Scratch City is a book about Scratch being a city and a huge flame war breaking out, ruining Scratch for good. It is up to just an average joe to save Scratch?
I have the epilogue and chapter 1 done.
Well here it is:
Prologue:
I was reading through the Reports the shiny, blue robot brought me when it happened. Scratch City lost all rules whatsoever. And thats when the chaos began. I'm just an average joe, working for the Scratch team. I read through all the reports to see if whats reported actually is innapropriate. If it is? I tear down that project or topic. I'm not THAT high on the royalty of Scratch City. I had no control over the rules and regulations. So even as I protested, I could not get Scratch City under control.
Chpater 1:
I hear a bang. A loud one. I put down the report letter I was just opening with a small penknife and walked over to the door. I opened it a crack., ands I saw the big, red eyes. I quickly shut the door and knew what it was. A Troll.
Trolls are big beasts that roam around in these sort of cities trying to get people all angry and to start a flame war. And the flame war I just saw outside was absoloute chaos. This was a big troll, bigger than normal. I knew I had to open the door again, because the Troll would just smaswh through the walls anyways.
I opened the door and immediately the troll smacked me out of my house. I smacked into a Topic.
A Topic is a booth labeled as a topic that you can go inside and talk with other people about the topic. I knocked this one over. They are only the size of portopotties from the outside, but on the inside they are large rooms. Of course, when one is knocked down, the wiring to it is yanked out of the ground and nobody can come out or in. I watched as the light flickered out in the Topic. But not for a long time, because the Troll just smacked me again. I was lying down, staring that the sky. I knew it was all over. But suddenly, a long chain of fire burst out in front of my face, nearly missing burning me. I rolled over, trying to not get burned and looked at what it was. It was JoeLittle9. He is a close friend of mine. He hade a flamethrower in his hand and was flaming the troll.
'Get behind me!' he yelled.
I did. I ran behind him.
'Joe! No! Don't flame! Your getting him what he wants! Don't feed it! It will just get better!' I said, watching on horror as every flame ball JoeLittle9 sent out was swallowed whole by the Troll...
He wouldn't stop.
'NO!' I yelled.
'Its the only way!' He said with a grimmace.
But then the Troll knocked the Flamethrower out of Joelittle9's hand and ate that too. It slashed down Joelittle9 and he went flying into a Topic, knocking him out cold. I knew it was hopeless. I braced myself for the next attack. And it happened. The Troll threw a painful punch sending my flying into a giant rock.
And then everything went black.

Chapter 2:
I woke up. I blinked a few times, and looked around. I was in a hospital. A doctor was standing over me.
'What happened to the Troll?' I mumbled.
'Its been dealt with.' The doctor said. 'And your friend, Joelittle9 here, is okay. Don't worry'
Later on, when I got out of the emergancy room I was sad to find the flame war was still going. The Trolls are done, they started the war. Now the even more painful foes will come. Hackers, Spammers, Bots... Who knows what else?
I watched glumly as another person climbed publicity mountain. I heard him yell 'I'm gonna jump!' There were a few people trying to hold him back from jumping. Later on, he said 'Ok. I was never gonna jump in the first place.'
I decided I had to get a new job. The reports were going wild and my office was destroyed by trolls. I thought maybe a nice, simple job like a welcomer in the New Scratch Members gateway.
When I arrived at the gate, I watched as new town members came in. Most of them were Noobs.
I greeted a Noob.
'Hello. Welcome to Scratch Island.'
'Hai!1!1! I ish noo 2 dis plcae!1! Lol! Wut is dis playce fur?'
'You don't know? Its a programming city.'
'OMG dat rokx ma sohks'
I sighed as he ran into a random topic booth.
I welcomed a few more Noobs. But then, next in line, was a strangly dressed tall figure.
'Hello. Welcome to Scratch Island.' I said.
'Greetings! This seems like a great place!' He paused in his speech. 'Go to my City at Www.Spammycity.1337' He ran off.
'Oi! Stop!' I yelled chasing after.
Bots. I hate these guys. Programmed to disguise as a normal person but then lead you to there city and make you move.
I kept running. I picked up a rock and chucked it at the bot. It hit his arm and it exploded. The bot looked at the stub on his shoulder. It had wires and sparks coming out. Within seconds he fell to the ground.
I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Steelrod. Steelrod is a Mod. I was grateful to see a Mod.
'I am one of the only remaining Mods to want rules on Scratch again. There are and more Bots coming by the double these days.' He says.
'What? Who doesn't want rules?' I ask.
'Almost half of Scratch. Our people are 'quitting' this City even more now because they think we are to strict. We had to gibe them what they want. 'Course, I don't want that! Its unlike the Mods to give ABSOLUTE freedom on Scratch City!' He explained. I heard some beeps. 'Uh oh' Steelrod said. 'Spammer at 12:00'
And he left. I sighed. I knew Scratch City would never be the same again.

This is GENIUS! Are you going to put some actual scratchers in it?
No. It may come across as rude to some.
And thanks alot!
Did you read both chapters?
I read both. What if you ask them? It's fine with me!

This is surprisingly close to what it felt like when I first became a mod... it was a lot more peaceful than in the story, though! Apart from a few spammers, it was quiet - although, catching a spammer was fun at first (to me, anyway), but then I started to take banning spammers more seriously
Good work!

Chapter 3:
I thought about what Steelrod said. No rules? Thats crazy. I thought I should go visit JoshuaJ1, one of the most important members of the Scratch team ever.
I went to his office.
'Hello?' I called.
'Come in.'
I walked in.
'I hear about the 'Absolute Freedom' thing' I said.
'Yes? What about it?' He said.
'I think we should get back the rules.'
'Scratch City would go out of buisness! We give the people what they want!' He exclaimed.
'But its ruining Scratch!'
'No its not. Now carry on.'
I was just about the leave, when I heard JoshuaJ1 say 'Wait- one more thing.'
'What?'
'Scratch on!'
Chapter 4:
After I left the office, I went into the Scratcher Alleys. Each Scratcher has a street where all there projects are held. I walked into a random one to stay, for my office was not finished being built yet and I have nowhere else to go. I saw a small Anthro person huddled in a corner. A wolf, to be excact with long, dark bangs.
'Hello there' I said softly.
It just shivered and there was no reply.
'Hello?'
'Hello...' It mumbled in a high, girly voice.
'What happened? Is something wrong?'
'My brother...' She mutterered, trailing off.
'What happened?'
'He died!' She exclaimed, suddenly alert. 'A diseise...' She said, crying.
'Oh... I'm sorry you had to expirience that!'
'I- I know...' She whined.
'Come with me.'
'Wh-wha..?' She stuttered.
'Come with me, and regain the rules on Scratch again!'
'Th-thank you!' She whispered and stood up by my side.

Good work!
Thanks! I'm trying to capture all the factors of being a mod- but transferring them to being like a policeman!

Can you add real Scratch members if they ask? :3 Other than that, very good! And this inspired me to make an RPG. XD

No real Scratch members, sorry.
Sorry this new chapter is short
Chapter 5
I asked the Anthro her name. She said it was Duskclaw. I quite liked that name, actually.
Duskclaw and I walked alongside eachother. She told me of her brother, Shadowfur, and how he was a great warrior.
We walked into another Scratcher Alley. This Scratcher was called PoopyBearhfgh1243465467.
'What a weird name' I thought.
We picked up a project canister. Each project is a small, about 30 cm long tube that contains the project. You insert it into your Monitor (Everybody has one) and the project pops up on the screen.
I picked up a canister. I took out my montitor and hooked up the project to it. I saw a car driving.
'Hmmm...' I thought. 'This is odd.'
Then I heard it. The scream. I saw the face. On the scream. Duskclaw grabbed my arm and stepped behind my back. The scream wouldn't stop. The horrifying face remained, staring coldly at me. Then it was moving. A distorted arm was reaching out for me.
'No! Its just an image! It can't do that!' I yelled. How did it do that?!? It was an image, programmed to pop up and scream. And then, Duskclaw tugged the canister out of the monitor and it went blank. The arm faded.
I caught my breath. My heart was pounding. 'A screamer' I said. 'A virus one, actually. That only means one thing though.'
'What?' Duskclaw asked.
'Hackers.' I moaned.

Well, can I have one of my characters in it? You can put me under a different name. I want my cat anthro, Crystal, to be in it. My user would be Catgirl124.
