Stories and Editorials
The ES wiki, in conjunction with popular Spanish SCP Youtuber Jomosu, are hosting SCPtober for the fourth year in a row! This event, similar to SCiPtember, is all about reading articles with specific tags or in some cases, specific articles instead, and creating art about them. This year mostly features specific articles, however. For a complete list of the articles and other information regarding SCPtober, head on over to their website 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!
The Nazca Lines Submitted by Mister_Toasty
Peru's most famous and mysterious tourist attraction hasn't received much attention in the SCP universe. Let's change that.
The Comeback Kid Submitted by PinkHatPinkJeans

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

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 Non-SCP
GoIs and You: The Most Misrepresented (dado and Gamers Against Weed) by Uncle Nicolini
In this essay, I hope to cover the important and most basic themes of two of the most misunderstood and misrepresented GoIs on the site; dado and Gamers Against Weed.
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 Article
SCP-8147 by radian628: Worldbuilder
Testing on SCP-8147 is strictly forbidden following the events of Incident 8147-1.
Tale
Plastic Graveyard by Ellie3
A few hours without feeding and they let out a fit of high-pitched shrieks and screams before dropping dead.
GoI-Format
'Endlessly Adapting Lizard' (6GJQG/JT8XH/WOBU2) by Didic, translated by fluxman
It looks like it has surprising regenerative capabilities and can change and adapt to its environment. So, I think it'll be sold at quite a price.
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!
