My critique:
SCP-XXXX-1 before observation by the SCP foundation
Unless its very important, I its better to leave out the part where the Foundation didn't observe him. I don't think you need to mention that, as the all reader needs to know is who that person is.
The family of SCP-XXXX-1 has restricted knowledge of the SCP foundation and SCP-XXXX-1's current state of mind.
I don't think his family would need to know he has been anomalously affected? Why does the Foundation need to let them know, anyway? After reading the description, I honestly don't think the Foundation needs to tell some random family about an anomaly; at the very least, interview them about it, and then memory wipe them.
The document containing SCP-XXXX is not available to any foundation personnel as the long-term psychological effects of SCP-XXXX are not known.
The Foundation knows what its affects are, yet they won't tell staff what it is because their not certain what the prolonged effects are? Can't they just list the effects, and add in more as time goes on?
Updated Containment Procedures: If SCP-XXXX-1's mental state deteriorates any further, he is to be moved to a humanoid containment cell in Site 19. SCP-XXXX-1's family is to be amnesticized and informed that SCP-XXXX-1 went on a world comedy tour.
This doesn't feel like updated containment procedures, it feels more like "Just in-case something happens". If they wanted to put him in a containment cell, why didn't they do that sooner? Also, considering the Foundation just canceled Gaffigan, then tell them he went on a world wide tour, I don't think they'll buy it. Especially if he's famous enough to earn a world wide tour. His fans, and family would know that's bullshit before a week passes.
humanoid containment cell in Site 19.
at Site-19.
My biggest problem with the containment procedures is that the Foundation aren't trying to help gaffigan with his mental issue. They've helped other SCPs with their mental issues, why not this guy? In-fact, its smarter to give him help than just monitor him, and that's it.
Onto the description:
SCP-XXXX-1 is a comedic performer, Jim Gaffigan, currently residing in a New York apartment. SCP-XXXX-1 fell under the effects of SCP-XXXX while viewing it.
Remove this bit. You already told us its Jim, and he was affected whilst viewing it.
The re-lived traumatic incident is yet unknown as SCP-XXXX-1 is currently unable to properly communicate with foundation staff.
That's disappointing because since this article is about Jim's trauma, I think it would be better to make so the reader knows what it is? Cuz right now, all I have is a blank image. If the Foundation can't get him to tell them what happened, maybe ask his family or friends? The Foundation is better than this.
The foundation intercepted this call and dispatched MTF-Alpha-5 ("Honour guard").
SCP-XXXX was inside the document containing SCP-XXXX-1's new script.
Can you at least tell me how it even got there?
What did the MTF do?
The interview log bored me as well. The Foundation asked her one question, and concluded their done? Didn't even bother asking where the image come from, if he had enemies, what other anomalous stuff have been happening, or how he was before the thing popped up?
Overall, the article feels disappointing. I feel it'd be much stronger if you went into the detail regarding what caused his traumatic experience, fixed the containment procedures, and add a narrative to it. At the very least, a light narrative.
Good luck, Cole!
