*clings to thread* I've never been so happy to have been April Fool'd in my life. xD So, for the 75-odd neomails I managed to collect so far, I'm beginning to reply explaining the whole thing. Interestingly enough, some people just want the banners to display on their lookups, even though they realize it was all a joke. A lot of people love this plot. Psst, Belle, when you make the petpage, do you suppose you could put the banner codes (linking to that petpage) in some textarea boxes? Extended advertisement for both our joke and the NT.

I've been referring those who mailed me asking for banners to you. Hope you don't mind. I was actually going to ask your permission about that. ^^ They're already on the template I'm working on. I'm done with the first draft of the page. I'll be posting it here in a while.

I don't have any problem with users displaying those banners proudly. Can't wait to see your ideas! Just for interest's sake, this is what I put up on my user lookup instead of replying individually to every one-line neomail. Usually, replying to mail is my favourite thing in the world, but I feel sort of like I'm drowning right now. xD

Usually, replying to mail is my favourite thing in the world, but I feel sort of like I'm drowning right now. xD I think Kitty's been sending users your way, too. XD You know what? That putting a graphic on your lookup thing is brilliant. :3 Maybe I'll put something like that on mine to make things easier. I don't really feel like answering any more mails right now. XD; Okies, here's the first draft of the petpage. It doesn't have a lot of information and pictures yet. The explanation for the prank is very incomplete, methinks. I need statements from you guys. And I think I'll count what you're saying on your lookup as one of your statements, Tamia. Would anyone like to come up a general apology/explanation message from all of us? My brain's sludge at the moment. The draft: www.freewebs.com/ladyariel/ntwf.htmTell me what you think. :3 Corrections (grammar, spelling, facts) very much accepted/needed. Thanks in advance. Oh, and btw, would you guys like detailed descriptions for all the published FW-related material? I also wanted to add more screenies but couldn't figure out what to put, exactly. ^^;

I've been telling users who ask about banners to ask tamia_silverwing about them, too. XD And I've started explaining that it's a joke since April Fools Day. Oh yes, and I've also put a little explanation on my Aisha's petpage and a link to it on my lookup. I think it's lowered the amount of Neomail that I'm getting. BTW, I asked about this earlier but didn't get a response. Do you think I should add this to my Aisha's petpage?

Thanks, Manda. ^_^ Any suggestions...or mistakes you noticed? I was thinking of adding statement from all of us. Anything you'd like to add for that one? :3

I now really wish I had been involved in this! I should have drawn up a comic, I feel bad for not doing so, because it worked out so well and I would have loved to confuse so many people . I learned my lesson--to get involved in this kind of stuff more often at the NTWF xD.

I haven't sent anyone anyone's way. (that was a weird sentence XD) But I have been telling people that they can steal any Faerie wars banners they can find, because I figured they would only find the ones that had been made here, and I didn't want to explain who had made them. So yes, I have been encouraging people to take them. I hope that's ok.
I'm at 382 neomails by the way. I would put that banner up, but I really want to see if I can break some record or something with this article.

O_____________O 382?!?!?!?
And I thought my flooded neomail inbox was bad. I got at least 50 neomails and just deleted half of them. I'm still getting some, but less.
I also got the chance to direct some aspiring writers here to the NTWF, which makes me feel happy ^_^

I'd estimate my total neomails at around 25 at this point, not including replies to things I responded to =3 still nowhere near Kitty's.

People are still mailing me despite the 3-paragraph note on my lookup. <.< Any more comments on the petpage thing are appreciated. If there are no more, do you guys mind that I post a board about it on the HC after I officially put it up? :3

The page looks as brilliant as your pages usually look, Belle. ^^ Sure, you can use that image as my comment - it basically says everything I want to say. xD Don't worry about it. I can handle a few people asking for banners. But don't think you have to send them to me - if you have the time, maybe just give them the banner URL yourself. Then they might be less exasperated by the time they get to me. Neomail count is at 85 for me.

Any suggestions on making it better? Why not do something a bit like I did on the petpage thing? Like... Blaze the Fire Faerie Name, personality: Nut Physical Appearance: Komo ...or something like that.
