ARTICLE	AUTHOR	NOTES
There Is No Antimemetics Division / Five Five Five Five Five	qntm	All of it. Every word. Matchless. The best content on the site.
SCP-001: Lily's Proposal	LilyFlower	Justly famous, and deserves all of its plaudits. Wonderful companion piece to SCP-6999 (see below).
SCP-001: S. D. Locke's Proposal	S D Locke	Step into the daylight, and let it go.
SCP-504: Critical Tomatoes	BlastYoBoots	Probably my favourite Series 1 skip: devilishly simple concept executed with aplomb. Very, very funny.
SCP-1425: Star Signals	Silberescher	I have a certain preoccupation with Fifthist SCPs, and 1425 is a classic of the genre.
SCP-2764: The Eldritch Antarctic	Choiwel	I've been thinking about this on and off since I read it. Many SCPs try to do something with repetition and recursion, but this one absolutely nails it.
SCP-2874: DON-BURTEN EXPLOSIVE	Tanhony	A simple idea, a terrific almost-format screw. Strong influence on my own SCP-6106.
SCP-3004: Imago	kinchtheknifeblade	Criminally underrated during 3kon, this is probably the best religious article on the site because it actually understands what it means to have gods, and what it is to believe. Exceptional.
SCP-3034: The Counting Station	The Great Hippo	Frightening and upsetting, and an excellent introduction to SCP for newcomers.
SCP-3519: These Quiet Days	sirpudding	Affecting and disturbing, this SCP is a faultless depiction of failure and collapse. Another Fifthist article.
SCP-5031: Just Another Murder Monster	PeppersGhost	My favourite SCP on the site, and a very strong influence on my work. A beautiful depiction of kindness, friendship, and humanity amid institutionalism. It's a masterpiece.
SCP-5232: Roses in Her Eyes	GerrymanderBassist	Never fails to make me well up. A delight, and a huge influence on the feel of my work.
SCP-5488: Ratings That Stick	HarryBlank	A very old-fashioned SCP, but in the best possible way: takes an unusual but immediately appealing concept and pushes it as far as possible, to the delight of the reader.
SCP-5510: Universal Remote	aismallard	The perfect short-form SCP.
SCP-5733: Return of the Suburb Slasher	Dysadron	Freaky, upsetting, masterfully written.
SCP-6999: Nearer, My God, To Thee	Elenee FishTruck	Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I'll raise.
SCP-6273: The Empty Skin	PeppersGhost	A chilling horror story. The best of the HARBINGER anthologies.
SCP-6427: Night Hour Crunch	Fishish	Fantastic little semi-format screw, neat and tidy little story, a real jolt to read. Excellent.
Document Recovered From The Marianas Trench	Dr Gears	Obviously, it's a classic, but what's important about the Marianas document is how much of its tropes are now commonplaces - from the wandering log so important to SCP-5000 to the refusal to explain some of its pieces. It's a really good snapshot of the mood that makes SCP so addictive.
