What is SCP/The SCP Foundation?

In short, Secure, Contain, and Protect are both the initials of the SCP foundation, as well as the foundation’s steadfast motto. It is a foundation that contains (or attempts to contain) anomalies around the world, whether they’re harmless… or not.

This shadowy organization works outside of public awareness to protect human life to the best of their ability, keeping the general population unaware of what they contain. In their case, ignorance is bliss.

The foundation is well-funded and staffed, and operates with or without the support of the government. They classify anomalies according to how easy or difficult the anomaly is to contain, and not how dangerous it actually is.

To most, there are only three known classifications: Safe, Euclid, and Keter.

Officially, there are five official classes: Safe, Euclid, Keter, Thaumiel, and Apollyon.

Safe-class SCPs are anomalies that are easily and safely contained.
Euclid-class SCPs are anomalies that either require extra resources to contain, or containment isn’t always reliable.
Keter-class SCPs are anomalies that are exceedingly difficult to contain, or are contained by extensive and complex procedures.
Thaumiel-class SCPs are anomalies that are used to counteract other SCPs.
Apollyon-class SCPs are impossible to contain, and are those known to inevitably end the world.

There are other classes that are known on the SCP wiki, but only used in other sites.

For more information, please consider visiting Introduction to the Foundation by the Exploring Series, The Rubber for more animated stories, and the SCP Wiki itself.



What is the SCP Foundation?

It is a fictional organization that is responsible for locating and containing individuals, entities, locations, and objects that violate natural law, and document all possible interactions with them.

In short, they find and contain anomalies.

Is the SCP Foundation real?

Nope! The Foundation is completely made up by various contributors as seen on the wiki. The site may LOOK real, but it is completely fake and full of stories that are written by many people around the world.

Can we write about ANY SCPs? Are there any that are off limits? Should we worry about copyright?

All SCPs are free reign due to the entirety of the 'series' falling under a Creative Commons license. If using a particular SCP, you must credit the work(s) you used in the piece you make. You are more than welcome to make an SCP of your own.

There is only one that will be off-limits due to copyright shenanigans: SCP-173.

You can find more information on this particular anomaly, as well as further info on the Creative Commons licensing, on the actual SCP Wiki.
