Nico's Year In Review

Wouldn't you believe it, it's that time of the year again. We've had a lot of good times in the last twelve months, a good handful of contests and some banger posts! But now is the the time for us to look back on the year and highlight some exceptional writing! Let's dive right in, shall we?

January

BONE PROPOSAL came out only a year ago, and yet it feels like so much time has passed by. This is Rounderhouse firing on all cylinders, weaving history, culture, dialogue, and character as well as a believable romance through a xenofiction lens. I realize this is like saying "have you ever heard of cult indie band Pink Floyd," but it is really that good and I cannot recommend it enough.

February

Every Day, It Gets a Little Easier is a bleak little story about what happens to someone in the Foundation after a tragedy, written by absolute newcomer OnlineOpossum. I may be a little biased because I had the pleasure of critiquing this one, but it very accurately goes through grief and the feeling that something is not quite right the entire time.

March

MOBY DICK by IndustryStandard is a particular standout from the Public Domain Contest of 2025. It is written in the style of Herman Melville with a slightly homoerotic and SCP-ish (though really, that is a bit of an oxymoron) twist and is oozing with metaphor and atmosphere. If one hasn't read the original Moby Dick, this will likely hit a little less hard, but it is still a worthy read.

April

for Brandon is the single most heartbreakingly relatable and human piece of fiction I have ever read on this site. I didn't know who its author, theChunk was before, but now I look forward to seeing them post. It's here, it's queer, and it made me shed a tear.

May

SCP-8905 is incredibly stupid. Its authors, CrowCat and PinkHatPinkJeans, should be ashamed of themselves. That being said, its punchline is incredibly good. I won't spoil it for you, and its relatively short, so I suggest reading it.

June

We're Worthy of Being Loved, Too is a beautiful, dreamlike, Cormac McArthy-esque knockout of a queer fiction tale. When I say that writing dreamlike prose is difficult, Tscercele comes along and makes it seem so easy. This is a must-read if you are at all interested in the abstract and unusual.

July

SCP-8382 by HarryBlank is a novel-length (though at this point, if Harry's involved, when isn't it?) article about the one and only Dr. Lillian Lillihammer as she goes on a tear through the weird and wonderful world of memetics. In typical Harry fashion, its oozing charm, personality, and wit. Though be advised, like I said, it is quite lengthy.

August

SCP-1229 is an interesting little puzzle box with boundless interpretations, purposefully crafted as such by its author Dysadron. It may seem simple and straightforward at first, but the article belies a deep discomfort and sense of dread that inspires a second read. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I first read it, and neither will you!

September

SCP-9090 by Its A Bad Idea is such a wonderfully bizarre article that forces the reader to engage with it on its own outlandish, creepy, and unusual terms. Words fail me at describing it, and its really one of those things that is better experienced than heard about, so go read it!

October

SCP-9777 by Karatth and AnAnomalousWriter is a very ambitious piece, blending tons of visual arts, anime tropes and culture, and a love of genre fiction, all tied up with a neat bow. I highly recommend reading it and enjoying the artistry that went into it. Some parts may suffer due to translation; both authors are ESL, but that doesn't mean it's not worth reading.

November

The Old Masters by TacticalNecromancy is a lovely little piece of fiction taking place in a creepy old museum and starring a character who is at odds with both their coworker and their mother. It's a great premiere piece by a first time author, which just barely missed his self-imposed deadline for Halloween. Consider giving it a look!

December

Fuck Jude!!! by sailorenoch is a dating sim starring Jude Kriyot and the lovable cast of characters of Gamers Against Weed, as well as some new pervert who I won't spoil. It's really funny, it was made in a single month for Art Exchange as a present to kinchtheknifeblade! Its impressive just how much one can do in so little, and with so much love as well.

And that does it! See you all next year!

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'd like to nominate a reviewer for the Reviewers' Spotlight, DM your nomination to Zyn!

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

Site News Creature Feature

Greetings, goblins and ghouls from every corner of the world. I am Uncle Nicolini, your gracious host for this newest segment of Site News; none other than the Creature Feature! "What is the Creature Feature?", I hear you ask. Well, my fellow creatures of the night: this new segment is aimed at putting your furry, scaled, and feathered friends in the spotlight! That's right, we're doing Super Cute Pets, starring you, the reader's, very own animal companions!

Creature Feature FAQ

"How do I get my pet on there?"

Simply submit an image hosted on the SCP sandbox or other image hosting service via PM to DianaBerry, MetalRavioli, or Uncle Nicolini, along with a paragraph or so telling us your pet's name, species, and a little about them!

"Is there anything I need to agree to?"

Only that you are releasing the image of your pet under CC BY-SA 3.0! Its the site license, after all.

"Anything else?"

Nope! All you gotta do is wait. And who knows? Maybe your pet will be the next month's Creature Feature!

And now, for the main attraction…

Presenting… Milky!

Hello all, I’m milky__doodles, and rather confusingly, this month's creature feature is my elderly cat - Milky (she inspires my username)

Milky is a 17-year-old Bombay rescue cat. She was found in 2008 by the RSPCA after being thrown out in a rubbish bag with her newborn siblings. Despite a rough start to her life, she is and continues to be a bright, adventurous, and affectionate cat who loves basking in the sun and enjoys white fish as a treat. We believe she was the runt of her litter as she is one of the smallest fully-grown cats I’ve ever seen.

I was 3 when my family adopted Milky, and my parents entrusted me with naming her. Judith Kerr’s “Mog the Forgetful Cat” was my favourite childhood story, and I chose the name Milky as Mog (and I imagined other cats) loved to drink milk. Although she chose to embrace her namesake, finishing off the milk from my cereal, the irony of her name contrasting with pitch black fur was not lost on me as I grew up.

Remarkably, Milky avoided injury or illness for the majority of her life. Unfortunately, in late 2023, Milky suffered a bleed in one of her eyes. She rejected food and water, became reclusive, and multiple vet visits later, she was diagnosed with hypertension. She suffered a second bleed in early 2024, however, with regular medication and a stricter diet, she was soon back to her lovely self.

She is a lot more vocal as an old lady, we believe she may have some cognitive issues at such an old age, but she continues to live a relaxed and peaceful life, full of enrichment and cuddles. I moved out of my parents' house in 2024 and Milky continues to live with them. She is the #1 thing I miss about home, but I am blessed to receive regular updates in the form of pictures, videos and Facetimes.

SCP Data & Trends

Due to staffing issues, the data section of the new was cut back in March of last year, to many peoples chagrin. But many hands make lighter work and community outreach has gotten more hands! All this is to say that we've now got all the data you would've gotten over last years news right here, right now! Special thanks to BAD_DATA (latest data analysis team member), radian628 (for helping navigate Crom and write scripts), and smlt (for developing and maintain Crom) for allowing this to happen.

Hello from the data analysis team!
Looking at 2025, a lot of articles were created, an incredibly busy year all round. Two contests in particular, Classic con in the summer and 9kcon in the autumn are to thank for such an increase in articles posted. Here are a few takeaway points:

Outside of contests for mainlist SCP articles, tales and mainlisters are generally uploaded at pretty even rates. If we are to take upvotes as a metric for engagement, SCP articles generally tend to perform slightly better, but not by as drastic an amount as people may think. Future analysis should account for outliers from contests.
GoI formats are a heavily underrepresented form of article, taking up a very small slice of the pie each month. Future analysis should perhaps take which type of GoI formats are popular with authors
All data was obtained via Crom at the end of the year, so the month-by-month analysis is in retrospect. Next year, hopefully we can go back to gathering data on a monthly basis to get data that is more representative of the time.

The highest rated article this year was, of course, "SCP-9000 — The Trench" by J Dune at +952, more than 300 upvotes than the next most popular article. Congratulations!
For the other big formats:

The highest rated tale was "Fandation", a collaboration by SynthPanda_, sailorenoch, Prismal, Miss Lapis, Harmacy, Guaire, FrankEntropy, Fish^12, DrBleep, AstersQuill, & Alexander245 at +250.
The highest rated GoI format was the Wilsons' Wildlife article "Critter Profile: Pothole!" by Queerious at +123.
The highest rated artwork was "9kcon Boss Fight" by Dr Talcite at +103
The highest rated theme was Retro Futura by Fish^12 at +73.
And lastly, the highest rated essay was "The SCP Wiki Is About Politics. And So Are You." by Doctor Cimmerian at +149.

In total, this year we had 2076 pages uploaded, with a cumulative vote count of +84329, with the average article getting +41 votes. Out of all those, 70 were author pages, so hello to all of our new authors who have contributed so much in 2025!
