The Blue Material -- LG15 fan activity which does not reside within, interact with, or provide reliable source material from, the world depicted in the Bree/Daniel videos. As with any fan productions, some is serious, some is funny, some is intrusive, some is imitative, some is commentating. Examples: out-of-character comments and video responses, spinoff series (e.g. the Cassieclones), real or imagined or jacked ARGs, pranks, coy semi-denials, the majority of forum posts, the All Your Bree photoshops, word association games, puppet moshpits.
The Purple Material -- fan activity which influences or is accepted into the canon world of the Bree/Daniel videos, fan and/or pro journalism which provides reliable source material from the Norns, *some* immersive projects which is compatible with the internal reality of the Bree/Daniel videos. Note: the Norns have suggested that fan interaction with the world of Bree and Daniel -- not solving a mystery game -- is one of the primary goals of the project. By extension, the prize fan interactivity goals is to produce material that shifts from blue to purple, whether this is original content or a voice in shaping the content of future Bree/Daniel situations and videos. Examples: Terryfic's "Auteur" video, Virginia Heffernan's Screens blog. Or for that matter, Virginia Heffernan herself.
The Red Material -- unimpeachably canon content produced by the Norns and starring Jessica and/or Yousef, also verifed in-character conversation with the characters Bree and/or Daniel.

The Pink Material -- Accumulated evidence that Bree (and Jessica by proxy), despite her bookish ways, is still a "stupid girl' whose meteoric rise to the pinnacle of internet infamy has not fully dawned on her after all this time. Best examples would be Bree's not recognizing along the way that half-a-million viewers were also in the room with her and Jessica's admission that she had no idea that she was actually this popular and would stay with the shoestring-budgeted series.

Internet Mini-Series (IMS):
Serial storytelling medium using a webcam which tells a story in a limited number of webisodes. Differs from a vlog in that there is a pre-determined story line, although that story may change along the way.
Bream
Any semi-unconscious thoughts that include a character or plotline from the LG15 IMS.

Hmm, fun. It's Red material intersecting with the White of everything *completely* unrelated to LG15. You could comfortably fit plot analyses, media attention that doesn't qualify as Reliable Source, the cast and crews' outside project, and fan tributes to the Norns-as-storytellers, Jessica-as-an-appealing-young-actress, and moderately-pervy-dooling-Yousef-fangirls (and boys) into the Pink Subset[/b]

*exalts stan for his latest HILARIOUS submission and makes lame effort to contribute*
Breetentious-- adjective that characterizes statements made by fake 15-year-old girls intended to impress others but accomplish no more than proving to people that perhaps the aforementioned individuals [or those that write their lines] are unsure of what the Heisenberg uncertainty principle ACTUALLY IS.
