Features Last Month

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

SCP-9777 by Karathh & AnAnomalousWriter: Nitaka Miino - Imitation Is the Sincerest Form

SCP-9777 refers to a phenomenon wherein fictional characters, depicted in the style of Japanese anime, act with autonomy.

Tale

Ever Since We Founded Rome by Koscheiisms

Her mother’s eyes are locked on the darkening road, her time-worn face illuminated only by streetlamps and the last embers of sunset.

GOI Format

TESTIMONY COLLECTION 727111: Deer Girl by xexnoncores & AstersQuill

From the beginning of everything, there have always been those who undo. Not destroy—there exists a calmer alternative to destruction I like to posit as “demaking”—to me, the destruction of something requires three important ingredients.

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!

1st of February

SCP-8397: Spinesketball by Anyar [Featured by BAD_DATA]

Site-97's basketball court is to be vacated and locked after hours.

9th of February

SCP-9811: If You Need Me, I'll Be In Montanna by tacticalnecromancy [Featured by Heck_Tech]

{SCP-9811 is the Foundation designation for the "Montanna [sic] Natural and Cultural History Museum." The building has three entrances: Visitors, Guests, and Staff. Only the Staff entrance appears to be inaccessible.}}

17th of February

SCP-9616: The Department of Foolishness by InanimateStudy [Featured by AWhiteBoy]

SCP-9616 is a sentient and sapient swarm of between 3500 and 4000 anomalous Culex quinquefasciatus, commonly known as the southern house mosquito.

25th of February

Our Lady of Sorrows by DrGrimoire [Featured by Kingspade]

Unearthly wailing, it turns out, is great for keeping property values down, and in Three Portlands, the moans of the damned was considered less of a deterrent and more of a minor annoyance, no worse than a neighbor who mows the lawn after five.

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…Panda!

Hello readers, I am Uncle Nicolini, and it is my pleasure to introduce you to the Beast of Sloth and Gluttony; my very own dog, Panda! She is just shy of turning 10 years old (an April Fool's birthday girlie) and she is the light of my life. As you might imagine from my earlier descriptor of her, she's a very lazy girl who would love nothing more than to eat blueberries and salami all day while cuddling, but I make sure she stays active. Panda is some sort of mutt, I don't know what her parents were and quite frankly I don't care to know because I love her as she is. She originally did not care for me, fun fact! She would pee on me, bite me, and bark at me, but ever since she realized I loved her, she changed her mind.

So won't you all join me in wishing her an early happy birthday?
