Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexually explicit or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* It is never explained how the TAAG learned that Gina was alive, why Sarah needed to pretend to join the Order to locate Gina, why capturing Jonas and Maggie was a part of this plan, how Daniel got involved in the situation, how Gina got separated from the group, why their rendezvous point was this specific LA apartment, where Beaumont was during ''[=LG15:tr=]'' if Sarah didn't murder him, or where Maggie and Reed went after Gina's rescue (although they return for the final chapter in a party scene).
* The story also declares that Gina has been made trait negative offscreen.

* DistantFinale: The epilogue is set 13 years after the main 2009 story. Due to the 2016 LG15 revival being unfinished, the writer added a coda set in 2022 that declares the 2016 revival to be Gina suffering from survivor's guilt and imagining a world where she died and Bree lived.

* AntiClimax: The Order organization is dismantled in a single blog entry near the end of the story. Averted in that the investigation into the Order unfolds over two entries and the confrontation with the leader happens over three.

* SmallNameBigEgo: In potentially non-canon territory, LonelyJournal15 reveals that the Order is a small organization using actors, stuntmen, props, costumes and other Alternate Reality Game tools and low budget filmmaking to masquerade as a multinational conspiracy when it is in fact quite limited and possible to defeat. Some fans perceive this as a Retcon. Others see this as LeaningontheFourthWall while ArmedWithCanon to explain the low budget, amateur look of the LonelyGirl15 videos.

* Hand Wave: LonelyJournal15 is set 72 hours after ''[=LG15:tr=]''. Those 72 hours were filled with important events, none of which are presented in detail.

* Re-Cut: In the 2022 recompilation, the lesbian subtext has been made into an overt lesbian romance, but the story remains PG-13.
* Retcon: It's debatable whether or not the revelations about the Order in this story qualify as a retcon or if they are in truth ArmedWithCanon.

* ''Comments'': This fic recaptures the feel of the original series, and is told through blog entries written by an outsider, Alexis Capshaw, which means it's easy to follow even if you aren't familiar with the later seasons or with ''[=LG15:tr=]''. Set a short time after the ''[=LG15:tr=]'', this novel-length story redeems Sarah, revives Gina and focuses on the characters rather than the myth-arc.
* When the myth-arc does come into play, the author corrects some of the biggest Wallbangers of the last series in a manner that feels natural. Very well written, with a nice balance of humour and drama.
* This story bills itself as the "sequel and conclusion" to LG15 and gives fans the closure they never got from the series. Various fans declared that they would consider it canon, although the (aborted) 2016 revival of the series may have changed some minds.
* However, the author has added an epilogue to the story that presents the 2016 episodes as well as ''The Last'' and ''Outbreak'' as a [[spoiler:nightmare from which Gina wakes up.]]

* However, the author has added an epilogue to this story that repositions the 2016 episodes into this story as a [[spoiler:bad dream.]]

* This troper is the author of "Lonelygirl-217", an alternate universe superhero-themed version of events from seasons 1-3, which I originally published on the old LG15 forums. YMMV on quality, but this troper flat-out CHALLENGES you to find a spelling error anywhere in over 20 chapters.

* ''Synopsis'': Set after the events of ''[=~LG15: the resistance~=]''. When Alexis Capshaw moves into a new apartment, she expects some difficulty in dealing with her new neighbours, but Jonas, Sarah, Daniel and Gina turn out to be a lot more trouble than she bargained for.
