fishing...
Inspired by a dream I had, which was probably inspired by either an ad for beer or a Burning Man thing my cousin told me about or a book about kites called "Fishing for Angels" or all...

Fishing for faeries!
Or ravers, or dogs, or angels, or whatever it pleases you to fish for...
Sport fishing is a fundamentally cruel activity, so don't patronise tackle stores for this bomb!

Borrow, buy second-hand, or otherwise obtain without financially endorsing sport-fishing...
enough fishing rods to go round. These will need lines and potentially sinkers, but no hooks...

Get dressed up in your best...
stereotypical fishing gear, stereotypical hunting gear, stereotypical yokel gear, monster suits, ballgowns, Mad Hatter's Tea Party costumes...

Bait your lines with...
dog toys or treats if fishing for dogs, glowsticks if fishing for ravers, toys if fishing for children, donuts if fishing for cops, monopoly money, bells, christmas decorations...
use sinkers if you need the weight to cast, use plastic xmas baubels instead of floats...

Cast your lines from...
your balcony, the fort at the playground, the comfy tree branch in the park, the overpass, the bridge, the roof, the fire-escape...

Pack and bring...
a picnic lunch in a basket, a cooler full of beer or beer-like beverage, tea and crumpets, fairy-bread, wine & cheese, picnic chairs...

When you catch someone...
make them come and fish with you, paint their faces, give them faery money, solemnly present them with fish certificates or cryptic and magical letters, kiss them and throw them back...

Be completely sincere at all times.

P.S. the sparkly writing page is here.

...that you want to keep...? You'd have to give them the choice, because otherwise that'd be mean. But it might be nice to have a selection of charming collars saying something like 'lovingly adopted by...', in a variety of styles, just in case...or a stamp that goes on foreheads...
