[...] Valemont This fall, MTV’s first real foray into the vampire genre (produced by Electric Farm Entertainment) became my go-to example for what ARG content can add to a series. The official web site, which took on the appearance of the titular fictional university, gave birth to a thriving community of fans who were encouraged to insert themselves into the story, and helped the series become so popular that an oldteevee transition may be in the works.

Oh, and one more thing... the Valemont Commons site deserves special notice in that it is actually a fansite. Yes, you read that correctly. A pack of loyal fans rose up to independently produce a site that is not only stylistically consistent with the official Valemont U site, they are now working in conjunction with the show producers to maintain the ARG. This is the level of audience devotion that validates everything we do as content creators. I will not divulge the names of these wonderful Valemont elves, but you might notice them in the Commons working hard as Resident Advisors.
