I wanted to have a new and all inclusive writing forum, so I closed the other thread and posted the link to here. In this new and improved forum I have combined the idea's of other writing forums and my own to great this masterpeice. Some of the formatting is from Sandy and Lia, the ‘Important Ideas’ section came from Anna, and the idea of adding the prompts to SWC dailies from Jori.

TW: Major reference to H!tler, the N@zis, and WWll. If you are not allowed or don't feel comfortable reading on these topics, proceed with caution.
I wanted to start a multi-month project, kid of like Sandy. I am hoping I can finish it by the end of fall of next year. So basically, my deadline is the end of October. Knowing me though, it will probably last until spring 2023.
Finally, I just wanted to let you know the name of this entire project, reasearch and all, is called Misconception. It came from hothe entirety of the plan for D-Day didn't goe as planned. Let's get into the fun details of this monstrosity of a project!
The main theme of it will be from 5 different people's point of views. There will be one person on the beach of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. These are the 5 main beaches that the Allies landed on, on D-Day. Aka, June 6, 1944. This is a writing project, of course, and in the genre of fan-fiction. My main inspiration being the book Allies written by Alan Gratz, and D-Day in general.
Here you'll find my notes on these topics and beaches, and mainly the operations of D-Day. There'll be one quote for every beach and then another for other notes. I will update this topic every Friday, unless it's a holiday then the update will be pushed back a week. This will, most likely, be the longest topic in this thread, so if you want to get to a certain topic I suggest using the ‘Table of Contents’ above to get anywhere. If you have any questions on this, please comment on my profile.

Here are some reference maps that should help with visualization. Both are image hosted by Aadish_1759, who is apart of Touch Of Adventure. (Check them out in my signature)

Ok, so this map is from the book Allies by Alan Gratz. I wanted to provide this one, mainly becasue, it was the first thing that came to my mind when I started this project!

This map is a little more clear in the way that it doen't have all of the excess stuff to understand the book. Although, this image is slightly blurry, not anyones fault it cam like that, so the one above might work better for visualizing

Introduction ~ 11/1
Hi, my name is Erie and this is my first session. My pronouns are she/her but you can also use they/them. I love writing, reading, sketching, and sleeping. My favorite author atm is Alan Gratz, he writes historical fiction (More may know it as Hi-Fi). Right now I am reading his newest book Grenade. The books go in no particular order so you can read them all. Right now I'm really tired, and am writing this in Math so, bye!

The Lost Boys Of Sudan ~ 11/2
The Lost Boys Of Sudan are homeless boys ranging from the age of 5 to 18. Many of these Lost Boys later found that their families were killed and villages burned. The Lost Boys Came Together In Many Ways. Most of the Lost Boys ultimately didn’t want to be drafted into any fighting so they ran away. They ran away from villages, schools, etc. These boys traveled on foot for thousands of miles to get to safe camps. As their name suggests The Lost Boys Of Sudan are from, well, Sudan. Mainly, southern Sudan. Sudan was a war-torn country. The native tribes and government were fighting all at the same time. So these boys fled everything they knew to not be drafted into any military. For most of these boys, they were probably walking for months when they first fled. Then some of them might have stayed at refugee camps without anybody that they know. More went on to America to find foster homes.

Goals ~ 11/2
Some goals that I have for this session are increasing my word goal at least once, completing 10 workshops, at least 2 weeklies, and 50 overall dailies. At first when I was thinking about what kind of goals I wanted to accomplish this session I thought, This is a lot, how am I ever going to finish this? I got over that and I really want to improve my writing. I know that is really vague so, I want to increase the length of my writing by a paragraph or two, add more adjectives, and make my characters seem more realistic. I feel like I don’t have that much creativity or life in my writing, that is also why I felt an urge to join SWC. To motivate myself I am going to finish all my homework before 5 pm, then write my butt off. If I don’t do that, it’s ok, there are going to be days that I just can’t write. When it comes to writing and homework, I want to write but know that I can only do that after my homework is finished. So to sum up my goals, I want to improve my writing in many a way and do a whole lot of prompts this month.

Since Luis Left and Luis Right are one two-headed dragon the poison affects them both. They go into their minds and contemplate life with The Thoughts. The Thoughts are cringy, weird and crazy, but after talking with them The Luis’ are magically cured in a magical castle.
Scene 1
Luis Right: (Wakes Up) “Oh my god, He just has to get his beauty sleep!”

Luis Right: “Let’s go and play in the woods!”
Scene 2
Luis Right: (Picks Up A Red Berry) “Oh look, a berry!” (Eats Berry)

Luis Right: “Well, I ate a poisonous berry now Luis Left wants me to contemplate my life choices with you guys.”
Sally: “Weird Thoughts, what do you think?”
Weird Thoughts (Bob): “First of all, my name is Bob.”
Sally: “You’re no help. I think that you should be more careful when you go into the woods, Luis Right.”
Luis Right: “I mean I guess I could try that.”

Welcome To SWC ~ 11/9
“Mom, Mom, Mom, it came!” I squealed as I ran into the house. Out of breath I read the letter:
Dear Erie,
We are pleased to announce that you got into the Thriller Cabin for this session of SWC. Your leader and Co’s are going to be Soki (Leader), Sai (Co) and Luna (Co). When you arrive at the station, locate the Main Hall and go through the portal marked “Thriller.” The portal should have a maroon-ish hue with a table in front. Give the person this letter with your word count, an About Me, and your nickname (Or what you would like to be called this session). Have a great time at camp and we can’t wait to meet you!
Sincerely,
Birdi, Alba, Kat, Honey, Bakie
This is the letter that told me that I got into SWC (aka Scratch Writing Camp), a place where you could write for a month, meet new people, and most of all have fun. I had been waiting for this letter for 3 weeks, 2 days and 19 hours, but who’s counting? The next day I started packing, clothes, books, my stationary kit that Aunt Linda got me for my birthday, my notebooks, and my utterly important, toothbrush. I ended up having my small suitcase, a duffel, and my backpack that held my computer, pens, and 5 of my favorite blank journals. Also, Ace, my lizard in his portable terrarium. Mom dropped me off at the train station and I took off with all my stuff on a cart into the vast vicinity of trains everywhere.
Looking at the map that was sent with my acceptance letter, I walked until I saw it, a tall, round pillar, labeled “Pillar 14”, with a bunch of kids running excitedly into it. In my mind I was really excited, so I went for it. I ran into the pillar with so much enthusiasm that when I got to the other side I didn’t slow down to a stop, I kept going and ran into somebody. “Sorry!” I said as I picked up a clipboard and my things. I looked up to see Alba, like the Alba. One of the hosts of SWC, my idol. I literally just bumped into my idol. “I am sooo sorry Alba! I am your biggest fan by the way. I’m Erie” I pleaded, “It’s fine, I was just about to lock up the portal, go ahead. I hope to see you around!" and with a push I was through and into the Thriller Detective Agency.

1st Weekly (Unfinished) - 11/9
(The Hoover Dam idea came from my mom which then went on to be the beginning of one of my favorite movies of all time, San Andreas. One thing led to another and here we are with a scene of some sort.)
One of my characters, May, is a shy and quiet, but really smart girl. She is adventurous and reserved. My other character, Jasper, is more extroverted and outgoing. Although he is an extrovert, he would much rather stay behind on his computer during field work.
———–
“Jasper, look at these charts,” May announced across the room, eyes wide unlike her normal soft green eyes, “you know what this means!”
“We did it, we actually did it? We can predict when and where earthquakes are going to happen.”
“Here is Hoover Dam and look at those numbers, I mean there might be an earthquake there soon, and you know it. We have to go check it out no matter the size.”
“We’ll go but, you are going to hook everything up once you're underground, I am only going because you asked me and besides there needs to be a computer man on site. Ready?” asked Jasper.
———–
“Ok,” May spoke into the speaker, “Everything is hooked up. Are you ready, Jas?”
“I was born ready.” replied Jasper. It was mid-morning and there were a lot of people around to see the dam, well, that was, till it rumbled.
———–
“Jasper, did you feel that? Look at the data!” May yelled to Jasper across the comms.
“May get out of there!” May packed up her computer and ran up the stairs to the top platform and ran like *. There she was, a hundred feet away, so close she could almost touch Jasper’s reaching hand behind the barricades. Yet, too little time. The bridge crumbled beneath her, and she was gone just like that.

(The Hoover Dam idea came from my mom which then went on to be the beginning of one of my favorite movies of all time, San Andreas. One thing led to another and here we are with a scene of some sort.)
One of my characters, May, is a shy and quiet, but really smart girl. She is adventurous and reserved. My other character, Jasper, is more extroverted and outgoing. Although he is an extrovert, he would much rather stay behind on his computer during field work.

2nd Weekly
Part 1 - Warm-Up’s
(150 word limit for Warm-Up activities)
Prompt: Pick a genre you don’t write in often and write a 100 word scene in that genre, then rewrite the same scene in your favourite genre - another 100 words for 200 words total. (remember that you are not limited to genres that have SWC cabins - romance, drama, and humour, just to name a few, are all valid genres too despite not having cabins!)
Urban Fantasy: Mira walked into the dark alley as she looked at her map. Your destination is on your right. Mira turned right and continued her walk for a minute then, You have arrived at your destination. Here she was the, oh-so famous, The Ogre Tavern. To get in, of course, you need an Orgarian passport or ID on you. Whenever Mira travels outside of her four story apartment she carries multiple passports, ID’s, and many different currencies. At this point in Mira’s mystic career she knew what to have out when. As she was putting her phone in her pocket, a big security orge came up to her and looked down at this petty human of mystic.
“Hey, what’s down Oscar?” Mira asked the big giant of an ogre.
“You!” They had a good laugh then Oscar picked up Mira and let her in.
Real-Fi: Mira walked into the dim alleyway of Harlem as she creeped around corners.
You have arrived at your destination, Siri spoke
Mira got out all of her currencies, passports, and ID’s and found the American ones. As she reached to give one of the guards her money, the guard to the left of the door peered down at Mira.
“Mira, is that you?” The guard asked,
“Oscar? And is that Edward? Wassup guys?” Mira said, astonished.
“Oh, nothing y’know guarding the door to the bar and all. Trying to keep my daughter in a good school.”
“Same here. Just trying to keep my job.” Edward replied
“Here, go on in, Mira. It was nice seeing you.” Oscar offered as he stepped away from the door.
Prompt: Without planning or thinking beforehand, write 100 words as you design a character based on the prompt “secret origami expert”
“Master Chi,” Li bowed with a greeting “I think I’m ready. I think today is the day.”
“Li, you don’t think,” Master Chi snapped “you feel.”
“Well, in that case, I feel today is the day that I finally learn the art of-”
“You don’t say it’s name, instead call it Zhézhǐ.”
“Forgive me master,” Li spoke finally, “I promise I will call it by the traditional Chinese way.”
Master Chi grabbed some decorative paper squares and handed one to Li. They practiced for hours, learning so much from each other. That was until Master Chi gave Li the wrong paper. Li flipped it over to start practicing again, but found words instead of the usual blank slate.
“Li, no!” Master Chi’s eyes widened and he reached and grabbed at the paper before Li could finish reading.

Part 2 - Exploring Fiction
(350 word limit for Exploring Fiction activities)
Prompt: Use a random number generator from 1 to the age of your character. Write about a memory your character has from when they were this age. (If your character’s more than, say, 50, you can split their life into periods of 5 or 10 years and write about a memory from that period of their life instead of a specific year if you want.) 6 years-old
BOOM! A huge force threw Camille and Hugo into a brick wall. Their ears were ringing. The taste of blood and dust was almost unbearable for the 6 year-old twins. Almost. Hugo could feel the heat blasting ash and debris towards them. The fire was on the move.
“Camille! Camille! We gotta go, now!” Hugo screamed above the roar of the explosion.
“Ughh, everything hurts.” Hugo smiled at the fact that his sister was still alive. Hugo picked her up and leaned her on his shoulder.
When they got to town square, the twins drank from the fountain and sat back against it, relieved that they made it out alive. The situation hadn’t even set in when they sat down. The bomb that The Inferno Corps had set, went off. Their parents went into that building to save countless lives. They succeeded in that, but lost their own
Camille started balling first, then came Hugo. Knowing they would never have parents ago, real parents. Mack and Nico came running towards them. Camille and Hugo’s mom babysat Mack when she was little and since has become a family friend. Nico followed, he had always been nice to the book-loving twins. Now they had their own jobs, Nico a librarian and Mack a ship engineer.
When they came running to save the kids from getting engulfed by flames, they saw that the twins were now orphans. That leaves one solution, the flying airship would be the twins home, and Nico and Mack would be their supervisors. Everybody liked that idea, and Camille and Hugo get a free airship engineer and they can take books from the library without charge. Now Camille and Hugo live in their parents' airship, Camille tends to the onboard garden, and Hugo took up inventing as they grew older.

SWC Fanfiction
Part 1 - A Little Inspiration
Think back through your time this SWC, and all the great conversations and discussions you’ve had and seen. Think of a conversation/exchange that you found particularly entertaining (perhaps people from different cabins got hilariously patriotic?). It can have been in a cabin, a hangout studio or the main cabin. You don’t have to have been involved in the thread either!
This thread means a lot to me and I am so sad that it never got the proper ending it deserved. I would like to thank @anii-, @NevarYlime, @Starrial, @Luna-Lovegood-LOL, and the very one who started the thread and the whole dragon fiasco, @EmeraldPeacock. (NOTICE: To anybody that is mentioned in here, please tell me if I got your pronouns right. I did my best, going off your profiles. If your profiles didn’t have any, I just put you as they/them.)
———–
PLOT: Emerald runs in with eggs and gives Thriller a green with purple speckles. Em/Emile wants to draw the eggs. Sai asks if dragons are permitted. Erie doesn't care if they are permitted and takes an egg to the greenhouse. Luna follows the now crowd. Erie talks to the egg and decides on naming it Mago (Portuguese; little magician). Ani puts herself with the group and asks Erie how she knows about dragons. Erie says stuff about the dragon lair at home and how she won’t get to see the babies hatch this year. Emerald holds the egg so Em/Emile can draw it from it’s best angle, says the egg will hatch with or without a permit, and says the egg should hatch in a few hours. Erie starts prepping for the arrival of a dragon, and asks Emerald to hold the hatching off until she gets back from school. Emerald says it will be hard but she can try to do it. The crowd forms again. The egg hatches and LoRe happens afterwards.
“Fellow detectives,” Emerald announced, “behold, dragon eggs. I gave out dragon eggs to every cabin last session and am going to do it again. That includes my very own, Thriller!”
The egg she holds is a sage sort of color with purple speckles all over. Quite interesting if I do say so myself.
Emile looked the egg over and as if they read my mind, whispered “What an interesting egg.” Grinning, they run back to their bunk room yelling “I need to draw this!”
At that moment Sai walked past with her notebook in hand. “Wait, dragons? Are those even permitted!”
“Well permit or not it’s gonna hatch, and soon.” Emerald replied
“Who cares if they're permitted.” Erie said nastily as she took the egg to the greenhouse. ———–
As Emerald, Sai and Erie with the egg were walking towards the greenhouse, Luna and Ani joined.
Under her breath, everybody heard Luna say “Well this should be fUn.” A few people giggled and they all kept walking in silence.
“Erie, how do you know so much about dragons?” Ani asked, breaking up the silence.
“Well, back at home, if you go on a half-hour walk along Big Sur, there is a dragon lair. My family found it,” She started to mumble, “50 years ago! Since then my dad has put cameras around the area to capture the eggs hatching every December.”
“That’s really cool, you’ll have to show me the footage next session!”
“Sounds great, though I won’t be able to watch the hatching live this year. Y’know, ‘cause of travelling back home.” Erie looked solemn at that moment but by that time, they had reached the greenhouse.
———–
Erie was reminded of the cool air circulating through the all glass building. Basil, mint, and thyme reached their scents around the dome and back to the group. All these wonderful scents calmed Erie down.
“Let’s see you little guy.” She sat the egg on the incubator meant for the piglets on the nearby farm. “I’m gonna take a guess and say Lime Speckled, is that right?”
“Uh, yeah. That’s what it said at the market.” Emerald looked up, startled.
“Great, you look like a Mago. It’s basically Portuguese for little magician. I can tell this one is going to be hard work.” She said as she smiled.
———–
“Oh, Emile, you're back. Is this the best angle or where do you want me to hold it?”
“That should be good.”
As Emile was painting and Emerald was holding the egg up, Erie asked Emerald, “When exactly is the egg going to hatch?”
“My best guess would be 15 hours at most.” Emerald said as she continued to hold up the egg.
“Great, now I absolutely must get to work on the weekly and daily, so do you mind trying to hold off the hatching till around 2 tomorrow?”
“I’ll try, maybe adjust how long the incubator is on, how much light it’s giving off, and the dragon should hatch right on schedule!” Emerald replied cheerfully
———–
Once the egg hatched Thriller had it’s resident dragon, Mago. Mago lived to see many a session of SWC, throughout rough times and fun moments, Mago was always there and will continue to be there for many years to come
Part 2 - Setting The Scene
Thank you too @-redredrobin- @weaving-words and @-limeade. I am sorry if I didn’t get your features right, I just went off of your pfp’s. Same for your pronouns, I went off your profiles or the description in your word count studio.
———–
PLOT: You knock on the door to a film studio. Nobody answered for a while, then a brunette girl with messy hair showed up with a clipboard in one hand and opened the door with another. She asks if you are here for the filming of ‘Claude: The Musical’. You say yes and she shows you around. The rest of the day is introductions and the next day filming starts. At one dancing scene, a boy named Hunter was doing his usual kick into a large step, when his shoe flew off his foot. Everybody stopped whatever they were doing and the camerawoman, Milly, was urging everyone to get back into place to finish the take. She didn’t realize there was a shoe flying in the air, nonetheless towards her. The shoe ends up hitting Milly right in the face and the studio doesn't have a cameraman anymore.
———–
I knocked on the glass door to the film studio. Nobody answered, so I waited then tried again. Once again, there was no answer. Odd . . . As I checked my audition form stamped with the ok that I was in the film, a brunette girl with messy hair showed up.
“I am sorry to keep you waiting. By the way, my name is Robin and welcome to SWC Studios! I am the director of ‘Claude: The Musical,’” She said, frazzled “and you’ll meet Starla and Hop later, but Starla is our production designer, and Hop our cinematographer.”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’m Erie, and I’m the choreographer, so where should I go?”
“Yes. Well, first this is the main studio area aka the floor. This is where we will be filming, reheasering, and just basic lounging when we aren’t doing the more important things. Over to your right is the bathroom and to the left are the stairs to the catwalk. You can use the catwalk to get to your separate group studios, where you’ll sleep, write some scenes, and just do some personal things.”
———–
“Ok guys! We are going to start with practicing the scene where Claude doesn’t want to go ice skating. The one with the dancing!” Robin announced across the floor.
One kid from the cast, Hunter, was practicing his high kicks. The cast got into formation and I started saying, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-” while clapping at a basic tempo.
Everything was going perfectly fine when Hunter, who was smack-dab in the front of the cast, said “Uh-oh”
I stopped clapping and counting, the cast stopped dancing. Everything stopped, but Milli, the camerawoman. Hunter’s shoe went flying right towards Milli. It hit her straight on the forehead.

Pound Cake ~ 11/2
Pound cake is my favorite dessert of all time, even my favorite cake ever. Although I haven’t had it in a while, I absolutely love it. The one that my mom made a while ago was lemony, squishy, soft, and sooo good! I should probably ask her to make some more. The last time I had it, was probably in like 2019 or something, a long time has come. Normally, I don’t like any lemon flavors at all, on anything. The only thing that I will happily eat that has any lemon extract or flavour, is pound cake and lemon cookies. Lemon sugar cookies are basically pound cake, but squished down into flat circles of goodness. I personally, don’t know too many people that like pound cake except for, well, me! I am very picky about what food I eat, so that means that I can not have ANY frosting on the cake. It will ruin my experience and I will, most likely, not eat it again.

Thank you to the original writer of this post, @honeybreeze, for inspiring me to write this post a while back. I talked about making a list of SWC weeklies, I think in that post, before I added all of last SWC's writing. Again, anyone can use this list for reference, I wanted to make it for easy access to all of them for practice. I did my best to put these in order from oldest to newest, but I know I'm missing a bunch in the beggining. This list is broken up into sessions, unlike in the workshop list where I wasn't able to do that.

Excerpt From Adventures In Nurg:
BOOM! A huge force threw Camille and Hugo into a brick wall. Their ears were ringing. The taste of blood and dust was almost unbearable for the 6 year-old twins. Almost. Hugo could feel the heat blasting ash and debris towards them. The fire was on the move.
“Camille! Camille! We gotta go, now!” Hugo screamed above the roar of the explosion.
“Ughh, everything hurts.” Hugo smiled at the fact that his sister was still alive. Hugo picked her up and leaned her on his shoulder.
When they got to town square, the twins drank from the fountain and sat back against it, relieved that they made it out alive. The situation hadn’t even set in when they sat down. The bomb that The Inferno Corps had set, went off. Their parents went into that building to save countless lives. They succeeded in that, but lost their own.
Camille started balling first, then came Hugo. Knowing they would never have parents again, real parents. Mack and Nico came running towards them. Camille and Hugo’s mom babysat Mack when she was little and since has become a family friend. Nico followed, he had always been nice to the book-loving twins. Now they had their own jobs, Nico a librarian and Mack a ship engineer.
When they came running to save the kids from getting engulfed by flames, they saw that the twins were now orphans. That leaves one solution, the flying airship would be the twins home, and Nico and Mack would be their supervisors. Everybody liked that idea, and Camille and Hugo get a free airship engineer and they can take books from the library without charge. Now Camille and Hugo live in their parents' airship, Camille tends to the onboard garden, and Hugo took up inventing as they grew older.
