Nico's Year In Review
Wouldn't you believe it, it's that time of the year again. The time for us to look back on the year and highlight some exceptional writing! Let's dive right in, shall we?
January
SCP-7804 is another short article, though this one really hammers in the creepy atmosphere. It's part of a loose series of related anomalies that all have a similar, offputting creepy vibe to them. I feel like this one would do well with an audio adaption, so if you're someone who can do that, consider this a challenge!
February
SCP-8799 is a longer article about cultural imperialism, ORIA, and two people from different backgrounds coming together and falling apart. It's truly beautiful, and if you're at all a fan of Tufto's other work, this is an article I wouldn't dare miss out on.
March
SCP-1929 is a rewrite of an old article that had a few loosely connected themes and ideas, but ultimately didn't execute them too well. The rewrite takes the themes of the Dust Bowl, oppressive atmosphere, and destructive force to make a masterclass of horror. This is highly effective writing, and it comes courtesy of none other than the legendary PeppersGhost! Give it a read!
April
SCP-8591 is one of those article that you either hate or love, and personally, I love it. It's barely a minute long read, if that, so I won't yep about it, but if you're reading this, you might as well give it a shot.
May
What If My Love Language Is Hurting People? is a long, slow burn of a tale about a young man learning how to live with himself and the hand he was dealt. Mind the content warnings.
June
VNP-111 is a cute little article about an old wiki favorite, Dragon Snails, in the post-veil world of From 120's Archives/No Return where the Foundation has taken up preserving the anomalous rather than containing it. The article has a lot of charm and the images add a lot to it, I recommend giving it a look!
July
The American Experiment is a heart wrenching tale about loss of home, motherland, and cultural identity. I would go on about it, but it would get lost in translation. This is just one of those pieces you have to read to truly get.
August
SCP-8916 is a glimpse into racism in the South, Sundown Towns, and lynchings. Titled after Billie Holiday's /song of the same name, this article, much like the song, provides strong commentary on just how institutional this all is. Harrowing.
September
Nothing Happens is the first tale in the third book of the legendary The Breach Goes On series by our talented friend HarryBlank. It features your favorite cast of characters from Site-43, and is a mind-melting timeywimey good time.
October
SCP-8980. Yeah, we all know it. But I would be remiss to not mention this one, ha.
November
SCP-8843 is an article about the systematic erasure of minorities, and how those who are not affected often turn a blind eye to it. It's also got lesbians, so I'm sure that ought to entice some of you.
December
Onko Sinulla Nälkä: Mourners' Repast is a lovely little recipe blog about Sarkic culture and what it's like to be away from your culture. It's got a lot of charm, the recipes look delicious, and there's even a section to add your own experiences at the bottom if you try them!
- By Uncle Nicolini
Want to get more critique? Try Discord!
With the year coming to a close, I'd like to commemorate the site's official Discord server and dedicated writing section, Deer College, an important resource for several of us here at site news.
The server, including the original writing channels were set up on 18th August 2021 but it would take almost exactly 3 years to become what it is today. In its infancy, the entire server was only available to staff or authors and the writing section being "mostly just chaos" and "nearly impossible to moderate"1. Whilst the original set of channels had some recognisable features, such as #writing-general and #meta-critique (a channel for getting crit on your crit), it also contained now abandoned ideas like the #author-critique channel (a channel for critiquing entire authors).
During this time, the critique moderation team was run by Meserach and transitioned form being a fluid team of anyone that volunteered into a solid team when the server opened to the public in early 2022. Much of the changes that make Deer College what it is today came about when user
Pedagon was promoted to crit captain in the absence of Meserach and, with assistance from user
OriTiefling, overhauled the previous systems to be in line with what it is today.
Currently the main critique process is quite similar to the the onsite process, with the greenlight system being shared by both but using Discords forum system, #Idea-critique and #Draft-Critique opened around the start of December 2022. There is also #Specialized-Critique2 which allows topic-specific critique from experts on a subject.
There's even an equivalent to the Butterfly Squad in the Moth Roster, previously referred to as the Spider Squad by Pedagon3 until it was made official on 23rd February 2023. Several of us at site news are actually moths!
Deer also hosts more general channels including channels for brainstorming4, help with CSS, and current wiki events (including our monthly prompts).
Overall, Discord has allowed Deer College to form a much stronger sense of community compared to onsite crit forums, with staff and moths frequently giving out advice and making friends in the #writing-general channel. This of course isn't to discredit the resources on site; the butterflies and other active users do great work and its recommended that aspiring authors use both in tandem.
If you're interesting in using Deer College all you have to do is join the discord and sync your Discord and Wikidot accounts. To end this, I'd like to give a final thanks to Pedagon and everyone who has worked to make Deer the welcoming and accessible place it is. Hopefully we see many new faces there in the new year!

GoI-Format
Critter Profile: Clara! by Sebarus
Any damage inflicted on her repairs almost immediately, and she doesn't seem to age. We're looking into ways of helping her, but we're a bit over our heads I'm afraid.
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!

SCP-7928 refers to a Tau-Rho (“eldritch”) entity referring to itself as “Tr’Kxladi, the outer god of interruption and mortal foil.”

SCP Data & Trends
All the goings-on of the site condensed into bite-sized takeaways! Is there a statistic or figure you would be interested in knowing? Let us know and we can feature it next time!
Due to technical issues, this month's charts have been delayed. Last month's charts are below. Check back here in a few days for the updated charts!
