The problem is I am not sure what to use for the file picture.
Images are not required for SCP articles.
Did I do the creative process for SCPs wrong? I thought of my SCP before looking at outside material, am I supposed to look at free use pictures for making SCPs?
Most people come up with the draft before finding an image. Some people get inspired by an image and use that. Neither approach is "wrong".
Or should I try to find a photo, maybe not of the creature itself, but of something related to it.
It's better to have no picture at all than to attempt to shoehorn in one. Effort should be focused on the writing, not the image (which again, isn't required).
Also I posted my idea in the brainstorming forum, but no one has responded to it.
I took a look at your posting history, and it's because you replied to yourself: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-5467942/the-light-in-the-forest-scp
Reviewers prioritize threads with no replies, so self-replying lowers visibility a lot.
Should I post it again, on a newer post?
I generally say don't, since repeat threads cause spam buildup. I will ask a member of the Forum Criticism team to assist you sometime today. Please keep in mind that the forums move slowly because IRL commitments come first, and no one, not even staff, are paid for the work they do on the site.
