i've been listening to the longer SCPs via a youtube channel lately. i noticed that nearly all of them have an interesting idea, but also nearly all of them could use a good editor who removes cliches, melodrama, illogical aspects and just general 'dumb shit'. i guess it's a bit like fanfiction / comic book writing, where every thing has to be THE LARGEST and THE OLDEST and THE MOST DANGEROUS SCP CATEGORY MEGA-KETER!!!, so it never really finds a way to rest. it's as if each lovecraft story would have introduced a great old one that's TWICE as evil and TRIPLE as insane as the one before.

@lain MEGA-KETER, EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN SUPER KETER
@lain@lain.com I think the thing I especially hate with modern SCP is that nobody wants to actually come up anomalous objects, just dangerous ones. I think the ones that aren't exactly dangerous but do something that shouldn't be possible are way cooler than the super duper ultra Keter objects. I don't want to read about an indestructible humanoid that rips you to shreds for the 5 millionth time, I want to read about an oven and stove combination that uncooks your food and deconstructs it into its raw ingredients.

@lain That’s pretty spot on, I used to read a ton of them and there’s many that would be really fun if the writer was any good
there’s also a lot of newer ones where most of the page is loldeep nonsense that has nothing to do with the thing itself like it was written by a teenager who just read infinite jest

@sampo the worst offender is always the completely nonsensical REDACTED and EXPUNGED parts which are clearly just there to make things reddit-tier mysterious instead of actually having redacted documents for different levels of access.
@sampo i liked the control games which are essentially 'what if scp was done halfway professionally' but they have the exact same REDACTED nonsense.
