SCP Foundation

It's finally up!

Thanks to Zachary Maxwell, mlister, and MeguminTDC for the feedback! (Wish I knew how to link you guys ;~;)

Makes me think of The Wall. That's a good thing.

A wonderful mixture of sad and sweet, not to mention a great representation of depression. I felt sorry for 3052-1 by the end, the poor thing, but at least it has its little potted plant to take care of.

Why refer to it as -1 and the hallucinations as -2, though? Why not refer to the stick figure as 3052 and the hallucinations as -1? I dunno, I guess that's a technical nitpick, but otherwise I really dig this. +1!

an interesting idea, I always enjoy such things

And the story in the end, referring to the animator as "God" due to him creating them, and then he dies of drug overdose because they talked to him…

Amazing!

For someone relatively new here, you are far ahead of those who try to do something and end up failing miserably (without wanting to mock anyone here).

And also, I like interesting ideas written well: a sad pivot full of sweetness, very original, because I have not seen any resemblance to this SCP, that is, I read an original "work".

+1'd

Lots of SCP pages are really scary, lots are funny, and lots are just plain weird. This one, meanwhile, plays 'sad' and 'bittersweet' pretty much perfectly. Enthusiastically +1'd!

I was thinking we didn't need a second animate stick figure (I'm thinking of the guy made out of words), but that last log sold me. +1

Distinctly unsettling and resonant. An odd way of getting at the real core of the individual's surrender to their situational conditions, but an effective one nonetheless. Mechanically, the article's clean, and your clinical tone is spot on - especially important in this case, as necessitated by the fact that you're trying to describe both a person that needs care and the fact that they're essentially a messy jumble of organic components. The dialogue doesn't read as alien or cardboard, and the little sliver of exposition we get from the reptilian feels neither forced or stingy; rather, I believe the mild lack of context that I had elevated my enjoyment of the piece.

Excellent work. +1

Had some pretty interesting revelations while thinking about this skip at work today.

1. -1 has no mouth and no bloodstream, so medication is virtually impossible.
2. -1 thinks the voices it hears are just that, voices in its head that no one else can hear. The Foundation knows the truth. The Foundation knows that -1's voices are more than just a result of a fractured psyche. They know that the voices are alive, intelligent, and want nothing more than to have -1 killed.

I actually derived the most enjoyment from the way the Foundation handles this anomaly. They know it's potentially unstable, and aren't going out of their way to fuck with it.

Solid first work, author.
