Yeah. I really don't have much to say.
Just… do whatever you like with it.

So we're gonna hire a bunch of people to write random "creepy" stuff and hope some of it resembles our original articles.

I didn't know the Foundation put that much faith in the whole "monkeys at typewriters" thought experiment.

That being said, the story interests me in a way I can't quite think of…

I'd, eh, maybe get rid of the preface. I dunno what that'd say to posterity.

But I like the rest of it enough to attach my name to an upvote. Though I'm very sleepy.

This is, in my mind, how you do over-the-top. I laughed.

And thus, the true face of SCP-001, now known as "indistinct source of all knowledge", is revealed…

I remember this in chat and I still… I… +1

I already thought this was how the Foundation wrote their reports. There goes my innocence. ; )

Very amusing. Silly, but amusing. The whole idea of getting people to write entirely in absentia from the object they're writing about is crazy, but maybe just crazy enough to work.

"Have you tried breaking in through the back way?"

"Both my best computing skills and homosexuality have both failed us, sir."

Damn near killed me.

Upvoted.

This isn't breaking suspension of disbelief, it's feeding it enough SCP-420-J to trip balls for a month. And yet it makes perfect sense; a real-life Foundation probably would try this as a disinformation campaign.
