SCP Foundation

I have spent some time thinking, and have recently come up with an idea for a bottle of pills. These pills, once taken, will cause whoever took them to behave like a deceased member of that persons family. Often the most recent.

If multiple pills are taken, you will develop multiple personality disorder, and you will share the personalities of your deceased family members.

If more than 5 Pills are taken, subject will eventually die.

This is just a boring x that does y, with death tacked on the end for some reason. There's just nothing interesting here; it's one of a breed of magic items that we've seen millions of times.

You have maybe the shadow of a seed of a narrative, but not much more than that. If this is all there is to it, that it isn't likely to succeed on the mainlist. You're going to have to go further than this before pitching your ideas, I believe. So, stop thinking about SCPs as simply objects, because they are almost never simply objects. Think instead about all the components that come together in different ways in different articles, including character, theme, and plot progression. SCPs are essentially tales with a relatively rigid structure - there has to be some kind of story you want to tell.
