Topic Research: Weapons of the Gods


Scp Foundation Emblem (The Breeze)

SCP Project: So while thinking about the supernatural abilities that these weapons bestow, I thought making stories based on SCP pages would be a neat idea. The SCP Foundation is a kind of community writing project where writers make their own documents of fictional anomalous materials and submit them to the site. Due to the nature of the project, the quality can vary wildly across different SCPs, but there's a lot of interesting material to read through. Here's a link to it: http://www.scp-wiki.net/ . If I chose this writing project, I'd keep it in the general writing style of SCP projects and I'd include some experiment logs too, since those are always interesting.

Ancient Arms Race: I thought that I could bring these weapons into a modern day setting by having government forces compete to find them in clandestine operations. It would detail how the world's governments came to know the weapons existed and would follow some agents trying to unearth them. I could make it so these findings end up public later, heightening tensions between nations and causing a worldwide crisis. At this point I might write a news article-like story detailing the events occurring around the world.

As Seen on TV: A comedy idea where the weapons are marketed as products for everyday people. Would detail the characteristics of weapons while suggesting activities. Nothing gets silverware cleaner than a Varunastra! (Caution: Not a toy. Water pressure may exceed 80,000 PSI. Use as directed. Do not stand in front of product when in use. Must be 18 years or older to operate. Do not operate while intoxicated. We are not liable to any bodily injury or fatality inflicted upon the user or others near the user.) Would also detail demonstrations.
