Lost mini hoax revealed

April Fool's Day is not celebrated enough. So to celebrate I thought I'd create a fake Lost script, throw it on a page and see what happened. It ran on this page April 1. Some people within my circulation area in West Phoenix, Ariz., totally believed it, and those that didn't found it amusing. Somehow the page made its way to several Lost blogs, all of which knew it was a hoax but admired its spirit. Lost Rumours picked it up, and so did Doc Arzt and Friends' Lost Blog. But the comments were harsh, more harsh than I was expecting. "This one wasn't even convincing." "The script was clunkier than most fan fiction." "Not even close." "The dialogue gave it away. Yeesh!" "Sounds like it's from a soap opera." "Boy, that was awful."

Ouch, everyone. Ouch.
