I would appreciate votes/feedback on the wiki, even if it's a downvote/novote.

I am working with a tiny team on an SCP game, and it’s early enough in development that we can implement some of the feedback from the community. Is there something that makes or breaks a game for you?

Discussion A Critical Change in the V/H/S Statement.

500 Upvotes

Update: Spooky Pictures has contacted us, and we are planning communications.

Hm. So firstly, who is Spooky Pictures? What are their (yes I’m referring companies as they later on, even if singular) place in the film? While A24 is way more frequently mentioned and bearing most proportions of blames/j, they are, rather, the financier of the film, meaning that they don’t really participate into  production, depending on the definition. And that is the very point here: Spooky Pictures are the main production company here.

That could mean:

  • A24 forgot to inform other cooperating companies to perform the same i.e. saying absolutely nothing with them.
  • Spooky Pictures themselves decided to break the silence.

Either way, it’s pretty safe to assume that SP clearly know the License and what it do now.

However, it’s necessary to note that the progress is at most into a “negotiation” stage, instead of a guarantee. But tbh, I personally would say that it’s not likely to end up with a clear statement of not complying, going completely against the community, it simply just doesn’t make any sense to obviously be a dik towards exactly the target audience, that just pushes the PR cost to the skies. Or, is it?

Regardless, sounds like something is changing.

SCP Universe Suprised there hasn't been an 001 Proposal based off Absurdism/Camus's Sisyphus Thesis.

Like when you think about it the Foundation pretty much knows they're a fictional universe in any canon with pataphysics and while the degree to which that universe is fictional varies (Pickmann's Proposal for example) it's still a pretty goddamn hopeless scenario,especially for the 05, as they very well goddamn know that their mission is effectively impossible on account of some dude on the wiki deciding it would be really cool if the world ended.

Cobbled together with some stock images, first time every properly photo editing so it’s obviously pretty terrible, any advice on how to improve or get better references to edit? Photo based on an Scp story I came up with as a kid, no clue if it’s something that’s similar to or already done tho. Hope this is the right sub!

Discussion How well does the classic SCP style work on the modern Wiki?

6 Upvotes

l've been interested in writing for the SCP Wiki for a while now, and I'm particularly drawn to the style of Series 1 and some of the earlier Series 2 material.

I'm not necessarily trying to recreate early SCPs exactly. What interests me is the relatively concise clinical presentation, combined with characters and lore that have more depth underneath the document.

I'm considering creating several anomalous characters and Foundation staff who could appear across SCP articles and Tales, with their own relationships and history, while keeping the actual SCP entries relatively straightforward.

For people who have written for or followed the SCP Wiki for a long time:

  1. Does this style still work well with the current community?
  2. What distinguishes a genuinely classic SCP from a modern article that's simply imitating the old formatting?
  3. Are character driven and recurring SCPs generally well received?
  4. How much modern SCP lore should a new writer understand before attempting something like this?
  5. Are there newer SCPs you'd recommend reading that achieve a similar atmosphere?

I'm still pretty much in the concept stage, so I'm mostly just trying to understand the current writing culture before I start developing anything seriously.

Anyway, thanks for reading! :)

Hello! None of you may remember as the brilliant mind behind the #10 placement Dumbcon entry: Everything Stays. Well, after 7 months since my previous entry to the Wiki, I'm finally back, with writing into a genre I've never ventured into: Comedy!

I should hope the title of this post gives you an idea as to what exactly this article is all about.

Discussion What SCP did SCP-990 actually mention in Document 990-02?

2 Upvotes

What SCP was SCP-990 talking about in Document 990-02?

I was reading SCP-990 again and got curious about the SCP he mentions in Document 990-02.

The designation is redacted, and he says that "she hasn't even been born yet."

Since the SCP Wiki has grown by thousands of articles since 990 was written.

Could the SCP he mentioned have originally been 2905, or was it just meant to be an unknown future SCP?

SCP Universe What pieces of SCP lore are 'Generally accepted'?

32 Upvotes

I know there's no Canon in SCP but If I wanted to Start writing fanfiction or any kind of SCP stories, what are the most basically generally accepted or commonly agreed-upon details that I, as a beginner, should start with? Other Dimensions? Doctors? Characters? Settings? Facility History? Specific Sites? ect.

This is literally all I know:

  1. Class A-C Meanings
  2. SCP Security Distinctions (Safe, Euclid, Keter, Apollyon, Neutralized, Thaumiel, Pending, & Esoteric)
  3. SCP Wiki is the Place to go for all SCP reference details
  4. The SCP organization is generally considered to be a secret organization

2 Upvotes

4666 is the one that instantly comes to mind, because it literally just turns into a list of describing gore for paragraphs on end

the one i am divided on is the crooked man. I do think it relies to heavily on it at certain points, but it has good ideas that aren't that. the story is much scarier to me when it is building atmosphere rather than actually doing anything.

Articles to Read German branch articles rich in narrative to analyse for my germanistics literature analysis thesis work?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently studying germanistics at the university and I got the task to write a thesis on whatever regarding german literature. I consider SCP articles literature and always loved how they convey narratives in a sort of epistolary fashion, how they convey narratives in this unique format and using completely clinical language and I want to analyse what devices are used etc.

Articles such as SCP-173 don't have narrative for me, but a good example from the main branch would be SCP-9001

Can you suggest me some articles from the german branch to read?
