Image: Two girls are standing in front of a doorway pouring with glowing white light. The one on the left is dressed in an outfit mixed between laboratory chic and witch's attire. She has a capricious look on her face and her arms are outstretched, encouraging her friend towards the door. The other girl, the one on the right, is wearing a green dress with golden trims and a blue bow on the back. She has a large tome tucked under one arm and a white snake coiled around the other. All around them, doors are swirling in a vortex and floating into the sky.

For a site with as varied history as ours, we've surprisingly never done this before. It's been requested again and again, and rebuffed for so long now that some writers speculated that this theme ever being chosen was a pipe dream, one that would never be realized in a hundred years. Well, it's time to wake up as this is no illusion, the theme for the SCP-8000 Contest is Fantasy!
