# 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)
|
|
|
|
