━ ────┉╯⚙╰┉──── ━ welcome to 1895 london, where the city is falling apart. it pretends like it is not, of course, it hides behind the facade of the new inventions and new ideas of the steam age, shrouding itself in the smog the factories breathe into the already gray sky, but. there is something darker, more dangerous, staining the cobblestone streets and creeping into london’s east end. the police, of course, dismiss the strange occurrences and mysterious disappearances - but sherlock holmes, of course, believes there is a bigger plot behind it all. but sherlock and watson can’t do it alone. they need help, help from the forgotten street urchins of london, help from /you/… if you are willing. or else the east end may be destroyed, for good. ━ ────┉╯⚙╰┉──── ━ Want to join? Sign-up for Scratch Writing Camp July 2023 here - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/843084712/ - and put Steampunk as your cabin preference :) More information: Streets of the Scorned (Steampunk) is a SWC cabin with themes around victorian london, steampunk and sherlock holmes, lead by @Sunclaw68 as Sherlock and colead by @smalltoe (me ;)) as Watson. We’re aiming to be a storyline-focused cabin, where campers help solve crime/s while the stakes escalate throughout the session, with an emphasis on discussion and collaboration - both in problem-solving and growing as writers. We’d love for you to join us <3 You can check out our cabin-in-progress here: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/33400716/comments For newcomers - what is Scratch Writing Camp? Scratch Writing Camp is an online writing camp that takes place three times a year - and sign-ups have just opened for 2023’s July session. Each participant sets a word goal for themselves and aims to write that number of words throughout the camp, which runs for the whole month. You’ll also be sorted into a cabin, which you can gain points for through writing-related activities, challenges, and even a writing competition. This July is also the Megasession, with extra cabins - there has never been a better time to join! Sounds fun? Sign-up here: (and remember to put Steampunk as your cabin preference ;) ;)) More questions? You can find a SWC FAQ here: the game is afoot <3 ━ ────┉╯⚙╰┉──── ━ credits: ⟹ for art and desc ⟹ steampunk leading team ( and - me and the wonderful sun) ⟹ all past and present swc co/hosts! full list found at ⟹ for the swc logo ⟹ part of the desc based off whichever g/host wrote the swc intro bahaha ⟹ sun’s sketchy sites for the stunning symbols ⟹ and sherlock holmes for inspiration, of course ━ ────┉╯⚙╰┉──── ━
