SCP Foundation

An idea I've been working with for days on end and already has a completed first draft, along with two ideas that are only ideas for now.

I trimmed your thread summary above, since it was taking up a lot of space on the forum listing. Try to keep thread descriptions and titles under 7 lines so you don't visually crowd out other people's threads. ~Zyn

I've always had a lot of ideas floating around in my head. I've always liked SCP due to all these people being able to share these ideas, and that I could possibly join them. Here are my 3 ideas.

The Headless Mink
- Has no head and takes the form of a mink (hence the name)
- Causes anyone who sees it to go insane and vision the people they love dying before becoming incredibly aggressive.
- Is unable to affect children.
- Speaks telepathically to lure victims or communicate with staff. Can be interviewed.
- Inspired by my own fear (losing those I love) and my love for minks.
- Has an already completed first draft in the sandbox.

The Death Talker
- A humanoid being with pale gray skin and a blank expression along with having tape over their mouth.
- If its mouth ever opens it will bring an outbreak of disease so horrid it could wipe out life on earth.
- Tape on its mouth keeping it shut is slowly peeling off.

j
- Inspired by an original character I made.
- A round, red rubber ball with black eyes, a smile drawn on it, and a single foot it hops on.
- Can hypnotize and mind control people at will, including other SCPs.
- Uses his powers to eat victims whole.

If any of these ideas or something similar has been done before, let me know.

Causes anyone who sees it to go insane and vision the people they love dying before becoming incredibly aggressive.

We see a lot of this sort of thing. The "it makes you crazy until aggro/dead/irredeemable" approach isn't particularly interesting on its own anymore, given how many times SCPs with that effect have been written. Take a look at the articles tagged with "compulsion". Furthermore, an SCP object's effect forcing someone to do something tends to be a bit of a lame narrative, since things are more interesting if there's a struggle involved, and/or if the people instead do terrible things of their own volition rather than just because the author needs them to for the story to work. Consider reading through the further discussion on the narrative issues of compulsion and addiction effects.

Additionally, I don't really see how this sort of effect is thematically related to minks, so it comes off as a random effect appended to a random animal, a formula which typically results in quick downvotes because it's so commonly done and rarely super interesting on its own.

I suggest reading over this essay on common SCP pitfalls to get an idea of what elements to avoid putting in an SCP article, as well as this page: http://www.scp-wiki.net/things-what-do-a-thing-an-essay-on-things for examples of how to spice up the classic overused "thing that does a thing" SCP formula.
