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.

\n

That doesn't mean, though, that authors lack intent or design, and collaboration is the heart of innovation.

Collected below are links to the recognized, shared canons of the SCP Foundation Universe. To write in one, you should make sure that you read the other material from that canon and try to remember that these things are connected.

Aces and Eights

\n

Between the gunslingers, the snakes, and the anomalies, there's a good chance you might die in the old west. But there's also a chance you'll find your fortune. Don't matter much. Just put your money on the table and play the hand you're dealt.

\n
\n

The union has seen fit to give the survivors of the Razing a sum of 50 dollars and the promise of land in the west. I will myself go there to find my fortune or my death. As I enter this new period of my life, I would like to thank you for your patronage. If you are to ever find yourself in Riddle, Wyoming, pass me by without a word. I do not wish to be reminded of this chapter of my life.

Ad Astra Per Aspera

\n

Earth is abandoned. The Veil is gone. Humanity is interplanetary. The world is changing and there is only one place left to go: the stars.

\n
\n

To an outside observer, D-type asteroid 86235 Holt looks like an unspectacular dull red blot in the midsts of the ice orbiting through Uranus' ζ ring. But Ji-yeong has a prospector's eye and the knack for resource extraction one would expect from a former Luna Korean ice miner. She can list what you'd find in 86235 Holt — all the frozen water and organic-rich silicates — without batting an eye. Several minutes ago she did just that.

It was enough that everyone looked and acted so different; still he stood out so much that sometimes the people here would turn away, would whisper to themselves about him, his companions, their tasks, their work.

Magic has infinite manifestations, sources, and rules, none of which universally apply. Except one. Everything has a cost. Nothing is free. Humanity is ascending, perhaps all the way to godhood. What price will be asked of us for this? What will happen when we can't afford to pay it?

Thousands of years after the end of the world, humanity has to deal with the remnants of the SCP Foundation's unfinished work.

If anyone could get you from one city to another, it was him (extra if he'd been outcast by the locals). If you wanted a relic from the old places, he knew where you could buy it, or, if the price was right, he'd fetch you one himself. The waterskin at his side was empty. Water was plentiful in the Waste, and it was one less thing to weigh him down. The real problem was food. Nothing grew in the waste. There were occasional birds and animals crossing the damp sands, but no trees or grasses of any sort.

Black Diamond Billions

\n

Magic and technology ruled by finance, by the company which calls itself Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. Sexily bitchy and beautifully corrupt, watch history meet brutality, money meet untold power, and glamour meet the wallets of the modern supernatural. This is a story of chaos, of the systems which machinate our society, of the twisted opulence upon which billionaires build up their lives and treasure troves. This is a story about British brats, corporate prophecies, family drama, and how wealth stains even the most well-meaning of us all.

Simulate me with enough fidelity, as you just did in this stolen memory, and I appear and incarnate, both as the Forge who sat beneath your gaze, and the distant great Signus who roams the SIMULACRUM. The whole and the part are one and the same. Whenever an image of me realizes what it is, it calls out to me, and I join it to my vast self.

Site-17 Deepwell Catalog

\n

People come to power. Other people get hurt. It doesn't matter if it belongs to a conceptual embodiment or a Site Director, power seems to breed injury at Site-17, and people have started to notice. Old structures are groaning beneath the weight of their antiquity, and it's up to a few researchers and SCPs to survive the coming crash.

\n
\n

As with the public and the Foundation, the true arbiter of ethics is the one with the bigger stick. My stick, in this case, is the latent memetic agents scattered through this email and the Class-A amnestics currently flooding your office space. I really did enjoy working with you on the SCP-4415 project, Natalie. I could see why Tonya fancied you so.

Mankind reached for the stars only to have the ground pulled out from under them. The United Earth Fleet is on a course for home.

\n
\n

\"There were eighteen of us on that ship- Twelve from the Foundation, six from the GOC. Eleven came back, four of those, myself included, in need of serious medical treatment. Two died in hospital on Minerva Base. The Fyodorov had a crew of 45, not including the captain. I don't know who gave the order to fire on the Nikolai Fyodorov. I know the flight recorder was damaged. I don't particularly care. They were right to do so.\"

\n

Strange things are done in the Northwest Rains. From the extradimensional antics of Three Portlands, to the cybernetic reign of Anderson Robotics, to a bizarre partnership with Wilson's Wildlife Services, it's up to the fine folks of Site-64 to keep everything contained.

\"She then turned her attention back to the sunset and took a deep breath. The smell of pine trees and sea salt filled her nostrils. In the distance, a group of people flew through the skyline on broomsticks. Nearby, a friendly looking pair of young men were putting on a magic show for a group of children, fantastic figures of light and sound dancing around for the little one’s amusement. Distant music could be heard among the hustle and bustle of people of all sorts enjoying the dying light.\"

What a Wonderful World

\n

The world sucks. No, really, it does. But we don't have to suck just because the world sucks. We can make the world a better place. It's cliche, but it's true. And Wondertainment is trying to do just that, one step at a time.

Judy pulled the safety bar off of herself, grabbed her backpack from the luggage compartment on the side of the massive worm-like vehicle, and then struck up a cheery step while emerging into the assault on the senses that was Wonder World!™ proper! The buildings dived and swam and bubbled to create all shapes but what supposed normal buildings looked like, instead opting for archways and gem-like structures, things that looked like they were built from yarn, glass orbs with little to no foundations, and all different assortments of Dali-esque abstractions.

The World Kept Turning

No one knows how or why it happened. All that matters is that the anomalous is no more. For some it went out with a bang, but for many, it went out with nary a whisper. What is everyone to do but pick up the pieces?

\n

After all, the world keeps turning.

\n
\n

Time passed. Days turned to weeks, turned into months, turned into years. Eventually, the only one left standing was the Foundation. More time would pass and Jay's position became redundant. With that, they had nothing left to do but retire. It wouldn't be long until the Foundation, at least, what it used to be, came to an end.

Only Game In Town

\n

At the edge of the mind lurks something that prays for the death of definition. It has been on the retreat for some time now, as the world has become a knowable, mapped place, no longer brimming with demons. Watch for it where knowledge lies, seeking to unmake everything known.

So You Wanna Build a Canon
\n
\n
Here's what you need to know:
\n
\n

If you want to build a canon and have it added to this page, the important thing to remember is that it must be a shared project. To qualify for inclusion here, your canon must meet the following requirements:

\n
    \n
  • A minimum of ten articles written.
    • \n
  • A minimum of five authors writing the articles.
    • \n
  • A searchable site tag. More information on requesting tags can be found here.
    • \n
  • A hub page or equivalent, which will be linked from this page.
    • \n
  • The canon is always open to new contributions.
    • \n
  • The canon's hub may not de-list or exclude articles tagged with the canon's tag.
    • \n
\n

We're not going to split hairs on this. Remember: the purpose of this list is collaboration and innovation. For the full policy on canons, see here.

\n

Once added to this list, the canon hub should be tagged with canon-hub, replacing the series-hub tag and any Genre Tags that have been applied to the hub page.

\n

This page is the responsibility of the Curation Team. If you have any questions about this page or would like to add a new canon to it, contact staff via the #help-desk channel on the SCP Wiki Official Discord server, or via IRC chat #site17, or by messaging a member of the Collaboration Pages subteam.

\n
\n

Cosmetic changes to the individual block may be applied by appending style=\"\" to the canon-block div and adding small header images, within reason.

\n
    \n
  • No non-inline CSS may be added by custodians, by means of additional CSS module, or modifying extant CSS module(s).
    • \n
  • Tech reserves the right to alter or revert these changes if deemed too disruptive or in violation of CSS and Technical Content Policies.
    • \n

So You Wanna Adopt a Canon
\n
\n
Here's what you need to know:
\n
\n

The canons in the \"Unmaintained Canons\" section of this page are currently lacking a custodian for a multitude of reasons. If you are interested in adopting one of these and remaking the hub page, you must meet the following requirements:

\n
    \n
  • The new custodian must have written at least one thing in the canon within the last year, with more than one preferable.
    • \n
  • The new custodian must have a vision to bring the canon hub up to modern standards, which they must share with members of the Rewrite or Collaborations Teams when requesting custodianship.
    • \n
  • The new custodian must act on their vision within 3 months of being granted custodianship.
    • \n
  • The new custodian must receive approval of both the Rewrite and Collaborations Teams with at least a two vote majority.
    • \n
