SCP Foundation

I got sucked into the world of SCP Foundation when I found out SCP-173 wasn't the only SCP. After reading for a long while, I decided maybe it was time I joined! I thought writing SCPs would be a fun thing to do, and it would feel good to contribute to this site.

My hobbies include drawing, a little bit of photography, but I spend too much time just goofing off with games and talking online than doing a few other things. I am currently writing my first SCP, trying to be very careful about breaking the whole thing. When I'm finished, I hope it will at least be a little bit of a success!

I'm glad to be here.

Yo! Congrats on joining the site.

I see you've already got a sandbox, so good on you! Remember to get your finished drafts looked at on the IRC chat and/or the drafts forums before you post to the mainsite. Of course, it's a good idea to look through the Guide Hub for writing tips as you're in the process, since there's a lot of resources available there.

You can also take a look at other SCP articles to get a feel for what the site's looking for nowadays. I personally recommend reading the high-rated Series II and III articles (SCPs with numbers from 1000 to 2999). There are many inspirational articles in Series I, but articles written four or more years ago are less likely to be up to current community expectations, even if they've got a lot of upvotes. Remember to pay attention to how old an article is when deciding if you'll use it as a guide or not; you can (and should!) check article age by clicking the "History" link at the bottom of a page, and looking for the page creation date.

Let me or another staff member know if you've got any questions.

Welcome to the site!
