SCP Foundation

I got almost none of that from the article, but in a good way of it being incredibly subtle and open to interpretation. My only complaint is that I think the last note explains too much and is too Mr Exposition. Also, I think it'd be more fun if you put your explanation here under a spoiler collapsible =3

I feel that if the SCP Foundation took place in Gaiam's world of Anicent Gods in America, this would be part of the formula. I don't know how it would go, probably lead to some kind of epic war between Old and New Gods with the Foundation in the middle.

Keep up the good work.

I got about halfway through writing before I realized how similar(in concept anyway) this was to 343, but then I decided to just own it.

I mean, this is how I imagine the Foundation would actually contain a god of this power level. If you notice, 343 and 2343's altered containment procedures are almost identical, that is a deliberate reference (along with the number).

I actually didn't make those up myself. I'm using items that were already established on the site, though in higher amounts than are probably used in any other SCP to date (because this is containing God).

The reality anchors were first used in SCP-1451, and have been used in multiple pieces since, most notably SCP-2000.

The neutralizers were used in SCP-2996. So these weren't just things Cimmerian made up.

Certainly your own opinion and you're entitled to it, but as Decibelle explained below, Kant Counters and Scranton Reality Anchors are a real thing and have been a pretty major part of site lore for a while now.

Additionally, SCPs that contain SCPs are also a real thing, and they're called Thaumiel-class objects. What you're describing, however, is just a piece of equipment, and not a skip.

To put it in the words of somebody blah blah who said something once, "sufficiently advanced technology will always look like magic to the uninformed."

I, for one, love made up devices. Like, the P.K.E. Meter from Ghostbusters.

One of things I look for in SCPs is a tip found in "How to Write An SCP" Guide. It states the following:

"Act as if every SCP will be the first that someone will read. That means do not put too much in there that requires knowledge of anything else on the site. While many people enjoy linking things together into a larger story, it really improves the quality of the work when each SCP can be enjoyed in full as a stand-alone work."

The overall problem here is that Reality Anchors do not adhere to this tip. It makes it so others have to go around and try to find the articles (or may not even know there were other articles explaining them; like my case) and it just kind of clutters the readers understanding if they have to jump around figuring stuff out that is not in the article itself.

But perhaps my downvote was misguided and my problem lies with something more encompassing. Ill switch to neutral for now.

@djkaktus It is not just a piece of equipment, otherwise you could say that about half the equipment/machine/technological based SCPs. You could call SCP-914 just a piece a equipment that does something. The Foundation could probably spend the time to figure out exactly the fictional science/technology behind it, and maybe reproduce it. Would it then not be an SCP anymore?

I'm actually a big fan of Scranton Reality Anchors, because some skips make no sense without them. If you've got something that can, say, teleport unlimited distances or rewind time, there's no variant of "put it in a box with thick walls" that seems at all believable. And as fun as they are in moderation, I would really prefer we don't require ancient Kabbalistic rituals or friendly Class 9999 reality warpers restraining all skips of this caliber.

Also, "Reality Anchor" gives a pretty decent idea of what the device does in general.
