Vroom vroom.
Thanks to DarkStuff and
Captain Kirby for enabling, idea-forging, and crit, as well as
stormbreath and
Stallmantic for additional crit.

I'm not in the right place to leave crit anymore

Because… it's also a truck?
I'll never understand what you have against efficiency, but you do you.
Whatever this trend of short skips is, I will never be a fan of it
This weird "Short=Bad" shtick you seem to be adamant in maintaining, regardless of individual quality, asthetic, content, or theme, does nothing but display a lack of self-awareness and inability to contribute anything meaningful to discussion.
I am eternally grateful you were not permitted to join the crit teams. This is shitcrit.
actually nvm this was an impulse to fight even though I said I'd stop
It displays a lack of self-awareness because it is assuming it's a viewpoint anyone can appreciate or find useful. It isn't.
It isn't insightful. It isn't intelligent. It isn't helpful. It isn't welcome.
This is the kind of SCP that makes me have questions, but in a good way. It’s deliberately not shown what the cars are doing, why they burst out of mirrors in such a cool dramatic fashion, for what reasons does the victims car get faster if the intent is to create the baby cars? Stuff like that. It gives way to wild speculation which I love!
+1, obviously
I'm not entirely opposed to skips that are just a strange, bizarre mechanism, but in this case there's no lingering humour or meaning that can be derived from it. It's just a thing that does a thing with extra steps. -1.
This is pretty much my entire view on the skip. Just an x that does y when z condition is met. I'm all for short skips, but I feel like this really could have benefited from some expansion.
This kind of reminds me 3900 in its general structure and type, but except wifi wolves it's a weird car crash. Idk, I just really like this mental image.
Whoops! My previous comment was taking a long time so I figured it didn't work. Have another comment I guess.
To disguise the fact that Cole double posted, imagine that this is a comment by me.
Very insightful, annoying! Feeling a strong 10 on this one
Quirky, quick, and enjoyable enough for a +1, but I feel that I would have liked it more had it ended here:
SCP-4647-1 instances are driverless and fully capable of self-locomotion, and will attempt to drive into the surrounding wilderness upon exiting the mirror.
Because unlike SCP-3900 that Kirby mentions upthread, the final event feels a little too far out there. The wolves, as wild as they are, still have an a semi-clear underlying logic to when things go off the rails, and that seems to be absent here. It seems crazy simply for the sake of it. Alternatively, perhaps a touch of sinew to suggest what was different this time around would help it flow a little neater.
For the longest time I had this draft sitting in the sandbox, ending right where you said, and it just felt so empty. You might even be right that it works better that way but then I wouldn't have been happy with it.
If you're intending to keep it, then maybe introduce a factor to throw it off? The easiest 'in' would be altered testing perameters: They use a vehicle designed with all front-facing mirrors, or something of the sort (making it a good example of the SCPF inadvertently breaking a 'nom to disastrous effect).
It's short and it's kooky. There are not nearly enough of these. +1
Ignore all the newbies who don't like your skip because it's "Too short."
This is a breath of fresh air in a sea of overtly-indulgent, bloated mini novels disguised as a SCP article.
Back in my day when this was the brain child of folks from /x/, this was the standard.
Not everything needs a explanation, nor does it need a ten collapsible long exposition dump. It's a damn Skip. It's something paranormal we don't understand. We document it and contain it.
+1 sir
