== What is the SCPDraft Swap? ==
The SCPDraft Swap is a community writing event hosted right here on the server. It's one where authors from all walks of life have the opportunity to liberate an old draft from their collection, so that another author may breathe new life into it.
It's an open chance at taking part in something exciting alongside your friends and peers—but it isn't a contest, that's for sure. This is a collaboration, not a competition. There are no prizes, but there will be plenty of inspiration and fun to go around. And by the end, everyone wins!
Schedule
All dates are subject to change.

Writing Period: 2021/01/03 – 2021/01/31 @ 11:59 p.m. [4 weeks]
Wrap-up: 2021/02/01 and 2021/02/02 [2 days]
Posting: You may post any time after 2021/01/31.
Da Rules
- A maximum of 24 authors may participate.
- You must have at least one surviving published article on the Wiki (SCP, Tale, or GOI Format) to enter the Draft Swap. This is to ensure everyone gets a fair chance at having their original draft posted.
- You must have either an incomplete draft or a very fleshed-out concept to submit. I reserve the right to refuse a draft if it is found too lacking in either respect.
- You're welcome to speak with the original author about their draft—but remember, you are meant to put a unique spin on the work that only someone of your talents can give it.
- You do not have to publish this if you don't want to!
How It Works
Wed., Dec. 30 – Sun., Jan. 03 Sign-up Period |
Prospective attendees have 4 days to submit their chosen draft for the event. (But believe me—spaces will fill up quickly). If you change your mind, you may freely choose another draft to submit instead, so long as it's during the Sign-up Period.
The easiest way of submitting a draft is by pinging me (Lt Flops AKA 🗿LimpFirebird) in the #collaboration-station channel with a sandbox link to your draft. Your draft must be easily accessible—nothing secret/hidden, or in a tabview alongside other drafts, or on an obscure sandbox.
Sun., Jan. 03 End of Sign-up Period |
The draft you submitted is now out of your hands! All drafts have been put into a pool to later be scrambled and reassigned at random.
Sun., Jan. 03 Receive someone else's unfinished draft! |
The reassignments are available on this page under “Who Got Who?” Check out what you received!
Sun, Jan. 03 – Sun., Jan. 31 Writing Period |
You now have 4 weeks to wrap up the draft you received before sending it back to the author. Mark your calendars! There is plenty of time to brainstorm, plot things out, write, and make revisions. You may confer with the draft's original owner and ask questions, but remember: It is your duty to bring your talents to the workbench. Let them shine!
From here on out, #collaboration-station is where the action happens. This channel will be dedicated to Draft Swap discussion, and each attendee will be given the @Draft Swap 2021! role.
For the purposes of Draft Swap, it is recommended that you draft your article right here on the SCPD Sandbox. That means copying the source code onto a new page. This is optional, but it's easier when everything is in the same place.
Note: It is permissible to transform your received draft into a format (SCP, Tale, GOI Format) that is not what you received, so long as you think the idea suits it!
»Current Stage«
Sun., Jan. 31 End of Writing Period |
Mon., Feb. 01 and Tue., Feb. 02 Wrap-up |
So, you've taken another person's draft for a spin. Now it's time to show them what you have created! Contact the original owner of your draft, show them the link to your version, and see what they think of it.
Afterwards, attendees will come together and celebrate what they achieved! What innovative ideas have you brought life to? What new GOIs have you bolstered? What new things about the writing and collaboration process have you learned?
Any time after Sun., Jan. 31 Posting |
If you want, you're free to post your finished draft or even offer up co-author credit to your draft's original author. If the final product is a healthy blend of the original and new drafts, congratulate yourselves on a job well done!
