I have an old SCP-808 and Wanderlust archive I downloaded a few years ago, not sure where from.

Uploaded it if anyone's interested (my own hosting): http://www.koalatown.net/SCP-808_and_Wanderlust.zip

There used to be a ridiculous amount of articles with SCP-808 interactions, it was out of control.

Does anybody remember the number of the SCP that was a reality warping little girl? There was a pretty cool story/log thing associated with it where she became convinced that one of the scientists was out to get her, and since whatever she believed became true the scientist in question (Clef, I think) actually did begin to hate her and there was a whole mess based off that.

I remember it being a pretty cool read.

I think this is the current version of that: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-239

Right now it says that they're worried the girl might do such a thing, but an earlier version might have had it happen.

Yeah both of those are now no longer linked from the 239 page, so they're not considered part of the current story. I think they got pruned and orphaned around the time they did a sweep to cut out a lot of the overused special named doctors crap.

That name would be so good on a serious researcher.

I binged on the SCP site a few years back, and I seem to recall some sort of an overarching plot about how the foundation is actually a mission given by God, or something otherwise suitably Abrahamic. And I think it was the dumbest poo poo.

Does that still exist, or has that been purged by now?

I don't remember any overarching plot. That might've been one of the possible SCP-001s. (They have a bunch).

there is an overarching plot across a few where humanity were the slaves of the nephilim and one of the neph gods decided to doom the nephilim by freeing humans; then its peers attempted to destroy it for its betrayal, horribly wounding it. now a proto-abrahamic cult keeps it hidden from the notice of its peers via a ritual that also kills them with massive radiation poisoning while north korea's dictatorship is being propped up by the foundation to prevent some artifact's failsafe from turning humanity into slaves again and there was a third part i don't remember

I remember some sort of short story or SCP-entry, where there is a divine being or watcher somewhere in the middle-east, that the Foundation founders first discovered, and it gave them the mission to protect humanity or whatever. I never quite liked it, because it really didn't mesh well with the more mundany weird-science parts of SCP.

I should read through the 001's and see if anything resembles it.

(edit) Actually I think this might be it, or what it has been rewritten in to: http://www.scp-wiki.net/dr-clef-s-proposal

(double edit) Yeah, most certainly this one: "On rare occasions, however, other directives have been given: the most famous of these is the one given to the Founder ("PREPARE")" I'm fairly sure there is a short story about the first meeting somewhere else on the site.

This is Good. But remember, there is no canon. They really discourage multi-author crossovers/arcs these days, at least in the SCP section proper, and the site's better for it.

Reminds me of another SCP (can't remember the number) where they found an underground abandoned Foundation facility that wasn't on any of their files. It had a reset button essentially that could clone everyone and create a world to save us from an apocalypse if necessary. Its computer logs show it had been used... :spooky:

yeah that's the one that won the contest for the 2000 slot

also it's not so much "it's been used" as it is "it's been in use for a very long time, so long that we literally have no idea how many times we've redone the 20th century by this point (but we know WWII wasn't part of the original pattern; this says bad things about our success rate, and with the machines failing..."

also, there's no guarantee that humanity is anything near what it once was, because they don't know if the clowning facilities falling into disrepair is just a recent event or the part where the slippery slope becomes unignorably steep

e: also it's not a multi-author crossover it's just two scps by the same writer that tie into each other's particular canon

Kinda stumbled into this and read 093, which had awesome atmospheric surrealism that tends to define the better works of suspense, but man...they couldn'tve dropped the ball harder when they brought the reveal. Weird eldritch alien stuff is all well and good, but it was so eye-rollingly melodramatic about it, and "sinister religion" was used in such a tiresomely cliche fashion.

Are there any entries which set up a good premise but steadfastly avoid ruining it later?

SCP-860 is one of my favorite articles on the site; the logs set up a fantastic atmosphere. As mentioned earlier, 354 is a decent article as well. The exploration log has such fantastic build-up, but the end could use a nice fix-up.

I think that was because of the guy who created (that version of) 808 adding her to all the other articles. This was back when crosstests were popular.

Later, Clef wrote a new version of 808. SCP-191 is still a cyborg girl who can instinctively communicate with machines, but with some important differences...

Ah, great. Thanks for that. Its actually not too bad, if it wasn't for all the dumb named professors thing and Clef being Satan or some poo poo. I'd forgotten how bad old Foundation stuff was.

Still, some of the stuff in the story was alright (the idea of the girl deciding that Clef hated her made him compulsively try to kill her, the bit where they trick her into thinking she's a witch and then, to stop Clef and to stop her from realising what she can do they trick her with the "emergency spellbooks" - I dunno, I thought it was pretty cool. If it was done without the Clef-satan talking dog on a robot thing it would be really great.

Also the abridged version was pretty drat funny.

This is my new favorite. It's like commentary on the whole SCP thing in general, since it's been around for so long. You do start to feel like YOU'RE the SCP, and all these 13-year-old horror lotharios are experimenting on you to see if they can impress you with your grimdark, and you finally just want to read your newspaper in peace without getting pig testicles on your breakfast.
