l've been interested in writing for the SCP Wiki for a while now, and I'm particularly drawn to the style of Series 1 and some of the earlier Series 2 material.

I'm not necessarily trying to recreate early SCPs exactly. What interests me is the relatively concise clinical presentation, combined with characters and lore that have more depth underneath the document.

I'm considering creating several anomalous characters and Foundation staff who could appear across SCP articles and Tales, with their own relationships and history, while keeping the actual SCP entries relatively straightforward.

For people who have written for or followed the SCP Wiki for a long time:

1. Does this style still work well with the current community?
2. What distinguishes a genuinely classic SCP from a modern article that's simply imitating the old formatting?
3. Are character driven and recurring SCPs generally well received?
4. How much modern SCP lore should a new writer understand before attempting something like this?
5. Are there newer SCPs you'd recommend reading that achieve a similar atmosphere?

I'm still pretty much in the concept stage, so I'm mostly just trying to understand the current writing culture before I start developing anything seriously.

Anyway, thanks for reading! :)

Hi everyone. I’m 28 and I’m preparing to write my first novel. It’s a crime family saga set in a fictional country, and I’ve spent a lot of time outlining the story, developing the characters, and building the world. The more I learn about writing, though, the more I realize how much I don’t know.

I’ve been reading about things like POV, scene structure, character arcs, and story structure, but I’d really like to hear from people who have actually written novels.

Looking back, what’s one thing you wish someone had told you before you started writing your first novel?

What mistakes should I try to avoid, and what should I focus on learning instead of worrying about?

Sorry for asking so much questions.

Thank you. I really appreciate any advice.

Hi everyone. I’m (28M) working on my first novel and realizing there’s a lot I don’t know about the craft. I’ve been reading about structure, POV, and scene construction, but I’d love to hear what experienced writers think are the most important lessons for a beginner. Thank you.

Hey everyone. I figured I'd give this a shot. I'm currently looking for work in the Sacramento area, especially around Roseville/Rocklin if possible. I'm open to full-time or part-time work and willing to learn quickly. I'm dependable, adaptable, and good at handling fast-paced environments. I'm open to things like:

• retail • warehouse work • office/admin work • customer service • restaurant/service industry • entry-level tech or IT-related positions

If anyone knows places actively hiring or has recommendations, I'd really appreciate it. Even better if it's somewhere that's actually responsive to applications right now.

Thanks in advance.
