Editorial
The SCP Foundation Official Discord is fully open! Affectionately referred to as 19cord, this Discord server is a great place to interact with the rest of the community and make friends. There are channels for general discussion, posting artwork, talking about your favorite SCPs, and much more! There is also a reading club that meets a few times a month to read underread and underrated articles, and a critique space where wiki members can get critique on writing and artwork!
You can join the server at https://discord.gg/scp! Please note that the server is only open to ages 16+, and the critique spaces require you to be a wiki member.
We also interviewed several members of the discord to share their personal experiences. Here are a few snippets of the interviews!
How would you describe your personal experience on 19cord?
It's been fairly good! I've been around since the first stages of 19cord and it's been amazing watching the community grow and flourish over time. I'll admit I'm probably more of a lurker than others - mostly just watching the artwork and art crit channels - but recently I've been more involved with the reading clubs and that's been really fun! I think that just goes to show there's something for everyone to enjoy in 19cord, and all the folks who have helped out should be very proud of the work they've put in! - UncertaintyCrossing
What is your favorite thing about 19cord or its culture?
I'd have to say how open it is. From my personal experience, it's easy to slide into a conversation and contribute if you want. Nobody ever really gets ignored, and it's generally a non-hostile environment. - BitOddInnit
Would you say that 19cord is a good place for both first time and experienced authors to get critique?
I would. No matter how much you've written, you could always use a couple of extra eyes on your work, and the crit space has more than a couple of eyes. And in 19cord, those eyes know what they're doing. - Matthgeek
How would you say critique on 19cord compares to critique on other spaces?
Critique on the forums feels more like writing a letter to someone. I feel like I need to touch on every single point in one message, and then the author responds in another big message, and we go back and forth like that. 19cord crit feels more like texting. I'll just mention one or two things in a few sentences, and the author responds with a few sentences. Generally, crit over discord feels much less formal and a bit more personal. - scalykitty
What makes 19cord's reading club fun in your opinion?
Hearing other people's views on a written piece, getting an opportunity to read stories you haven't read before, exposing people to stories you like that they haven't read before, talking about the SCP setting/concepts along with the art of writing in general, banter, etc. - Crow-Cat
These were just snippets, but we also included the interviews in their entirety. You can find them below!
How would you describe your personal experience on 19cord?
Excellent. I've always felt welcome there, and it's just been a great experience overall.
How would you say critique on 19cord compares to other critique spaces?
I think that Dagon runs a really tight ship, and the crit given and received in Deer college is effective, actionable, and clear. The critters receive the support they need to effectively crit, and the whole thing's organized quite well.
Do you feel your critique in 19cord has been effective in improving works that make it to the site?
One hundred percent. I've seen ideas come in and articles come out, and they've improved tremendously. Speaking from personal experience, although my first article isn't great, I have no doubt it would have been deleted on sight had I worked from my original idea, without crit.
Would you say that 19cord is a good place for both first time and experienced authors to get critique?
I would. No matter how much you've written, you could always use a couple of extra eyes on your work, and the crit space has more than a couple of eyes. And in 19cord, those eyes know what they're doing.
What is your favorite thing about 19cord or its culture?
That's tough. There's a lot of great things about 19cord, but I think my favorite is honestly the Deer College crit space. It's just such a healthy place for critique, which so often can become just tearing people down.
Is there anything else you would like to share that I didn't ask about?
I think that it's a great place for any SCP fan, especially those looking to get involved in the community, whether that be art, writing, or crit.
Thanks for reading! I hope to see you in the discord!
