'''Maddison Atkins''' was a nineteen-year-old communications major in her freshman year at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, TX. She was an only child, whose [[Gregory Atkins (character)|parents]] lived in Houston, Texas. To her knowledge, she was not adopted, however, there is speculation that her parents were not her biological ones.

Maddison's interests included music, which was often used as background music in her videos, and thriller movies with a theme of murder and violence. She had a crush on a boy in a local band. She wore very stylish clothes and did not drink or do drugs.

On April 11th, 2007, she received a mysterious message by a carrier pigeon. The message gave her an e-mail address and instructed her to log in immediately, saying that she would know the password. As the message said, she knew the password immediately.

In her inbox, Maddison found information for [[YouTube]], [[Revver]], [[Lonelygirl15]], and [[MySpace]] accounts that had all been set up in her name the day before. She also found an e-mail from a "[[Mr. Zipp]]", apparently the same person who sent Maddison the message and set up the accounts. In the e-mail, he described himself as a "worried parent with certain people watching [his] every move who impose[d] severe restrictions on [his] interactions with [his] only child" and asked for her help to "save [his] child's life."

Maddison did as Zipp asked and immersed herself in the videos of the [[Breeniverse]] and the puzzles and codes that Mr. Zipp left. She wanted to save her own life, and hoped, that by reaching out to the community, she would gain enough exposure to scare off whomever was after her.

Unfortunately, she did not succeed in her goal. Maddison's [[War Pylol|enemies]] caught up to her and filmed her apartment on April 24th, 2007. After seeing the video Maddison and her friend [[Adam]] fled the area to go to Adam's uncle's trailer, where [[Joel Frady]] was waiting for them.

Maddy and Adam were shot and killed in the video [[No More]].

'''LonelyJew15''' is a webisodic parody series of Lonelygirl15. The basic story can be summed up by asking the question, "What if Anne Frank had a webcam?" The series follows Anne Frank as she blogs to her new internet friends about what it's like living in her attic hide-away.

In the meantime, a sinister organization called OpAdolf is trying to find her, especially her teddy bear and best friend, Bethany.

==Cast of characters==
'''Anne Frank:''' (''Played by [[Jenni Powell]]'') A sixteen year-old girl hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II.

'''Bethany:''' Anne's best friend. She is a teddy bear with the power to send people through time.

'''Peter Van Daan:''' (''Played by Daniel Weiss'') A seventeen year-old boy. His family is also in hiding with Anne. They have a tumultuous friendship.

'''Margot Frank:''' (''Played by Emily Maya Mills'') Anne's old sister. They used to share a room but no longer do. This, and the fact that Anne began spending a lot of time with Peter, puts a great strain on the two girls' relationship.

'''Miep Gies:''' (''Played by [[Maya Kramer]]'') Anne's "Helper". She brings supplies to Anne and her fellows in hiding. She decides to take Anne out of the attic for a period of time...with almost disastrous results, after which she vanishes.

'''OpAdolf:''' (''Written, produced, and played by PJ Scott-Blankenship'') An evil organization run by Adolf Hitler that does various experiments and lays the ground work for Hitler's new regime "The New Order". OpAdolf stumbled across Margot's blogspot earlier this year and as such was alerted to Anne's special friend, Bethany. When Margot threw Bethany out of the attic in a jealous wrage, OpAdolf kidnapped Bethany; only to be defeated by Blitzyon, Margot, and Anne.

'''Blitzyon:''' A mysterious secret agent in the resistance against the Nazis, she's working to help stop OpAdolf and reveal all of the organization's secrets.

'''110139 / Hubby:''' (''played by [[Mike Frankson]]'') Blitzyon's partner and, apparently, fiance. He has been trying to find her since she's went on the run but hasn't been successful as of late.

'''Jerry:''' (''Played by [[Jerry|Jerry Wright]]'') A vlogger from modern-day who has taken a particular interest in Anne's story.

'''Kitty:''' (''Played by [[Amanda Goodfried]]'') The newest character in the series, she's Jerry's best friend and is a world-wide traveler.

'''Greggerz:''' (''played by [[Greg Gallows]]'') An old friend of Anne's that somehow obtained a camera, he vlogs and gives Anne advice through her difficult time.

'''Princess:''' (''played by [[Kira|Kira Lobenstein]]'') Kitty's sister of little words, an emo by nature and very handy with a bottle of hair dye.

'''Mouschi:''' (''Played by Tia (Daniel Weiss's cat)'') Peter Van Daan's cat. Anne is jealous of Mouschi because she had to leave her cat behind.

'''Scary Nazis:''' (''Played by Adam Daroff'') Upon leaving the attic, Miep and Anne run into a Nazi, which Miep quickly "takes care of". When Jerry and Anne return to OpAdolf Headquarters to "shoot Hitler in the face" they instead dispense with a series of eerily similar looking Nazis.

'''Maya Kramer''' is the actress who plays [[Marla]] in [[Redearth88]]. She hails from Montreal, Canada where she is completing a degree in broadcast journalism at Concordia University. Her interest in ARGs was developed after stumbling across [[Lonelygirl15]] and [[OpAphid|Operation Aphid]] in late 2006. Wanting to become more involved and educated about the world of [[Alternate Reality Game|ARGs]], she easily immersed herself in the world of [[Maddison Atkins]] during its first appearance in April of 2007. After participating in [[Maddison Avenue|Maddison Atkins Chapter 1]], Maya had the opportunity to become more involved as a member of the team during Chapter 2. With a few months and some free time to spare, Maya has moved to Nacogdoches for many reasons - among them the opportunity to contribute as much as she can to the projects of [[Jeromy Barber]]'s 12thstreethouse. She has confidence in the potential success of ARGs as a new medium for story-telling and interaction.

Maya is a hobbyist graphic artist and webdesigner. She is also dedicated to ancient Hawaiian studies and travels to the islands to study twice a year. In addition to journalism, Maya has an educational background in both Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Maya also portrays Miep Gies in [[Lonelyjew15]].

Maya was present along with Traveler1 for the Lonelygirl 15 Season 1 Finale live event, although did not appear in any videos due to some communication errors. She did keep the irc room updated on what she found, and witnessed danielbeast at the Santa Monica Statue by the pier.

'''Marla''' is a [[Redearth88]] character. She is a long-time fan of [[Maddison Avenue|Maddison Atkins]], and has been following the story since before [[Maddison Atkins]]'s [[No More|death]]. She actively oped the maddison IRC room and formed a close, personal friendship with Maddison. She was devastated after Maddison's death, and once [[Clara Stokes]] [[Thesis Statement|came on the scene]], Marla was determined not to let her meet the same end. Marla worked diligently help keep Clara [[Text and Voice Messages|safe]]. After Clara [[This is nothing|withdrew from the community]], essentially vanishing from IRC altogether, Marla became worried and headed down to [[Marla Singer?|Nacogdoches]] from Washington to see how Clara was doing. While she was there, Clara agreed to talk to Marla, and [[Marla Singer Interview|interview her]].

Marla has since obtained Maddison's personal journals, and in spite of saying she did not feel comfortable sharing the information she received, she has been leaking the information via a series of [[Marla's Puzzle|puzzles]] she devised.

Cassieiswatching

2007-01-04T07:27:20Z

75.109.203.79: /* Differences between the storylines */

'''Cassieiswatching''' is the name of a YouTube user who garnered notoriety for "herself" after posting two videos, featuring locations from the Lonelygirl15 videos [[Swimming!]] and [[In The Park]]. Because these locations in the Los Angeles area were believed to be known only to the LG15 production staff and cast, a great air of mystery still surrounds cassieiswatching as to how its producers came into possession of such knowledge.

The creators of the Lonelygirl15 project have disavowed any connection to cassieiswatching [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=718], but for several weeks, numerous ''cassie'' fans speculated that the disavowment was an aspect of the "This Is Not A Game" tradition of[[Alternate Reality Game]]s, which cassieiswatching is believed to have been.

[[The Creators]] of Lonelygirl15 have yet to address this speculation directly, though moderators at [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum the official Lonelygirl15 forum] have stated that the forum [[Admin]] offered assurances that cassieiswatching is not directly related to [[lonelygirl15 (production) | lonelygirl15]]. [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1135&start=30]

Since the movement of cassieiswatching into the MMORPG Second Life and the non-eventful nature of October 12 in lonelygirl15, cassieiswatching's producers seem to have put the project on hiatus, leaving many of its fans now ready to believe that it is an entity independent of lonelygirl15 after all. As yet, the unconfirmed detail that the "cassie" of cassieiswatching was merely an artifact of late-introduced character [[Frank]]'s schizophrenia appears to be the strongest candidate for the series' solution.

==Origin ==

Cassieiswatching posted her first video on September 12, 2006. The creation of cassieiswatching appears to be inspired by two events:

(1) The lonelygirl15 video [[Swimming!]] dated August 29, 2006 contains three scenes in which the characters refer to a girl named Cassie. In the video, Bree asks Daniel about the fate of a girl she knew from high school. Daniel says he doesn't remember this girl. Bree unsuccessfully tries to spark his memory, and then says she used to walk the track with her and that other kids were mean to Cassie. The last scene contained a somber tone that contrasts with the rest of the video, which was lighthearted and intimate.

(2) The unveiling of lonelygirl15 as an interactive multimedia production [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36] and not a real video blog on September 7, 2006. The YouTube page for the first cassieiswatching video, [[This Is My Story Now]], contains the tags "bree" "tells" "lies" in reference to the news that lonelygirl15 is not real. The video ends with a voice saying "come and get it," commonly interpreted as an invitation to lonelygirl15 viewers to participate in an alternate reality game.

The game has leveraged the use of multimedia and interactive content to generate clues for the participants. Clues have been discovered in two videos, an altered Bible page, a voicemail message and several puzzles using morse code and anagrams.

A New York Times blogger, Virginia Heffernan, who had been extensively covering the story of lonelygirl15, reported on cassieiswatching's first video before it was released in [http://screens.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/09/12/lonely-girl-and-friends-just-wanted-movie-deal/ this entry], describing it as "[a] renegade lonelygirl-spinoff, which has some attenuated ties to the original". When asked about it through e-mail, Ms. Heffernan said:

<pre>"I was tipped off to it in weird ways: Morse-code text messages, Skype
IMs with a mysterious name, and that screwy audio file. The only
proof that what the person was saying was true is that he/she/they/it
had a photo and the coordinates of the swimming hole, so I believed
that there had been some contact with the original creators. But who
knows?"</pre> [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=727#7178]

== Cassie Is Watching Clues ==

''see [[Cassieiswatching clues]]''

==Character Development ==

===Canon - The Official Cassie===

Cassie has been referenced in three Lonelygirl15 videos: '''[[Swimming!]]''' dated August 30, 2006 and '''[[My Helper]]''' dated September 27, 2006, as well as the more recnt video '''[[Bree Phone Home]]'''.

In the '''Swimming!''' video, Bree has the following discussion with Daniel:

Bree: Whatever happened to that girl Cassie?

Daniel: Who?

Bree: That girl, she was in your class. You know?

Daniel: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

(other dialog)

Bree: Did she graduate?

Daniel: Who?

Bree: Cassie.

Daniel: Who is this girl?

Bree: She was in your class

(break)

Bree: ... PE together.

Daniel: What'd she look like?

Bree: I don't remember.

Daniel: Why would you even bring it...?

Bree: I don't know what I'm... alright, just forget about it. I don't know, we used to just walk around the track together. 'Cause everybody was so mean to her. You know? Do you want to go?

Bree is perceived as an imaginative but socially immature girl, and Daniel is a practical and introverted guy. The dialog between them suggests a mystery about Cassie. Daniel, an intelligent and observant individual, should be able to remember a classmate (especially since they live in a small town). Daniel could be lying, which would alter the interpretation of the mystery, but there is no reason to believe he is withholding information from Bree. This has caused two lines of speculation: (1) Cassie disappeared due to foul play, possibly related to a cult (as many victims of cults are loners seeking acceptance from others), or (2) Bree has a split personality and Cassie is the other half.

In the '''My Helper''' video, Bree says the following:

"The only girl I've ever really been friends with was Cassie. She used to come over but the whole religion thing kinda freaked her out. And once I went back to home-school she stopped calling me."

This video may have impacted the cassieiswatching game development. The game intially left open the possibility that Cassie was a victim of a sacrifice related to Bree's occult religion, but this video has all but eliminated that theory as plausible.

In '''Bree Phone Home''' it was almost certainly the creator's way of giving LG15 viewers closure on who or what cassieiswatching was. IT is explained away as an extension of cassie's prank calls that had previously caused bree and cassie's friendship to end as cassie went 'too far'. It is worth noting that some people have suggested that this video was intended to remind viewers of cassie's existence in order to introduce her as a potential character, rather than ignoring cassieiswaching's existence and letting the viewers forget about her.

===Is cassieiswatching a benevolent or malevolent character?===

The behavior of cassieiswatching could be described as an anonymous informant. She uses direct and indirect methods of conveying information to the participants. The information is oriented to the history of Cassie and the fate of Bree.

===Is cassieiswatching alive or dead?===

Speculation that cassieiswatching is dead originates from the disembodied filming style of the her two videos and the line "But Cassie does not rest in peace" from clue #7.

===Differences between the storylines===

Adaptation of the Cassie character by cassieiswatching is increasingly divergent from the Cassie character referenced in the lonelygirl15 videos:

- cassieiswatching appears to be stalking the Bree character, however neither Bree nor Daniel have been aware of the whereabounts of Cassie for a year or longer.

- cassieiswatching has suggested being a victim of a cult ritual in clue #7, however in the Lonelygirl15 "My Helper" video (posted after clue #7 was discovered) Bree says Cassie was a friend until "the whole religion thing kinda freaked her out".

-As posted on Frank's Website:(http://canyouhearher.blogspot.com/)

"Hello to all. This message is from Kaye, Frank's wife. I am sorry to inform you that Frank passed away last night.

....

Also, I can assure you there is no Cassie, Bree or other person who was actually in Frank's life at the end. Unfortunately, Frank saw and heard many people who were not there, and he couldn't tell the difference between those hallucinations and people in the real world. The police and the manager at the motel have said that there was no evidence of a person in crisis who Frank was actually helping. It is common for people with Frank's condition to invent dramatic situations."

There are many that believe that Frank is not really dead. It is believed by many that Frank faked the posts from Kaye as he was seeking to get away from the madness that had found him on his blog in the form of many abusive posters. More proof comes from Ancesty.com where you can search for Frank's obiturary, and list Kaye as Family. Ironically nothing comes up. Not that this doesn't prove it was fake was well, its just insight of possible reasons. The question is if Frank is indeed alive, will he and/or cassieiswatching ever return.

==Gamejacking ==
Some of the cassieiswatching clues have been interpreted to show evidence of an Alternate Reality Game phenomenon known as "[[gamejacking]]". The change in the first video's description to "TOO SLOW. I DON'T PLAY CARDS. YOU ALL FAILED. I HATE YOU." and cassieiswatching's YouTube profile to "i don't play cards" has been interpreted as a denunciation of the tarot card clue.
