The SCP foundation is a fictional organization featured in stories created by contributors on a collaborative fiction project. An "SCP" is an object or an event that is anomalous in nature, and one that the SCP foundation, commonly referred to as just "Foundation", has identified, and attempts to document, understand, and contain. The majority of works in this project are "SCP files": mock confidential scientific reports that document various SCPs and associated containment procedures.

I started reading SCPs back in 2013 when one of my best friends introduced them to me. It attracts me a great deal in that it's both science fiction and collaborative. Throughout the years, people from all around the world worked together and created many incredible pieces of creative writing I've ever seen (keep in mind however that I'm poorly read). Each SCP can be more than just a story, a plot, by its description you can imagine its origin, its purpose, its future, and the effect it has and the truths it gives insight to on humanity. Or, it could be just a story, but an incredible vast and intricated one. They could be scary and disturbing, often both; they could be absurd and esoteric, often both; they could be lovely, heartwarming, and fantastically hopeful.

SCP articles are (usually) given a title on the wiki, one that is descriptive to a certain extent and gives hint into what the object that the article illustrates actually is. Many of these entries can be cryptic, to say at least, and to figure out what they actually are, a bit of creativity and investigative prowess is required.

Here is a list of my favorite SCPs:

Sometimes, SCP articles will be grouped under hubs and canons. By default, there is no set of truths that the writers have to agree on about the SCP foundation universe. A piece could exist (mostly) independently of others. However, a list of recognized canons and hubs exist. Stories under each hub share a central theme, and under each canon, a common history.

To make reading more enjoyable, I've curated e-books of SCPs and tales:
