You, the reader, have just killed an SCP writer whose work you appreciate. Knowing that their disappearance will invite unwanted attention, you begin to impersonate them. This goes well… except they'd just hyped up a nondescript SCP they promised they'd work on next. If their activity goes down, or worse, they disappear off the wiki, you're in trouble.
You now need to write an SCP. There are no notes; all you know is that they hyped their planned SCP as a "[insert author you killed here] kind of SCP". Maybe if you can put out an SCP that will a) knock the socks off the community and b) is something the average reader could think "yeah [author] definitely wrote that", you can get away with this.
So, shall you begin?
The Challenge
Write an SCP with the styling, format, and subject matter associated with a different author. This is not an excuse to plagiarize existing works or ideas, but an attempt to post something that could have conceivably been a different author's piece if they'd ever actually written or conceptualized it.
Easy Mode
- Your piece must attempt to emulate that of an existing author who is not you, to the point where someone could point to it as said author's work erroneously.
- You must work alone.
- You may not write a -J unless the author was known for writing them.
- You cannot get critique from said author, nor can you draft/ideaswap with them.
Hard Mode
- You may not, in-universe, reference any of the author's other works.
- You must use five unique attribute tags from their top 3 rated SCPs, with no more than two coming from the same source.
- You may not reference any canon or GoI the author hasn't written for (tales and GoI Formats count)
Ultra Mode
- Hard Mode rules for your SCP.
- Turns out they were also gonna write a/n "[author] kind of GoI Format and tale", too. Get on that, would you?
