Era's very first SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) thread: What are your favorites?
- Thread starter BLOODED_hands
- Start date
I just read SCP-4005 and I don't get it. Maybe it's because I don't normally read Apollyon but it sounds like in the end every human on Earth was affected so... game over? Do most Apollyon actually end the world?
Yeah not all SCPs are in continuity, so some will straight up end with the end of the world or a "broken masquerade" scenario without fixing the issue before the SCP is done. It's just the nature of having hundreds of authors, I guess.
I ended up writing my attempt at an SCP. It's a little long since there are a couple tests. If anyone would be willing to give it a read and give me opinions I would appreciate it. If anyone is up for it, please send me a PM and I can send you a link so you can view it.
It needs some polish and I'm still double checking some of my terminology to make sure it's in line with other SCPs.
Thanks, sent! I didn't realize you can just make your own private conversation like a chat room. If anyone else is interested, please let me know and I can add you. I don't want to hijack this thread though so now back to your regularly scheduled SCP.
No, but it's still good to keep things in line. You can do whatever you want with the format if you wish.
I added you to the conversation. Let me know if that doesn't work.

Once you have a rough draft share it here and I'll threadmark it ElectricKaibutsu 👍
Don't feel like you're hijacking/derailing this thread. This thread is essentially just the SCP thread of [REDACTED] lol.

Era member ElectricKaibutsu's own SCP creation! *rough draft*
Thanks! ArgyleReptile gave me some good advice which I have incorporated so I'm feeling more confident about it now.
Here's the rough draft:
Some of the identifiers are place holders such as it being SCP-XXXX and the D class people's IDs are just random numbers.
Wow, I hadn't heard about this.
SCP Trademark Guy back at it again 2: Electric Boogaloo
If anyone takes the time to read my SCP rough draft, I would greatly appreciate feedback. I don't normally write stuff so any suggestions would be very welcome.
SCP Legal Funds GoFundMe Link
Saw an article about the Russia thing and they posted a link to gofundme where they're raising funds to fight this legally.
I'm pretty impressed by how much they raised already. They still need more though.

Just found a new tale added in my personal favourite SCP series, the 'antimemetics division'. It's got so many cool concepts and I can't recommend it enough.
The first two stories in 'There is no antimemetics division' are kind of day-in-the-life stuff, introducing some of the key concepts and then it really takes off from there.

Thanks! Been having trouble sleeping more than usual so this should help pass the time.
Antimemetics has been my favorite since I read them. Such an great premise, and the cohesiveness of it even with all the separate stories works really well.
I didn't realize that AWCY was behind 1127 (one of my favorites).
Hey, I know I'm really late to this and I haven't read many SCPs (maybe 50 in total?), but I liked it a lot. My only pedantic editorial notes would be that in a couple of instances you had a comma followed by an 'and' or an 'or'. I'm not sure what's grammatically considered proper, but when I was growing up I was always taught at school that you did not need a comma if followed by one of those words. Did you do anything with it or just keep it to yourself in the end?
Thanks for giving it a read! I put it up but it didn't do well. I got some good feedback though and am planning on rewriting it.
On the SCP-5000 contest: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp5000contesthub
Looks like Why? is winning, and deservedly so I'd say. Many of the other entries are super interesting and have a lot of work put into them though. Some highlights: Seven and Death of the Authors (unique interfaces), Il Maestro Del Rancor (very good Lovecraftian/Ligotti tale), A Death in Containment and Trust No One (detective/murder mysteries), Pandora and Sacrosanct (just nice little SCP tales).

I know most people here at ERA hate Markiplier but I noticed he posted a video the other day bringing awareness to the copyright troll trying to copyright SCP and linking the resources for people to help fight back. I like that he's using his influence to help out.

Kickstarted SCP-096 Short Film is Out!
Gotta say as the sites popularity has grown the amount of content has gotten a lot more stale and generic as of late. Its great to see the success after so many years of basically being a niche of a niche of web fiction but kind of feels like when the Cthulhu mythos got really popular with a lot of authors and they just focused on the superficial aspects like tentacled faced horrors and people going crazy and not exploring the really interesting and fucked up aspects or doing their own thing entirely within the already established framework. There are still some really good entries but its increasingly like finding a needle in a haystack.
for april fools, SCP now stands for Super Cool Plants

You know, it is a bit weird reading some of the most apocaliptic SCPs after the real world just went through such a massive change in the last few months, and it took a lot less than some supernatural being or whatever. I wonder what the writers are thinking right now, and how - and if - that will change the narrative meta going forward.
Just some random thoughts.

Damn. Those monsters are real right now. Where's Barry Allen when we need him?
I love the implication that the pillbug he saw are the giant undersea pillbugs that live on the ocean floor now
It's not part of Scp but theres a story about a world ending scenario written by the perspective of an infected person, it was called something like "Instructions to plant a seed" and the narrative later switched to the Survivor side. Anybody knows what i'm talking about?
