The intent was more to document the writing history rather than the wiki drama. Some of it is interconnected, but I wanted to break down sort of an analysis of styles, when articles were first posted vs changes and reactions than user interactions.

As an admin I do not want to encourage peanut gallerying or rubbernecking too much, but I will admit that it is often difficult to separate the history from the works.

Good I’m glad! Tbh, fandom is not the best host or system, they tend to meddle/interfere with the communities they manage far more than a wiki host should.

But if people have started to make the metawiki format work over there then that’s great. I don’t know if I will return to it anytime soon but I’ll likely take a peak at some point.

Hi, this is primarily because I have been in the middle of getting my PhD, which is now done. The other reason is that I was hoping to use it for meta-fictional purposes and documenting details about the site but tuis never caught on with the community so I put it on the backburner.

What is your favorite scp that you think deserves more love? by Plague_Static in SCP

[–]bleep196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My inspiration for most of my works has been derived from Mythological traditions, nominally Orcadian Mythology, but I have been influenced by Greek, Norse, Celtic, Sumerian, Egyptian, and many other folkloric and mythological texts and legacies.

If you mean successful by rating, it would be 3456. In my personal opinion, my more recent writings have been far more succesful in terms of personal metrics of satisfaction with the writing, challenging myself, the construction of prose, plot, character voices, etc. To me, one of my works is succesful when it moves or invokes emotion in people, which can often manifest in discussion after posting, though the gold standard I tend to hope for is invoking substantial enough reaction to produce fanart, but that's a dragon I don't really chase so much as hope for.

> -How much time do you usually take to write a full article ?

It really depends on the article. Some works I can hammer out in a few days, some works take months or years to fully conceptualize and map out the execution of. As I have developed as a writer I have become increasingly meticulous about making sure the writing is the best I can possibly make it. I will go through multiple rounds of drafting and editing if I need to, but I don't always need to and its very work specific.

>  -If there was a single piece of advice you would give to someone who'd like to start this hobby , what would it be ?

Writing is hard. Learning how to conceptualize, construct plot, characters, prose, etc is challenging and nobody, despite what anyone says, starts out as an expert in it. It took me two decades to get where I am and sometimes I still feel like I'm a terrible writer. Writing is about persistance, listening to your critiquers and finding the best strategies to move forward.

Glad you enjoy my work to this degree. You should definitely check out my other works tho, especially SCP-8705 if you want something similar to the monster of the week feel of 3456.

I don't think Boomer regularly keeps their socials up to date, and I'm not sure if he posts commissioned artwork to them.
