Honestly, there are a lot of different ways you could go with it, but personally I like the idea of the duplicates being pretty much exactly the same as the originals... and the originals will look at the copies and boggle, wondering "Are we really this stupid?!"

My first thought was a time loop that keeps happening with only slight differences each time until the kids actually win.
"like trying to explain the flavour of chocolate to a rock"
Bulletproof: Vriska is a lot more vulnerable and remorseful than anyone would suspect, she just doesn't let anyone see that. My Best Friends: Nepeta makes a sacrifice, and reflects on her life in her final moments. I Am Not Like You: The moment when you can no longer hide from your own sins is always painful. Vriska learns this when Eriden becomes her mirror.
watch out guys tomorrow morning i'm going to pretend that violetesence is canon
just you wait
that is a promise
(I just promised you a Violetesence update HOOOO)
*e* Also crossing it over with reVisions. Which if anybody hasn't figured it out is based on the idea that everybody lives normal lives until Sburb shows up and locks you into a stable timeloop.
THAT IS NOT SPADES
THERE IS NO CONSENT
THAT IS LIKE SPADES RAPE
TROLLS WOULD BE DISGUSTED

Chapter Fics
Thicker Than Blood 01234: It seemed like a pretty straightforward moraillegience. He provided her with food, she protected him from the other rainbow drinkers. Maybe if her old matesprit hadn't gotten involved, it would have stayed that way.
Wizardstuck 12345678910111213141516: The new Hogwarts students just keep getting weirder every year.
Zombiestuck KKEG (1): They thought that the Earth would be empty, ready for them to rebuild and reshape it as they saw fit. They weren't expecting that the meteors wouldn't hit everywhere, or that they might have some nasty side effects. They weren't expecting the Infected.
Don't Press Buttons (1): As usual, John does something stupid. Only this time, the result is that he becomes a troll, and Karkat becomes a human. Shenanigans ensue.
One-Shots
Blood and Noir: I'd fallen for that trap once. I wasn't going to do it again. The Road Ill Traveled: A poem about Karkat and Terezi written in the style of Robert Frost's "The Road Not Traveled". Pixie Trails: Sometimes luck doesn't even factor in. Unovastuck-Karkat vs Throh and Sawk: Apparently, a Sawk is faster than a Throh. Faster than a Braviary too. Karkat finds out the hard way. Kore Wa Troll Desu Ka?: Includes crossdressing and magical girl transformations. Karkat was not pleased. The Lawyer and the Goddess: Vriska and Terezi are having a very important chat when they get interrupted by a certain juggalo. Prompt Dunp: A group of several short fics I wrote based on prompts, including Tavros and Bro sharing tea, Slick talking with Jade about (briefly) hobbits, and Dave finding a birthday gift for Rose. Tears: Getting stabbed in the chest once sucks. Getting stabbed in the chest twice really sucks. Prey: Nepeta is a clever kitty. Yes: In a moment of weakness, Rose consults her magical cue ball. My Little Sis: An alt!kids fic about Bro raising blue!Jade. Based off of MSB's AU roleplay. Funhouse: John really, REALLY doesn't like clowns. Or music by Pink. Ice Cubes: Bro talks to Nanna before his fated battle with Jack. INDIGO and CaNdY rEd: An altblood pesterlog, featuring mutant Gamzee and indigo Karkat. Kantostuck: John wants to be the very best. Like no one ever was. Disease Called Friendship: Karkat has had a bad time with friends. The Demon: Death sometimes comes in the form you'd least expect. Hope: Even the Prince of Hope doesn't understand it. Hoststuck: Yeah, I don't really know either. Coulrophobia: HONK HONK MOTHERFUCKER Do: Killer: He stalks in the darkness, waiting. Waiting. Awaken: It's hard, being a rainbowdrinker. It's hard and no one understands. Kitten: Hearts Boxcars adopts an adorable kitten. Misery Loves Company: Terezi gives the bad news, and finds out some bad news of her own. Tend the Living: Gogdammit Hussie I hate you. Doll: It's actually a very good thing that Vriska allowed Bec to be prototyped. Don't Die On Me: Terezi discovers a new reason to hate Vriska. BL1ND Buddiie2: Sollux consults Terezi on the best method of seeing without sight. Cold: Dave decides to take a little time out to go see Jade.
I kind of assume they find some way to live on past the scratch. Otherwise it'd be really weird how John is acting like he'll see Karkat soon right before it happens. What, did Rose not tell him he's going to stop existing in mere moments?

Well, obviously that's why they're planning to hop over to the troll session before they start the Scratch.
Disclaimer: I've never looked in on this thread before. Apologies if I'm inadvertently being rude by posing my question.
Does the latest installation of Red Dead Virgo indicate a crossover with lucidseraph's AU? It certainly seems like it. However, it seems like MSPAchan is dead. Will the rest of RDV and the crossover be on AO3?
... meh actually gonna answer here too.
I actually got the idea from RDV originally; adamantApocalyptic came up with the idea of a Dave Lalonde before I did. However, hers was just "Dave in purple and he lives with Ms. Lalonde" and she didn't expand on it more than that. I took the idea and ran off a damn cliff with it.
AA knows about my work, and she's given me permission to play in her sandbox as I please, so I use her trolls, too (albeit slightly different interpretations of them). We do not, however, collaborate on anything together.
A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday...

TG: hey so what sort of insane loot did you rake in today
EB: i got a little monsters poster, it's so awesome.
TG: really
TG: hold on dude this is weird
EB: what do you mean?
EB: it's just a poster
TG: i know
TG: it feels like we had this conversation before
EB: y'know what? we totally have.
EB: dave, it worked!
EB: we're back on earth!
TG: no meteors
TG: no dead guardians
TG: everything back the way it was
EB: i can't believe we did it.
TG: funny thing is i still have those two copies of sburb
EB: i wouldn't go and run those just yet.
TG: i hear ya bro
TG: wouldnt want to provoke any cosmic bullshit into happening
TG: plonk that disc in there bam meteor comin at ya after all
EB: that'd be pretty bad. we'd have to play it all over again!
EB: when i get my copy, i'm going to take a good look at the disc contents first without letting it run.
TG: first good idea of the day prankman
TG: hey i just realized something
EB: what's that?
TG: you know how i had spent months in the game while you had only 24 hours
TG: well i guess thisd be as close to that experience as a non time player would get
EB: yeah... we get to relive april 13 all over again
TG: were all like bill murray up in this bitch
TG: only less utterly repetitive
TG: and its not even february
EB: you would know.
TG: how could i forget
EB: hold on...
EB: dave!
TG: whats wrong
EB: the trolls! what do you think happened to them?
TG: i dunno man
TG: try contacting one i guess
EB: i think i will!
-- turntechGodhead [TG] ceased pestering ectoBiologist [EB] at 16:29 --
John glanced at the list of handles on his Pesterchum. The various trolls had disappeared, since he hadn't actually added them to the chumroll yet. A dreadful feeling occurred to him -- what if the trolls were gone?
Still, he could always try to contact them by manually entering their handles...
-- arachnidsGrip is not on the network --
-- carcinoGeneticist is not on the network --
-- gallowsCalibrator is not on the network --
John was starting to feel very bad. In restoring their world, they had specifically made certain the trolls would have a good end too...
No. I won't... I can't accept this.
-- arachnidsGrip is not on the network --
-- ectoBiologist [EB] began pestering carcinoGeneticist [CG] at 16:42 --
EB: karkat?
EB: you there, buddy?
CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.
A/N:
I know Word's not one to lie about word counts, but I had to cheat to get the other half of the joke to work.
Remove the "--" from the Pesterchum system messages and the abbreviated handles ("[TG]" and "EB:") to get the correct word count.
I THINK I SHALL STOP DOING THAT NOW THAT BOTH PARTS HAVE BEEN USED.

CC: Bye!
TC: SURE, BYE.
Of course! That is what you are here for. If Sollux really did delay his escape, then he is all but caught. The only thing he will be lining up will be himself on an executioner’s platform and if that metaphor doesn’t really make sense, then who cares, you’ve got a trail to follow before it goes cold!
Not that that would stop you, of course. If necessary, you will follow a trail as cold as the grave or even colder still. But warm trails are just so much more pleasant.
In any case: to work!
Aradia: ruin everything.
You can’t ruin everything yet! You’re only just starting the game. The best you can do is knock down the first stone in an avalanche of failures that will eventually overwhelm the game. Or is it the first one? Was everything going to be doomed even before you started being stupid? Who knows. Either way, you’re certainly not about to help matters.

[ No.
The release of temporal energy will be quite massive.
This is a hard reset. It will reboot the conditions in your universe well before you began playing the game.
You will have lived different lives after the reset. The different initial conditions will ideally lead to a more favorable scenario in the new session.
Unfortunately, you will have no memory of anything that has happened in the session you are in now. ]
I think this illustrates the problem with using the Scratch as the main element in a fanfic. There's so many untold stories there that we'll never see, that are only implied to have happened/never happened.
I say "problem", but that doesn't mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy it.

Clearly the solution is people should write more altverse fic
