As cool as that would be, it sort of makes them stand out as those sorts of outfits aren't all that common.

I know, but the ones i read at the time used [redacted] poorly in a way that just made it annoying rather than interesting, now that i've read another 60 pages, I see that the well-written ones are great.
If anyone's interested, the SCP Minecraft project's pretty much in full swing by this point.

Lost connection to sandbox halfway through writing my new scp, nopenopenopenopenope
I have an idea for an SCP - this is my first one
--------------------------------------------------
[B]SCP-1007[/B]
[IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/67rqx4.jpg[/IMG]
[I]A Commodore PET model similar to SCP-1007.[/I]
[B]Item #:[/B] SCP-1007
[B]Object Class:[/B] Euclid
[B]Special Containment Procedures:[/B] SCP-1007 is to be contained on a desk in Site-17. The computer is not to be required any special condition, as it does not differ from a normal computer in a physical perspective.
[B]Description:[/B] SCP-1007 appears to be a standard Commodore PET home computer, manufactured in 1980. It has a fairly clean surface, and appears to have been recently under a cleaning procedure. A sticker sits near the keyboard, reading "████████ ██".
SCP-1007 was found in the basement of an uninhabited property in Great Bend, Kansas after reports of a bomb blast near the border of the countries of Spain and Mali. When the timecodes had expired, [DATA REDACTED]
When the command ████████ ██ is entered, a series of five messages are shown on screen. The messages contain a timecode and cordinates that tell the location and time of a bomb detonation. They appear to be randomly generated, as most of the observed bomb blasts have hit the ocean. If any other commands than ████████ ██ are entered, an error screen will appear and the command is never transferred succesfully. It is currently unknown if explosions are cancelled when power is turned off the computer, but it is assumed not.
[B]Addendum:[/B] Upon its discovery, this text was found written on the screen.

When the time was 15:10:33, the computer went back to the main screen. Agent Millwood wrote the command that was written on the sticker, and a set of new codes went up on the screen.

The computer was later put in SCP possession, as there had been reported a bomb blast at 16:40 in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia.
It sounds like a cool idea, but the way the Foundation discovered it is a bit vague. If there were bomb blasts on one side of the world, why would somebody be looking in the middle of Kansas for the cause?
I both love and hate the SCP foundation. It's interesting and entertaining as hell, but it's worse than TVTropes in terms of THIS LINK SEEMS INTERESTING, YOU WANT TO READ THIS, DON'T YOU? HEY LOOK, IT'S 3 A.M.

I don't know. I guess someone came across it and called the Foundation - i don't know who, but it is cool if it has a little secretive feel to it, i think.

The vagueness and deus-ex-machina feel of it overpowers the idea's cool, imo.

Okay, how about there was a Foundation agent on holiday in Kansas when he came across it? That makes sense.

Oh well. I refined it a little and tried to make it a little less vague, by explaining how the computer was found.

Is that sarcasm? Because I've heard some people criticize the foundation for just being an outlet for some people's fantasies.

I believe he was referring to the relatively large population of weaboos who frequent tvtropes.
I have an idea for an SCP, a juicer that seperates food and objects into their compontents. Like, putting in water and reciving hydrogen and oxygen. It dispenses in cups that are unbreakable, also, all products are in liquid form. Oh yes, something such as a meat pie would give out a beef steak, butter, flour lard etc from the past.

Coarse setting on 914.
i thought there was something like that i read.
Also Cup of Joe literally can do that already.
So, I figure for Halloween I'm going to try doing the Foundation logo for a jack-o-lantern. I think it might be too complex for the pumpkin to maintain structural integrity though.
SCP Idea. The ring of the dead.
Putting it on stops your bodily functions, but keeps your brain alive. You become, in effect, a zombie with intelligence- and you can speak to the deceased, and if you place it upon a dead body, their brain functions start working again too.
Shame is, your body acts like it's dead. You rot, etc. If you have it on for a while, and gain some rot, take it off, and the rot'll be there and probably cause some serious injury.

Wouldn't that be pretty much irreversible after you left the ring on for more than a few minutes? Once your heart stops and your muscles become oxygen starved, I think you're fucked. (I don't know the particulars of the time windows for these sorts of things, but I know they're not long.)

If there was no danger, it would be way over powered.

Yes, but if there's no balance, you get towards becoming that anime character joke SCP.
I just realized that it's pretty close to the gauntlets in Torchwood. The first one gets canned pretty quickly because it lets you talk to the dead at no cost, while the second one has more lasting consequences and, as a result, is more interesting.
Creating SCPs is the same as creating any character. They need to be dynamic and deep, not static and flat.

That was pretty good, I actually forgot that it was the sandbox for a bit, but I remembered when I got to the bit about 110-montauk. I'd leave out that comment, if I were you. It doesn't quite fit, and seems to be purely coming from our obsession montauking over here. Also, it's a bit of an unnecessary cross-reference. Other than that, it's very, very good, but does feel unfinished.

Removed the Montauk bit.

Right then!
First, I would like to comment about the conversation bits.
Don't write thing like stammering "D-do not", however, in my opinion, "uh" is acceptable. Instead, add notes that explains hesitation or pauses.
Also, about Addendum XXXX-04b; I doubt that 05 would redact information due to respect.
They are cold and they are factual.
In fact, I think you should remove Addendum XXXX-04b entirely, since it doesn't serve any function or purpose anymore.
And this is only my personal opinion, but I don't like the "At this point, Mr. ██████'s face turns a bone white colour." I think you should remove that and replace it with something else.
In spite of all this, you have made something good.
The main reason the virus was downvoted, from what I have seen, was because it, although well-written, was bland and not original. But this is something that deserves a spot on the site.
The interview seems a tad forced, should the villager really be so aware that he was converted, but doesn't know how?
