I prefer SCP-440 for my sand animal needs.

[00:54] nx What would happen if it rained over SCP-777?
This is quite similar to SCP-440 in my opinion. Although the article is well made, this fact, compounded by some of the cheesiness within the interview (i.e. Dr. ███: What was there, █████? What was in the center?!), forces me to abstain from voting. If you make sufficient modifications to reduce the cheese, I will reconsider upvoting.
Thank you. I have changed my vote.
I liked this, and it struck me as quite different from SCP-440. 440 is animals that happen to be made of sand; they act normally otherwise. 777 isn't just animals. Animal shapes happen to be common, but that's really just a convenience. 777 is an area of sand that somehow has an immune system. It's not making animals, it's making antibodies to the invaders, and the "protein markers" that signify us as invaders are our fluids, something that is alien to an entity made entirely of sand.
Holy shit, this actually makes sense!
(sorry for the necro)
If you can fly over 777, how come the centre hasn't been reached yet? Likewise, how come we do not know what is there if our own containment procedures suggest it is entirely possible to take pictures of the area?
All in all, I am not a fan. It is not actually bad, mind you - it just doesn't feel good enough! Maybe the article should just lose the whole "strange city which Nobody Can Reach" arc (in addition to the aforementioned problems, it seems a bit cheesy and cliche) and stick with hydrophobic self-organising sand?
I do find this SCP quite appealing but to my suggestion I think you should expunge more numbers like for instance the distance described. just to make things more secretive
Gonna have to disagree with you. If everything were blackboxed, I'd probably make complaints about bad censorship. This is censored enough, in my opinion.
just to make things more secretive
That's not a good enough reason to add censorship to an article. Censoring the numbers because they are unimportant to the SCP in question and/or may negatively impact the article with their inclusion would be a good reason.
(account deleted)This is terrible advice. Excessive expungement/censorship for its own sake is one of the quickest ways to get an article downvoted around here.
You've been here an hour, dude. Familiarize yourself a little more before offering advice.
Ok, since this is an open post, I'd like to further elaborate: censorship in an SCP document should only exist for one reason in-universe, and one out of universe. The in-universe reason is sensitivity of information; the Foundation will be less able to do it's job if people know this stuff. The IRL literary reason is the same reason Lovecraft used "unknowable" or "unspeakable" horrors: whatever you come up with, the reader can imagine worse. Both only work in the right context. This SCP isn't one of them.
