I’m working on a project about the SCP canon or the lack there of and I’m wondering what the community thinks about the canon. Now I’m aware about the canon hub and the message on the top of the page
“The idea that there is no canon is a bit silly at times. It’s not that we don’t have any — It’s that we have a multitude which touch, cross, and dip into each other. It’s up to you, as the reader, to decide what you believe and what you embrace as the heart of the universe.
That doesn’t mean, though, that authors lack intent or design, and collaboration is the heart of innovation.”
There’s around 50ish canons officially listed on the site and they vary wildly and I love that about the Foundation it gives lotta different possibilities for writing. However I feel that for most articles at least there’s the very basic canon of there’s anomalies, the Foundation exist, and the other basic things like that but I’d like to know the community’s thoughts thanks for reading!
I figure the easiest base canon is that SCP 1 is never revealed and that most of the XK class scenarios are exceedingly unlikely worst case projections by the foundation which explains why none of them wiped out humanity in the stone age, or the entire universe before earth even formed.
