i have 2 scp ideas ind i would like it if you would give me feedback now im not writing the entire article or better said it wont be an exact one of the one i will be posting if this gets popular enough also dont mind any spelling errors those will be fixed if it is to ever go up and one last thing can somone give me a list of open scp numbers or a thread cuase i cant find any

+ show block

first scp: The Orb scp[not yet decided] is a glowing white orb originally 3 inches in diameter but has grown to one foot and 3 inches since discovery. scp[NYD] was found in a tunnel deep in the amazon rain forest date being [REDACTED]. the scp itself is quite harmless as it causes no damage unless exposed organic matter is within 3 feet of it as our first collection team learned the hard way. when brought back in hazmat suits it was learned that it always floats 5 feet above the ground and when knocked around showing no signs of friction or stopping until it bounces off an object at which it will slowley lose speed, and despite using heavy machinery to pull it down below five feet and dropping it from a higth of 25 feet it shows no sign of going below five feet all though abserved to always float five feet above the floor as if dropped in the sea would most likely drop until five feet above sea level. scp[NYD] has the anomolous effect of when three fet of any organic matter black ooze like fungi will absorb it until it is a pile of the substance on the floor at which it it will try to reach for the orb since it is five feet above the ground it will scream and cry while trying its best to reach it. when scp[NYD]-2 was helped to grab it as soon as it made contact it became extremely violent hissing and gnarling at d-class. once the d-class had left and it was calm in the span of 2 minutes it was completely absorbed into tthe orb and after further examination had grown another foot though no one had seen it grow.

scp number 2 (imma keep it breif since that was alot i will try to slim the explanation down alot if i were to post it) SCP[NYD] is a small toy robot that looks to be a crank toy that walks around and is inactive until around somone it deems to have done something morally wrong which includes murder rape kidnapping and torture to name a few. when somone it deems to be a "sinner" or countless other names it will become active walking around in a circle and anyone around the robot that it deems a sinner will be uncontroablly attracted to touch it. once contact is made the point of contact is seen to have root like wires run up the persons arm and enter the body through there neck. for a few minutes nothing will happen but eventually the person will start to spew out chunks of muscle organs and arteries and eventually entire organs like lungs heart and in one case the entire intestanale tract. which then the will colappse on the floor and deflate like a balloon after which the skins will boil off and the remaining bones will turn to dust showing no signs of ever being filled with bone marrow or anything else that should be in there. once the bones have turned to dust scp[NYD] will scoop it up and stick it in a opening stomach compartment after which a little jingl will play and a robotic voice will recite a phrase its favorite are Burn in hell sinner repent you hethean or suffer containment procedures are being thought of so dont worry i just want some feedback on whether these ideas are go and or how i should format a article

I've looked through the forum about how to write a critique/IRC post for scp ideas and i still don't get it. There's this copy and paste list i got on my first post because it wasn't formatted correctly, and after looking at it and the link given which takes you to a page about how to format basically has the same thing on it. I don't know if I'm supposed follow the exact format as it says stuff like genre paper type etc. but some stuff i also just don't understand can someone please simplify this for me or just tell me exactly what and how i am supposed to go about this

Out of curiosity, what grade are you currently in at school? Most successful SCP authors have at least some college-level writing experience, since clinical tone is typically covered in college. If you haven’t encountered clinical tone or writing analytical essays in school yet, it can be hard to write an article that possesses the unique "flash fiction as written by a professional scientist" tone the site audience is looking for. If you tell us where you are academically, we can recommend some materials you can study up on, such as these college resources for clinical tone:

I am a junior in high school and I have done things like this before as stated flash fiction I am quite good at it, it’s just kinda hard for me to understand the copy and paste format they sent me and I was hoping somone could simplify for me so don’t worry I’m fine in that area just don’t fully understand how to write it

If you're a junior in high school, then why do you have the literacy skills equivalent to that of an elementary school student, or at least in early middle school, no offense. Copy is done with CTRL (or ⌘ if on Mac) and C at the same time, and Paste is done with CTRL/⌘ with V. You can then edit the words you would like, and not just use the template yourself.

P.S.: I am a freshman in high school, and generally have writing skills equivalent of one, and I'm not perfect either. Please, just try with your articles.

To be completely honest, your forum post typing reads more like that of a middle schooler, rather than a high school upperclassman. If you want community members to believe you're in high school, ideally punctuate your posts properly and use more than just one run-on sentence.

If you're unsure of how to use the new template, have you taken a look at the dozens of other threads that follow it, as an example? What do you need help with to understand the template?
