Oliver Maclean - Writing

SCP FOUNDATION ARTICLE

I have published an article SCP foundation wiki.

The screenshot on the left shows the first parts of it.

The critique process took several months, going from an idea phase, to a draft phase, where I got help from many people online - both experienced and amateur writers. The final piece depicts a Site cafeteria in the titular SCP universe being transformed into a fantasy tavern via a spatial anomaly.

Worlds Apart

I have created a series of characters, developed a plot and contributed many ideas to the development of a story arc for a trilogy of illustrated books aimed at young readers

This fantasy series is a collaboration between me, my sister and my father. It is set in a world where Scotland and Japan are separated by an ocean.

The Mosslings for OBOJIMA

I created a special species of creature for 'Worlds Apart' called a Mossling. Inspired by Japanese reverence for moss gardens, mosslings are sentient balls of moss with a very affectionate nature, enhanced by empathic abilities.

OBOJIMA - A D&D SOURCEBOOK INSPIRED BY STUDIO GHIBLI published 2024

Obojima announced a competition for the best creatures to be published in the book and become part of the lore for the Ghibli-inspired world. I submitted the description of the Mossling with its creature mechanics to a crowd competition in which the top 10 would be published. After months of voting by over 23,000 users it was voted up to 4th place out of more than one thousand entries winning inclusion in the book.

In this photo you can see an artist's interpretation of a Mossling which has been made into a table top for the '1985 Games' office.

An arcane waltz concept script

I am in the process of writing a full feature length film script to practise using script writing software. The film in something I plan to make far into my career if I ever get the chance. It takes place in a neo-fantasy world where magic is manifested via intrusive thought - wherein the main character's imaginary friend comes to life and goes on a serperate journey through life than he does.
