Need advice in editing out the Contents box on the left column -- any takers?
Would someone please clear up the nature of this article? Is this an ARG? And I feel that it is unclear in the article how this relates to LG15. I've seen this thread in the forum, but still don't really understand what it is after poking around in there and reading this article. --Treefunk 17:41, 7 December 2006 (CST)
- It's basically an ARG, but I never had anything to do with it. I guess there's a Web site, students go to the Web site and do fake homework assignments. And there's also a backstory about how the teacher and some of the students are insane. The reason it's fan fiction is because the story claimed that Bree went through the homeschooler's aggregate.
