SCP Foundation

Threw around some ideas for my first SCP draft, as someone with no experience I'd like input on which of these, if any, would be a viable angle to SCP collection.

I trimmed your thread summary above, since it was taking up a lot of space on the forum listing. Try to keep thread descriptions and titles under 7 lines so you don't visually crowd out other people's threads. ~Zyn

So as someone with no experience with writing SCP's, I figured I'd want to get to know if any of these concepts could make for an interesting read if fleshed out, at least within the realms of a novice.

#1. Occult Hive-minded worm infested blob of flesh: The meat and potatoes of this idea is that this SCP would be essentially an anamalous organism that infects a host; causing them to slowly mutate into a giant mass of bio-matter in which reptilian, worm-like serpents begin to gestate within the mass. While maturing these worms will essentially eat and dig through the blob that vaguely resembles it's host, making burrowing holes in the flesh. Eventually the mass will be covered in holes filled with giant monstrous worms, the first generation acting as simple drones while more monstrous serpentine creations can be formed with enough absorbed biomass. Drones will leave, though not far, from their flesh nest to consume biomatter and redistribute it into the hive. The 'blob' of organic matter is essentially the head of the hivemind, giving instructions and commanding it's spawn of serpents. The blob can speak only through it's drones and other creations, which often speak in unison.

#2. So in line with a more humanoid SCP I had an idea for a primitive alien species that crashed on earth via meteor. While biologically being a reptilian, fire-breathing behemoth; they are sapient, not very accustomed to technology and culturally lived in a warrior society. The SCP will either be an individual or 3 separate individuals with distinct personalities; one or two being more co-operative with their containment then the third. A quirk I thought of for this species is that they can essentially 'hand-craft' metal instruments with intense heat resistance and an iron-melting breathe, allowing them to crudely craft iron as if it were clay.

Unfortunately these are the only two I've fleshed out a bit, if they do end up not fitting within the SCP style of things I can always go back to the drawing board. I look forward to comments and opinions!

Okay, I'm gonna do my best for a competent review of each idea. Here goes nothing…

Idea #1 Alright, first we need a backstory. Is it alien? Is it a biomechanically engineered abomination? Where does it come from? why does it do what it does? Although I have to say, this idea is a bit too similar to a mixture of The Flood from the Halo series, and the Xenomorph, from the Alien series. The whole human blob hivemind thing comes from the former, while the reptilian-like worms bursting out of people's chests comes from the latter. If you really want this idea to suceed, you might wanna add your own twist(s) to your SCP.

Idea #2 How can they be primitive if they're sapient and used to technology? Also, this remind me of an ancient Greek myth about the god Hephaestus and his humanoid workers, who were capable of forging metal and were immune to fire. One thing you better remember is that in this site (and on any other creative writing site, really), originality is rewarded. Even if it was not your intention, people might think you're borrowing too many elements from other sources.

Hope this helps!
