What's an SCP?

"The SCP Wiki is a collaborative speculative fiction website about the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization that contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities away from the eyes of the public — or so it may appear.

The wiki is a collaborative effort made possible by the contributions of hundreds of authors."

There's approximately 9000 entries follow the SCP format, on top of the countless tales/short stories set in universe. I prefer the standard SCPs over the tales.

All under creative commons, no one owns anything, it's just a collaborative writing site!

There is no canon besides what the authors want to establish. It's been my favourite website for 16 years, the site is 17 years old. I remember when there was only Series 1, and now there are 9 series! It's fun to check back every now and again to see new entries!

This was the very first SCP, it was posted to a 4chan board over 17 years ago, and people just ran with it. It's hosted by wikidot now.

Have fun exploring!

I like the school bus on the moon one. It was the first one I read where I thought, "wooooah, that's creepy!"
