If we're going to go ham on this, can we all just go ahead and write stories with various successors ranging from another faerie to a pet rock?
Like, we'd all do stuff related to the abdication but it'd show up as a prank in how no one's agreeing on who will replace Fyora.
Also, something about the crown for the new heir, how we need a new one for celebration and/or it's gone missing oops.

Practical me: Let's put in someone with leadership experience in like Aethia, Siyana, or Psellia. Not so practical me: Let's put in some random faerie like Casandia or Kaia. Or a pet like Brynn. Crazy me: A Kadoatie
Other crazy idea: Darigan or Altador annex Faerieland.
Side note: How rich is Fyora? The Hidden Tower funds are supposedly raised for the kingdom but she has to take a cut right? I wonder how much her cut is.

Yeees I really like the idea of pieces that all seem to be about the same site event, except all wildly different in how the abdication is actually happening. And there's nothing like a good old vanished crown incident. =D
Geo, I believe Fyora is as rich as the plot demands. If she needs something quickly, she can always throw a quest at someone! (If you have trouble picking a successor, surely someone else can write a piece featuring your second choice, so that they're also in the collab.)

I'm probably picking an experienced faerie. I often have trouble trying to write my crazier ideas.

Oooh yes I’m excited for a Fyora abdicates kind of theme >w> For the idea I have, I probably won’t need to name drop who succeeds her (and if I do it may just be a small visual gag), so it’ll probably be left open on my end :3 I like the idea of having multiple different successors for each story, makes for an even more confusing trail to follow for those out of the know haha!

I think I have something in mind to write about this upcoming prank. It's probably going to be a retrospective interview, but I'm not entirely certain yet. One thing I will confirm is if I do write the article, I will not name anyone as Fyora's successor, to keep things ambiguous.

Should Fyora appoint someone who sits on the Altadorian council, I wonder if King Altador would want Fyora to sit on the council as the first non-founding member to do so. This would also sort of work with the leader swap theme.

Question: Did we want to open this up to the Neoboards, or keep this theme to the forum? We did go out and advertise last year, but not in years prior, so I could see it going either way.

I think we might want to advertise again? That way we could get more potential writers? Besides, I think some of the ideas originated from the Neoboards.

It can't help to advertise. I'd say go for it.
Man, I'm so out of the NT scene in general that I'm just going to fall back on an old character I wrote years ago and hope I can still find her voice. It's actually a NQII NPC HAHAHA boy some things never change, Kat.

Waiiiit.... I've had a semi-related series idea for a while now about Fyora getting sick and then Jhudora is named her temporary successor... I might see if I can crank this out in like two weeks.

I've updated the opening post. The new date for the collab is April 3rd. This will give us a bit more space between this and the Neovian Gothic collab.
I would say to submit after March 20th (The Neovian Gothic Collab) and before March 27th (one week before the collab) For optimal coverage.
Short stories, however, are advised to submit earlier, as those take a long time to get through.
Put "For April Fools Issue" in the title or comments, so the editor is more likely to see it.

I've sketched the comic for NT April Fools: (Spoilers for an Upcoming Dinner with the Scarlets comic.) I still need to comic up with a title, so I'm willing to hear them if you have ideas.

June Scarlet- Is there any way you can update your post to see who is participating in this year's prank (either from here or the Neoboards)?

June Scarlet- Is there any way you can update your post to see who is participating in this year's prank (either from here or the Neoboards)? People have expressed interest on the neoboards, but the way the thread is set up, I can't particularly tell if they're interested in Neovian Gothic or April Fools without them filling out the form on www.neopets.com/~Cleopatra275 Which no one has. People on the forum have expressed ideas and interest, but I'm not sure anyone's fully committed or not. What would be a huge help is if everyone filledl out this form here: So I don't have to second guess if I should add you to the list or not. I could have been more on the ball about adding people who expressed interest, though, you're right. I kind of forgot about bookkeeping. Worse comes to worse, it's just a nice surprise who's participating. I doubt we're going to send reminder neomails anyway, we haven't been advertising that far in advance to need them.
