My 11-year-old son is absolutely obsessed with SCP stuff. Never in a million years did I think I'd see something about it here. Wow.

It's definitely not "just kid stuff" if it gives that impression. There's some seriously talented writers out there that can really grab your imagination. I recall one "tale" that about a time when SCP failed to secure everything all at once, and a normal guy is detailing the world basically falling apart as long as he can. In the right hands a lot of these stories could make magnificent movies, but that's a long sho…

Sounds like an 001 story. For my personal favorite one read "When Day Breaks."

For additional context: this was the winning entry in the SCP's Short Works Contest[1]. The idea was: can you make a good SCP entry in under 500 words? Bonus points if it's under 237 words, the length of the first ever entry.

Of course, the entry with zero words won.

SCP Wiki has really matured over the years; it started out as creepypasta and murder monsters -- many of them well-written, to be sure, and an interesting setting -- but still just basically straightforward horror stories. In recent years some of the writers there have really upped their game, they're tackling much more nuanced and complicated issues than "SCARY THING WILL DESTROY WORLD". I'm particularly fond of htt…

I love this :)

Its still available!

Review from the Lulu page:

This book is nothing like anything you've ever read before. The author himself doesn't read at all, so the book basically reinvents the concept of the book, built on a background of video games and a serious obsession with numbers. If you are a very 'literate' reader and unable to read anything without seeing it against the conventions of a thousand years of literary tradition, you'll have trouble enjoying this book. If you can keep a very open mind, you'll get a rare glimpse to a world seen by a mind that doesn't work like most of ours. I would like to call this a gem of outsider literature, but the term suffers from association with lunacy and incompetence. Nick Smith is neither. He is very conscious of the peculiar workings of his mind, and follows confidently the path laid out by those peculiarities, and the result is something wonderful. Highly recommended!

LEMMiNO has a nice 18 minutes documentary and summary on Cicada 3301: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2O7blSSzpI -- Some "internet lore" off the top of my head: * Body builders try to figure out how many days are in a week, summary dramatised here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECjjLNAOd4 * Time Cube: https://timecube.2enp.com/ -- EDIT: speaking of SilvaGunner, I've never heard this name before, I found two menti…

Did anything ever come of this? Were the ideas ever implemented in the real world?

Regrettably, the actual markers at the WIPP burial site are far more boring and government-y: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WIPP_Large_Surface_M...

The deliberately use simple language, and then go and use "berm" in a way that makes it pretty hard to understand without knowing what a "berm" is. I know a lot of English words, but I'd have to look that one up.
