I am reuploading this with some changes, due to the previous one getting locked down. Before you start to write "Don't plagiarize Sapient Spider City", this is not a copy. This is older than that. Proof: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13176662/maze-of-spiders.

Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: SCP Article

Page Layout (Optional): Standard layout, with Recovery Log and Exploration Log containing the narrated story, and an in-file tale that will explain a situation when SCP-XXXX-2 instances reproduce too much.

Elevator Pitch: A doorframe capable of opening into SCP-XXXX-1, its pocket dimension when a door is inserted. SCP-XXXX-1 contains a giant spider species, that reproduce by turning humans into SCP-XXXX-2s too. SCP-XXXX-1 contains a fungus-like biomass, capable of releasing toxic aerosol into the air, that lures the subjects in further.

Central Narrative: A town reports multiple sightings of giant spiders seen in the wood or during the nights. The foundation terminates the spiders, and interviews a local who entered SCP-XXXX by curiosity. A local scientist accidentally discovers SCP-XXXX, and explores it. The local didn't find anything new, except an SCP-XXXX-2 intance chasing him down the hallway.
SCP-XXXX is secured for containment, and gets transported to Site-66. Further research of SCP-XXXX-2 instances shows, that they die if SCP-XXXX is deactivated. During one testing, SCP-XXXX instances breach containment, they are shown to be in very large numbers, but smaller in size. SCP-XXXX instances are shown to be intelligent, by guarding SCP-XXXX. Facility is locked down, and a Researcher succesfully deactivates SCP-XXXX, killing all SCP-XXXX-2 instances. The researcher lies. He is a spooder too.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: A doorframe which opens into another world if a door is inserted, containing an intelligent spider species, with the size of a human. SCP-XXXX-2s are capable of destroying metal through an acidic saliva, easily breaching if a facility is under lockdown, and if they are in very large numbers. The primary way of reproduction is turning victims into SCP-XXXX-2s too. Toxic aerosols in the air lure subjects in further.

Additional Notes: Currently none.

I presume you meant to write that infected humans become spiders too.

SCP-XXXX-1 contains a fungus-like biomass, capable of releasing toxic aerosol into the air, that lures the subjects in further.

I'm not quite sure why you integrate fungus-like into animals, but it's an interesting idea. The toxic aerosol acting as a lure seems like you're trying to suggest a cordecyps style link, the zombie fungus?

SCP-XXXX is secured for containment, and gets transported to Site-66.

I thought this object was a doorframe, I'm a little confused about how they'd just move a doorframe containing a pocket dimension full of giant spiders.

I think this entire idea seems a little cluttered and confused at present and is attempting to explore far too many tangentially related anomalies at once. As such, I'd recommend editing your post and creating a much clearer narrative structure as well as clarifying which anomalies are which.

This sounds like a okay idea. I mean to me it just sounds like "scary intelligent spider in different dimension."

I would maybe flesh out the dimension some more? What I mean by it feels like a series one idea (simple), these days people are more into more in-depth, or complicated SCPs. For example, you could make the spider society represent our society and once we repopulate too much, then we're all going to start fighting and we're just going to be like the spiders, when are back is against the wall we will do anything. Or you could do something cool with the narrative you know to keep readers entertained, you know something to stand out from the different dimension genre.

hopefully this helped you out!

Thanks for the crits, I am going to edit the thread soon!
Also, they can recontain it because if a door is not inserted into it, it isn't anomalous.
