Hello everyone, and welcome to the Scrapyard. What is the Scrapyard? Like how I've created a repository for pilots and oneshots I've decided to create a repository/archive for stories that I've abandoned so I can keep a record of it for myself. But there's a reason why this is called the Scrapyard. What is a scrapyard in real life? In real life, a scrapyard takes unwanted things, usually metal from cars or other metal consumables, and recycles it into something else. That's what I want this archive to become, a place where I can lay to rest stories to rest that I cannot continue for multiple reasons. But before I get this show on the road I do have some rules pertaining to this specific repository/archive.
1. All stories within have been declared to have been abandoned by me.
2. Stories within can be recycled by me by reusing plot points, Original Characters, etc.
3. Stories can be adopted so long as I am PM'd with foreknowledge. If you are planning on continuing where I left off, I will provide the original files via DOCX so that you don't have to dig inside the site's source code to retrieve the story (can be shared via Google Docs as well if you prefer that instead but again that would need to be discussed inside of a PM stack).
4. This will only be updated if and when I abandon a story that can be adopted. If there is nothing else here then that means I haven't abandoned anything to date, and if there is then I have.
5. If an abandoned story takes up more than 100k words then it will be published separately (if it has not been already) under "The Scrapyard: [insert title]" as to keep this as clean as possible, especially if a story had well over 20 chapters. That newly published archive story will be marked as completed but will be also marked as abandoned and adoptable in the story description.
6. The base archive will be listed as M even though the stories themselves may not be rated M.
And without further ado, may any story lose all hope that enters here, well, unless someone else adopts it.
