It's sad to know that because I haven't updated in such a long time and because there are suddenly so many new authors on AC, some people had no idea who I was and thought that story was for real. :-\ lmao
I need to update more often.
-
If it helps any, people didn't "get" my April Fool's joke either LOL. The people on my forum did... and Julilly got it (yay Julilly!), but out of 7 emails I had waiting for me when I got home, 5 seemed to think I was for real. :(
-
aww I didn't even check your forum yet! Did you do something to your site again?
-
Yep. http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com
-
I realize I have a warped, demented sense of humor that maybe not everyone shares, but seriously... did they not even LOOK at the site??? How could you take that seriously?? On April Fool's Day?
-
LMAO!!!!!!!!! OMG too funny. You know they probably saw the words published and never bothered to look. Now the rumor mill is going to go crazy and it'll make it's way onto LD that Broken is being published. You do realize this, right?
Broken as a kiddie book, that's the best and I love the chicken with the broken egg.
-
LMAO Loved the review by Minako as well and I just noticed the chicken's leg. Did Dee help you with that?
-
Which is sad, that no one bothered to look! I spent HOURS on Saturday Paintshop Pro-ing the fake book pages! LMAO
I guess I fooled people though! Mission accomplished? :P
Did you see the publisher? :D
-
Dee did the review for me, yeah. I did the chicken prosthesis LOL.
-
LMAO aww well it was worth it and yes I saw my publishing company there woot! My first book and I didn't even have to do anything, but wait, that's a publisher's job anyway, right?
It took me forever to make my banner as well but that's because i'm really slow at it. At least we crack ourselves up lol that's the important thing.
-
True! :D
-
OMG LMAFO Julie!!! Were you talking abou tyour book? That was an april fools joke? *has total blonde moment* you so got me with that. hahahahahhahah ahhahahaha Nice!
I admit I didn't go look at the site, I just read the e-mail that you sent out to the group so maybe that's why? Maybe I should go look at the site.
hahahaha I'm such a sucker.
-
Yep. http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com
Hahaha... I didn't even click the links!! lol "Oh noes", cried Nick -- I seriously laughed out loud!
I was expecting April Fools stuff in my inbox, and knew you would be up to something lol

Okay, Kelly, I'm REALLY glad you didn't actually go to the site before sending that email... hahaha. You should go see the site. ;)
I'm glad I fooled ya, but I was like "Really???" when I read your email. LOL
-

Hm... so maybe next time I shouldn't count on people being interested enough to actually click the link? Hahahaha... maybe that's where I went wrong!
-

I was hoping that email wasn't that Kelly lol I was like nah, gotta be just some girl named Kelly...
-
ha ha. yeah, well I have no doubt in my mind about your publishing abilities so I didn't even think twice about it. Plus I had a busy morning and it never occurred to me that today was April fools day. I just checked my e-mail in the morning quickly and that was it.
I'll definitely have to look and see what you did to the site. after dinner...
-
You weren't the only one, no worries. ;)
Like I said, it's better that you DIDN'T see the site and were fooled, than if you did... and still thought it was for real... Hopefully you'll see what I mean when you check. :)
-

What's for dinner?
-
And thanks for the compliment... I guess it's flattering to think that people would think it was possible! LOL :D
-
I was hoping that email wasn't that Kelly lol I was like nah, gotta be just some girl named Kelly...
haha nope, it was me. I just suck.
-
You seriously were NOT the only one... in fact, another one just came through the group that believed it too. I posted with a "P.S. Click the link" to clear it up hopefully, but I don't think that one has sent yet. Remind me to send another email explaining it tomorrow; I'm too lazy right now LOL.
-

LOL believe me, people don't click links. I know this from when my book was published for real.
-

Aww, that is disheartening LOL.
-
wow that was a lot of time and effort for that joke!!! I thought it was great though, love the review.. LOL
A children's book, if I didn't know it was a joke already going in, THAT alone would have sold me.
-
Oh wow! That is probably the most elaborate April Fool's joke I have ever seen. I loved it! Great job, Julie!
I am now laughing so hard, I have tears falling! Great joke. ;D
-
Thanks! ;D LOL I always do some kind of April Fool's thing on my site... sometimes elaborate and sometimes just thrown together at the last minute when I can't think of anything else LOL.
-
Oh my goodness that was funny! Turning "Broken" into a children's book, that's not something I would have imagined, but the idea would certainly work to help kids understand.
Well done!!
-
LMFAO! I always LOVE your April Fool's jokes and this one is the best one I've seen yet! I loved the prosthetic leg on the chicken lmao Holy crap, talk about elaborate!
You win, hands down (i'm not quite sure what the prize is or the category, but you win anyway lol)
-
"Oh noes", cried Nick
That was hands down my favorite part of the prank. lol
-
^ srsly. if people didn't know it was a joke just seeing that, then "Houston, we have a problem" lol
lmao I wish we could really get Nick to say that and have someone record it
-
In the event that I ever meet him, I'll be sure to ask. lol
