practices often with many kinds.

Iris2009

2007-01-04T03:42:33Z

71.245.65.248: spelling error

= Introduction=

Iris2009 is a [[Revver]] user who has produced in-character video replies in response to [[Bree]] and her saga. In the majority of his videos, Iris2009 shares advice with the the official characters while sharing his own story.

An example of his in-character exploits can be found in his video [http://one.revver.com/watch/120414 So I Was Caught], in which he explains that he was caught in the backyard of a man who forced him to eat habanero peppers. What was very curious to viewers is the fact that this man looks and sounds very much like Iris2009, leading viewers to speculate that this man was, in fact, Iris2009's brother. In another video, [http://one.revver.com/watch/130137 Merry Belated Christmas!], he offers [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] a place to stay. This offer led to more viewer speculation about the accommodations he was actually offering, as earlier in the same video, Iris states that he bought a tent to sleep in and planned to set it up in a field. Some viewers wondered satirically what the scene would look like if the lg15 characters actually took Iris up on his offer. Some painted an amusing yet uncomfortable image of [[Daniel]], [[Jonas]], and [[Bree]] crammed into a 2-man tent with Iris and his habanero peppers.

For his videos, Iris2009 records himself, which accounts for the unsteady camera work, especially in videos where he is walking and talking. Iris2009 is an earnest fan who has shown determination despite some viewers' reactions. One such example was a comment about his video "I Wanna Tell You Something, [[Bree]]..." in which a [[Revver]] user stated that Iris2009 was "too weird to be official!" This has neither discouraged him nor diminished his eagerness to share his dream of becoming an official part of the lg15 series. Although it is highly inprobable that this dream will be fulfilled, Iris2009 continues making videos and respond to the official story. Iris2009 does not hide the fact that he holds fast to his lonelgirl15 dream. In his video "Daniel, Good Job," he shows a glimpse of a building that had some similarities to the building that [[Daniel]] broke into during [[Breaking And Entering]]. Although it is very unlikely that this is the same building, Iris seemed to work hard to try to show a connection to the official story. Allegedly on December 20, 2006 in a lonelygirl chatroom, he was even observed stating that he would eat habanero peppers until he "makes canon." Iris2009 is a man on a mission and a man with a dream, continuing to post his videos and try to get noticed by the lg15 producers.

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks. 
The graduates were as follows:

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</center></h2>

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.
 
 For an explanation of this game for potential participants, see [http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]<ref>[http://hsao.net/whatishsa.html How to Play: HSA]</ref> from the HSAO website.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

71.245.65.248: reverted vandalism

'''LordGreystoke422''' is a fan of [[lonelygirl15]] and [[cassieiswatching]] who has made a number of response videos following the series. He is without a doubt the most prolific video responder having well over 50 videos. They revolve around his pursuit by mysterious people which may or may not be related to OpAphid and the Order of Denderah. He has also been a rather prolific forum responder before his "ordeal" began. A Katrina survivor struggling along with the rest of the city, he sought some diversion in the Lonelygirl15 series. A few E-mails from a mysterious figure that he refers to as G-mail Frank quickly changed a simple diversion into an ordeal that utterly changed his life turning him into a fugitive.He is is accompanied by his dog, [[Gabriel]], that was found during his time hiding out.

In addition to his dangerous exploits and helpful advice, LordGreystoke422 was kind enough to find the time to serve as the keynote speaker for the Orientation 2006 graduation ceremony of [[The Homeschoolers Aggregate]] with his memorable 18-minute video [http://one.revver.com/watch/88516/flv HSAO: What is Reality]. It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2007-01-02T01:08:41Z

71.245.65.248: minor edits

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</center></h2>

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

Teachers and Administrators

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly]- Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

*[http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ Professor Cedric Boone] -- A professor who joined Ms. Kelly for the term in 2006. He provides help and additional instruction to students. He is also involved in what appears to be some covert work for TiKO Foundation.

----
Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life."

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- a new friend who helps Lyn by offering supportive suggestions and comments to her blog entries

Rumored Former Students:

She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, have recently moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the recent problems facing HSA.

|-
|style="color:#000"|

----
Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by [[LordGreystoke422]] entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

 Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks. 
The graduates were as follows: 
Amy#2      
Joanna Childsface      
Alystra      
Faith      
Summer      
KT

Josh

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

----
Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

'''LordGreystoke422''' is a fan of [[lonelygirl15]] and [[cassieiswatching]] who has made a number of response videos following the series. He is without a doubt the most prolific video responder having well over 50 videos. They revolve around his pursuit by mysterious people which may or may not be related to OpAphid and the Order of Denderah. He has also been a rather prolific forum responder before his "ordeal" began. A Katrina survivor struggling along with the rest of the city, he sought some diversion in the Lonelygirl15 series. A few E-mails from a mysterious figure that he refers to as G-mail Frank quickly changed a simple diversion into an ordeal that utterly changed his life turning him into a fugative.He is is accompanied by his dog, [[Gabriel]], that was found during his time hiding out.

In addition to his dangerous exploits and helpful advice, LordGreystoke was kind enough to find the time to serve as the keynote speaker for the Orientation 2006 graduation ceremony of [[The Homeschoolers Aggregate]] with his memorable 18-minute video [http://one.revver.com/watch/88516/flv HSAO: What is Reality].

I'm only interested in grammar, punctuation, spelling (you know the boring stuff your English teacher keeps bringing up every time you write a paper?). I am impressed by your work, however. I teach 10th graders, and it is like pulling teeth to get them to write anything! I'll do what I do best and edit your writing, so your hard work can be as professional and polished as possible. Great job, kiddo!

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: The Immersive Fiction Game</center></h2>

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Fans soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students need to register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, the message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, making personal connections to philosophical ideas, responding to specific pieces of art, and even, creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the notebook, they are said to “Bring It” to the notebook. Students who are interested are free to post their own in-character blogs that link off the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to Aleister). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem to trying to undo for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, additional character blogs and links. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video, an on-line yearbook and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

<h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"><center>HSA: On the Lonelygirl15 Forum</center></h2>

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

Teachers and Administrators

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly]- Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- a Fan Activity moderator on Bukanator's forum, notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

----
Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the Registration Problem.

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life."

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

----
Orientation 2006 ended with a rousing speech by Lord Greystoke422 entitled [http://one.revver.com/find/keywords/lordgreystoke422#_show_video_88516 HSAO: What is Reality]. This 18 minute and 48 second video ended the term with a presentation that they were not expecting. Graduates who completed the necessary assignments were issued diplomas and were treated to HSAO online yearbooks. 
The graduates were:

----
For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

----
Students spent the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of lessons entitled [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA became sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous and work under the TiKO name. TiKO demanded that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House so the sponsors could see the work of the school. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office] alluded to some conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone also seemed to doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found on [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his site.] Ms. Kelly explained to her current class that she was concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school. As graduation neared, Ms. Kelly solicited some of her friends to contribute their words of wisdom for the graduation [http://one.revver.com/watch/129924/flv/affiliate/29920 video.] Contributing friends included [[ApotheosisAZ]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [[Nikki Bower]], [[TWJaniak]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

I understand that its not standard procedure to give credits to authors on wiki pages. However this page was a special request from the creators and I personally do not see any harm giving credit to the major authors{s} '''provided''' they understand its an exception for this page. Its always dangerous to make exceptions but we have a lot of young viewers who should be encouraged to write. If they desire personal credit for their contribution we could just list them and perhaps encourage them to keep on contributing to this page and the wiki in general. LGpedia can be a great learning tool and I personally feel that wikis are the future. Perhaps we could get Ogog to manage this page like a "school project" and give them a little more latidude. Just my personal opinion.--[[User:Modelmotion|modelmotion]] 08:25, 24 November 2006 (CST)
:By all means, if Merryprankster gave the lion's share of work to this page, then give credit, but I think '''''this talk page''''' is the appropriate place for such credit, '''''not''''' the main wiki page.

I have revised the latest version of this page for spelling, grammar verb tense and clarity. Nice story! I have been busy with life, family, work, etc. I hope to chip in more often. ----[[User:Ogog]] 2:40 EST 26 December 2006

71.245.65.248: discussed latest edits

== New organized summary ==

This summary turned out to be well-organized. I did some editing on the page, so the verb tense would be consistant. I also removed any reference to the audience (we learned...etc.) to keep the narrative in the third person (point of view). In addition, there seems to be many, many links on the page. Does anyone think there are too many? Author(s) of that section, please see my questions/comments/revision as contributions to your work. Please understand: I'm an English teacher, and it is rare that I get to use my knowledge of verb tense, grammar, writing and revision outside of the classroom. :) --[[User:Ogog]] November 23, 2006 (12:03 a.m.)

:Apparerntly the standard wiki procedure is to link only the first appearance on a name on a page/section. For example, only the first mention of Bree needs to be linked. Its probably not doing any harm but feel free to edit it to that standard (after, of course confirming for yourself that that is the appropriate standard to use.--[[User:Modelmotion|modelmotion]] 08:25, 24 November 2006 (CST)

:it'd be nice if we could tie in the videos in which the events occur, and their timedates... -capi (not user at lgforum yet).

== Thanks ==
im just a sophmore in high school and i just rant on and on and dont pay attention to my tenses. So thanks for doing that! Im glad Bree is reaching all kinds of audiences.

==Credits==
I understand that its not standard procedure to give credits to authors on wiki pages. However this page was a special request from the creators and I personally do not see any harm giving credit to the major authors{s} '''provided''' they understand its an exception for this page. Its always dangerous to make exceptions but we have a lot of young viewers who should be encouraged to write. If they desire personal credit for their contribution we could just list them and perhaps encourage them to keep on contributing to this page and the wiki in general. LGpedia can be a great learning tool and I personally feel that wikis are the future. Perhaps we could get Ogog to manage this page like a "school project" and give them a little more latidude. Just my personal opinion.--[[User:Modelmotion|modelmotion]] 08:25, 24 November 2006 (CST)
:By all means, if Merryprankster gave the lion's share of work to this page, then give credit, but I think '''''this talk page''''' is the appropriate place for such credit, '''''not''''' the main wiki page. I appreciate the work of everyone who has contributed here, and if we see more kudos to editors given on talk pages or the user talk pages, I'm heartily for it. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 21:06, 26 November 2006 (CST)

== Editing ==

I am also impressed by merryprankster's thorough work (I don't need any credit). I am new to wikis, but I know my grammar. I will pitch in when I can and where I can in helping merryprankster's work be the best it can be (especially after all of his/her hard work). (I wish my tenth grade students WANTED to write!)

So is the next step, so to speak, clearing up the links as the revision and editing gets finished? ----[[User:Ogog]] November 24, 2006

:If the excessive linking bothers you, then you are welcome to take some of them out. However, keeping the story up to date and enticing to new "viewers' is probably the top priority. If you enjoy editing there are also plenty other pages on the LGpedia that could also benefit from your skills.--[[User:Modelmotion|modelmotion]] 00:15, 25 November 2006 (CST)

::Actually, the linking doesn't bother me. I was just reviewing other areas of user talk where the excessive links were brought up. I don't necessarily enjoy editing, but I don't mind chipping in. I have been working on some of the fan fiction pages (HSA) because I am sure more die-hard fans would rather work on main pages. I am new to wiki editing, so I am taking things slowly. I'd hate to make extra work for people by messing something up. As far as keeping the story up to date, I assumed that it was a priority for those interested like merryprankster or those who view more frequently than I do. I will contribute what I can to make this page reader-friendly. --[[User:Ogog]] November 25, 2006 4:26 (EST)

Lonelygirl15 The Story So Far...

2006-12-26T19:37:42Z

71.245.65.248: edited for grammar, spelling, economy consist. verb tense

Special Request from [[The Creators]]:
[[The Creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|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.

----

==Who is lonelygirl15?==
On May 24, 2006 the world was touched by a sweet young girl experiencing the troubles of everyday life, but it turned out to be something more than that. The truth about lonelygirl15's life was told, and the world was captivated . . .

[[Bree|Lonelygirl15]], a.k.a. Bree, is an intelligent, yet awkward and geeky teenager. Raised in a strict, isolated household, she lacks many of the social skills possessed by her peers. She does not go out with friends much, and spends much of her time reading or playing juvenile games, such as interacting with her three stuffed animals, [[Thor]] the bear, [[Owen]] the Turtle, and [[Purple Monkey|P. Monkey]]. Bree is home schooled, and she and her parents have moved around a lot, which has limited her social experiences and has left her without any true friends. For a short while she attended high school, but the social pressures, teasing and her lack of experience proved too overwhelming for her to bear. However, she did leave her short stint in public high school with one friend, [[Daniel]].

==Her Beginning==
In June of 2006, Bree bought a webcam and began posting on [[YouTube]]. At first, she posted simple, silly clips of her and her stuffed animals, which she explains were edited by a friend. Later on, however, she opened up to the audience and began sharing more and more about herself, her life, religion and troubles. [[My Parents Suck...|Bree explains]] that her religion often prevents her from doing normal, teenage activities. Along the way, [[The Danielbeast|she introduces Daniel (as DanielBeast)]], her best and only ''real'' friend. Although he just sits on the bed and reads magazines most of the time, he occasionally participates in her clips, such as their spoof of each other, "[[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]]".

Daniel and Bree spend more and more time together, [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|going on hikes]], [[Swimming!|swimming]] or just sitting in her bedroom. Bree's father asks Daniel to film Bree's play for her annual religious summer camp. Daniel refuses, and [[What Bree's Dad Said...|Bree's father reacts negatively]], straining her friendship with Daniel. Afterwards, tears are shed and angry words are exchanged between the friends. Daniel [[To Hell With Bree's Dad (yeah!)|posts a video]] explaining how he intends to attend her play, though not to film it, much to the surprise and happiness of Bree. Having gotten over the first hurdle in their public relationship, Bree excitedly shares that she has been chosen to participate in a sacred ceremony for her religion. Bree does not share many details about this religion except to say that she is truly committed to her faith.

==Her Rebellion==
Daniel [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!|invites Bree to a party]], something she has never experienced, and with people she only met during her short time in public education (and who also [[Poor Pluto|teased her]] for her intellectual curiosity in science class). Her parents forbid her to go, but Bree [[I'm Going to the Party!|decides to sneak out anyway]]. Much to her dismay, her father is waiting for her when she gets home. She is promptly placed under "[[House Arrest|house arrest]]," and her father forbids her to see Daniel anymore. After this first rebellious act against her parents, it seems as if Bree has become addicted to sneaking out, or perhaps she just relishes her newfound freedom. Daniel invites her on various "dates" and Bree is confused about teen love. She's never had a boyfriend before, and obviously never experienced a kiss, so Daniel's desire to be something more than friends befuddles her, especially when [[My First Kiss|he kisses her]] at another party.

==Her Religion==
In the video [[A Change In My Life]], Bree sheds some light on the ceremony for which she has been chosen to participate. For the [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]], she has to learn [[Enochian|a new language]], go on a special diet, learn special steps, take [[iron pills|iron supplements]] and receive weekly [[Bree's injections|injections]].

Although Bree promises to have a dinner with Daniel, she realizes that she has to attend an annual [[Fall Equinox]] ceremony for [[Bree's religion|her religion]]. Again, her mysterious religion tears Daniel and Bree apart. She decides that her religion is more important to her than her only friend. She gains a "[[My Helper|helper]]" whose role is to assist her in preparing for the upcoming ceremony. She is already studying hard, dieting, taking pills and receiving mysterious shots. Nevertheless, she enjoys this new female friend. Daniel, still angry, [[Where Are They Going?|follows Bree and her helper]], [[Lucy]], in order to figure out the woman's purpose and motives. Bree sees the videoblog of Daniel following her and is upset. She tells Daniel via [[Daniel Crossed The Line|videoblog]] to leave her alone and stop following her. She also warns him about the power of those in her religious order. Daniel ignores her and begins to become alarmed by the extent to which her religion affects events in Bree's life.

==Her Ceremony==
Daniel finds inconclusive, yet disturbing stories about a man associated with Bree's religion, [[Aleister Crowley]]. He follows Bree and her helper yet again and in a secluded, wooded area stumbles upon the ceremony. As Daniel [[The Ceremony|films part of the secret ritual]], he notices that he is being watched. Fleeing through the darkness, he escapes into his car before being caught. After that, he follows Bree's helper Lucy to her apartment and waits until she leaves, [[Following The Helper|breaking in]] and finding pictures on Lucy's computer of himself videotaping the ceremony, along with maps of locations in Texas, Arizona, California, Alaska and Alberta, Canada. Shaken and paranoid, Daniel is convinced that Bree's "cult," as he calls it, is following him as he followed them. Bree hears of this and becomes extremely worried about Daniel's safety. So he goes "underground," staying at a friend's home to hide from the cult. Daniel calls Bree, finding out that under the instruction of Lucy and other cult members [[I Lied To Daniel|Bree has lied]] to him about the ceremony. As it turns out, Bree knows very little about purpose and date of the ceremony. Furthermore, Bree's father seems to have little information about the injections he was giving to her. Bree realizes that Lucy will not answer any of Bree's questions. With Daniel's encouragement, Bree decides not to participate in the ceremony, and her parents surprisingly support her decision. Meanwhile, Bree is contacted by [[Gemma]], an old friend, who warns her of the power and influence of [[The Order|the "Order"]]. This prompts Bree to reunite with Daniel at his house.

==Her Getaway==
While at Daniel's house, [[Still At Daniel's|Bree's parents contact her ]] to tell her that she should sleep at Daniel's for the night, an extreme contrast to the conservative parents Bree has known. A few days later, Bree and Daniel, both worried, decide to return to her home after receiving no responses to their numerous phone calls. Upon arriving at the house, and from within the safety of Daniel's car [[On The Run|they witness her parents leaving]] with Lucy and a man from the ceremony. Once the car drives off, the two enter Bree's house to examine the scene. Hidden inside the P. Monkey puppet, Bree finds a note and some money left by her parents. The note advises her to stay with Daniel. Daniel and Bree worry about whether or not Daniel's house is a safe location. They make the decision to run away. They sleep in the car for a few days before settling in to a [[The motel|motel]]. Bree seems to be her usual silly self, but [[Someone's Following You|Gemma warns her]] that she is being followed by a "[[Watcher]]", a member of the Order who is stalking them. They both flee again, finding [[The second motel|another motel]]. [[Silent Treatment|Daniel is upset with Bree]] for not taking the situation seriously.

==Her New Friend==
Bree is left a video comment by [[Jonas]], who wishes Lonelygirl and Danielbeast a [[Happy Thanksgiving]]. He does not give out much background information about himself, and says only that his parents mysteriously disappeared while sailing six years ago, and expresses his sympathy for Bree, a fellow "orphan". Meanwhile, Daniel and Bree return to their motel room to find it [[Ransacked!|ransacked]]. With all of their money stolen, and now having only the small amount left that Daniel is carrying, and they flee once again. Daniel becomes increasingly aggravated and wants to go back home, but Bree is not convinced that they are safe. Bree receives a vblog from Gemma who fears she too is being followed by a Watcher. [[Scared To Go Home|Scared to go home]], Gemma hides out at a friend's home, noticeably distressed, much like Daniel when he realized he was being followed. The situation for Bree and Daniel grows increasingly worse when Daniel is informed by someone named Tachyon that his car is bugged with a tracking device. Deciding that the safest choice is to abandon the car, the now-homeless couple has to resort to dumpster diving for food and a dirty abandoned warehouse for shelter.

On November 28th, Bree participates in an online chat session in which many online supporters offer help and ideas. Eventually, it is suggested that Bree accept the help of Jonas. As Jonas is apparently rich, unemployed and lives alone in a large house, he is able to offer money and shelter to Bree and Daniel. Bree is hesitant and cautious of Jonas' offer. Seeming to understand Bree's initial fear and distrust, Jonas [[Trust Issues|posts a video]] persuading her to trust him. However Daniel and Gemma are still not convinced. Jonas later posts another video saying that Bree has chosen to stay with him, but Daniel has decided to return home. He states that Bree misses Daniel and cannot be convinced to leave her room.

Jonas posts a video claiming that Gemma was lying about being overseas the whole time. Bree finally comes out of her room soon after Daniel posts a video responding to Jonas' video. Responding to him by video, she says she needs to cheer up. She tells Daniel not to go back to her house. However, he does not listen, and films his next video from within her family's home, where he is convinced he has found something helpful. Bree decides to take action and begins by calling her friends and family to see if anyone has had contact with her parents. However, she finds no helpful information. She reminisces about an old friend Cassie with whom Bree made some prank phone calls during their brief friendship. By the time she finishes making her calls; Bree concludes that the "Gemma Incident" is good reason to avoid contact with those in "The Community."

71.245.65.248: brief explanation of HSA

Need advice in editing out the Contents box on the left column -- any takers?

Would someone please clear up the nature of this article? Is this an ARG? And I feel that it is unclear in the article how this relates to LG15. I've seen this thread in the forum, but still don't really understand what it is after poking around in there and reading this article. --[[User:Treefunk|Treefunk]] 17:41, 7 December 2006 (CST)

:It's basically an ARG, but I never had anything to do with it. I guess there's a Web site, students go to the Web site and do fake homework assignments. And there's also a backstory about how the teacher and some of the students are insane. The reason it's fan fiction is because the story claimed that Bree went through the homeschooler's aggregate. I have no idea what we should do with this page -- it's really confusing to someone unfamiliar with the game (like me!).--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 17:44, 7 December 2006 (CST)

::HSA is my independent fan-creation. It is a story told within the Breeniverse. The students enroll for terms, complete assignments based on philosophy, art and technology (for example). Bree has been rumoured to have been a student. This spin-off creates videos that often uses Bree's life as an example (for how to or how not to behave). It is here because it is not an ARG; it is more along the lines of immersive fiction for people who like to discuss issues like philosophy, history and the humanities and do not find the forum a good place to do so. It was created during the rise of CiW for the lg15 fans who were looking for a different way to interact (and I did not like the focus on CiW), when it was at it's "heyday." There is a website where students interact with the story. However, no one is insane. There is a story that people follow, seperate from lg15's life, yet within her world. It is here because geeky intellectuals like to get together and explore the big questions in life (a bright student like Bree would thrive in this environment). After the videos came out, I was asked if I would object to having a section of the forum devoted to HSA. I was happy to comply. HSA has been a way for fans to get together to pursue intellectual ideas and to share their work. Guest speakerships (videos made by other lg15 regulars under the guise of HSA and appearing on HSA's YouTube account)have included twjaniak and LordGreystoke. I didn't create this page, but I have filled it in. It is probably a good example of a fan spin-off that some people follow (as encouraged by lg15 production team.) It is in no way as popular as CiW or Opaphid. However, it has been around since October and for those who frequent the official forum, it is a staple with regularly released videos. Perhaps I could clarify the introduction to explain the steps that students take to become involved and graduate from HSA. I will be happy to help you with further information on this spin-off series. However, I have been distracted by life, career and family. Hopefully after the New Year, I will be able to devote time to this entry.--gogo 12:52 EST 23 December 2006

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2006-11-25T09:16:07Z

71.245.65.248:

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2006-11-25T09:14:47Z

71.245.65.248:

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but somewhat explained in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. There was some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffered from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led guests nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2006-11-25T06:50:36Z

71.245.65.248: formatting

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

For a short period, HSAO's director, Ms. Kelly, was institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but somewhat explained in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly]. During this period, students were invited along on a train trip, which turned into a surrealistic and confusing journey that led nowhere. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offered much to occupy the travelers, there was little else to do but watch as guests became frustrated with the host and left one by one. Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Ms. Kelly jumped off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she faced for some fraudulent behavior. 
She vowed to turn things around and applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she began planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

The Homeschoolers Aggregate

2006-11-25T06:37:57Z

71.245.65.248:

The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree is/was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register in a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. HSAOnline appears to be recovering from some sort of major recent hack, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly.

'''Website: * [http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''

''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the ''lonelygirl15''-inspired internet game ''cassieiswatching'', use Bukanator's forum as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

Teachers and Administrators

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly]- Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- a Fan Activity moderator on Bukanator's forum, notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of Truth in Friendship for the current orientation class. Currently, he is viewed as a guest instructor, who offers wisdom and guidance to the orientation class of students.

----
Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, likely to become a star pupil in Ms Kelly's course due to her prowess with the [[Registration Problem]].

* Josh -- a potential student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life."

*JoannaChildsface -- a lonelyfan who can be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- a current student who corresponds with former student Lyn

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne, a current student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- a new friend who helps Lyn by offering supportive suggestions and comments to her blog entries
