Welcome to the SCP Foundation. We are a community devoted to expanding and creating the SCP Universe. If you are new, we recommend visiting the SCP Foundation Official Wiki in the links below or just ask for help in this subreddit.

A few rules:

0. Don't Be a Dick.

  1. All posts must be directly related to the SCP Wiki. Posts need to directly relate to the SCP Foundation Wiki and things based off of its universe. Content based on sister sites - like our international branches - is allowed.
  2. Follow Reddiquette. Follow the rules of our site, Reddit. Don't upvote-beg, don't doxx, don't spam, etc.
  3. Overdone posts will be removed. Check Reddit search before posting. Overdone posts will be removed. This includes containment or termination proposals, posts about interactions of SCPs with Stuff, and the capabilities or limitations of popular SCPs.
  4. No roleplaying. This is not the subreddit for SCP Roleplay! Speaking as if you are in some way in the world of the SCP Foundation or that some aspect of it is real is considered roleplaying on r/SCP. Roleplay spaces are available elsewhere.
  5. The Critique Rule. SCP draft posts must link to your Drafts Critique Forum thread. Just idea posts are not allowed on r/SCP. See the Ideas Critique forum instead.
  6. No porn or shock images of any kind. No porn, either submitted or in comments. No extremely disturbing visual images or shock sites.
  7. Credit the original creator. If you're posting someone's work put their name in the post title and link the source in the comments. This also applies to referenced or traced images.

If you're posting a screenshot from an article, mention its name in the title. (Overdone articles/collab logs will be subject to Rule 3.)

  • No media posts on Thursdays. + No memes outside Mondays. + Memes have special requirements.

  • To vary the types of content being posted and discussed through the week:

    Media posts cannot be made on Thursdays - text posts only.

    Memes and jokes may only be posted on Mondays.

    Additionally, the image content of memes on r/SCP must be related to SCP even if their title and text were to be removed. So for example simple object labeling memes are not accepted.

    Midnight Eastern Time is used to determine when these weekly events begin and end.

  • No AI-generated content. AI-generated text, images, etc. are not allowed on this subreddit.

    Does each of the GoI’s have their own unique Nationality’s?

    I was wondering if the GoI’s have their own nationality, pending on the country they were founded from. I know there some members of the GoI’s are totally from different Nationalities that they are working for, but I am Inquisitive to the location they were Founded from. Here are some list of GoI’s Nationalities that may founded from, in my perspective. (If any of them doesn’t belong to this Nationality, please correct me and please confirm me if I got it right, bc I’m not 100% sure.)

    SCP Foundation: UK or USA.

    Arcadia: USA. (I presume)

    A.W.C.Y?: France. (Probably?)

    Chaos Insurgency: UK or USA.

    Chicago Spirit: USA.

    Commission on Unusual Cargo: East India.

    The Factory: UK? (I presume)

    The Global Occult Coalition: USA.

    GRU Devision “P”: Soviet Union.

    IJAMEA: Empire of Japan.

    Manna Charity Foundation: USA?

    MC&D: UK.

    Medician Academy of Occult Art: Italy.

    ORIA: Iran.

    Parawatch: USA? (Unsure)

    SPC: USA? (Probably)

    Unusual Incident Unit: USA.

    And the Rest of GoI’s Nationality’s are just no clue.

    Are the creators of Scp secret labs on here?

    Basically I've been having an idea for an scp that I think would be fun to add to the game,

    I haven't made the scp a official post yet, but i wanted to see if there is a possibility of the creators seeing this and adding it to there game.

    Police Force of the Foundation?

    I searched trough the internet but i never found something about a normal kind of police force in the Foundation. I mean theres the ISD but i feel like that appears as more of a FBI and not like a police. Is there anyone who knows something about a police force inside of the Foundation?

    can you write an SCP set in any facility?

    Like say I wanna write an SCP and place it in a specific facility, but that facility has a canon tied to it. Can you just do it, or do you have to ask permission to that canon's writer/s first?

    Looking for a specific article

    A few years ago I read an article in which the Chaos Insurgency was depicted as the SCP. It talked about its true motivations and I believe there was also something about a "Great Reset", or maybe I made that up. I loved the article back then and I recently tried to search for it, but with no result. I'm pretty sure it was an SCP-001 article.

    Does anyone know where it is? Has it been deleted, and if so, why? And if it has been deleted, is there still a way to read it?

    Perhaps-deleted SCP on Cthulhu and R'leyh?

    Not the (very funny) 2662 "Teenage Cthulhu", but a page that I'm SURE I've seen somewhere (maybe not on site, maybe not canon) that first is a standard SCP write-up of what is obviously Cthulhu and his sunken City, but without using their names at all (Cthulhu itself is just the -1), and then an annoyed annotation from an O5 or similar saying "this is an obvious hoax from some Lovecraft fan, I'm ashamed that anyone fell for this, delete all mention of this from all media" with the amusing touch that "Lovecraft" is redacted.

    I don't remember if that's the whole thing or if there's some subtle hint that something anomalous is actually involved, which is one of the reasons I want to find it and read it again.

    Link eagerly sought!

    looking for an scp

    scp was a chatroom (not sure if the chatroom itself was the scp or the users in it) where the users would post cognitohazard memes iirc.

    SCP philosophy?

    I’ve always found the SCP Foundation universe fascinating—its take on secrecy, control, and how it mirrors real-world systems of authority is brilliant.

    I recently stumbled on a perspective exploring the philosophy behind it and its deeper themes. Have you come across similar analyses or have your own thoughts on the SCP's hidden meanings?

    Here’s the link if you're curious: Secrets, Power, and Paranoia: The Philosophy of the SCP Foundation. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Statistics of anomalies

    Statistically speaking, the anomalies we observe being contained are likely extremely rare in the grand scheme of things.

    This perspective can vary depending on the canon, but if we assume the Foundation is hyper-advanced—capable of containing any anomaly within at least the observable universe—the number of over 8,000 anomalies seems relatively small by comparison.

    I believe anomalies are more common than we might think. They likely follow a bell curve distribution, possibly skewed to one side. The most common anomalies are probably below the microscopic level and may just be quantum fluctuations.

    Therefore, the anomalies that are actually contained by the Foundation are likely statistical outliers—extremely rare events.

    What do you think?

    SCP scenarios/times when the foundation has been leaked to the world?

    Also situations where they've had to reset the worlds population using the SK scenario machine thingy. And if they'd have to mass memory wipe people due to being exposed?

    Did Cain know Able was alive prior to being contained?

    So I was reading 073 and 076 and then I read the story "Maybe God will forgive you if we both beg" and I'm just wondering, did Cain know Able was alive prior to being contained? Because Cain knew in his file but did he find out because the foundation pretty much gave the exact description of Able or did he already know prior to that? And if so, how?

    It's just something I'm curious about.

    “Left to the Reader’s Imagination”and SCPs

    Jumping off a recent post, why is “left to the reader’s imagination” no longer an acceptable presentation for an SCP? I see a lot of critiques of old SCPs “having no narrative” or “not enough narrative”, but the reason I like them is you are given enough detail or suggestion of a story for your imagination to take off.

    I like little hints of things that are strange or unexpected and they always get me thinking of more. There are whole movies I have seen and books I have read, even episodes of TV shows where the only thing that stuck with me over time was a detail left to the reader’s imagination. A door to a baby’s nursery closed with a “baby is sleeping” sign hung on the doorknob in The Walking Dead in one episode is an example.

    That suggests a better story to me than ten pages about the baby and their family might be because I can imagine ten interesting stories.

    I’m not accusing people who want full-on stories for SCPs of having no imagination. I’m just confused because isn’t Tales meant for full-on stories? Why does an SCP article have to be both now?

    Does “contain” strictly mean “capture” or can it also mean “prevent knowledge of?”

    Hey y’all!

    I’m making this post for selfish reasons (trying to write an article) but I thought it was an interesting question generally, so hopefully it flies.

    I’m trying to write an article which has an SCP that is very difficult to contain, but knowledge about it is very easy to prevent (for context, it’s a species of memetic entity which resides in most of the human population).

    Despite its prevalence, it’s not at all necessary for the foundation to capture it to uphold the veil of secrecy, so would capturing one instance for testing and preventing knowledge of the rest count as “contained?”

    Sorry is this question is trivial, I couldn’t find an answer online
