I was going to upvote until everyone died horribly.

ksaid 07 Apr 2014 05:30

Fair enough! Hope it didn't seem completely unjustified — I tried to hint pretty strongly that something like that was going to happen, especially with that specific SCP.

I don't like gratuitous "everybody dies" endings either, but I did have a purpose behind using one. As the misuse of SCPs got more and more blatant, there was only really one way it could end.

The ending caught me off guard, but not in a bad way. Have an upvote.

She ran off stage, clawing at he eyes and shrieking.

Only lil thing I saw, should be 'her', right?

Other than that, yes, the ending is not 'gratuitous', it was quite clear they were all going to end up dead XD

Nice catch, thanks!

I guess the point was to evoke the wacky senior staff stuff from the earlier days of the site, so in that I suppose you succeeded. Still, there's a reason that "lolfoundation" became something of a pejorative term around here. This is so aggressively over the top and in-jokey that it became tiresome extremely quickly. -1.

Check out the link to the Hub page down the bottom!

Yeah, I'm aware of the canon.

ksaid 07 Apr 2014 21:51

Then by all means continue to hate it!

EDIT: That was ridiculously passive-aggressive, damn! Sorry!

For anyone else who was turned off by the aggressive goofiness of this tale, you might prefer the earlier draft! It's a fair bit less silly, and has a whole subplot where Patil is questioning the messed up cartoonish nature of reality that was cut from this. If you're interested, and you're also a big fan of super long half-finished drafts, check it out!

Okay, this is what I wanted out of the lolFoundation canon. I don't think I've ever seen a tale with more skips in it.

StevenThePotato 07 Apr 2014 23:35

Wow, this is gold! From the Coffee Man to 106's singing to the return of the Keter bears!
I legimitately enjoyed reading this. +1 from me.

The Eye Pod sailed through an open window and splattered on the pavement below.

OH GOD WHY?!?!

Is it odd that I found that to be the most disturbing part of the tale?

Upvoted.
