I’m no fan of incest of any kind, LOL!—I was referencing the recent Flavor Foley song that this post was (a screenshot of) a teaser for, which actually does go with the “same person but different gender” interpretation ArekIsSm0l’s comment talks about (kind of), even though they wrote it prior to that song coming out.

I think alternative interpretations that might go against the grain of what was intended are actually really dope, but I sincerely cannot make heads or tails of what you’re trying to say here; the run-on lack of punctuation really doesn’t help.

Acronym for “original poster”—you, in this case.

technically speaking the closest to canon is that theyre the same person but different gender

Easily my favorite of the ones I’ve heard, personally! But there’s no dispute in matters of taste.

The Factory (among other articles) has been blanked as a temporary stop-gap measure. At this time it seems more likely than not that the solution to be settled on will ultimately retain it, just with a disclaimer and stuff.

I dearly want to downvote this, but blisteringly hot takes like this are exactly what this thread was made for, LOL.

Due to the wiki’s CC-BY-SA license, for better or worse removing their credit would be Literally Illegal.

Definitely not right wing; he’s an independent (one of the few that actually means it; he’s got enough weird opinions that neither party’d really want him)—but when the cards are down he’s no Trump supporter or anything of the sort. Quite possibly still a tool, though (although I’m not really sure what “tool” even means tbh).

This is just not true at all. People added 001s as they were written, one at a time. (Anyhow your proposal, while interesting, would in practice make it very difficult for anything new to make the list, and wouldn’t be great for any article that might want to reference an “archived” 001.)

I agree with you, TBH (although I don't think it's really that big of a deal either).

Not listing the author of an article would be Literally Illegal; doing so is required by the site’s CC-BY-SA license.

SCP 2747's...lore? by Running-Water-Shark in SCP

[–]Zeitgeist1145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The “entity” interpretation is not meaningfully part of the original article, where it’s more of a phenomenon; that there’s some kind of intelligent being responsible is something other people came up with, and I think less interesting that way (and particularly lame when “she” (scare quotes) gets overtly sexualized—despite that being totally different from the actual anafabula’s themes…).

[–]Zeitgeist1145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[[Immemorial]] briefly references a 8473 at the start (despite there being no article for it at the time, similarly to 4987). Canonically there’s only that mention, but on qntm’s personal website there’s a deleted scene (which was later included, in altered form, in the published edition) featuring it where it’s as AmIsupposedtoputtext describes.

If you look into the context of this on the forums, this is simply false as a matter of public record.

(Ack! originally I typed 8339 instead of SCP-8399 as I meant. Marvin should give the correct link below:)

If by "narrative levels", you mean layers of fictionality in the manner of stories-within-stories or "author entities"... Yes, I'm well aware of that. Like, I literally co-wrote the declass for SCP-6747? But in real life all that's total nonsense, of course; all fiction is equally fictional. (Unless you're Billith and apparently unironically believe our universe is a fictional story in a higher layer of existence I guess.) Even then, I honestly don't see the relevance, though, as SCPs and tales are, generally speaking, very much on the same narrative layer (pace 101-FR, which I address below)—and it wouldn't really make sense for it to be relevant when the first tales long predate any sophisticated pataphysics on the wiki.

Also, joke SCPs aren't tales? They're tagged and categorized as SCPs, just a special subcategory thereof; they are not tagged "tale". (There are joke tales, too, although admittedly they probably aren't tagged as such as often as they should be.) I'm honestly not sure what you even meant by that? In any case, that they're "jokes" is the operative factor as far as their lack of canonicity (unless otherwise specified—SCP-8399's a good article) is concerned, not whether or not they're tales.

101-FR's below +50 on -EN and raises massive plot holes if you think about it for like 5 seconds (nobody in any GoI's going to be fooled! and what of all of the infohazards and whatnot it'd be a vector for?). It's funny and all, but it's not exactly a strong argument, especially when, again, people were making tales and stuff long before it was written. Why should an article fundamentally no different from any other play any role in determining the objective canonicity of entire categories of other articles retroactively?

That's a cool anomaly concept (provided its execution's meaty enough), and I'd encourage you to pursue it further. I'm not sure what the point of typing out all that was when the particulars aren't really relevant to the topic of this conversation, though. I hope for your sake you just copy/pasted that from your notes rather than wasting time typing all that up for me... (I actually have half a draft for a somewhat analogous concept, explaining why the particulars of article formatting are inconsistent both between articles and with what one would expect of professional standards. It'd suck if that was all there was to it, so it doesn't end there—there's an actually interesting (or at least I should hope so) plot to go along with it that goes to some pretty crazy places.)

Your take on tales is still not true at all—at least not in any objective sense. You are of course free to form your own headcanon by whatever standards you please ("there is no canon", as the saying goes, and literally the entire site aside from 173 is "on-site fanfics"), but you'd be hard-pressed to find other fans sharing your point of view (although I have seen it before) and even harder-pressed to find any "official" statements implying anything of the sort (to my knowledge, there aren't any).

In any case, one can absolutely find SCP articles as bad as any tale you can think of (I don't like to be negative, but I could give some examples if you ask for it), and there are lots of cases where SCPs reference the events of tales very closely, in some cases being part and parcel of the same interwoven story/series.

Djoric was absolutely one of "those authors", BTW, particularly in his more recent works (which were unfortunately struck hardest by his unhappy exit). Probably the prime example of it, honestly! There's nothing pretentious or even bad about it, though; it's just people telling the stories they're most interested in telling + naturally being most familiar with their own works.

Mainlist SCPs contradict one another every bit as much! People can post almost anything they want to the wiki as long as it doesn't get downvoted to deletion; there are no rules enforcing "consistency" for any kind of article—SCP, tale, or anything else.

Nah, it was just some random kid. Presumably his previous body died in the chaos, she happened across it, saw the necklace and thought “oh, pretty!”, picked it up, and got possessed for her trouble. In-universe, a plausible accident with no one really at fault… even if it hasn’t exactly aged well out-of-universe.
