I have no idea what my reservations about this as a draft were. This is excellent. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the first picture, but that isn't really a deal breaker.

That might be because it's about a guy using scips to fulfill furry fantasies.
I think we might be at a cross-definition of "furry", which tends to happen with slang terms.
Yeah, it can be furry wish fulfillment (which it is) without sex.

I do resent the implication that I can't approach a subject matter like this semi-objectively just because of whatever proclivities I might have. I wouldn't assume a heterosexual man writing about sex was gulty of author-insert.
I feel like it manages the right tone, but does run a little long before hitting the full reveal. If the reader is turned off by the subject matter she'll never make it to the hook before closing the page.
In other words: it's a good read if you don't immediately toss the furry out the window.
I think this is the problem I was having with it earlier, but the fact that it doesn't turn out so well for the guy makes it less wish fulfillment and more "be careful what you wish for."

Really? that just feels tacked on to me.

(account deleted)Ahhh, anomalous broadcasts. How I love them.
This is pretty good; the only thing I'm unsure about is the incident report, but that's more of a personal preference than an actual fault with the article (I prefer my broadcasts weird and unsourced). I do wonder how the Foundation came to be aware of the guy's apartment; the only immediately anomalous thing found in the guy's personal effects would be the human-dog hybrid thing, and they wouldn't really bother to do an autopsy on a dog in that situation.
Overall, I'm a sucker for the fucked-up sitcom trope, and this executed it well. Take my upvote, sir.
As stated about the draft, love the bizarreness and late-night-TV creepiness of it all. Episode 15 and the stuff found in the apartment clinches it for me. Something about the formatting bugged me a little, while reading— but not that big of a deal. This is wacky and eerie and different and I like it. +1
I'm going to assume that the Foundation interrupting the broadcast caused the dogs to starve because lack of money to feed them and upvote.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
The broadcasts being interrupted wasn't the problem, it's that the device making the dogs sapient was destroyed in the hurricane. I don't know why the human died too, but SCPs can be unpredictable like that.
I was absolutely going to downvote this before the addendum for not really being anomalous. Still, even with the canine-human hybrid experimentation, it really doesn't grab me. No vote for now.
Humanoid canids. Remains of dogs, implying them being cut up and spliced. Sounds pretty experimental to me.
Enh… not quite, but I don't like telling people what to think about works I write. I have it that the broadcasts and the remains of the now broken scip was largely responsible for the broadcats and the contents of the place.
I'm currently working under the assumption that the only anomalous properties of this SCP are the canid figures; is this correct?
Not really. The thing about the canid entities is that they don't, in fact, exist. It's the broadcast equipment that allows both the man and his dogs to escpae to that fantasy. What the Foundation has was the recieving end of that.
If this is the case, then I don't like it nearly as much as I did before.
If it's just a guy escaping into his fantasy, it's just a guy escaping into his furry fantasy, which is barely anomalous.
If it's a guy who actually spliced up actual dogs and actual people to live out his fantasy, then that is severely fucked up and creepy.
This is why I try to avoid doing this. It's whatever you prefer to inerpret it as. My opinion of it is no more valid than anyone else's, I'm just explaining what I like to think of it as.
I don't buy into death of the author, so that leaves me with "you intended one thing, but didn't get it across that well."
Vote canceled.
Well, you can always have your headcanon for the SCP, right?
I saw it more as a "device that morphs them into humanoids" than any sort of splicing deal.
If the device shorted out while something was being affected, I want to assume that the single living specimen was the last alive before the device was fully destroyed/rendered inactive, and it was stuck in the middle of reverting back to normal.
The furry fantasy idea kinda ruined the skip for me, but +1 all the same.
I like this one. You can clearly see just how messed up the guy who made this was. I mean, I don't see how this is "furry wish fulfillment" in any way beyond talking animals. It may be in-universe, but out of universe, this is almost a condemnation of them.
One note, however. The footnotes are utterly extraneous. Just put that content in the main article. Right now, they're kinda distracting. I'd also drop the pictures.
I just really, really don't feel it. At all.
