I think there's some punctuation missing in the test log. The recovery log might also contain a few too many superfluous details. Other than that, +1.
I kinda like it. It's pretty refreshing to read a SCP that isn't about killing people. I also do see some potential with addition testing logs. Like what if you plugged a WiFi thingy to the SCP, or a video game controller. +1
pew pew pew all the heretics
This is one of those "I want to like it…" ones. It's just missing that last facet that makes it all work.
"Pre-prepared" is redundant, isn't it? It'd just be "prepared".
I think there are certain contexts where it could be a thing; "… and here's one I prepared earlier", for instance. A little redundant, though.
Actually phone chargers typically (there are exceptions) won't plug into a hub. Chargers are made with Type-B plugs, and hubs have Type-A receptacles. This is by design so that the user cannot connect a charger into another charger or into a computer (either of which would be electrically bad). Of course there are non-standard adapters which allow A-B connections, so you might want to use that.
Also, I normally store USB hubs plugged into themselves. Consider testing head plugged into foot. : )
Removal of the foot immediately ceased the effect.
Are you saying they amputated the D-Class's foot? That seems excessive. Maybe you just mean that when the devices are removed from the foot, that the effect ceases.
Really? All of my chargers have been A-Types.
Also I've reworded that "removal of the foot" part to make it a bit clearer.
What do you consider a "charger" to be?
In my opinion, a charger is a box-like device where the power-taking end plugs into a standard wall socket, just like a toaster or a hair-dryer, and the power-giving end plugs into a phone, using a micro-USB or Apple proprietary plug. Such a device cannot plug into a computer or a USB-hub.
Maybe you mean a cable-like device where the power-taking end plugs into a computer, or a USB power block, or a special USB-shaped wall socket, and the power-giving end plugs into a phone, using micro-USB, etc. In this case, the power-taking end is definitely a Type-A plug, but the power-giving end not. In my opinion, this is not a charger at all. It's a "charging cable", or probably just "a cable" since it works for data just as well as power.
That's how I see it, but I don't think your SCP will suffer if you leave it as is. Thanks for reading.
If you google usb charger you'll find a number of companies make just plain "box-o-batteries-with-some-circuitry-and-a-usb-port". They act as a universal charger for anything that can recharge off a usb port. In this case, a simple double-ended usb cable would be the proper adapter cable.
So, his 'disappearance' might have to do with the modem plugged into the device…
There could be a person now trapped uploaded into the web.
60% blood and body water loss? Anything above 40% is basically irreversibly fatal. Plus I don't buy for a second that even a magic body inkjet uses that much fluid.
I'm still chewing over the rest of it, but that's enough to garner a no-vote from me.
Odd and refreshingly non-squicky. I like it, would've been neutral until I read the discovery log, but now +1
Edit: Is this considered necroposting? Since the last post is like, 12 days old
Discussions can die, so attempting to revive a discussion after a long time is necroposting.
Commenting on an article or tale is not necroposting, because the work (unlike the discussion) lives forever :)
So if I'd taken a year to answer your question above: that's necroposting. But you sharing your opinion on the work itself: I would argue that can almost never be necroposting, regardless of the delay.
