Yeh, I know. But it's what I wanted to write for the D-class contest.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page The Aftermath: But Here's What Really Happened.
I’m a big fan of this. It’s so oldschool, and so succinct, it’s… just a tiny bottle of concentrated Foundation Fiction.
"We really fucked up good this time, didn't we?"
Holy shit you sure did.
It does straddle the line, but demotion to D-Class absolutely fits with this type of Tale and I’m willing to allow it. Hope it sticks, it’s lovely.
The idea is actually kinda cool, but I think it's too subtle. Perhaps with a little bit more to show that Clef and Kondraki are now D-class (perhaps after the trouble they have caused) via things like orange jumpsuits or someone yelling them to refer to each other by their D-class numbers etc.
Otherwise, it can be misinterpreted as the doctors themselves watching 173 due to budget cuts or some experiment.
Even that works, because D-Class are necessary. Though I can still clearly see its Kondraki and Clef, because "Konnie" was what Clef called Kondraki in several older Tales - which this obviously takes cues from. Duke Till Dawn is the big one here (which should be required reading, in my silly and not completely serious opinion).
I debated that? My original idea didn't have the last line of 'until the cleaning crew is done.' But I figured that was needed to show that they were d-class, and not just in an outbreak.

I always wondered how come none of the researchers ever got in trouble for all that mayhem.
+1 all day, any day
Probably should have been left on the discussion page of whichever one of those tales this article is about.
if your reading this your gay
Funny, as the creator of SCP-J, I thought you'd appreciate the brevity. :)

Its a funny joke, sure, but as a tale I'd ideally like to see more.
While this is a good conceit, I feel that it falls down in the seventh act with the betra- What? That joke about extremely short works and pretending they're really long has been beaten into the ground? Goddammit. Fine.
I liked this.
