    Guess I’m the night owl tonight.

    I’m almost at the end of reading the entire SCP catalogue. It’s taken about 3 years and honestly, it was worth it.

      Literally one of my fav sites. I was reading it back when they just started the competition for the 1000 series. And to see it grow the way it has is just incredible. There are so many amazing entries, tales, GoIs.

      DjKaktus remains my favourite writer, especially their newest set of SCPs tying that flesh cult in with demons and folklore.

      The Stairs (in the 000s iirc) was one of the first I read and it creeped me the fuck out. The Old Man as well. And anything that involves SCPs and archeology, hell yeah dig up that creepy-ass temple in Egypt/Persia/Mesopotamia and then make up a bunch of rituals from all the Abrahamic faiths to keep the “scary unknown” contained. Right up my alley.

      Sorry for gushing! I just get too excited about that site 😬😅 What are your favourite ones???

        I remember when 179 came out and I followed it on and off for years then lost track. Came back and was blown away by how far the whole thing has come! Series 1 was sooooo good, but the intense and really long Kaktus ones blew me away as well.

        DJKaktus and Harry Blank are probs my favorites currently. Harry Blank has a cannon for site 54 which is really, really good. Just finished it the other night and it was basically a novel.

        My personal favorite has to be the one where it’s a Sopranos DVD, and you can keep going into TV screens in the show. So they zoom into a TV in the Sopranos house, then zoom into another TV in the show that’s on and so on and so forth. It’s really, really good. SCP 2614.

        Oh and the basketball game, SCP 1733. Read it tonight if you get a chance. Actually scared me.

        My other favorite is probably the whole thing about the fairy queen that gave her heart to the SCP1000 children of the night. It’s a Kaktus one that’s really epic.

        The canon ones can be really good too, but problem is a lot of them are unfinished, so you get really into it, then it ends on a cliff hanger.

          Oh god, 1733 😭 I’d forgotten until I went to the page and saw the picture. Never play that again, every request for testing should be denied.

          Alright, I don’t recall reading 2614, but I now have a severe case of the heebie jeebies. Utterly creep-inducing.

          And now I’m back to reading this site, hooked again. I like series 1 just because they are quite contained, but the later series’ where an over-arching lore is established over multiple SCPs and tales is so damn addicting.
