That is newsworthy. I moved it to the front page.

i hate April fools day!
This press release is an April Fools press release. J.K. Rowling is not a Smashwords author, at least not yet. The quote from her real-life lawyer, Mr. Blair, was purely fictional for he did not say the words we attribute to him so please don’t sue us, we’re sorry. The offer of 100 percent net, however is real. To qualify, an author’s book must have previously appeared in the number one position of the New York Times bestseller fiction or non-fiction list within the last ten years. For all other authors, the standard 85 percent net applies. |

"...Blair, Rowling’s lawyer...."
------ I always wondered, where the title "Blair's Witch Project" came from.... |

Drat! I was instantly excited! That is one major series I couldn't seem to find anyway, and I didn't know why.

Some things are just too good to be true, and thus very suspect on a day like today...

Hi everyone, I hope I didn't cause anyone any undue trauma.
![]() I'm hopeful that one day, it won't even be a question for authors whether to publish in e- or not. Best wishes all, Mark |

Waaaaayyyyy too many April Fool's jokes here. The people in charge should now flag this and the other thread as jokes in their titles and take down ant prank articles on the front page. I have a modest sense of humor but I'm not finding much funny on April 2nd wasting my time with this stuff. Also I suggest that these be taken down soon so as to limit the problems with spiders adding them to Google references for years to come and making real information harder to find in the future.
