r/WordToANIMATION

The SCP Foundation started as a single forum post in 2007. One entry. One fictional document. No plan, no budget, no team.

Today it has over 8,000 articles written by thousands of contributors, multiple video games, a dedicated wiki with millions of monthly readers, and a fanbase that spans every continent.

Creepypasta started the same way. Anonymous people on forums writing short horror stories for fun. No structure. No ownership. Then Slender Man happened. Jeff the Killer happened. Ben Drowned happened. Stories that crawled out of the internet and into mainstream culture.

Both of them became what they are because a small group of people showed up early and started writing.

That is exactly what is happening here, except this time the end goal is not a wiki or a forum thread.

It is an animated series.

We are building r/WordToANIMATION , a platform where the community writes daily stories about characters they own, an algorithm and a team of human writers weave those stories into episodes every 48 hours, and when a full arc is complete, it gets adapted into a real animated series. Your name in the credits if your story shaped an episode.

The genre of the world is voted on by the community. The characters, the conflicts, the lore, all of it comes from the people writing in it.

SCP did not feel historic when it started. Neither did Creepypasta. They just felt like a good idea that a few people decided to show up for.

We are at that moment right now.

The people who join today are the ones who will have been there from the beginning.

Main character who is named E98 is a part robot character who has a tragic backstory. E98 is 17 years old and is neurodivergent. His mother left at birth and his father who was human taught him how to handle guns. His father was killed by zombies and was created after a lab incident in 2009.

E98 has black hair and one red cyborg eye. The other is green. He knows how to feel human emotions and doesn't like to talk to the other characters. But deep down, he wants to feel love for the other characters.

E98 was strolling down the road holding a pair of nunchucks when he went down an alley to forage for food. His danger sensor sensed 3 zombies coming to his right and he backed to the left of the wall and grabbed his shruiken. E98's body glowed red and unleashed a nuclear blast that radiated through the alley making the zombies flee. He then bled blue blood and grabbed an axe to stabilise the right side of his body.

Running off to a shop to grab food, he healed himself eating some nectar x biscuits. He then sat in the alley and fell asleep waiting for help to come....

E98 has ADHD and can sense danger from half a mile away. He was raised in the Falklands Islands, Argentina.

I hope I had a chance to design my character more accurately...

It's not too late yet, design it before we roll out our 2nd poll

The second poll is going to be about power levels, which will essentially decide our world-bible!

Don't make a mistake like me and design your character after the polls roll out, who knows, maybe a fantasy character can reign the post-apocalyptic world
