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

National Fog Safety Initiative by SeekGull

The danger of fog comes from atmospheric compression. Any significant air disturbance causes rapid, fatal crushing pressure. Movement, speaking, or heavy breathing can trigger compression. The effect is immediate and irreversible.

Top-Rated Non-SCP

SCP-173 in 3 Letters or Less by Raddagher

Now in The 19. Who did it? Not us. It is of ore and dye. SCP-173 is a bad boy. It can not go if you see it. See it and you do not die.

---

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-9555 by 8bitbreadbox: The Memeticist

SCP-9555 is considered self-containing. Access to the Site-41 inter-level supply elevator is restricted to personnel with clearance level 4 or higher.

Tale

The Beach - Part III by Its A Bad Idea

Today was a day for staunching the proverbial bleeding, tallying the losses, and keeping things from spiraling past the threshold of control.

GOI Format

The Lotus Eater Reviews: Pagan Pub Crawl by DrGrimoire

Water of Life serves every whiskey ever made in Ireland, going back to at least the 13th century, and some of them are fantastic.

---

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 April

With Mercy for the Greedy by AstersQuill [Featured by QQuickSilver2]

Her hooves and her cane knocked against the granite floor, quietly, unsure if their owner would be allowed into this holy place.

9th of April

SCP-9345: The Incorrupt Head of Susana Méndez by Din-Bidor [Featured by Aspenq]

One day I left home and never came back.

17th of April

SCP-9299: The Salem Witch Time Trials by wackdog & Polydeer [Featured by LeraviTheXatu]

Special Containment Procedures: The Golden Gourd Cup, if present, is to be observed in place and left to dematerialize; it will remanifest within the victor's residence shortly after SCP-9299 concludes.

25th of April

SCP-8582: A pair of shoes that do not belong to you by GwenWinterHeart [Featured by 8bitbreadbox]

You are to stop thinking about SCP-8582.

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! It's 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… Chester!

This is my tuxedo cat who is 3 years old named Chester! We actually adopted him on Chester Bennington's death date, so that's interesting. He is a very large cat who enjoys playing with his siblings and causing quite a bit of mischief. The main thing that makes Chester an oddball is the fact that Chester grunts to show both affection and annoyance. He will make small "hnnnn" noises when he is either upset or very content with whatever you are doing!

Link to video of hnnn here!
