New "Story" available! · 3:46am Apr 13th, 2013

TL;DR: Here's something new I wrote! It's dark and not precisely a "story," but it's only ~2000 words and it's new! Plus, if you're into the SCP then hopefully you'll really dig it!


Long version: Every once in a while some friends and I do a Secret Santa Prompt exchange thing, where we submit a prompt and get a random one back, which was actually where Zecora Does Ponyville came from.

Anyway, we did another one this week, and the prompt I received was on the "darker" side of the spectrum than I'm used to, and I almost wrote a parody of it... but instead I actually wrote something pretty darn dark, directly inspired by the SCP Foundation. If you're not familiar, it's a wiki run by creative folks who write fake containment procedures for fictional dangerous supernatural phenomenon, usually erring on the side of creepy and psychological/body horror. What I've written is essentially just such an article: a description of the "object," how to contain "it," and why "it" should be contained that way. There's definitely an entire story written between the lines, while being written in a bureaucratic form format.

Anyway, while a fan of SCP might get even more out of this creative jaunt than others, no previous experience with SCP materials are necessary to read "Scootaloo. Contain. Protect." Give it a shot, just be aware that it's the darkest thing I've ever written!
