Stop What You Are Doing

A "Stop What You Are Doing" (SWYAD) is an event on SBC that was created by Dragiiin on July 20th, 2010. These consist of switching your current name and avatar into something that fits the theme of the event. Members roleplay as their chosen name on either the forums or Discord. These originally were held at random times without a set schedule, but as time went on, they became regularly intertwined with SBC's events. Members sometimes had their own SWYADs for fun (such as a Blue's Clues one from spring 2013), but these were not officially endorsed by the SBC staff. Here has been the theme for each official SWYAD so far and when they were held:
