What I like about SCP is that there are so many things out there "destined" to destroy our world that they effectively cancel one another, lol, that's a neat concept.

Era's very first SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) thread: What are your favorites?
- Thread starter BLOODED_hands
- Start date
No idea what SCPs were before this thread. Now I know and have no idea why they are scary or awesome. Random object is dangerous, technical reasons why, and so on and so on. I don't get the appeal.
Some are that simple and some are far far more complex. You can click on several linked in this thread. Most are basically short horror stories.
Yeah, that's all they are and that's the appeal for me, and I assume, a lot of other people.
Fun world building, with interesting anomalies, and a ton of great short stories.
SHIT I had no idea qntm decided to write more antimemetics stuff. Looks like I have new reading material, fuck yeah!
Yeah I only found out when I went to his personal site to check for new stories in general and noticed he had a link to his scp profile. I'll always shill for the dude. Most of his stuff has been great, even if I was originally salty over the ending of Ra

For every ten SCPs that are a living nightmare, there also exists altruistic little critters like these.

Good lord, I LOVE this one!
The formatting of this entry is so damn clever and I love the "design" of the subject.
Yeah, the ones that hang around the sites helping out are cool http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-492 "Animated Cloth Dummy".
Now heres an unsettling one.

Planet hundreds of light years away from earth, very similar to ours but home to billions of infected humans that only live and build their society around maintaining and spreading the parasite that controls them.

http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3909 this one's pretty fun, it's got the Wu Tang Clan and interplanetary tournaments.
Gone down the rabbit hole of the subset of SCP entries based around the The Circus of the Disquieting.
Because of course there would be a creepy circus full of monster clowns and performing anomalies in this world.

I spent some time with "Able" and related stories / discussion pages last night.

076 has that ratio. An old SCP that has a ton of upvotes but also has a ton of really vicious comments. Kinda fun reading through that community wrestling with that part of the heritage.

I still need to download it, watched a few streams of it looks super fun.
I absolutely love that story, along with "Cain" and the The Gate Guardian. Which all tie in together.
I made the 3000 contest thread at the old site, many of those entries were great. I'm not a big fan of 3999 though, the dialogue is not great.
I really like the one with the creepy vhs tapes, it has great imagery. Forgot the number though.

Not all of it is gold, even some of the popular ones have some pretty dumb writing that feels borderline bad fanfic. Like the 682experiment logs a lot of those are very close to lolfoundation territory. That type of stuff I normally omit of my headcanon.
Some things I normally get rid of.
SCPs and random people knowing of other SCPs for no reason. If you can write this to make sense e.g. they have some sort of psychic ability or is some godlike entity then sure, but everyone casually dropping SCP numbers and names irks me. These things are meant to be super secret with very few people in the know for each SCP.
Cross testing popular things just because they are popular. Foundation has a very clear no cross testing policy because unpredictable bad things http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-899"Lost Children" can happen http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-903 "Tunnel of Infinite Possibility"
Some other slight things can bother me, but I still love it overall just have to cut some things mentally here and there.
I agree with that. I read this story which implies two SCPs are connected, but I dislike it because I like both SCPs so much and would like to keep them separate.

Yeah, this is a recent one I didn't like the mixing of. Red Realityon it's own was effective enough. And I much preferred theYoung Man short tale for the origin of the Old Man, though that's probably because I read it first.

Recently rediscovered SCP after watching a few videos by Eastside Show SCP. Last one I watched was SCP-2316 and the added touch of the text-to-speech voice really added to the immersion. His videos feel like he's someone in the organization keeping audio logs of all the SCPs in the foundations custody.
I've been reading through some of the entries for the D-Class Contest and SCP-2669 hits that intersection of cool sci-fi, existential horror and just being plain fucked up.
I started listening to Magnus shortly after reading this post and just caught up to the current episode. It's pretty good! Occaisionally feels a little rote (so many stories have a person describing something as "wrong"), but often surprises. The slow build from anthology into the meta narrative is really great.
Found some cool SCP fan art. Apparently they put out an artbook & calendar, might have to buy it. http://www.artscp.com/en/artbookhttp://www.artscp.com/en/calendar

Been going through 3000 and upwards, found the indestructible and unstoppably affectionate dog entry pretty funny:
http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3042
Its a dog that will basically cross through or break any barrier to find whoever its bonded to and it can't be killed. Its so overbearingly lovable at all times that people will commit suicide or asked to be killed after awhile to escape it.
Posted him earlier but really love this guy from series 3

Joke SCP being too obviously a joke don't really do it for me, but I do like the SCPs that are more benign but can be humorous like 261, 999, and 2471. The reports written like "hehe it's an SCP that just talks in Your Mom jokes, hehe, I'm a comedian" are bad.
