This doesn't make any sense.
This is like R2-D2 poking out and saying "hey look I'm just a midget" at the end of the ceremony during the finale of star wars.
Or, Indiana Jones after shooting the enemy with his pistol saying "hey, you know what? I'm just an out of work carpenter trying to pay my bills."
Why not go with Virginia's suggestion of a literary/ artistic agent and keep it hush hush for now?
Maybe they are trying to milk the "new art form" angle for all it is worth, but they failed miserably.

I feel like an addict with a morphine pump - i am getting carpal tunnel from hitting refresh on You Tube to see if they posted a video.

cg: Pass me one, I don't have any. XD
cb: I don't think most of us mind that its scripted since that we pretty much already knew. It's the how of it that is weird.

I think the videos will continue as nothing has happened. No on screen acknowledgement of what we have leant tonight, IMO.

If this is real, it's the least imaginative thing they've done so far. Very disappointing.

Alissa, I don't think this forum has to die...I mean, unless everyone isn't interested in seeing where this plot is going (or any of the other million mysteries). We are a vibrant community that is pretty damn smart. This knocked the wind out of us, but I think there's still work to do.

CBOwen, to my knowledge none of my fiction books have "There was a girl, she liked candles, the end. P.S, if you are in a library BUY ME!!"
If it is from them ... the moment a plot is needed to keep people interested they cannot rub two brain cells together and come up with one. The people on this forum have created more interesting stories! To quote the creators...
A story that is interactive and constantly evolving with the audience.
Where was the interaction? How in any way was there a plot? She asked a friend not to light a candle and had a picture. As for evolving? *laugh my f*cking arse off* The moment we came up with ideas they admitted it all!
Wow, what a story. And one that certainly evolved past a candle and swimming, I mean what an end! I cannot wait to see what else they have in store if that was the big teaser /sarcasm

I just don't see why they would fess up now and like this. For a group of people who created a highly interesting and phenomenal series, this is the most un-interesting and un-phenomenal way to fess up.

I think that when they mentioned the fans getting paid for their efforts, they didn't mean getting paid monetarily. I think they meant that our efforts would pay off, they would affect the plot. My ideal way for this to come out would be for them to lead us to the confession via a trail of carefully leaked clues, rather than just hand it over to us.

;D And a big thanks to milo_went who suggested they ask me to make a cameo! lol! Their confession was the most anti-climactic crap I ever saw! I mean I knew it was fake, but I didn't want THEM to tell me! Investigation seems a little less fun now that all parties involved acknowledge its fake. Then again that doesn't stop the LOST people..

The more I think of it, the lack of a YT response is quite meaningful - I mean, what percentage of subscribers do the people here REALLY represent? They just "announced" this to...what amounts to merely a handful of people. If it were any sort of beginning, end or REVELATION....shouldn't it be on YT? To EVERYONE?

Socal: I agree, but, if they're making this awesome new "ZOMGCOOL" site with forums and etc, the most likely that is where the action will be. I just wish I had a chance to become better friends with a lot of you.
