The "I'm embarassed to visit AW in public right now" thread

[The Lonely One]

Yeah.

Giant Eddie C.'s everywhere, clearly visible from a distance.

*looks over shoulder.

No, dude. You don't understand. It's a joke. It's a jooooooooooke!!!

[jodiodi]

That's why I'm in my basement, alone, in the dark.

[MacAllister]

How the heck d'ya think I feel?

[mscelina]

Hmmmph. This is AWFUL. Here, Mac. Have a margarita.

[LaurieD]

My eyes! My eyes! They're melting! Melting! Oh what a world! Who would have thought such a fairly cute young thing could destroy my eyesight simply by being everywhere I look! Ah! Melting, melting... *goes out with a ssss...*

[SWickham]

LOL

-BUFFY STAKES EDWARD-YESSSSSSSSSS!

[DeleyanLee]

That's probably the bestest avatar I've seen today, Mac. Thanks.

[FOTSGreg]

Aw, suck it up, ya' bozo's. It can't be long now till the zombies bust down the door and eat us anyway.

:-)

(Oh, yes, Love the "Buffy Stakes Edward" logo - is that available in a t-shirt?)

[Willowmound]

I'm glad there were riots in London today, otherwise I'd have nothing to do at work. From a metre away, all you can see of AW right now is that ginormous banner. Shudder.

[Hesperides]

Good thing I work from home! Although now the kids are asking questions. "Who is that?" "Why is she scared of him?" "Why is he going to throw up?"

[katiemac]

IT'S SUCH A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!!!!!!

[Timkin]

I would WAY rather see a Harry Potter or an Alex and the Ironic Gentleman theme going here than Twilight. Just my two cents. I thought this was supposed to be teaching us to be GOOD writers????

he he he

Oh, I think I got it.


APRIL FOOLS!!!!

[MissAimee]

I'm glad to just be home alone today..

[Madison]

can it be april fool's day every day?

[KaysenParkerPlath]

Oh, God. I hate this website now. :(

Wait, wait. April fools. Ha.

[Namatu]

Aw, suck it up, ya' bozo's. It can't be long now till the zombies bust down the door and eat us anyway.Who told you?! Never mind. The zombies will have everything cleaned up by tomorrow. They're tidy zombies. You'll see (if they don't eat your brains).

[Ugawa]

I came on AW at college today. One of my mates comes up to me without me noticing and looks over my shoulder.

Him: I thought you hated Twilight.
Me:... I do. (Explains)
Him:... Oh. I don't get it, but... okay.

10 minutes later, and another one of my friends come up behind me and starts reading over my shoulder.

Him: Why are you on a vampire forum?
Me:...
Him: You're not one of those people who thinks they're a vampire... are you?
Me: *Eye twitches*
(People around me in computer room look at me.)
Me *Goes red. Takes deep breath* (Explains again)
Him: Oh. I was worried about you for a second there.
Me: Go away... just go away.


I hate my life. Great April fools. It really made me look like one today ¬¬

[deserata]

:D What's the shame? It's April Fools, isn't it?

I find this all hilarious...but then nobody's looking over my shoulder...

[cubed]

I small part of me died because of this April fools joke...

[Shail]

Aww. Here. Have a cookie. It won't bring you back to life, but it's chocolate chip.

[ChrisKelly331]

lol when i saw the banner I thought it was real and groaned, "not you too absolute!"

[Storm Dream]

I first logged in and I saw "Twilight Novels" and I thought OK, maybe they're just giving it its own forum...then I looked closer...

I kid you not, I quivered.

Definitely NOT taking the laptop into Starbucks today. :)

[naimas]

I SHARE your pain.

[Ugawa]

lol when i saw the banner I thought it was real and groaned, "not you too absolute!"


It took me about 10 seconds to realize it was an April fools. Which is actually quite a long time if you think about it. I saw the banner and thought it was just advertising the new DVD because I didn't really read it. Then I thought... 'people aren't going to like that'.

Welcome, AWers, to THE TWILIGHT ZONE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlG28B-R8Y)

(Yep, took me several minutes of wondering this morning, two cups of coffee, then I caught on. Duh.)

[Birol]

I might let all Twilight threads in Novels stand. I haven't decided yet.

[Prozyan]

This has been good, but still nothing compares to the "I'm gonna write my novel in l33t speak" thread from last year. :D

[TTCleveland]

Why would you ever be embarrassed?! Let the good (twilight) times roll!

[naimas]

Got to admit, it is one of the most effective April Fools Jokes I have seen. Great job. And, um, I hope I wake up tomorrow to the regular website. (fingers crossed, rosary beads in hand)

[maestrowork]

Mac, Lori and I still managed to pull the biggest prank in AW history.... :D Those old enough would remember...

[Laverne]

I know what you mean Twilight has taken over.

[Matera the Mad]

My characters are looking over my shoulder, but they all have a great sense of humor.

Damned if I could explain it to my co-workers if I had to though

Or your boss!

Heh. :)

O.k. so I am new to AW. and i really loved reading all the links about writing and publishing. Thought i had found a home. Log on today see the whole website different and started reading the threads and i thought crud, here is another loser forum. If i hadn't actually opened this thread and read i might never have come back... Good april fools joke. I'm impressed.

Never trust anything on the Internet on April Fools Day!

[maestrowork]

Was it April's Fool?

[C.bronco]

I dunno how this stacks up against last year's hijinks, but I have to say TWO THUMBS UP for Mac for taking it to a new level!
:D
Minuses: no mullet sausage guys or avatar mix-ups.
Plusses: full frontal acceptance of legislated absurdity which was taken to new heights.

I will have to plan longer for 4/1/10. Coco coco-coco.

Shhhh! We've almost lived that down, Ray!

I can't take the credit, seriously. The mods start brainstorming for April Fools Day sometime around Christmas. They put in an enormous amount of work coming up with a working idea (Twilight was katiemac's and jvc's brainchild, IIRC) then helping to design the details to pull the whole production off. :) So the Sparkle Squad gets the round of applause, not me. I just take their shock collars off for a day or two.

By March 31, they just tell me what to bring and what time the party starts.

[Akuma]

I turn off all the lights, drape a towel over me and the computer screen.

Cold sweat on my forehead. I begin to tweak my nipples. Something about this feels horribly wrong.
