How to use these prompts


An unusual love triangle.


Prompts

  1. Make up your own April Fool prank. It could be a fake news story, a memo you might send to everyone at work, or a club you belong to, something you might post on Facebook for family and friends to see. Make it as detailed as possible. It's up to you whether you actually send it out!
  2. Your character is either playing an April Fool prank or is the victim of one.
  3. It started out as an April Fool but turned out to be true!
  4. "Never believe in anything until it has been officially denied." Bismark
  5. April fools in the past have included made up places like San Seriffe, a group of islands all named after fonts and printing terms, and Nutopia, a place where the national anthem is silence. Make up a fictitious place based on a theme such as your favourite sport or hobby or an occupation.
