This is beautifully chilling, and the fact that who exactly this is and when it takes place isn't mentioned adds a lot. I have my own thoughts - Nero comes to mind, obvi - but that ambiguity is a nice aftertaste to an otherwise deliciously bitter licorice.
Welcome to the site, this is very good! It's been awhile since I've seen a good Factory article. You did a good job of making the horror reflect our current world rather than the vague "Foundation purposefully evil", which is always something I like to see.

The elementary school recovery is a nice detail, though I think the entry could probably do with just a little more elaboration to enhance the weirdness, either in the description or by adding/elaborating on something with a Current Status or Note section.
Edit: Thinking further about it, this is probably fine as is.
I fucking knew it. God that's terrifying
After revision 88, i can't find [_ and x table] on this article. What happen on this page?
i have to echo those for whom there simply isn't enough here. the anomaly itself is incredibly vague: the water just decides to drown people for no reason that is elucidated in the piece. if the piece leaned into that apparent arbitrariness, i think it would be on the right track, but it instead opts to develop the anomaly only through the appearance of remains after the incidents, a development that i find insubstantial. furthermore, the final log fails to really pull me into the experience of being drowned in this way because it's from the perspective of an omniscient security camera, and there's no dialogue.
I can’t say I fully like it as an SCP, being that the anomaly is just “fire what burns extra” and not much else of substance besides the poem, which is “charred into their heart” in like what, .001 font? That is too many words for one heart, let me tell you.
But the evocative language of the poem got me good, so I’m +1ing on vibes alone.
have we ever considered that this might be a regular tree
This article aims to scare me, and boy does it. The terror I feel reading the logs about trying to escape the pull of the water… eeeuuuughhhh. Shivers. Horrible, horrible shivers.
I think this is SO effective in what it does, which may not be a lot, but not everything has to be.
Genuinely, this is one I’m gonna reread every few months, just because I need a little spook every now and again. Easy easy +1
it's a bit shallow but I can't seem to get my words out, oh well +1
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!
I didn't even get to start reading the SCP because the picture absolutely floored me.
THIS IS OUR LIVES ON HOLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
The people have spoken, and the people want more Lawbert.
Well guess what! YOU—that's right, you!—get to take control! Write laws for your Pink Son to follow! Grab Him! Squeeze Him! Cherish Him!
Go hog wild, y'all, and have fun. I plan to make more Lawbert stuff, perhaps a tale or two, but idk when that will happen. I've made the first two logs as an example, but feel free to branch out.
If you add to the logs, leave a reply to this message so you can get credited.
I really like this one, and I really love how this one really feels like the Foundation stepping into a different 'genre' story-wise. The world of this school feels vibrant, and the characters are fun all well thought. The issue with the lion is also brilliant, as well as the foundation's response, and that end with shooting star inc telling them to stop is such an amazing punchline. God. Such a good article; easy +1~
Not sure about this one. Everything up to the interview feels empty, and this is on purpose of course, but it doesn't removes the feel of lack of something, and once we jump into the interview we get a quick silly bit that does recontextualizes things, but I'm not sure if the change in genre works great for this. The references are neat too, but can't say I'm a fan of the way this article is executed.

As promised, here's the first of the two finales to 8,000 Dead Rats — though, I suppose, this one's a finale, and the next one's going to be a coda, but… well. I hope you can see how calling it that would mess with the title of this.
In any case, this was certainly a challenging draft, but one that I hope ties most of the arcs introduced in the series together; for those that weren't conluded, though… you'll have to wait and see. Stay tuned for the last article soon!
Big thanks to my coauthor Jasiu06 for helping me shape this up into something that isn't incoherent and to

Not really feeling this one. The expungement serves no purpose, the following log is a bit weird and I don't think it serves as a good bridge for the product placement bit, with the typo punchline also being just weird and unnecessary. All in all, this just throws itself in multiple directions through multiple ideas, and nails none.

Interesting; I ultimately liked the journey you put us through, but god do I not like the way the guy talks like. Just really aggravating, albeit I suppose that's the point. Solid stuff nonetheless.

Sound Chaser’s work always straddles the line between fever dream incomprehensibility and coherent storyline. Once you really immerse yourself in the mess of it all, it becomes very sweaty and nightmarish very quickly.
