What is Lonelygirl15?

Lonelygirl15 is a fictional video blog that came to international attention via YouTube. The central character, lonelygirl15, is a YouTube user named Bree who began posting blogs in June, 2006.

Her blogs quickly became very popular, but viewers grew suspicious that lonelygirl15 was not real. The question of whether or not she was real received a great deal of attention in the media, from late August to early September. Fans ultimately exposed lonelygirl15 as a fictitious character played by New Zealand actress Jessica Lee Rose. The creators of the series were identified as Miles Beckett, Mesh Flinders and Greg Goodfried.

The series is still running with new videos appearing regularly. Lonelygirl15 won the VH1 "Big in '06" award for Biggest Download, and remains the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, with over 75,000 subscribers as of Jan. 2006.

What is a Fanlisting? What's the point?

A fanlisting is, quite simply, a listing of fans. Fanlistings are similar to any other group or club you might join. You can join a fanlisting to 'show your love of something.' Most fanlistings have small codes, buttons, or plaques available which you can display on your own website if you'd like.

There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are); they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.
