So many people felt betrayed. Good people. People who had spent weeks - months even - sitting at their computers staring at a sixteen year-old, not even going to the bathroom, imagining themselves rescuing her, then taking her out for a milkshake and maybe to meet their mother and then driving her back to their apartment and making her feel, like, at home. Etc.
BUT SHE WASN'T REAL! Oh the heartache. The legitimate upsetness that these YouTube patrons experienced.
Now they're over it though, and they want to know how they, too can find an audience of more than 70 million on the intermenet. Lucky then, that co-creator and producer Miles Beckett and head writer Luke Hyams are doing a presentation on lonelygirl15 at ACMI tomorrow - and they'll talk about spin-off series KateModern as well.
Bree will not be there, partly because she's now starting in the ABC Family series Greek. But mostly because she's NOT REAL.
