What I Can Give: Writing — I consider myself a tale author at heart but I've also written SCPs. Most of my articles are character pieces, including some that focus on relationships (romantic and platonic). I can write outside of this area as well, though I am not confident in my ability to pull off very conceptual/abstract SCP articles in the time span. My art skills are very limited, though I'm a little better at photo editing and made some posters during 9kcon, so I could also provide those.

What I Am Looking For: a tale or SCP article where one or more O5s act as a main character (vs. being background authority figures, for example), bonus if there's a focus on internal conflict within the council.

Love it. The foundation is such a perfect method for exploring these one off, unexplainable types of situations. No other media format works anywhere near as well. This shows that wonderfully!

I was gonna say that "Dude, you just referenced A.M from Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream"… but nevermind!

Thank you for responding to my PM! Here's my response:

+ Open

First off, apologize for being vague about the junior researcher's gender but yeah, he's a guy actually.

Yes, he is looking for a bit more empathy with the people around him by arranging a party, thinking he could at least prove to himself, and also to his co-researcher, that everyone is just like him. And despite being ignorant and aware about how bad the result will be, he really just wants to have fun while working. Additionally, almost every personnel at this site is so focused on performing their jobs well, anxious of having yet another terrible containment breach.

On how the junior staff will achieve this inside the Foundation, or on a smaller scale, at the site he works for, is by convincing them that this is yet another test using low-level personnel as subjects since they're almost running out of Class-Ds to experiment with. Also (probably not gonna add this detail into the story but I thought you would like to know about it and give your thoughts), the site director has had too many responsibilities to work with that they probably let this stupid idea slip out of their hands, demonstrating how they're just as incompetent as him.

One more thing: prior to creating this scheme, the building had already been refurbished by the Foundation for future research purposes, with its anomalous properties still intact.

Hope this helps!

Some have said it was too long but I was captivated the whole way through. Loved the characters and the world building. I was actually sad by the end not only because of the reveal but also because it ended when I was ready to read more.

Well said. Too many people, not only on the wiki but on the internet as a whole, treat "trope" like some dirty word.

What I Am Looking For: Fan art of any of my SCP's (find here Link or fanart/story set in Site-188 Link or a rework of my author page.

Re: The Failure

I want to be able to flesh out his character by showing his backstory prior to and during discovery. For example, I plan to showcase his early failures, setting him far behind his peers, which will lead to him being ostracized. He will attempt to conform to the societal norms of perfection, but his abnormality will always make him fail, even if the task is as simple as tying a shoe or filling a cup.

This imperfection will eventually be noticed by the Foundation - a conglomerate of research institutions dedicated to the advancement of Humanity by eliminating imperfection. His case, being more noticeable, will lead to attempts to correct his condition, which will include electroshock therapy, medication, and even lobotomy - all of which will instead cause his abnormality to advance further.

In the end, he will be left broken, a person who was plucked away from society for not being normal, and ends up worse. He'll be locked away with the rest of the 'rejects' simply because he just couldn't succeed.

I don't want to dump all of the information about the Failure within just one paragraph, but rather introduce it through logs, dossiers, etc.

I'm greenlighting this, although I'd still like to see the draft and discuss it with you in the IRC.

Splendid!

This is my second greenlight, so I'll now be able to use the drafts forum. That might have to wait a few days, though, as I've been a bit busy lately with college stuff. I'll be sure to join the IRC and chat about the draft once I have a draft up!

I came up with a stronger anomaly concept in my discussion with BAD_DATA above, by the way.

People complain that for any modern SCP to succeed, it must be long and have fancy CSS. Thanks for the reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a unique idea and good writing to make something stick with ya.

As someone who lives in Brazil and witnessed all of it unfold, this really hits home. By reading this article, I could connect the metaphor of this article with how the government at the time dealt with the COVID pandemic, and when that note at the end confirmed my thesis, I was glad to be right, and sorrowful at the same time. This is a gut punch within a relatively short article. Masterful writing.

And… to be honest, I believe what Bolsonaro is going through right now is some sort of justice for the 700k victims. Though, unfortunately, it isn't for what he did when he was president.

honestly would have been a no rate, maybe even a -1, if not for how impressive the formatting work here was. I was genuinely shocked when the quiz popped up.
