SCP Foundation

Hello everyone, I am MrWrong (or at least that's what I opted for as my username). Having lurked and read through many articles of the SCP Foundation since end of 2012, I have been increasingly drawn to this (fictional) world of mysteries, secrets and unspeakable horrors. It taught me the meaning of true horror: not blood and gore, but existential horror that questions one's validity as a human etc.

Now, I make the first step to contribute my part to this terrifying yet wondrous multiverse. I have a few SCP ideas stored in my head, and will try my best to convey them. A bit of guidance here and there would be lovely of course, and I hope to enjoy my time with the Foundation.

Hello MrWrong I'm glad you've read though plenty of SCP articles the past few years. Since you're planning to write your ideas, you may want to read the top rated pages this month and other high rated SCP documents found in Series II and Series III. These are skips that were made recently, and are what people strive to create as a current standard. Keep in mind that SCP is not exclusively horror, and that a lot of the basic horror-routes have been exhausted by now. If you're planning to write a horror SCP, be sure to put your own spin on it, as with any SCP.

In terms of guidance, we have chat, and the writing help forums along with any other forum you may want to check out. If you haven't, read the guide hub and finally create a sandbox for yourself so you can get used to the wikidot code and to get your drafts in order. The basic coding system can be found in how to write an SCP in the formatting and templates section. If you want personal advice/critique/conversation, you can PM me (note I am not staff), other active users, and most notably staff (staff are briefed upon in the guide to newbies if you wish to identify them).

I'm excited to see your contributions! Just remember to get a lot of feedback before putting anything up on the main-site (don't be afraid there are plenty of people willing to critique work). Otherwise you're likely to get it deleted. Hopefully you enjoy the experience here! I know I do.
