In "specs makes dumb mistakes theater," apparently there is a function to move the page. I deleted my entire contest entry and reposts. Whoops.
Dude, you're supposed to rename the URL! Now we have to find this from the sea of [ACCESS DENIED] and get back the votes!
In the contest thread, did you stake a slot? If you did, the admins would've put in the nickname on your behalf (as they did with everyone else).
Regardless, just ask an admin/mod on chat (or via PM) to edit in it on your behalf.
You need to replace your image credits (and links) on this page as well.
Right, sorry!
The file is from wikicommons, which means I can use it as long as I tell you all that they made it and not me, and that they do not endorse or support this SCP.
Re +1. As I said before, this hits my personal nightmare very well, as I have Crohn's disease.
I would recommend more frequent paragraphing, but I upvoted anyway.
+1 in my book. The body horror imagery and parasitic nature of SCP-3690 make it a very compelling read. Just image that thing and feeling it move within you, and image what it would be like when it left you and found a new person to live in. Propagating such thoughts are key to this SCP's effectiveness in my opinion.
A +1, for the disgusting imagery and the terrifying reality of the skip, but I don't understand one thing. Why would the foundation continue to infect people with the parasite when they are completely capable of killing it and it is a parasite that will inevitably kill people or heavily debilitate them for the rest of their days?
Holy crap. This is terrifying both because it's a viscera replacing tube worm that steals your blood and also because of the Foundation's methods of attempted study and containment. I think the Ethics Committee might have a better time of getting Research to listen if they pointed out the economical and logistical benefits of taking their advice.
Would it be easier or cheaper to keep the D-class host anesthetized, intubated, and/or on IV drip than to give them barely effective pain meds and have extra supervision to prevent suicide? Or is this actually the better option due to other complications?
+1
I'm not sure how I feel on this. It's well researched and rather personal, yet it's mired by obtuse technical writing and the emotional punch is really blunted by just how melodramatic the D-class log is.
I think I'm novoting this.
No signature defined.
as it turns out, when the immune system leaves it alone, it turns out to be sentient and have higher intelligence than the host.
so when i'm not sure what to do, i just go with what my gut says
