Okay, so all of the chats helped me with this, but mostly Wanderer's Library. I realize this is really out there so… hope you enjoy it.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1826.
Mercenaries and hunters here built an adequate arena here…
Sounds clunky.
…pulls out an object resembling an AK-47 from behind it, seemingly from under its skirt.
I'm not entirely sure if it just resembles an AK-47 or if it actually is one, or where it was pulled from.
…the gun it was wielding,…
Not sure if tone. "the gun it had produced"? Wielding doesn't sound entirely neutral.
…the death was mostly caused by impact with the ground.
Just mostly?
05 EYES ONLY
O5, not naught. And it seems weird to me that these 13 that's canon, right? 13 O5s? folks would need a note among themselves on this one SCP that no researchers are allowed to read.
No vote and now I'm going to sleep. I prolly missed some stuff but I need to wake up tomorrow.
Interesting. I feel like there's one or two fairies puppeteering the whole operation. The Foundation didn't kill them, it just broke down the operation and made them retreat back to the fairy realm.
A couple questions: Why did the first D-class die? Why not just leave the building? Secondly, why aren't there way more host bodies (please give some name for these, it got confusing at points), given that even an ant is enough to trigger this?
The whole "Wild Hunt" thing was a facade. They're basically trying to mimic the germanic lore so the foundation has that expectation. They escaped on the wolves, leaving a few fae behind to keep the bait up. What the Foundation destroyed were the humanoid shells created by the fae. The whole point was to gain access to foundation personell so that they could pilot them, which is what they're doing right now.
I figured the Wild Hunt thing was a fake (it reminded me of the fake Brit from SCP-1577), but I'm a little unclear exactly what they're going for. Trying to infiltrate the Foundation?
They're the remnants of the Fae (In my head canon) that were destroyed, and they're trying to make a resurgence. They purposely tried to attract the foundation's attention, obtaining SCP classification and made their way to a secure facility inside of the wolves.
They want control of the Factory, or simply want power again.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. Certainly something different.
I'll drop this here too. It just feels like there's too much going on. It feels like a whole lot fo stuff tacked on, and expanded, where if you had just focused more on the core concept, it woulda been fantastic. I would have liked this more if it was played straighter.
Admin, SCP Wiki
I wish I could do this&that SCPS were you could view two different versions… it doesn't look like I'm gonna have to rewrite this. That was actually my intention before I felt I needed a stronger hook.
Then again, if you only read it to so far, technically it is a played straight Wild Hunt SCP. *shrugs*
similar in appearance to that of Spanish moss Tillandsia
This bothered me a bit. I think it would flow better if it were either "whose appearance is similar to that of Spanish moss etc." or "similar in appearance to Spanish moss etc."
Also, I was slightly confused as to what exactly "SCP-1826" referred to. The containment procedures seem to imply that it is the actual building, whereas the description itself uses it to designate either the phenomenon as a whole or the entity possessing those who enter the building during the month of March.
Edit: Upon rereading, this sentence also jumped up at me:
No anomalous properties were present in the gun, and is of modern manufacture with the serial number 196001430, which trace back to a resident of Belarus believed to have gone missing in the area in 2005.
"Is" has no grammatical subject (it's fairly obvious you're referring to the gun, but the construction is rather jarring), and "trace" should probably be "traces" since "the serial number" is singular.
Final edit, I swear: Can one really be armed with a gas mask? Wouldn't something like "equipped" be more appropriate?
As Heat said, I also was not clear on the specific thing that "SCP-1826" refers to. Other than that nitpick, I enjoyed it both as just a "Wild Hunt" SCP and as the real meaning once you read the extras.
