Stories and Editorials

SCP International is proud to welcome a new Developing Branch: SCP KZ (for Kazakh)! You can find their wiki here: http://scp-kz.wikidot.com/

As a reminder, the Developing Branch status means a branch is not yet a full-on Official Branch but is formally recognized as a well-led project with the potential to evolve and expand over time, with easier communication methods to get some support and advice from their international fellows.

Find the full list of Developing and Official Branches here.

- By Strange Matter



For some of us June brings the summer heat, and for some of us it's the start for winter. But for all of us it means the start of Pride Months which gives us

PRIDEFEST 2025!

Last year's fest was such a smashing success that it's being brought back again this year, though with some changes. The event will be running up, until the 15th, a different page featured on the front page each day. We also have a theme this year (although its more of an encouragement than a requirement); Rise Up: Pride in Protest, the same theme as this year's NYC Pride

And as a reminder, this is not a contest. There are no losers or winners. Nor do you have to be Queer to contribute, everyone is encouraged to write or draw for Pride.

You can find further details on the rules and all of the entries here. We hope everyone has a happy Pride!

Writing and Art Prompts

Site News is bringing you monthly writing and art prompts! Every month there will be user-submitted prompts to help inspire new pieces. Participation in these prompts is completely optional, and any pages based on the prompts will be featured in the next issue of Site News! If you're interested in submitting a prompt for next Site News, send a wikidot PM to RhineriverRhineriver or ProblemPalProblemPal. One prompt submission per person, and up to five prompts will be shown in each edition of Site News.

This month's prompts are below!

Shinobi no Yoru Submitted by Mister_Toasty
There aren't enough ninjas in the Wiki. Let's change that.

Human Sacrifice is Expensive! Submitted by TarotSport
Write an article where killing humans (organ harvesting, human sacrifice, etc.) is initially needed for containment, but a loophole is used for containment instead.

Common People Submitted by PinkHatPinkJeans
Write about a famous, important pre-established character interacting with someone ordinary and unremarkable.

What if I'm the Monster… Submitted by Justauser
Write an article where the protagonist eventually becomes the villain and the antagonist becomes the good guy.

The following article was inspired by a prompt and written this month!

Protectors of Inti 001 Written by Maplestrip
Inspired by "The Nazca Lines" from October 2024's prompts!

If you write an entry inspired by this or a previous month's prompts, feel free to send a wikidot PM to RhineriverRhineriver or ProblemPalProblemPal to have it featured in the next Site News! There isn't a time limit on getting prompt submissions featured, so feel free to write for a previous month's prompts as well!1


Seminars

Pride Reading Club: Sunday, June 15th, 2025 2:00 PM EST

It's Pride Month! Let's get together and explore the many LGBT works on the wiki. Ranging from Lesbian fish, asexual lizards, unsubtle trans metaphors, and your choice of Bi disasters.

It's time to celebrate just how gay this place is!

All seminars are hosted on the official discord!


Features Last Month

Top Articles of the Month

Ratings of course do not mean everything, but they are representative of what people happened to like seeing at the time. With this in mind, the following are the top-rated works last month, so if by some chance you haven't encountered them yet, be sure to check them out!

Top-Rated SCP

SCP-8281 by Maplestrip: Transformations

When a subject touches SCP-8281 , they are transformed into a new physical form over the course of five seconds. The nature of individualized transformations appear arbitrary, but are hypothesized to relate to the subject in some way.

Top-Rated Non-SCP

We Both Know How This Ends by rottingraisins

On October 28th 2006, A .45 slug tears through Dr. Benjamin Kondraki's skull, leaving nothing in its wake. He is forty-two years old.


Front Page Features

Every month, an article is selected from each of the three common article types: SCP, Tale, and Group of Interest Format. These three articles are displayed on the front page for the month to bring further recognition to them.

If you would like to view the previous front page features, you can view the archive for the SCPs here, the archive for the Tales here, and the archive for the GoI Formats here!

SCP Article

SCP-8799 by Tufto: A Book of Kings

The Foundation does not command the same level of trust as it once did.

Tale

Let There Be Green by sailorenoch, rottingraisins, and Rosyfox2002

Attached to this letter should be part of an early version of Princess Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table’s fifth volume. The final version that made it to shelves is practically unrecognizable from this one.

GoI-Format

The Lotus Eater Reviews: Pho Vu Lan by DrGrimoire

Perhaps the oldest question in the history of higher education is “Where can I get a meal at 4:00 AM?”


Reviewers' Spotlights

Works are featured on the site’s front page as part of the Reviewers’ Spotlight, which acknowledges the time and effort spent by forum reviewers helping other authors develop and edit and their works for the mainsite. Each month, community members are encouraged to nominate forum reviewers who have been both particularly helpful and active. Members of the Forum Criticism Team will then discuss the nominations, and select four prominent reviewers to choose the month’s Reviewers’ Spotlight front-page features.

If you would like to view previous spotlights, you can view the archive for them here!

1st of May

A Wolf at the Door by mxsinister [Featured by Minaru]

As the entryway cracked open, the fluorescent lights of Site-90 glared in from the hall.

9th of May

Hanson Perry and the Crabmeat Loss by Jezixo [Featured by yorp]

Friday was the wretched end of everybody’s week, but Hanson Perry liked it fine.

17th of May

SCP-8307: The Arthurian Cycle by sailorenoch, rottingraisins, and Rosyfox2002 [Featured by Fish^12]

Any and all attempts to disrupt the cycle once activated will result in immediate dismissal from the research team.

25th of May

The Rainbow Pebble by Jezixo [Featured by battlecruiser12]

Hanson Perry knew best where to scavenge for surprises. He’d found a catch down here before, but this was something special.
