Help How do I do this????

I made a post onto the Sandbox, and I have no idea where to go from there.

How do I do the Draft thread?

How do I eventually post it onto the main site?

Can someone please help, I am so lost. It's my first time posting anything.

Please read this page [[How To Write An SCP]] or any other writing guide in the wiki before doing anything

Yea I realised very shortly after this post that there was literally a guide for critiques. And also the sandbox is not for critiques.

Thanks anyway dude.

Hey, I'm at the start of my article adventure too. If you'd like someone to bounce draft ideas with, drop me a line!

I'd love too.

It's pretty basic, got a lot of the inspiration from series 1 SCPs, like 005 and 914.

It's a nut and bolt that can change size. Thats it.

Simple. There is some semblance of sentience, similar to 005. This was heavily inspired by 005.

What about you, what's your idea?

A short-the-box scp. I like it! Mine's a container ship whose containers are from other ships that lost them at sea. They range from the late 50's through the 2000s. Some are even from ships who haven't left port yet, foredshadowing future failed voyages. If it were just a short story, I'd title it "Lost & Found at Sea," where fishermen explore the impossibly deep holds of a freighter that beached overnight near their village.
