Editorial
It's June, and that means it's pride month! To celebrate all of our LGTBQ+ readers, writers, and artists, we are hosting PrideFest! PrideFest is an event where users are encouraged to write an article about or draw LGBTQ+ characters. Multiple entries are allowed per person, and the most important rule is to have fun!

The ES wiki's 10-year anniversary zine is out… one year late! But still, with over 400 pages of content including art, trivia, history, puzzles, and community stories, it's easy to forgive the zine runners for this. If you want to learn about the Spanish-speaking branch of the SCP wiki, there is no better place to start than this zine. Check it out here!

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 ParallelPotatoes. 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!
That's A Bold Move Cotton. Let's See If It Pays Off…. Submitted by DrSoot77
Have the main character or the SCP Foundation take a bold and big but risky move of some kind in the narrative of your SCP or Tale. Does have to be slightly out of character move for the SCP Foundation in this case. Doesn't have to be out of character for the main character.
173's Birthday Submitted by Uncle Nicolini
June is SCP-173's birthday. Create something about our favorite statue!
If you write an entry inspired by this or a previous month's prompts, feel free to send a wikidot PM to ParallelPotatoes 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

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
TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER JAILOR by FlyPurgatorio, and sailorenoch [Featured by Uncle Nicolini]
The Foundation is exhausting. Terribly precise, infuriatingly formulaic. A caricature of bureaucracy. Of course, you knew that before you joined them.
9th of May
SCP-7870 by RadiantGold [Featured by Iszth]
As of writing, rifts leading to SCP-7870-1 have only been opened by Foundation thaumaturges, though it is likely that SCP-7870-2 is able to do so as well.
17th of May
SCP-7383 by Nylo [Featured by Matthgeek]
This file has been generated for your enlightenment. You are to read this file. You are to not understand this file.
25th of May
Spicy Crust Platoon by Ethagon [Featured by Zoobeeny]
Alphons Clef was wearing a uniform more befitting of a firefighter than a delivery guy. The logo of the Spicy Crust Pizzeria was proudly displayed on his chest.
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!
