History AprilFoolsDay / FanWorks

* In 2020, an April Fools edition of ''VideoGame/CMCPlus'' was released (with later builds being released yearly as separate downloads), featuring a roster of characters that leans completely into being a WeirdCrossover all around; all of them either being of the {{joke|Character}} ({{lethal|JokeCharacter}} or otherwise), {{meme|ticMutation}}y, or StylisticSuck variety. Highlights include a character called [[WalkingSpoiler Spoiler]] -- who's portrait is a spoiler warning logo, [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Gawr Gura's]] battle sprite [[BaitAndSwitch depicting her as a realistic shark]], and the character select name for JustForFun/{{Bowsette}} being "god help me".

* In 2023, the official English Discord server for ''VideoGame/TouhouLostWord'' gets a HostileShowTakeover from ''VideoGame/TouhouKanjudenLegacyOfLunaticKingdom'''s Doremy Sweet, with most of the channel names changed to reflect her.

** In 2013, [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2593/12/the-sweetie-chronicles-fragments/the-immortal-game-april-fools-2013 another April Fools' Day chapter was released]], this one being the first FanFic/TheImmortalGame chapter--which is connected to the author's other fanfics on Website/FimfictionDotNet.

* Chapter 30 of the WesternAnimation/InvaderZim fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14685744/chapters/43356698 Hey Spacejerk]]'' was written for April Fools Day 2019, and is a {{Crossover}} with NoFourthWall. Titled "I Slap Floor", the chapter has Zim, Dib, [[WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated Arthur Kingsmen]], [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the Grinch]], and [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midoriya]] in a room together, discussing the fact that the author's fanfics (as well as those written by a friend of the author) seem to constantly [[DarkFic place them into horrible situations]]. They remember ''everything'' that has happened to them in these stories, and naturally, they're [[RageAgainstTheAuthor not happy about it]].

* Back when it was still being regularly updated, the authors of ''FanFic/SevenLittleKillers'' once announced they were abandoning the story on April 1st, waiting a ''very'' long time to reveal it was a joke. Not many of their huge fanbase really thought it was funny. More of a FunnyAneurysmMoment, now that it appears they have abandoned the fic for real.

* The Facebook page for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosCrusade'' posted a status update on April 1st, 2013 mentioning that a character named "Joe the Condor" would be part of the character roster in the following version of the game.

* An elaborate joke from a group of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fan-writers involved [[http://archiveofourown.org/collections/MLFanfiction_April_Collection five stories]] published in quick succession, each titled after lyrics from "[[RickRoll Never Gonna Give You Up]]", all with the same basic premise (Adrien and Marinette being set up on a picnic date by their friends in an attempt to get them together, some time after the two have revealed their secret identities to each other), and all containing a lot of the same jokes (Marinette spilling a drink on Adrien, Tikki and Plagg going missing (usually when an akuma attack starts), a character asking why someone was akumatized and getting the response "[[Film/MeanGirls Oh my gosh! You can't just ask someone why they're akumatized!]]" and the story ending with the characters hearing "Never Gonna Give You Up" and acknowledging that they forgot it was an actual song).

* On April 1st, 2015, ''Fanfic/MovieNightAtFreddys'' released a joke chapter which involved the characters of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' reenacting the opening number of ''Theater/LesMiserables''.
