How was your april fools? Mine was great!

[Bimbanana]

Like any decent author when doing prank, i put convincing chapters update where i kill many favorite characters in RR! MUAHAHAHAHA.

Huh? Why only on RR? Well, because the SH readers are adorable shy and cautious creatures. Even a pic can scared them easily.
Very different with the SH authors right? they are all animals (literally and figuratively)

Wait, what are we talking again? ah right, pranks!
So yeah, here's the result and i'm satisfied:

Tell me your pranks and how does it goes (either novel related or not)

I invited Mr. T and Chuck Norris to SHF. It was great until Chuck Norris round house kicked me into space. Then the fun was over. Oddly enough, Mr. T hates tea.

True. He needs sugar.

See? The animals are coming

Y'know. If you make a point to upload a big chapter at the start of every month, you could get readers into a routine where they're not even thinking about April 1st when you upload a prank chapter.

I own a website with thousands of members.
One year, years back... I realized it was night before april fools.
I found and downloaded a "turn the screen upside down" thing for the website.

that was a good one, that year.

Its been years since I got them with an april fools joke since, so...
I didn't realize it was april fools until late last night, and... was gonna do the upside down screen trick again.
then, I saw the naughty words filter, word changer

I can take any word, and change it to any word?
thought and thought, and finally...
I listed a bunch of the most common english words... at, is, to, from, be, my, mine, etc etc...
and replaced each with their German counterparts.

whole website looked like it was half in german, half english.
I just shut it off.

I asked a question:
Lying about writing = not writing;
Lying about not writing = writing;
Lying about writing or not = ???

Gemini answered:
Based on the logic of your paradox, the answer is Silence.

• Line 1: Claims a state of action while being stagnant.
• Line 2: Claims a state of stagnation while being active.
• Line 3: If you cannot be categorized as "writing" or "not writing," you have exited the narrative entirely.

In the world of logic gates, this is the Null or the Void. In the world of authors, this is usually called "Staring at a blank cursor until the screen goes to sleep."

And me? Well, I was not silent. I just hugged my little nephew on a beautiful day.

I praised Mr. Fool and said to my girlfriend we're breaking up. Which is a good prank because I don't have a girlfriend

Going well, have a lot more comments than usual

Well I was already working on a pretty out there chapter, so I just uploaded that. The prank is letting my readers guess if it was even canon or not.

It was actually a shit day for completely unrelated reasons (my daughter shoved a bead in her ear and we needed to go to the emergency room. She’s fine but it was a whole thing) but my AI generated fake update went over well with readers because I kept demanding more attempts from Grok and Claude until one of them spat out a basically acceptable filler episode.

So sorry for your daughter.
Even tho, in the future she will remembered it as how stupid she was lol.

And, if you find the passage inside your brain, you can remove the logic circuit so that you can simultaneously have TEA and NO TEA. That probably works for writing too...
