April Fooling Around

Ahhh, April Fool's Day — it's not just a really bad horror movie, it's also my favorite holiday. Like all writers, I am, of course, an excellent liar, and this is the one day every year I have the excuse to indulge that ability

I didn't post anything here for it — I ended up deciding that, since this blog is still a new and fledgling venture, and I'm still building up a relationship of trust with you, Dear Reader, you were safe from any such shenanigans.  This time.

Besides, I was busy pranking Doctor Who fandom with this fake news report: "No Neil Gaiman Episode for Season Six," custom-designed to provoke cries of nerd-outrage everywhere.  My most elaborate preparations for an April Fool's joke yet — I created an entire fake news site from scratch just to give that one article credibility.

Some of my other favorite pranks I saw last Friday were John Scalzi's "Unveiling My Secret Fantasy Project," and Smashwords' announcement that they were acquiring Amazon. Did you see any good ones?
