The SCP Foundation

I'm curious to see who knows and reads through the stories and entries at the http://www.scp-wiki.net/. I personally love it. The quality of the writing is phenomenal in most cases and great at the very least, and don't even get me started on the potential nightmares some of these can induce. I like the research document style and the intentional withholding of information from the reader. In many cases, this activates the imagination, letting it come up with its own idea of what horrors occur in some of these. For example, I just read through SCP-231, and I am...mildly traumatized. The exclusion of information was so perfectly sadistic that I'm not sure I even want to know what 110-Montauk actually is, because what I'm trying to imagine it being is already horrible enough.

If anyone here does visit the site occasionally or frequently, I'm interested to know what your favorite entries are. And even people just now discovering it, feel free to discuss anything SCP-related in here. I somehow doubt this topic will go very far, considering the rather..."underground" nature of the website (Which has been dwindling as of late, thanks to the SCP Containment Breach indie game bringing it a lot more popularity).

As for me, my personal favorite thus far has been SCP-087, the dark and never-ending staircase with a crying child and a disembodied face that appears to stalk people who venture down it. Another one I really like is SCP-026, involving a seemingly abandoned school building with space-time anomalies and "sleeping" students and staff.

I will say that there is some language and violence in some of the entries, but that's mostly contained in extra documents detailing event reports and exploration logs. The main SCP entries themselves are appropriate for this forum, as far as I've seen. There's well over a thousand, though, so I could be wrong.
