It is brilliant.
+1 on so many levels.
In fact, +1 so hard that if in the future someone reads this comment and wants to discuss why this article rules, please give me a wikidot pm.

Is this by chance a reference to my wikiwalk edit where I linked 1471 to Capone in that spot, because it seems out of nowhere.

Other than that, I very much enjoyed this, I am a big fan of meta stuff, and this was no exception.

Truly an interesting article for obvious reasons. The Unknown tab led me to believe that the narrator was talking about himself (as either the villain or the Giver) and it felt just tiiiiiiiny bit like Nobody. The last part made me actually think that THAT was the document. I didn't connect it with 055, but I really like the secret

(quick question, how do I color text?)

at the end.

Still, overall, a fun little ride that left me wanting to know more about what is going on. As seems to be the trend here in discussions: +1.

As far as I'm aware, the listpages module caches pages for 60 seconds, so if you refresh more frequently than that, it won't show you anything different. I will note that there is no alternate 055; that one's fixed. It's only the first three tabs that change.

You won't, however, miss a whole lot of the story by not seeing the extras. I tried to keep the permutations very similar, especially in the first tab, so you'd get the same experience reading it no matter which page came up.

After I read tab 1 I skipped right on to the end to see the actual SCP to confirm my thoughts and I was right. Then went back to the other tabs in order. My other two were 2006 and 2991 which was kinda interesting to see how they got changed up but I really liked tab four and of course the fifth one was really the one I wanted to see more of. After reading though it all I slipped over into the discussion to see if there was anything more about it and found out there are good number of other articles to read.

So, I've been sitting here refreshing the page, and refreshing the page, and refreshing the page and I keep getting the same set of three over and over and over again. I've been ticking things off a list when I get them but so far I haven't been able to get the alternate 55 (which it seems a lot of people here in the discussion thinks is the best one) nor an alternate 1271 (which is the one I REALLY want to read since I just want to give SCP-1471-A a hug) but I've been at this refresh game for over an hour and am getting really tired of seeing the same set of three again and again.

It's a very neat idea, both the SCP itself and the random articles but it might just be best if you had them ALL show up in a bunch of tabs instead of only having three chosen at random. You have a story you want to tell, I want to read your story but if parts of the story are never shown to me I' can't read them.

As for the SCP itself it's a fun idea and I'm kinda curious as to this Giving Man and the "monster". My guess is Falzon was the Giving Man and 3245 is the "monster" but that kinda seems too obvious. Maybe I'm missing a key bit of information from one of the two alternative articles I've not been able to read. (Yes this is annoying me.)

Unclear why this was a contest entry, since it's not remotely scary, nor does it really seem intended to be. (It could be, but only if the reader does all the work to getting there; sadness isn't the same as scary.)

Part of the problem with the interchangeable SCP rewrites is that they're… well, interchangeable, and it left me wondering why you didn't just use a test log, rather than a fancy format screw, besides the fancy format screw looking more impressive, which I suppose is fair enough. But also, you really could have done a lot more with the SCP rewrites, which are neither all that funny nor all that interesting once the novelty wears off.

I did like UNKNOWN DATA quite a bit. The hidden text itself was a bit on the nose in the phrasing and could use some tweaking.

As others have pointed out upthread, entity trapped in a narrative has been done before, and this really doesn't break enough from the mold to make that aspect of the article shine. While some of the iterations got a good chuckle out of me, they really didn't leave much of an impact, and did not add much to the effect of horror.

Could it be improved? Certainly. There is plenty of fertile ground and directions that can be taken with the entity trapped in a narrative trope that could be played to create a horror article. As is, however, this article just doesn't do much.

-1.

That said, I like the concept, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't snort when 76 was the first thing to come up and I realized what I was about to read. It's a cliched topic, but it's an amusing one.

I'll be withholding my vote for now as again, I don't think this is 3000-worthy, but if it gets polished up and re-numbered after the contest is over, throw me a bone and I'll give it another read.

It's a creative approach, and I can get behind the story (not so much the characters, more on that later), but for me, the execution was botched on a few fronts.

Alright, so the first doc I came across was for -76. I read the entire thing, and despite you making some minor changes as to not directly lift content, I couldn't tell the difference - it may as well have been copy-pasted. This goes for basically everything else aside from -055. I just read a ton of material I've already seen before!

The interviews themselves are repetitive. I got it after the first trio - I don't know if it was necessary to do a dozen when they almost all have the same material ( 1. I'm a shitty murdering prick. 2. Yes you are, and I hate you.). That was the second strike for me.

Now, all the exposition comes pouring in across the 055/unknown docs, as well as us finally accessing the basic details of the skip. It's far too much, all at once, and it's unsatisfying and comes across as heavy-handed.

I'd like to suggest, despite the current surviving status of the skip, a significant rewrite. I think the backstory of the pair, what they mean to each other and how they interact, could instead be spread through the various documents - similar to how you executed 055's. There is so much wasted opportunity to work in small humiliations and punishments to 3K, as well as retaliations from it in both the SCProcedures and description. There's opportunity to actually characterize the pair in how they act - defining them by what it is they do in the narratives instead of simply talking shit.

I think you're leaning on the interview crutch too much (MAl0 aside, that actually made sense). It seems contrived for SCPs which don't include said interviews - I think the individual articles would be stronger if they held the structure of the original.

Spreading that exposition out actually gives you more to say in each iteration of the document. It was a chore to actually access everything, and unlike (for example) the minotaur (which has literal verbatim text repeated in each iteration) nothing past the first couple felt fresh. Opening these up with more hints as to what's happened/what is going on gives readers something to hunt for and look forward to as they piece together the puzzle you lay before them. If this were the case, I'd be interested in reading every damn one to get the full experience - as it stands, I scrolled past a bunch of regurgitated content to access a few contrived, repetitive chunks of dialogue.

Downvote because I think this could have been so much better.

Mnesi- "remembering" is stemmed from mnasthai "to remember"; with the - tic suffix for medical agents it becomes mnestic. Which therefore is a drug that induces remembering. Adding the a- prefix would negate this and therefore amnestic would be a drug that induces forgetting. Since in the context the subjects are being expected to remember something, a drug that induces memory makes sense.

We have seen "entity trapped in narrative" in at least four articles I can think of already, and this does a few things to distinguish itself a bit, but really doesn't do enough to feel genuinely original in this regard. I also wasn't especially scared here, and while this has horror elements, I don't think it is successful horror. It was a very entertaining and well-crafted read, though.

Well, here it is at long last. I went all out for this contest, with my most ambitious article to date, and I really hope people get something out of it, because I've been severely pessimistic about my ability to write skips for the last year or… five.

Many, many, many thanks to anqxyranqxyr for writing the ListPages code for this, helping me figure out how to get my ideas to work on Wikidot, and a 0 hour hotfix. Thanks as well to TuomeyTuomey, Aiden EldritchAiden Eldritch and A Random DayA Random Day for further tech assist.

Feedback thanks goes to JorethJoreth, ARD and djkaktusdjkaktus. I hope I've done their suggestions justice.

Further thanks involves spoilers, so do consider going back and refreshing a few times before you head to the collapsible.
