Welcome to the Auto-zone. I'll play around with all the fancy formatting stuff later. For now - here's my page!

Articles I'm proud of!

SCP-5973: /Ohio has been eliminated.

[+92]

+ Commentary

My first scip! This was a lot of fun (well, as fun as writing about 14,000 people dying tends to get), and starting out with such a large-scale anomaly was daunting but I think I pulled it off well enough. The idea of the Foundation causing such a large scale disaster, and subsequently trying to save face, is something that I still find fascinating and will definitely be revisiting in a future scip.

^{This also received a translation on the Chinese branch, which is super cool!}

SCP-5491: Disco never dies

[+56]

+ Commentary

This is a short, sweet, and relatively simple one, but I’ve had a lot of people tell me they enjoyed it. At its core, it’s a ghost story involving apparitions in a nightclub, but with a dash of nostalgia and social commentary. Warning: this scip contains British.

SCP-5910: This is a true story.

[+33]

+ Commentary

I really love the movie Fargo… so I wrote a scip about it! Possibly the only article on the site in which a Mobile Task Force gets harassed by incorporeal Steve Buscemi.

Stone Cold Coup d'État - I regard these as a spiritually-connected trilogy. Whilst they have no direct relation to each other plot-wise, each of these articles deals, in some way or another, with anomalous creatures borne from (or in direct opposition to) the human capitalist macrocosm.

SCP-5797: OVERDRIVE

[+45]

+ Commentary

Not sure what to say about this one other than I had a blast writing it! Trucks with a mind of their own, human goo, and a mechanical worm that hates capitalism all feature in this tale of vehicular vengeance in the Pacific Northwest.

Oh, and there’s a Lemon Demon reference snuck in for good measure.

SCP-5820: exTERMInaTE

[+24]

+ Commentary

I see this one as the spiritual successor to 5797. It's a similarly wacky concept, with a hefty helping of skin-peeling body horror and piss-taking of American conservatives. Fun to write, and - according to several - fun to read!

SCP-5949: SEVENSEAS

[+22]

+ Commentary

Short, simple, and with predominantly humorous intentions, this was one of those ideas which just came to me spontaneously, and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Less-Good Stuff

Articles which aren't my best work (but were fun to write regardless)

---

SCP-5675: Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là

[+11]

+ Commentary

Not much to say about this one at the moment, really, but I want a commentary section for consistency's sake. Yes, that's a Talking Heads reference in the title. Honestly, I really don't like this one and I may delete it at some point.

SCP-5972: Let All the Children Boogie

[+13]

+ Commentary

Worldwide acapella party!

My sandbox: The 'Shop

Bonus old sandbox: Loads of scrapped ideas in the history. I might just revisit some of the better ones, eventually.

Other stuff

I don’t have any non-article works on this site at the moment.

More stuff about me

Researcher Auto responding to a vehicular anomaly.

Hello! I’m Auto (he/him) and I’m fairly new to the SCP wiki; I’ve read them on and off for a couple of years, but only recently did I really fall down the rabbit hole and start writing some myself.

I like my scips short and sweet, with an eye for good dialogue and fun set-pieces. Thematically I enjoy articles which deal with sociopolitical themes and/or in-universe logistics pertaining to the Foundation.

Anomaly-wise, I think I'd like to work more with cognitohazards in the future - I find them delightfully frightening and intriguing to deal with.

If I had to pick two writers who influence me, I'd go with Philip K Dick and William Gibson (Burning Chrome is my bible!)

Other things:
- I don’t tend to log into Wikidot unless I need to post something or use the sandbox, but I’m almost always reachable on Discord (@Automaton#5480) if you ever want to ask me anything.
- Always up for crit with a preference towards articles. I have yet to delve into the world of tales so I'm not sure how valuable my advice would be there haha
