Just for the record, I am not canon. I am a fan just like all of you. While I do have anonymous sources and tipsters, I am truly investigating as one of you would.
I enjoy investigating the trials and tribulations of Bree, Daniel, Jonas, Tachyon (wow the list is growing by the day)... and P Monkey of course!
Thanks for watching and tune in next week...when we investigate: Where's Gemma been?

remember...suspend your belief! the creators do no exsist in the breeniverse!
And the breeniverse version of dateline, NikeB-line, has "anonymous" sources...
I'm glad I read that. My perception of the Breeniverse is so much different now.
Clearly the MUST READ was justified. This is on the level of Watergate or no WMDs in Iraq. How could I have gone on not knowing this?
But seriously. I don't think NBR was ever held up as some shining example of fan interaction or anything. Everyone knew it had some tie, but it wasn't like it ever spoiled the plot of LG15.
I just had a thought too, since a lot of the people who are complaining about this have tried their own fan interaction stuff, and they were not granted any Nikki Bower Report level access as a result.
Taking that into account, it makes sense why this angers you with Nikki B. being a friend of some folks behind the scenes.
But maybe if you superfans stopped acting like online predators, the powers that be wouldn't want to keep a safe 30-50 yards between them and the fans at all times!
I really think "fan interaction" is kind of impossible, because only the Creators know what they want to do next. Even if someone filmed a video with characters and some sort of inter-related plot, they don't know what the Creators are doing and the canon plot could easily take a twist that'd go against the fan series. Also, even if a fan makes a video that the canon people reference, and therefore essentially gives a nod to as canon, then what if that fan goes and does something crazy- like announced "JONAS JUST CALLED- BREE IS DEAD!!!!!!!!" The canon-incorporated characters would suddenly fly in the face of real canon and really confuse things (obviously it doesn't have to be in a way nearly that dramatic.)
So overall I really don't understand how fan interaction was ever really viable, perhaps they could give some guidance...? Or they can just keep creating spin-offs that "mesh" with what they want for the series to give the illusion of fan interaction but without it actually being that?

Next on a very special "Dateline".
TW walks up to the door and rings the bell. Out of the shadows, the cops rush him and pin him to the ground.
"You don't undertand! I've been watching this girl's videos on the Internet and she needs my help! She needs a father figure. I need to know if she's seen my vids!"
The cops frisk him. "What's this bulge in your pocket, son?"
"It's nothing... really!"
They reach in and extract a purple sockpuppet.
"This here's your only real friend, boy, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to get reacquainted with him in the slammer"
"No... Bree! Run, Bree! They'll come for you next!"

I hate it when that happens! Especially with the cameras all around, and the producers screaming at you to sign the release forms...

Personally, I like the Nikki Bower character, and I like the way she's interacted with the series. Obviously everyone knew she had some connection. But if you don't think it's interesting to learn what that connection is there's no reason to go around trying to start a flame war with people who do find it interesting.
And, uh, news flash -- if you have over 1,000 posts at the lonelygirl forum you are officially a member of the superfan club.
"NO BREE DON'T PRESS THAT BUTTON" yelled Daniel.
"why?" Bree said, click.
WOOOOOO NUVCLEAR EXPLOSION!!!!EVEYRONE

Depends on how many of those posts are actually about LG15
