Arrow keys, space or tap screen to read. Press the number keys to jump to the beginning of a chapter, e.g. '9' key for chapter 9. There are two so far. I'm actually going to keep working on this, despite the RP iteration having been over for months. I suggest reading the wiki article on Ptraci II first, for context. Link in Notes and Credits. Everyone's doing it, so I decided to write a book set in CCRP world. This one's (sort of) historical (for now). I'll add chapters to this project, and notify the studio when a new one is added. I'd be interested to hear your theories as to what's going to happen. I'll try not to actively thwart your ideas when I get around to the next chapter. In case you were wondering, the text doesn't go off the screen; it just looks like that, because some of it goes so close to the edge. I cannae be arséd doing anything about the formatting. My chapters tend to be pretty long by Scratch story standards, so be warned. This has been fully backed up to the wiki at https://ccrp.miraheze.org/wiki/Operation_Spider_Crab_-_A_CCRP_novel_by_Tolkienfan and my current aim, should fellow authors be OK with it, is to back up the entire writing studio to the wiki in the same way. I have in fact already done so, but the authors haven't said whether they like the system or not. If they don't, I'll revert it. Notes: Before the late 18th- early 19th century, the weird Cancionish naming convention about boys having girls' names and vice versa didn't exist. I know I own neither of the countries involved, but even ignoring that New Canciona didn't even exist at the time this is set, I wrote Inutilia's history and used to own RCM and thus have a better idea than most of what its history is like. If anyone's wondering, I am a writer (albeit a not terribly good one), but I don't usually post my work on Scratch because most of it's handwritten and I don't type stuff up unless it's a third draft (the second I do on my typewriter). This I just did straight into WordPad, though, because it's specifically for online release, and then copy-pasted into the project. This means it's still the first draft, and will probably be drastically updated later. I love 'Operation X' titles because even if you have only the haziest idea about what's going to happen in the story, you can call it pretty much whatever you like and it's still going to make sense even if the plot changes drastically. My last book was called 'Stuff Book Titles', which says a lot about my approach to naming things. Finally, about spelling: I know a certain type of reader (no comments on how many of them happen to be in CCRP) become slightly annoyed at reading words like 'favorite' spelled with a 'u' that doesn't belong there. Well, I have to say it slightly gets on my nerves reading American spelling. I instinctively feel it's horribly wrong. OK, so you lot all learned to read and write in America, so that's how you spell. Fair enough. But meanwhile on this side of the Pacific I learned to read and write with more u's and fewer z's, so that's how I'm going to spell everything. Deal with it. End of rant.
The year is 1718, and Inutilia and the RCM are still recovering from yet another blasted Silver War. Arturo Mariscos and Pete and Tracey Sake have successfully avoided the associated trauma by spending years guarding the quietest pass through the Inutilian-Cancionish Range, with nothing more than supply chains to worry about. But all this is about to change when they are unexpectedly landed in the middle of an Inutilian plot to seize power. For context on this, read https://ccrp.miraheze.org/wiki/Queen_Ptraci_II Thanks to @BellatriX_Is_ME for starting the trend of writing books about the CCRP world. This is why I made the CCRP Writing studio and the wiki page. https://ccrp.miraheze.org/wiki/Fictional_Writing
