Seeking Greenlights: Yes
Page Type: SCP Article
Page Layout (Optional): I may decide to use ACS, not sure if that's considered a format screw anymore.
Elevator Pitch: Basically, it's about a woman who creates this anomalous shower that makes you switch languages so she can get revenge on her parents for not bothering to understand her. (There is probably gonna be a line in there indicating that she's doing this so nobody will be able to understand her parents just like they never understood her).
Central Narrative: Before we begin I'd like to stay that I incorporated lots of suggestions I got from critique on my last post, hence more backstory. It's going to start out as a run-of-the-mill skip… Basic containment procedures and a few test logs. The final test log results in a death due to neural overload which adds a dark twist (I might cut that out if people don't like it as it's not all too important to the story). Then the foundation tracks down the creator of the shower and we have two interview logs. First one makes it out to be the shower as a present for the woman's parents and that she didn't know anything was afoot. Second log revealed she's full of shit and that it was put together as a tool of revenge against her parents. The anomalous powers are due to a painting written inside the shower with 2 effects. The first is of course, the whole language thing. The second is an antimemetic agent which makes you forget about the painting the instant effect A kicks in. The final line is going to tie in Are We Cool Yet as a mentor/accomplice to the Woman. (Probably something along the lines of "I just wanted to be cool").
Hook/Attention-Grabber: In my (possibly bias) opinion the whole language shower idea is already an interesting item, and that will propel the reader into the main story, with the Woman and her parents.
Additional Notes: This is a heavily revised version of an idea I posted here around 1 1/2 weeks ago. This story is also still relatively in it's infancy (I have a rough draft) and I would like Crit and green lights before writing it out with all the details. Don't pull any punches when it comes to Crit.
Extra Extra note: Sorry for the dupe thread that's probably sitting right below this one, I have found out how to edit the original :).
