SCP-2489

Original: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2489
Rewrite: http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/brunzell

Effective, simple. Not actually all that different from the original, other than the change in location, but it's a bit more unsettling

Agreed with Riemann. This is simple, straightforward, and weird. Does a fair amount with an economy of words.

SCP-1799

Original: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1799
Rewrite: http://topia.wikidot.com/apphub

This one doesn't really do it for me. It's an exposition dump that doesn't make sense in-universe (laugh's main ability is that people can't talk to him and take him seriously), an inconsistent voice and an ending that just doesn't really land for me at all. It'll probably survive and I'm willing to be outvoted on this, but I'm not a fan

Agreeing with Limeyy on this one. It just doesn't particularly land for me.

Feels like it was written by a big Gears stan. Doesn't really make sense why Gears can just… ignore the effects. I think there's some level of pathos at the end there, but it's not as effective as the suicide watch.

SCP-1613

Original: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1613
http://scpdsandbox.wikidot.com/scp-1613-rewrite

This doesn't click for me. It just kinda… happens, and the comics don't bring enough to the table to make it stand out from the original, nor the environmental themes.
The comics are a bit meh. The original is better off without having explicit comics, as it leaves more to the imagination, imo. I think the last image is suitably weird (in a good way), but otherwise, the comics don't feel like they add much. I won't complain too much if this gets approved, but it's just not quite there in my opinion.

SCP-1908

Original: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1908
Rewrite: http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/stoner993

Incomplete (missing conprocs) but I like what is here.

I'm not sure it's a rewrite so much as a sequel? I don't know how I feel here, really. I don't think this preserves any element of the original. It's fine. I guess we ended up approving 031, which this is definitely the most similar to in terms of how it relates to the original. I'm gonna pass on this one.

The deviation from the original is one thing, but honestly, it's just not that interesting of a rewrite in my book. The bulk of the story is done in one over-told interview log, which doesn't really grab my attention at all. Also saying no to this one.

The humour doesn't really land for me and outside of that, its just kinda a bored guy telling a story. I don't think the concept is necessarily impossible to pull off, but this really doesn't do it for me. Also, while I'm totally okay with articles that are very different from the original, this only really shares the name, and even that's barely.
