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