So who's seen this? What do you think?

(The upshot: they found something interesting/neat to do with a Sponsored LJ, a kind of RP journal where the main character for a movie posts once a day about her life/the events in the movie, until the movie opens, and people can talk to her. Link is to an entry by the person who came up with it and planned it.)

Oh, completely. Fandom's practically all about suspending disbelief enough to care, even though we know it's not real--especially in the context of rp.

And it's okay to admit that it's marketing. It's like those sample tables at grocery stores. You know it's the company doing it, and that they're doing it in hopes that you'll buy some of their stuff, but you don't see anyone going, "THEY ARE MARKETING AT US OH NOES D:".

Plus, lying about it, even by omission, would be bound to piss people off and alienate potential fans. I think if they did that, then most people who got involved and invested in it would feel betrayed when they found out. You know?
