Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: GoI Format

Genre (Optional): Comedy

Elevator Pitch: a list about the GOC failing to kill scps (and maybe other things)

Central Narrative: alright we are going to- wait where's scp-173- AA-

Hook/Attention-Grabber (Optional): well, it's like scp-682 termination attempt list but with GOC being goofy and failing to kill anomalies

Additional Notes: I want to know if it is funny

special notes from me: can someone tell me how to make an article editable for other to make another funny collaboration on my idea draft?

Mr Maryot Please do not backseat mod. While there is noting wrong with reminding an author of where to find the forum template, copy/pasting staff comments and speaking in an authoritative tone are not permitted as they will mislead users into believing that you are a member of staff. Please avoid doing this again in the future.

I personally think that the GOC should be serious and not kimd of a joke. If they are going to kill an anomaly they should have a good plan and all the knowledge they need. If you want to make this concept at least give them plans that should work and not:

alright we are going to- wait where's scp-173- AA-

So, let them try to kill the anomaly with a serious plan but make them fail fpr an actually serious reason.

I guess i’m not really sure what this pitch entails. Can you link your sandbox draft? I might be able to give more detailed crit with that

(If you are unaware, the SCP sandbox is a side wiki for storing and sharing drafts)

Reviewing on request of the author.

Another reviewer previously stated here that it should be serious, although this isn’t necessarily the case. Joke articles are a prominent sub-genre on the site, and it totally could work.

Now.

The draft, as it stands, is incredibly bland and, to be completely honest, unfunny. Like, what’s going on? Plus, there was this line.

"bullets that are made of aqua rocks!"

"oh you stupid NI-"

This just makes me uncomfortable. Did that need to be there? It serves no purpose, and isn’t really that funny. This article is just a mess that thinks it’s funny. I would highly recommend reading other joke articles on the site, and paying attention to how they do things. While most of them are utter nonsense, they still cleverly weave their jokes in the article while still being seemingly random. This is just random to be random. I would highly recommend that you take my advice and revise this.

Take care,
-Exi
