== Summary- The CassieNotes Version ==
'''Cassieiswatching''' is the name of a YouTube user who garnered notoriety for "herself" after posting two videos, featuring locations from the [[Lonelygirl15]] videos [[Swimming!]] and [[In The Park]]. Because these locations in the Los Angeles area were believed to be known only to the [[LG15]] production staff and cast, a great air of mystery still surrounds cassieiswatching as to how its producers came into possession of such knowledge.

The creators of the [[Lonelygirl15]] project have disavowed any connection to cassieiswatching [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=718], but for several weeks, numerous ''[[cassie]]'' fans speculated that the disavowment was an aspect of the "This Is Not A Game" tradition of [[Alternate Reality Game]]s, which cassieiswatching is believed to have been.

[[The Creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15]] have yet to address this speculation directly, though moderators at [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum the official Lonelygirl15 forum] have stated that the forum [[Admin]] offered assurances that cassieiswatching is not directly related to [[lonelygirl15 (production) | lonelygirl15]]. [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1135&start=30]

Since the movement of cassieiswatching into the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORG MMORPG] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_life Second Life] and the non-eventful nature of [[Breeniverse Timeline|October 12]] in [[lonelygirl15]], cassieiswatching's producers seem to have put the project on hiatus, leaving many of its fans now ready to believe that it is an entity independent of [[lonelygirl15]] after all. As yet, the unconfirmed detail that the "[[cassie]]" of cassieiswatching was merely an artifact of late-introduced character [[Frank]]'s schizophrenia appears to be the strongest candidate for the series' solution.

Much later in the official storyline, it has been implied that cassieiswatching's videos are indeed made by [[Bree]]'s friend [[Cassie]], but rather than a supernatural origin, they are an elaborate prank pulled by a mischievious girl. This move for closure however brings up questions of its own.

In the Revelation 3 video there can clearly be seen the hands of a man fixing a lure. This bears the question that if these videos were done by a young girl, where did these hands come from? It could be some kind of stock footage or Cassie may have had someone working with her. One interesting thing is that the lure being fixed is an aphid. This could be a random foreboding of things to come or it could indicate foreknowledge of that which is shortly to occur.

==Origin ==
[[Cassieiswatching]] posted her first video on September 12, 2006. The creation of cassieiswatching appears to be inspired by two events:

(1) The [[lonelygirl15]] video [[Swimming!]] dated August 29, 2006 contains three scenes in which the characters refer to a girl named Cassie. In the video, [[Bree]] asks [Daniel]] about the fate of a girl she knew from high school. [[Daniel]] says he doesn't remember this girl. [[Bree]] unsuccessfully tries to spark his memory, and then says she used to walk the track with her and that other kids were mean to [[Cassie]]. The last scene contained a somber tone that contrasts with the rest of the video, which was lighthearted and intimate.

(2) The unveiling of [[lonelygirl15]] as an interactive multimedia production [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36] and not a real video blog on September 7, 2006. The YouTube page for the first cassieiswatching video, [[This Is My Story Now]], contains the tags "[[bree]]" "tells" "lies" in reference to the news that [[lonelygirl15]] is not real. The video ends with a voice saying "come and get it," commonly interpreted as an invitation to [[lonelygirl15]] viewers to participate in an [[ARG]] (Alternate Reality Game).

The game has leveraged the use of multimedia and interactive content to generate clues for the participants. Clues have been discovered in two videos, an altered [Bible] page, a voicemail message and several puzzles using morse code and anagrams.

===[[Virginia Heffernan]]===

A New York Times blogger, Virginia Heffernan, who had been extensively covering the story of lonelygirl15, reported on cassieiswatching's first video before it was released in [http://screens.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/09/12/lonely-girl-and-friends-just-wanted-movie-deal/ this entry], describing it as "[a] renegade lonelygirl-spinoff, which has some attenuated ties to the original". When asked about it through e-mail, Ms. Heffernan said:

<pre>"I was tipped off to it in weird ways: Morse-code text messages, Skype
IMs with a mysterious name, and that screwy audio file. The only
proof that what the person was saying was true is that he/she/they/it
had a photo and the coordinates of the swimming hole, so I believed
that there had been some contact with the original creators. But who
knows?"</pre> [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=727#7178]

== Cassie Is Watching Clues ==

''see [[Cassieiswatching clues]]''

==Character Development ==

===Canon - The Official Cassie===

[[Cassie]] has been referenced in four [[Lonelygirl15]] videos so far: '''[[Swimming!]]''' dated August 30, 2006 and '''[[My Helper]]''' dated September 27, 2006, as well as the more recent videos '''[[Bree Phone Home]]''' and '''[[Miss Me?]]'''.

In the '''[[Swimming!]]''' video, [[Bree]] has the following discussion with Daniel:

[[Bree]]: Whatever happened to that girl [[Cassie]]?

[[Daniel]]: Who?

[[Bree]]: That girl, she was in your class. You know?

[[Daniel]]: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

(other dialog)

[[Bree]]: Did she graduate?

[[Daniel]]: Who?

[[Bree]]: [[Cassie]].

[[Daniel]]: Who is this girl?

[[Bree]]: She was in your class

(break)

[[Bree]]: ... PE together.

[[Daniel]]: What'd she look like?

[[Bree]]: I don't remember.

[[Daniel]]: Why would you even bring it...?

[[Bree]]: I don't know what I'm... alright, just forget about it. I don't know, we used to just walk around the track together. 'Cause everybody was so mean to her. You know? Do you want to go?

[[Bree]] is perceived as an imaginative but socially immature girl, and [[Daniel]] is a practical and introverted guy. The dialog between them suggests a mystery about [[Cassie]]. [[Daniel]], an intelligent and observant individual, should be able to remember a classmate (especially since they live in a small town). [[Daniel]] could be lying, which would alter the interpretation of the mystery, but there is no reason to believe he is withholding information from [[Bree]]. This has caused two lines of speculation: (1) [[Cassie]] disappeared due to foul play, possibly related to a cult (as many victims of cults are loners seeking acceptance from others), or (2) [[Bree]] has a split personality and [[Cassie]] is the other half.

In the '''[[My Helper]]''' video, [[Bree]] says the following:

"The only girl I've ever really been friends with was [[Cassie]]. She used to come over but the whole religion thing kinda freaked her out. And once I went back to home-school she stopped calling me."

This video may have impacted the cassieiswatching game development. The game intially left open the possibility that [[Cassie]] was a victim of a sacrifice related to [[Bree]]'s occult religion, but this video has all but eliminated that theory as plausible.

In '''[[Bree Phone Home]]''' it may have been [[the creators]]' way of giving [[LG15]] viewers closure on who or what cassieiswatching was. Bree explains that while they were friends, [[Cassie]] was prone to doing pranks like prank-calling strangers and whispering creepy things like "I'm watching!"(one of cassieiswatching's trademark phrases). The two of them got in trouble for the prank calls when some of the angry victims of the pranks called [[Bree]]'s house using caller ID. [[Bree]] ended up taking the blame when when her furious mom confronted her about them. After that, [[Bree]] stopped really talking to [[Cassie]]. It is worth noting that in this version of Cassie, she is described as girl who liked to pull creepy pranks. Coupled with the mention of her use of cassieiswatching's catchphrase, it's not a stretch to suppose that the official explanation for cassieiswatching is that it is another creepy prank from [[Bree]]'s old friend [[Cassie]].

===Is cassieiswatching a benevolent or malevolent character?===

The behavior of cassieiswatching could be described as an anonymous informant. She uses direct and indirect methods of conveying information to the participants. The information is oriented to the history of [[Cassie]] and the fate of [[Bree]].

===Is cassieiswatching alive or dead?===

Speculation that cassieiswatching is dead originates from the disembodied filming style of her two videos and the line "But [[Cassie]] does not rest in peace" from clue #7.

===Differences between the storylines===

Adaptation of the [[Cassie]] character by cassieiswatching is increasingly divergent from the [[Cassie]] character referenced in the lonelygirl15 videos:

- cassieiswatching appears to be stalking the Bree character, however neither [[Bree]] nor [[Daniel]] have been aware of the whereabounts of Cassie for a year or longer.

- cassieiswatching has suggested being a victim of a cult ritual in clue #7, however in the [[Lonelygirl15]] "My Helper" video (posted after clue #7 was discovered) [[Bree]] says [[Cassie]] was a friend until "the whole religion thing kinda freaked her out".

-As posted on Frank's Website:(http://canyouhearher.blogspot.com/)

"Hello to all. This message is from [[Kaye]], [[Frank]]'s wife. I am sorry to inform you that [[Frank]] passed away last night.

....

Also, I can assure you there is no [[Cassie]], [[Bree]] or other person who was actually in [[Frank]]'s life at the end. Unfortunately, [[Frank]] saw and heard many people who were not there, and he couldn't tell the difference between those hallucinations and people in the real world. The police and the manager at the motel have said that there was no evidence of a person in crisis who [[Frank]] was actually helping. It is common for people with [[Frank]]'s condition to invent dramatic situations."

There are many that believe that [[Frank]] is not really dead. It is believed by many that [[Frank]] faked the posts from Kaye as he was seeking to get away from the madness that had found him on his blog in the form of many abusive posters. More proof comes from Ancesty.com where you can search for Frank's obiturary, and list [[Kaye]] as Family. Ironically nothing comes up. Not that this doesn't prove it was fake was well, its just insight of possible reasons. The question is if [[Frank]] is indeed alive, will he and/or cassieiswatching ever return.

==Gamejacking ==
Some of the cassieiswatching clues have been interpreted to show evidence of an Alternate Reality Game phenomenon known as "[[gamejacking]]". The change in the first video's description to "TOO SLOW. I DON'T PLAY CARDS. YOU ALL FAILED. I HATE YOU." and cassieiswatching's YouTube profile to "i don't play cards" has been interpreted as a denunciation of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot tarot] card clue.

{{Cleanup}}
__NOTOC__
==Fan Interaction Through Viewer-Created Videos==

According to their post on November 24, 2006 on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum| lonelygirl15 message forum], the [[the creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|lonelygirl15]] explained to viewers the various ways to interact with their story. Along with viewers' ability to use the official forum to discuss the plot and characters with each other and post questions, comments and suggestions to the characters via the character interaction section of the forum, the creators emboldened fans to "[c]reate your own characters and storylines within the [[Breeniverse]]." The post goes on to explain that once fans create such videos, this work can be submitted "as 'Video Comments' to a video we produce." Fans were encouraged to "Give [[Bree]] or [[Daniel]] advice. Create your own story (like [[LordGreystoke422]]) or make parody videos (like [[LonesomeOctober]])...you are only limited by your creativity." Many fans took up this challenge and began creating their own response videos. These fan-created videos are diverse in content, genre and production values.

Members of the official forum were given a section in which to discuss these fan-created works. Some of the comments about these fan creations range from praise to criticism to lengthy discussions to occasional speculation about whether or not a video response is connected to the official story. One example of such speculation surrounding an official connection to the lg15 story has revolved around the video responses of [[Nikki Bower]], whose investigative report videos have been set in many of the same locations as [[canon]] videos. This speculation could be due to the fact that two official characters, [[Gemma]] and [[Jonas]], were introduced to the audience in videoblogs under the guise of fan responses. Once Gemma and Jonas were acknowledged by Bree in her videoblog, these two characters were understood to be an official part of the Breeniverse. Speculation about other videos revolved around the fan spin-off [[OpAphid]], which became the official [[Alternate Reality Game| ARG]] of the lonelygirl15 series. OpAphid is unique in the fact that it was not created by the lg15 production team, but was rather incorporated into the series. According to a post made on November 24, 2006 on the official forum, the creators stated that OpAphid "was a 100% fan created ARG. We liked it so much that we decided to contact the creator and make it the official LG15 ARG."

In this November 24th post, the creators continue with the following statements: "We can't wait to see what other characters and storylines you guys come up with. Your creativity and passion is truly amazing." The producers of the lonelygirl15 saga are generally encouraging of fan-created materials, although they are careful not respond to, comment on or endorse these videos. Fan creations uploaded to users' [[Revver]] accounts can appear on the main page of the [http://lonelygirl15.com Tribute to Lonelygirl15 site] in a column next to the most recent lonelygirl15 video. Although referred to as "Fan Creations and Spin-offs" on the official forum, they are sometimes referred to by some viewers as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_fiction Fan Fiction], although this term is generally used to describe written works by fans regarding an original story. This genre of fan-created video fiction is still developing and has yet to be named or specifically defined within the lexicon of fan-created endeavors.

==Characters and series==

===Series which comment on the Breeniverse===
* [[ApotheosisAZ]], a person of the highest ethical order, submits insane satire and zaniness.

__NOTOC__
==Fan Interaction Through Viewer-Created Videos==

According to their post on November 24, 2006 on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum| lonelygirl15 message forum], the [[the creators]] of [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|lonelygirl15]] explained to viewers the various ways to interact with their story. Along with viewers' ability to use the official forum to discuss the plot and characters with each other and post questions, comments and suggestions to the characters via the character interaction section of the forum, the creators emboldened fans to "[c]reate your own characters and storylines within the [[Breeniverse]]." The post goes on to explain that once fans create such videos, this work can be submitted "as 'Video Comments' to a video we produce." Fans were encouraged to "Give [[Bree]] or [[Daniel]] advice. Create your own story (like [[LordGreystoke422]]) or make parody videos (like [[LonesomeOctober]])...you are only limited by your creativity." Many fans took up this challenge and began creating their own response videos. These fan-created videos are diverse in content, genre and production values.

Members of the official forum were given a section in which to discuss these fan-created works. Some of the comments about these fan creations range from praise to criticism to lengthy discussions to occasional speculation about whether or not a video response is connected to the official story. One example of such speculation surrounding an official connection to the lg15 story has revolved around the video responses of [[Nikki Bower]], whose investigative report videos have been set in many of the same locations as [[canon]] videos. This speculation could be due to the fact that two official characters, [[Gemma]] and [[Jonas]], were introduced to the audience in videoblogs under the guise of fan responses. Once Gemma and Jonas were acknowledged by Bree in her videoblog, these two characters were understood to be an official part of the Breeniverse. Speculation about other videos revolved around the fan spin-off [[OpAphid]], which became the official [[Alternate Reality Game| ARG]] of the lonelygirl15 series. OpAphid is unique in the fact that it was not created by the lg15 production team, but was rather incorporated into the series. According to a post made on November 24, 2006 on the official forum, the creators stated that OpAphid "was a 100% fan created ARG. We liked it so much that we decided to contact the creator and make it the official LG15 ARG."

In this November 24th post, the creators continue with the following statements: "We can't wait to see what other characters and storylines you guys come up with. Your creativity and passion is truly amazing." The producers of the lonelygirl15 saga are generally encouraging of fan-created materials, although they are careful not respond to, comment on or endorse these videos. Fan creations uploaded to users' [[Revver]] accounts can appear on the main page of the [http://lonelygirl15.com Tribute to Lonelygirl15 site] in a column next to the most recent lonelygirl15 video. Although referred to as "Fan Creations and Spin-offs" on the official forum, they are sometimes referred to by some viewers as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_fiction Fan Fiction], although this term is generally used to describe written works by fans regarding an original story. This genre of fan-created video fiction is still developing and has yet to be named or specifically defined within the lexicon of fan-created endeavors.
