SCP Foundation

Type: Collaborative fiction community and protocol Founded: 2008 (originated 2007 on 4chan /x/ board) Status: Active License: CC BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike) Scale: 9,800+ SCP objects, 6,300+ Tales, 16 language branches Recognition: Potentially the largest collaborative writing project in human history (American Journalism Review, 2022)

Overview

SCP Foundation is a collaborative fiction project centered on documenting fictional paranormal anomalies through standardized "containment report" format. The project operates as a protocol-governed creative commons without central creative authority.

Governance Architecture

Four-layer quality system:

  1. Greenlight Policy: New authors pitch concepts to Ideas Critique Forum, require greenlight from 2 experienced reviewers before drafting
  2. Post-publication community voting: -10 threshold triggers deletion review, -20 enables immediate deletion
  3. Staff deletion authority: 3 staff votes + 24-hour timer = deletion; emergency bypass for plagiarism/AI content/malicious material
  4. Cultural norms: Clinical tone convention, standardized formatting

Staff role: Infrastructure only (discipline, licensing, moderation, technical) — NOT creative direction. Creative direction emerges from community voting and cultural norms.

Canon model: "There is no official canon." Operates as "conglomerate of intersecting canons, each with its own internal coherence." No canonical hierarchy enables infinite expansion without continuity errors.

AI policy: Permanent ban on AI-generated content. Summary deletion + permanent ban for violators.

Protocol Features

  1. Fixed format (standardized containment report structure)
  2. Open IP (CC-BY-SA licensing)
  3. Scalable contributions (single article = complete contribution)
  4. Passive theme (paranormal anomalies = everyday life)
  5. Thin curation (quality gates without creative gatekeeping)
  6. Organizational center (single wiki prevents fragmentation)
