Proto-pony


I like the [Prototype] games as well as a few other things

The Princess said that the inhabitants of the other realm wouldn't stand a chance against Sunset. They obviously didn't know about the SCP Foundation.

I could see the SCP Foundation undoing everything Starswirl did and try to "repatriate" all of the magical threats from Equestria back through the mirror, which means unpaid overtime for Twilight et all.

Given what the SCP Foundation does you could expect a research team flanked by armed security (and as much tele-kill and anti-magic weaponry as needed) to try and explore the other side of the mirror.

Though given that the mirror transforms humans into ponies, the Foundation would stick to drone exploration when they discover that since they don't know if the transformation would affect their minds.

great story

This is an interesting way to bring together SCP and the MLP universe, I am hoping to see more out of this in the near future; But for now, into the Tracking bin you go!

Interesting crossover. My first suggestion is that, from what I know about what few conventions exist among SCP articles, the larger overarching anomaly usually receives the primary designation. So in this case SCP-6679 proper would likely be the portal and/or Equus itself. My second suggestion is that there’s no way that the SCP would be designated Safe, since they currently have no control over the portal and also because Sunset would almost certainly require some more-than-minimum containment effort even as just a non-magical, intelligent humanoid entity. The rule of thumb for Safe SCPs is ‘stick it in a box and leave it there, alone, indefinitely’.

The thing about SCP most writers don't realize is the entire source material os copyleft. Derivatives of the source material must in turn be released under an identical copyleft license, in the case of SCP, Creative Commons By Attribution Sharealike 4.0 (CC-BY-SA 4.0).

This actually presents a massive legal conundrum when mixing it with a proprietary IP like My Little Pony, as since the entire story would have to be copylefted as well, that would mean a copyleft source of material containing characters who's owners want to keep control of to themselves. Hasbro, and other companies in general, only tolerate fanfiction; it's technically copyright infringement, and the copyright holders have the legal right to take down any stories that they please.

So in lies the dilemma: do you leave this story proprietary and violate the terms of SCP's license? Or do you copyleft it and risk it being taken down by Hasbro in the event that people try to use it as a workaround against their copyright?

I don't mean this as an attack against you. I am simply stating concerns. If it were up to me, giving credit would be the only requirement to use someone else's material in a story, and copyright as we know it wouldn't exist, so I certainly have no moral objections here. I just feel the need to say this to raise awareness and caution others against potential legal trouble.

What's 'copyleft?'

Copyleft is a system of licensing that is designed to work opposite to how copyright works, hence the wordplay in its name. While copyright is all about controlling and monopolizing information, especially creative works, copyleft allows such information to be used and shared freely, provided that all derivatives come with the same permissions to whoever those derivatives shared with, and so on from there.

For instance, if you write a story about SCP, being derived from the information on the SCP wiki, it would have to be licensed the same way. This means anyone is free to take a copy of it and modify or add to it, then share their altered version. That altered version could then be taken and built on further, so on and so forth. Original versions still exist, and credit for previous versions must be given.

With this, a single story can have many branches, opening up into its own multiverse of stories that all coexist with the canon prime timeline, a timeline which may in turn also borrow from its offshoots, creating a massive collaborative network. This isn't just good for creativity by giving everyone a shared foundation to bring their ideas to life with, but the philosophy extends further into other fields, such as technology that can better benefit everyone by being controlled by no one, unable to be held hostage by monopolistic corporations intent on only allowing the most wealthy access to things that could make people's lives better.

Take content creation tools for example. A program used by, say, an animator can cost hundreds of dollars, meaning one must either already be wealthy, or commit a crime, in order to compete in the field. An open source alternative can be used for free, and people contribute to making it better with code and financial contributions, knowing the improvement of this tool makes things better for everyone. For a project like this, a copyleft license ensures that no one could take the project and keep their additions to themselves and monopolize their innovation.

The monopolization of innovation is an anti-competitive move that is often misportrayed as fair competition by conflating procedure with resources. If someone gets a melon first, that's fair because that's a limited physical resource, but a piece of code can be copied indefinitely, so there is no scarcity, and if everyone is allowed the same copyable tools, everyone is able to compete using their skills and ability to produce a product, which also means that since there are more people able to make the same thing, no one can jack up the price to whatever they want.

I've gotten off track, though. I would encourage people to copyleft their creative works. People will use what you make without permission anyway, so doing this means you'd be free to use what they make as well, so what would be infringement under copyright is instead collaboration. I know many creators fear someone running off with their idea, but what you have will still exist; it cannot be stolen, only copied. If you use copyleft, you won't just not need to protect your intellectual property by destroying another's creativity, you'll be helping yourself by giving yourself a new source of inspiration to draw from.

An interesting thought to think of.

Poor Sunset Shimmer, being in SCP containment is not fun. On top of that, it's extremely likely that the EQG main 6 were all amnesticized, so that's not good for them.

Me interesa mucho está historia, ya que de lo poco que he visto, creo que utiliza la mayoría de los fundamentos de la Fundación SCP y espero ver si llega a desenvolverse en las otras películas y diría la serie, pero creo que ahí no se podría debido a interferencia de la Fundación SCP, solo me queda esperar y ver como está historia sigue, si es que la continuas.
Y me quedaría remarcar que como se han narrado los hechos, Twilight Sparkle se fue por el portal y en su prisa dejo a Spike en ese mundo.

I am very interested in this story since from the little I have seen I think it uses most of the fundamentals of the SCP Foundation and I hope to see if it gets to develop in the other films and I would say the series but I think it could not be there due to a interference from the SCP Foundation I can only wait and see how this story continues if you continue it.
And I would be remarking that as the events have been narrated, Twilight Sparkle went through the portal and in his haste he left Spike in that world.

If there is a spelling error it is due to the translator.

Special Containment Procedures: entity is kept in humanoid Containment cell [REDACTED] with remote locks on the windowless door. Two guards are to be stationed outside at all times. In case of power outage, looks have a manual mechanical option controls from security room next to the entity's Containment cell.

What is even being redacted here?

Nice, I'd love a possible sequel to this

I absolutely love both MLP and SCP. I even made my OC an SCP, and seeing a fanfic crossing them makes me so happy that I'm not the only one.

Bruh, Hammer Down is a little overkill. City Slickers probably could have gotten the job done. Seriously this is why Site Directors don't make the calls for which containment team to leave on standby.

Well this was really good and extremely rare so far...And one of 0 crossovers out there about EQG...and MLP (there both MLP) Please continue this with the SCP foundation Exploring the Other side of the mirror...But first they would use a drone first...And then... Some MTF Squads the teams that deal with magical anomalies And other stuff like that, And as they first discovered they'll be turned into ponies but they're minds are still same...They found a way to prevent that transformation with a device....if equipped By an MTF operative and them enters the portal He wont transform into a pony... once on the other side...If the Device Is take off....It won't do anything to them they won't transform into a pony...it is designed To prevent them from transforming only when they Passed the portal....But they still have to keep it.. it's still very important.... please continue this 😓
