SCP-4997 was my first successful dive into the SCP Wiki, and with geology being as much of a fascination for me as it is, writing about a geological entity was an inevitability for me. Cauldros was actually my third or so SCP conceptualized and wasn’t finished until shortly after the 4000 Contest had ended. Two weeks of research, graphic designing, and critique later, SCP-4997 was published and has thus far managed to remain afloat! I’m still kind of shocked that I managed to grab an SCP slot so close to SCP-5000, but I’m still thrilled I got there just in time!

SCP-4870 — Something’s Wrong With Site-17
One day I was down by the Canaveral National Seashore, saw a gopher tortoise, snapped some glamour shots of said gopher tortoise, and went on my way. I was so impressed with how the photo came out I used it as SCP fuel. What exactly this anomalous tortoise was going to do, however, managed to evade me for a good few weeks, bouncing around from pataphysics, to memetics, to pataphysics again, and eventually to what it is today. Odd as it may be, it stands as my second successful SCP and was even featured in the SCP Cafe Podcast’s Recap: 2019, Week 3 episode!
SCP-4961 — All Dogs Go to Heaven
I don’t remember too clearly how I came up with the idea for All Dogs Go to Heaven, but I do remember that a good friend of mine losing her dog while she was thousands of miles from home helped motivate me to actually write.
The fun in the park may be over, the real Quin, Ruta, and Rad sure made the time worthwhile.
SCP-4685 — Every Man Must Pay His Due
I’ll be completely honest; I wrote this one while hopped up on *way* too much caffeine as a means of procrastination on an important assignment. Some folks over on the SCP subreddit and a bit of SCP Fuel helped the idea come together, so without them I never would have been able to create this. I’m glad I got it put out exactly on Halloween too, I suppose that adds to the effect if you like it. Since being posted I've bounced some tweaks around on it but think it sits nicely as is, though future overhauls have not been entirely ruled out, admittedly. SCP-4685 was also featured in the SCP Cafe Podcast’s Recap: 2019, Week 45 episode, albeit critically, but featured nonetheless!
SCP-4845 – Great Food, No Atmosphere (Or: Tacos That Are Literally Out Of This World)
An offhand comment by a good friend in the middle of nowhere planted the conceptual seed for this one. Taco Bell also represents a sort of social holy site in the lives of friends and I, so it’s incorporation into an SCP was bound to happen eventually. I originally intended to have it placed on Mars but shifted it to the Moon after some careful reconsideration. It’s a shame too, since I’d planned some Martian Taco Bell item names with some folks on Dr. Cimmerian’s Discord server, rest in peace to Olympus Mounds, the Doritos™ Martian Dust Shell Taco and Martian Dew shall never see the light of day.
A combination of misinterpreted Shins lyrics and a Yellowstone history magazine I picked up while I was working in the Park over the summer inspired this one. Drawing on local myths and legends, additional song lyrics, an assortment of gift shop items, a reference to the nice lady that always gave me an extra shot of espresso, and mixing in an SCP I had planned to write separately, I painstakingly pieced this article together. I stopped working on it for a while after the summer but picked back up when the SCP-5000 Contest was announced. Coffee, Christmas cookies, and a few nights of binge-writing later, I had completed it. Looks like I landed in 46th place too, not bad!
Originally I was in the mood for a lore-building article, so I figured I might as well expand on the SCP-1000 canon and refresh an old SCP idea I had a while back, but decided to rewrite the ending a little while after. It came together in a surprisingly timely fashion too, and I'm very happy with it overall. Hope the new version reads better.
Written for the Exquisite Corpse contest using containment procedures so skillfully drafted by my co-author, 
YellowCorp, this article changed a lot. From an SCP-3310 sequel that was so similar I almost got in trouble, to what it is today, I am very happy with how it came out. This also functioned as an adventure in image licensing and finding out just what I could and couldn't get away with on the wiki. In the end, I like how it came out!
SCP-6014 — All For The Better
Another thousand SCP slots come and gone since the last K-ontest, and the whiplash from realizing that I had missed the SCP-6000 Contest's announcement by nearly two weeks turned out to be just what I needed to shatter my writer's block. With a theme as broad as "nature" my early ideas for my contest entry bounced around from a decidedly fergalicious iteration of Teddy Roosevelt, to anomalous geographical surveys, to what it eventually ended up as today. I chose the truth of the natural world's ultimate victory over our artificial one as my article, and managed to weave in a story about the Overseers and a hopeful protagonist. (It's a shame I had to go and turn her into a tree.) If I had not been in the process of travelling to the literal polar opposite of the United States during the later stages of the contest, the article would have included some audio files voiced by yours truly.
All For The Better ended up in 58th place with a rating of +41, but regardless of the outcome I'm happy to have been a part of it and I knew Rounder had it in the bag from the second I saw his entry. It was a great contest though, and I am grateful to all who participated in it alongside me.
