News for November 2018

The dynamic nature of this wiki means that linked pages might get moved, renamed, deleted, or replaced. Old news pages remain as time capsules and are not updated to account for these changes.

This is a series showing off news from the site, articles from the past month1, and fan-content for you to check out and discover! Be sure to leave a comment with your thoughts!

Fandom Stuff

Event Featured Articles

The theme for the month of November was Instrument!

  • In SCP-3222 ("A Very Real Pencil"), by CannedBread, the Foundation learns of the man behind the pencil.
  • In SCP-926 ("Guqin"), by spikebrennan, the music plays. The war follows.
  • In SCP-1774 ("The Proof's Equipment"), by IHP, the path of least resistance is outright ignored.

Editor's Choice

SCP-4901 - A blend of Hindu/Korean mythos and an exploration into dementia by a criminally underrated author, KindlyTurtleClem.

Who Wants to Live Forever - The start of something great, Uncle Nicolini and Gabriel Jade manage to get some of the oldest characters on the site (Kain and Bright) and fuse them with one of the site's newest canons (End of Death). I await more.



You will notice little 'πŸ“ˆ' emojis besides some articles. That denotes SCP articles which were under 30 and tales which were under 20 when this edition of site news was posted. Give them a little love! Speaking from personal experience, the most frustrating thing that can happen to an article is not deletion, but stagnating below 20 without any comments. So try to read, vote, and comment on these articles! They're often hidden gems :)

Q&A:

Q: Can I replace a blurb that you wrote for one of my articles with my own? I'm not satisfied with it.

A: Absolutely. You will always have that option at any point.

Q: I noticed an error/typo/incorrect information and wish to correct it. May I?

A: Sure! If the changes are not limited to your own article(s) and/or are substantial changes across multiple entries, you should post in that month's discussion page and then make the changes.

Q: I wrote an article and it seems to have stuck. Can I send a blurb of mine to one of the frequent collaborators?

A: Yup! It's much easier if you come to us about it, and it gives you the control over what you want shown on the news page.
