INTEGER and The AIAD series are some of my favorite works on the site. Cool to see this up.

imagine staying in a womb for 9 months, going through the hard process of being born and then just being named "placeholder".

jokes aside, your scps are really good

Placeholder you're CRIMINALLY underrated my guy, like after reading integer and the rest of your stuff, it legit makes me sad. I wish I could have the talent that you do in coming up with super out there abstract concepts, understanding what the concept is, understanding how you're gonna write it, and come in clutch and going crazy with it. Placeholder McD? More like Placeholder very based author McD, ahahha.

Shitty puns aside, very cool scips, very sick authorpage

I got here from the The Exploring Series video on 6747, which was a fantastic listen. I just wanted to say that I love the name, especially with the quote. It might be elaborated on in an SCP I haven't read yet, but it's fun so speculate on the origin.

I thought at first that Placeholder was a conceptual/nonexistent researcher created by the pataphysics devision, but now that I'm seeing the page and read the quote, I'm getting the feeling that there was some sort of redacted shenanigans that resulted in his name being retroactively changed to that with no way to undo it.

For instance, the pataphysics devision makes up a fictional researcher for an experiment and jokingly names him that, but somehow one of them gets deleted from existence and the only way to bring him back was to replace Placeholder with him, so now he's stuck with the dumb name and identity for all eternity.

idk I'm just rambling but I found it neat. I'm still mad about being tricked into listening to a 50 minute origin story to the apple seed joke but it was a fun ride so I can't complain :)

lol I'm very glad you enjoyed and that it brought you here! If you're looking to catch up on Place's backstory, I'd suggest starting with SCP-INTEGER.

The Youtube link is broken, it registers the URL as if it were the title of a page on the site rather than a link to a separate link.
