oh god, people make me sick
only people I love are the few I care about
I'd link to the pH boards but I think you need an account to view them and the only way to get an account is through Tim so here's the post instead
Heya guys, i've started to pick up writing and become fascinated with the SCP wiki. It's basically a hotbed of user created sci-fi/horror, and its a good read! I'd recommend going through a few articles and absorbing their house style before this contest though.
RIGHT, so onto the contest, The challenge is to produce in my opinion what will be a fantastic SCP article. Look up a few and get writing!
Few ground rules first though:
1. No nicking from the wiki, I've read most of the articles so I know.
2. No memes please. It just makes for embarrassing shit to read.
3. Joke SCP's are allowed and encouraged, but I think a scary/disturbing one is better.
4. Try to pick a random SCP number- none of this - MINE IS THE FIRST SCP LOL.
The prize you say? THE PRIZE? I haven't gone one yet. But at this rate its most likely going to be a team fortress 2 item or something off of the steam store.
I will be judging the contest. Please Notify at the start of your story if its NSFW or goes into nasty details.
The contest starts at the time of writing: 24th of April 2012 and ends in a week! (31st of April 2012)
I hope to see some excellent user generated stories.
Spam me on steam if you want more info, but for now, good luck and have fun.
edit: couple more posts explainin' things
For the random number thing, yes, just any number. As long as it isnt silly like number 069 or THE FIRST ONE LOL.
And SCP stands for Secure Contain Protect, thats why I said its best to observe the house style at the wiki.
EDIT:
Which can be found here: www.scp-wiki.net/
www.scp-wiki.net/about-the-scp-foundation - Have a read of that.
An SCP Article - An Article about a specific creature/object/entity under the authority of the foundation. Irregardless if the specimen has left the foundations confines.
It is to be written in the same style of those ones from the SCP wiki. There is a style guide on their page, or you can get an idea of the style by thoroughly reading through some of the articles present on the site.
I really dunno how else to put it. :V
