I never thought I would start writing a draft, but here I am

Idea for 1st SCP

MackDaddy 17 Sep 2013 21:04

I was using the Random Idea Generator looking for interesting ideas, and on the third refresh I found this,

An article about a hospital associated with the Factory, conveying piety

I'm pretty sure as a new user I might not be able to do this, but aside from 'Factory Owned Hospital' and 'piety', I don't know which direction I wish to take this…
any suggestions?

EDIT: So far, my Sandbox page is just where I'm putting ideas for possible drafts, once I got a good place to start, I'll put a draft together.

I'm not sure what Djoric is referring too, but it sounds like a tale or something similar. On topic, we already have an SCP 001 proposal concerning the Factory, and it's pretty good, I don't really think we need another. It might make a good regular SCP if it's done right, but then again, it has potential to be absolutely horrible.

I'm referring to the fact that you can take this idea, slap "St. Mammon's Children's Hospital" on it as the base concept, and run with it.

Erm, I don't believe this person is writing an 001 proposal. They're going for a regular SCP, and since there are plenty of Factory SCPs, I don't see any harm at all in adding another.

No offense, but this doesn't really help the writer any. Please refrain from giving advice like this in the future.

Got it, sorry for that. I saw 1st SCP in the title and I thought he meant an SCP-001 proposal XD

1. This is not a 001 proposal. What made you think that as a 1st time author I would make a 001 proposal of all things?

It might make a good regular SCP if it's done right,

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO!
I don't think I said anywhere the words "001" or "proposal" anywhere in my question, or sandbox.

It might make a good regular SCP if it's done right,

Isn't that 99% of SCP Ideas

MackDaddy, please calm down. This is the second time a staff member has asked you to do so.

Please focus on the draft itself, which is the focus of this thread. If you have a personal issue with the critique others have given, take it to PMs.

It's not a personal issue as much as it is a tendency to overreact in disbelief, it happens due to my experiences on YouTube comments, which makes it something I am used to doing, I'm trying to calm down, but it's not very easy to do since I tend to facepalm every 30 minutes I'm on the internet.

I'm gonna focus on the draft now

YouTube comments

:|

There is no conceivable place where emulating YT comments is a good or appropriate thing.

-As evidenced by this thread and me

I also happen to have the self-titled
'Charles Dicken's Syndrome' where I
post waay more words than needed to
make a point

_{okay, now back to the draft}

Suffice to say, this is not YouTube. This is a collaborative writing website, with high standards. Keep your comments focused accordingly and refrain from overreacting unnecessarily.

As per the site rules and required reading, please don't respond to staff posts if you're not staff.

Djoric is giving you an idea to write on. St. Mammon's Children's Hospital is his suggestion to you. It does not exist yet, because you may be the one to write it.

*facepalms
see?

Anyway, that's a cool idea! But, I need to find out who this St. Mammon is and what makes him so special.

EDIT: *facepalms second time
no wonder my brother calls me an idiot(:
