SCP-5056 is an adult human male aged [REDACTED] named [REDACTED] who was captured whilst attempting to break into a Foundation Facility upon the pretense of uncovering government experiments.

So, something that stood out to me about this document is that the foundation is acting quite cruel. Even though this man broke in, he would be demoted to d-class or terminated yes, but the actions of the staff seem overly malicious. The story also needs to be more fleshed out, as there isn’t much explanation or nudges to what’s going on in the story, why is he having seizures? Anyways, this has potential but needs work.

Why is the foundation doing this?
if you want to keep this Idea you need to answer this question.
also this idea has kind of been done on a larger scale with scp 5000

- You’ve made a couple SPaG errors. For instance:
SCP-5056 has had their middle, ring and pinky fingers on each hand, due to constant scratching which has annoyed those overseeing his care.
What exactly happened to the fingers? Were they cut off? You should elaborate.
- You’ve also made a formatting error. (There may be more errors, I’m not entirely sure.) The format goes:
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe/Euclid/Keter (indicate which class)
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: [Paragraphs explaining the description]
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
You should read “How to write an SCP.” For the link, click here
- Also, just a little nitpick, you don’t need to put the [REDACTED] in bold.
Keep in mind, these are just my opinions.
Good luck on writing SCPs!

Why exactly is he considered an anomaly? You didn't tell us anything about him being anomalous, (which is required, as otherwise he wouldn,t be considered an scp). If you are going to rewrite this article you should elaborate on it.
SCP-5262 is the recovered wreckage of MH 370 which was recovered at the bottom of the █████ ████ off the coast of [REDECTED]. At the time, the aircraft was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew when a Foundation listening post close to █████ picked up a Mayday signal from the flight. Officially, the aircraft disappeared without a trace and no wreckage was ever recovered, -19 and three staff votes.

I think you might have something here, conceptwise, but the wording is very murky in some places
All retail stores that have been reported carrying SCP-5024 are to be tracked and seized by field agents and surrounded by a concrete wall with one containment door, and to be monitored 24/7 by at least 2 field agents .
This sentence is way too long, it really needs to be broken up. theres too many "ands." I just thik the thoughts should be seperated. You may also want to consider name dropping an approriate MTF unit as well instead of nameless field agents.

By its definition, this already is Keter class. We don't know how many thier are, in how many stores they are, if theres a finite number, how they got into the retial stores. You may wan to review the object class descriptions again. If anything, finding the origin may change it to euclid.
I really like the creepy sunglasses. Its a neat twist on the THEY LIVE kind of trope. I'm very curious about a lot of things you've written! I want to know more about 5024-c. What kind of entities are they? why are they Keter? What do they want? is the XK exitinction a prophecy of our world? Is it visions of another timeline? a lot of this is exciting. I really reccomend you make use the workshop to try and get your idea nailed down a bit more. I feel I have to -1 this, because it doesnt feel like the Foundation. Please don't take it personal, I really want this to become something cool.

I feel like there's a broader context to this that I'm not getting, but I still greatly enjoyed it. This text style is annoying to read after a few paragraphs, but I appreciate what you were going for stylistically. After the contest, I'd suggest using some CSS to get a better font in. +1

I'm on the edge about this. No-voting for now.
The basic premise going on (someone uses SCP-674 to kill off fictional characters, only for the fictional characters to come back and attack him/kill him) is solid but I'm not sure what the email has to do with it — was this person also writing fanfic about their murders while they were committing them?
Formating-wise, I think you'd do well to bold < **{{example}}** > your monotype text. I think this helps a lot with the readability.
Prose-wise, this is pretty good — there's a few hiccups, a few mistakes — I'll point out a few briefly:
Farmer Goodland strode merrily over to the hat and picked it up. His cheerful face returned to the puzzled expression from of a few moments before.
Farmer Goodland stepped out of his cottage and beamed almost as brightly as Mister Sun, who he gave a jaunty wave to as he headed out to the field, whistling as he went.
Given the content, I understand you want it to be sweet and saccharine, but this is a bit much: Cutting this sentence down a bit would make it punchier.
Farmer Goodland stepped out of his cottage, then beamed and waved to Mister Sun. He headed out to the field, whistling as he went.
But Farmer Goodland didn’t hear that, or the shot that blew his own hat, as well as his head and most of his upper torso, all over Mister Scarecrow and half the field.
Considering this is the climactic moment of the piece, the numerous clauses slow it down — when it ought to pack more of a punch.
But Farmer Goodland didn't hear that. He also didn't hear the shot that blew his own hat — along with his head and most of his upper torso — all over Mister Scarecrow.
I hope some of this is useful. Good luck with the contest!

@Blackfluidexv Thanks!
@PeppersGhost
There’s a little bit of broader context, but not much. I’m going to get into that below.
I agree on the font, and if this survives the contest voting period I will do a different one, or at least bold it like The Great Hippo mentioned.
@The Great Hippo
I’m not really sure what’s considered too much editing during the contest vote, but I will implement some of the things you suggest after if this survives.
In the article the range in responses that animated shows had to 674 ranged from Looney Tunes style covered in soot to [DATA EXPUNGED], so I went for a ‘more saccharine the show, the more ‘realistic’ the reaction. I saw Snuggle Acres as a 80s/ 90s-PSA at the end type show, which is why I had the little fire safety moment as the retribution.
A little background, and why the fanfic:
Several years ago, I was a sort of junior level mod (I could remove problem content from posts and report it, but I couldn’t suspend/ban etc) on a message board for a kids show. There was discussion, fanfic, fanart, etc. Because it was a kids’ show, the people who originated the forum decided that they wanted the forums to be as ‘all-ages’ as possible. So we were on the lookout for language, ‘adult’ topics, excessive violence, and so on. The rule of thumb was “Can you actually ever see this happening on the show?” Wiggle room for stuff like crossovers and AUs, of course.
(There was actually surprisingly little trolling or intentionally out there content, usually it was someone pushing the rather nebulous boundaries, and one of the mods going “eh, bit too far.” Most people were ok with it; there were rare suspensions and even rarer bans. : ) It was a slightly more innocent time.)
Anyway, spinning off the ‘would this happen on the show’ concept, for a user of SCP-674, yes, because it just did as far as he knows, since part of the effect of the zapper is that the continuity whatever it’s used on is permanently different for the user. That was my starting point, So as far as our guy is concerned, all the characters he blew away are dead, and since in the show, the Bloom Boys tend to be behind everything, they got blamed, at least at first. His fanfic spun off from that. He’d been just a troll in the past, hence his suspension, but now he’s totally justified. After all, it just happened on the show, he saw it.
In a rewrite, I can rework the email to include on the ‘only if it could happen on the show’ part. Make that the focus. I wound up sorta short-cutting myself due to the time limit nature of the contest.
