No, no it isn't.
See, if this were more than just the house (pretend that was in blue) with a bunch of bits of paper stuck to the walls, then it might be "go". But when I read this, I see the house (again, pretend blue) as it was near the end of the navidson tapes. A house (blue) that's bigger than it should be with a nonsensical changing layout, that suddenly kills To- erm, people.
We're not cool with blatant rip offs. even less so when you come in your own discussion page and make smug jokes about it.
Downvoted.
So the chilling effects of this SCP are… severe paper cuts?
Sorry, but a house full of A4 sheets of potential horror could be executed a lot better. But the writing technique is good, I'll give you that.
On an unrelated note, I was wondering when someone was going to use that picture…
Oooh… House of Leaves?
Well, I think that this could be made better, but I agree that "Angry, sharp paper" isn't the best that can be done with this. I think I'd play up more about the specific paper, for one; right now, it's strange enough but not quite creepy enough, perhaps mostly because it's been described as almost exclusively reactive in how it acts.
I like the idea of using NIMBY to evacuate an area rather than buying the property; it's less resource intensive and more conspiracy suited.
I think that's actually trickier to pull off than buying the property.
Oddly enough the thing I like least about this are the papercuts. What if the papers on the house were of mind-boggling importance to the observer? What if the danger is that you walk in there and see memos and drawings and personal notes that reveal your darkest secrets, just hanging on the walls, and the danger is in getting lost trying to tear down and destroy the evidence?
I would say to have the "paper-cuts" be an escalating response; like, you mess with the paper once, they cut you a little, you mess with it again, they drop a stack of cuts on you, you mess with it again (like trying to burn the house down), they do what they did to the bulldozer.
You could have something like: "at this point SCP-211-1 was observed to [DATA REDACTED] oozing down the walls, though some fragments were not recovered, and [DATA REDACTED] the remains later vanished mysteriously, but no reports of cleaning crews entering the building were filed. Upon examination the next day, the papers covering the fence to the backyard were found to have spread approx. 1 meter onto the grass from their previous end-point."
So, like, the house ate the people's remains and used it to grow more papers… or something. >_> You could have it mentioned in the article that the papers started in one part of the house, but each time it killed someone, they spread.
all furnishings have disappeared, save standard light fixtures and a radiator (pictured above).
No picture.
AW man, I got excited when I saw the image because I thought it was infectious post-it notes. Oh well.
