So... is the post above me spam? It seems to be spam. Because this thread has faded to total uselessness, and having dredged back up is annoying at best.
As long as I'm here- amandel, I can see where you're coming from, but frankly I've decided that mostly this thread has served to spoil behind-the-curtain information, so i deleted my stuff here in hopes that it would be ignored. I promise that I'm not actually pissed at you or anything. We've modified the story sufficiently, partly in response to some of the issues you raised.
From here, I think I'm going to have the mods lock this up. It's a pointless thread now.

Hello TheBioGuy. My point of view is that all your players have been quite gracious in your guiding their suspension of disbelief since the apparent connection seemed anything but tenuous nor was it based entirely on a single tweet as you posted above.
No one is imo "pressuring the two storylines to meet" nor has anyone been "borderline verbally abusive" to your IG character. My belief is that your "conflict" may be an inner one stemming from momentum issues arising from a "7 months" scenario timeline involving only two blogs. Truly hope this helps you adapt, TheBioGuy.

OhWhatProvidence
I'm sorry this happened, but all I can think of is just have Louis and whoever is running the secondary blog keep denying the connection, players will assume it isn't related and drop it. This has happened before when they really WERE unrelated. Just keep bluffing, and they'll get the hint and drop it. Then pick it back up when you need to. Just prod the players a bit.
YOU
ARE THE PUPPETMASTER. IT IS YOUR STORY. Yes, ARGs are player-driven in some ways, but you are ultimately the one in control of this.
Part of being a PM is being able to deal with any contingency. I have my blogs for my ARG under another name, and then once they're meant to connect, I can rename the blog real quick and then announce it as part of the game. Contingency, contingency. Think on your feet.[/i]
