SCP Foundation

After 5 Months of work and absence and work on this, it is finally done.

Big thanks for conceptual and writing critique and help goes to: Zyn acidninjacake Mortos Pedantique PeppersGhost AthosNetwork ManyMeats DrCaroll TheMightyMcB

(Phew what a list, hope I got everyone. Could not have made it without you guys!)

And special thanks to Lord_of_Laugh for photoshopping the image of the kitchen. (Minor edits by me.)

I also want to thank pxdnbluesoul for featuring this article on the SCP Café Podcast Episode 20!

The idea for this came to me on the day after new years eve, laying in bed in a friends house.
I looked up at their wall full of travel photographs and thought to myself "What if one of these pictures just… overtook the others?" And that was that. Feels good to have my first article be my favourite kind: A thing what does a thing, that hopefully works!

This will probably not be the last you will read of me! Hope you enjoyed!

Wow… that is a chilling, but extremely well written SCP. Even I can't find any nitpicks on this one. Have an upvote!

Extremely good first go.

I remember reviewing this! Good to see it on the mainsite. Definitely solid chills from this piece, and the table is very well-formatted.

Couple small hiccups here and there (extra space in "Simon Unbeteil , an"), but otherwise a wholehearted upvote from me!

This is a very disturbing description of a person who clearly has an unhealthy obsession with women, combined with the use of their anomalous properties to facilitate this. The ending especially caught me off guard, and was executed fairly well. +1

That said, I found the tone rather weak throughout, and I feel the piece could be greatly improved by going over it in detail.

A very good piece- it really manages to build up an atmosphere of mystery, paranoia and terror without ever revealing too much; an excellent example of implied fear. We never see the killer but the particular way the anomaly works is thematically and narratively resonant, and it overall ends up being excellent horror. +1.

This is skin-crawling. You hit all the right notes to unsettle. There's not much I have to say other than, this is really good for a first article, +1.

Old guides say to call anomalies "it". I don't really agree, but it's convention, so it's fine.

Referring to the victims as "it" is something else entirely. I would strongly suggest you change that.

Thank you so much for 50 upvotes! I had never imagined my first article would be this well recieved, let alone get a rating like this in under 1 week.
Thank you thank you thank you!

:D I really enjoyed critiquing this, and I'm glad it's received good reception. The idea is perfectly simple and you executed it well. Well done and congrats. +1
