My name is Gerald, and I approve of this idea, and this concept.

Hmm.

Could be fun.

As a (likely) spectator, I'm looking forward to this.

I will either enter (very likely) or enjoy immensely (certain). :) Looking forward to it!

Ooh, I like this. Better start brainstorming.

*Starts scratching head for ideas.

I am down for this. I hope I am able to cause at least one person mental anguish, but we'll see what happens.

"SCPocalypse"… I assume that refers to an apocalypse triggered by an SCP? Does it have to be an existing SCP?
In any case, might toss my hat into the ring. I missed the last NaNoWriMo anyway.

EDIT: Righto.

It simply has to be a short story involving two things. Apocalypse and SCPs. You do not have to use existing SCPs, but it does help if you link it back to the foundation somehow.

The apocalypse does not need to triggered by an SCP, but it is easier that way.

Define 'Short Story'. The SCP Series was built on Copypasta, which is the shortest of the short 'microfiction'. OTOH, the classical definition of a Short Story can go as many as 20K words.

Anywhere from three paragraphs to five pages. I'm not picky :D
