SCPDeclassified is a community that aims to add meaning and clarity to the stories found in the SCP universe and wiki. I (/u/modulum83) started this project from a series of SCP explanations I did sporadically through the /r/SCP subreddit, but as popular demand grew I started archiving them in one place.
The main goal of /r/SCPDeclassified is to write in an engaging way to answer questions or clarify the symbolism found in highly detailed or confusing articles. In these cases, our goal is to not only cut an article down to basic, well-arranged bits, but also do a line-by-line analysis of the structure and literary elements of the story. Thus, this subreddit fills a different niche from the SCP Explained wiki on Wikidot; instead of quick, laconic explanations, these are essays and walkthroughs, going into deeper detail. They help you gain a better appreciation of the things that might be "hiding" between the lines.
Although I am the creator and head writer for the subreddit, we have gained traction among the wider satellite fandom, and we also encourage others to try their hand at a declassification. We have a handful of guest writers who have joined in the effort for this new kind of analytical explanation, and we hope to have more.
