SCP Foundation

So I'm pretty new to this website, and I think all of my ideas might be a little more than I can manage right off the bat. That being said, I've had this idea for a while before I joined to do a series.

The idea is that someone else was collecting specific SCPs for a while. Someone who wanted to understand these SCPs at first, but ended up a little bit corrupt. They didn't stop at understanding them and went on to try to replicate some of them, creating things that were much more unstable.
Eventually, the facility got wind and put a stop to it, but now they have an entire collection of new SCPs to worry about.
Not only that, but they have to figure out exactly what the collector had in mind for these SCPs and what- if any- progress have they made towards their goal.

I know the idea isn't completely original, but for now, it's just a start. There's plenty of places I could go with it, but I don't know if someone has done something like this before. I was hoping for a bit of criticism and a helping hand in making sure I'm not copying anyone.

As a general rule, things that are very similar to existing SCPs with a few changes are very unlikely to be well received. It doesn't tend to make for an interesting reading experience - why read the same thing twice? - and to some it can look as if a writer is trying to piggyback on the success of those earlier SCPs. I think that would become even more problematic if you really intended to post multiple SCPs that were essentially just derivatives of existing articles.

'Person obsessed with SCPs who tries to copy them' is an idea that could have legs with the right kind of story and you might be able to make a Tale from it if you had a good idea about where to go with it, but I don't think this would make for a successful set of SCPs on the main list.
