The SCP Foundation Cliché Contest

Come one, come all, and get your common pitfalls ready!

The Cliché Contest is here! What does that mean?

Create an article (tale, SCP, or otherwise) that contains at least one (1) of the common clichés associated with the SCP-universe.

This contest is meant to be a challenge - there is a reason that clichés are common pitfalls. However, we want to see you take these clichés and make them good, make them work. We're going to have a forum thread right here for users to suggest common clichés and pitfalls, and 10 will be chosen on December 21, 2018, before the posting period begins. Some good cliché ideas can be found here and here.

There will be 3 categories for this contest:

  • Category 1 - Article features a cliché anomaly.
  • Category 2 - Article features a cliché story element.
  • Category 3 - Article features both a cliché anomaly and story element.
