I am totally sucked into this now. It's Pride and Prejudice told via youtube, twitter, tumblir, facebook, and a couple of mock websites. It's getting harder and harder to keep on top of it. LIzzie and Lydia have their own vlogs, and so does "Pemberly Digital". The big Lydia drama broke last week, first in a *comment* on Lydia's youtube video (the comment was advertising a hot sex tape featuring youtube star Lydia Bennet), and then heated up on twitter (as Charlotte frantically tried to contact Lizzie, who was at the Apple store because her phone had flaked out) before being addressed in a video the next day. This wild 21st-century way of telling a story just fascinates me. Along with thousands of fans commenting on the videos, characters in the story are commenting too. It's total immersion. Part of what makes it feel so real is that it's being told in real time. It's been going on almost a year now. The writers pay detailed attention to everything, because the fans do. For example, the fans noticed yesterday that Lizzie is no longer following Pemberly Digital on youtube or twitter, which means she won't know what the Darcys are doing. And I'm learning a whole new vocabulary from fan comments. "Oh, the feels! Omg I can't the feels!"
