Lonelygirl15 was an online video series from 2006-2008 that followed the fictional life of a teenager named Bree through vlogs posted on her YouTube channel.

A more recent fictional series called Kill Cam Live began in 2011 and involves university students participating in a social experiment that has resulted in characters being tortured and killed after disobeying rules.

Lonelygirl15 was an online interactive video series following the fictional life of a teenager named Bree. The title of the series came from Bree's YouTube username 'lonelygirl15'.
The series began in June 2006 and ran up until August 1st 2008. As it went on the series grew in size and gained multiple characters, but the fictional nature of it was not revealed until September 2006.
Before this point people knew of lonelygirl15 as a YouTube user that gained high popularity through her Vlogs. Despite the creation of a personal MySpace page for Bree's character, suspicions arose about the true nature of lonelygirl15 when some viewers recognized the actress playing Bree.
The videos posted onto Bree's YouTube channel started off being based about normal everyday problems, especially those relating to teenage problems. These videos then became a lot more bizarre, beginning to be based on topics such as her refusal to attend a "secret ceremony prescribed by the leaders of the family's cult" (Wikipedia), which resulted in the disappearance of Bree's parents.
To celebrate the finale of Season 1Lonelygirl15 took part in an event called "12 in 12" on MySpace, which involved 12 videos being uploaded over 12 hours. These videos followed Brees friends and boyfriend (Daniel) as they tried to find her. This event received the highest viewing numbers of the whole series. The finale of Season 1 involved the character of Bree being killed off. This was necessary as the actress playing her did not wish to renew her contract for series two.
To partner lonelygirl15 a spin off series called Kate Modern was created. The series started in July 2007 and ended June 2008.
Produced by a production company called EQAL and being in partnership with Bebo allowed the series to gain popularity. The popularity of the series first season meant it was able to continue into the creation of a second series in 2008.
The videos uploaded during Kate Modern were first done so to the sites Bebo and lg15.com. These were then uploaded to YouTube a hour later. This delay meant that Bebo and lg15.com users were in the know before everyone else.
Their were a number of similarities between Kate Modern and Lonelygirl15, one of these being the storylines. Both followed the lives of a young girl intrigued by the idea of impure blood. The two series did merged for a period of two weeks. Bother series also included product integration, but it was more apparent within Kate Modern.
Kill Cam Live is a series in which a group of students have been asked to take part in a social experiment, by their professor Michael Grayson. Leonard Kessa Jake Reggie Ralph Sara Amber Sam Jessica
The project began on Hallowed (2011) and is still on- going. A number of episodes and videos have been uploaded, as well as live streaming and chat room events. Background aspects to the project can be found such as the individual characters Facebook and Twitter pages. There are also Facebook and Twitter pages for the killer, where participants can physically talk to them on a regular basis.
On the Kill Cam Live homepage a live feed of the Kill Room can be seen. Along side this is a chat room, in which users can talk face-to-face as well as by simply typing. On the odd occasion participants can talk directly to the person being held in the Kill Room. The latest episode of the series can also be found on the sites homepage. Finally at the bottom of the page participants can enter their email address to receive updates and messages from the killer.
A group of university students agreed to take part in a social experiment that their lecturer was carrying out. The experiment involved the group going offline for a week. This meant they werent allowed to use the internet, their mobile phones etc.
Amber, a young girl from the group disobeyed the rules of the experiment. Ultimately she was killed, through being hit in the head multiple times with a mallet. Another member of the group (Ralph) also went on to cheat, and like Amber was killed. Ralph ended up being lobotomized by the killer.
The story progressed with the character of Ambers boyfriend Brad being bought in. It turned out that Brad had cheated on Amber. He was tortured and eventually killed by the captor using acid, which was first sprayed onto him and then poured down his throat.
The latest character to die is Sam. She was stabbed to death with a high heel to her stomach. The storyline up until this point hinted that Sam could have been pregnant, which was reinforced in the way she was killed. Once dead the killer carries out a photo shoot with Sams body.
