The
SCP site has, more than anything else I've ever read, made me aware of
precisely how much weight that your opinion of the author holds when
judging someone's work. I liked the SCP site. I really did. I wasted
hours reading them. Some were dull, some were interesting, and some
actually managed to creep me out. Then, I get the bright idea to try my
hand at it. Surely, with hundreds of SCP entries, and with so many bad
entries that frankly weren't good reads, I figured that writing one up
couldn't possibly be that difficult, right? How foolish I was.
It
turns out that first you have to join the site. An experience more
convoluted and bizarrely unintuitive that words along cannot describe. A
fair example of this painstaking process can be read here: http://bbot.org/blog/archives/2010/01/12/creating_an_account_on_the_scp_wiki_is_like_pissing_glass/ And
that isn't even the entirety of it. Part of the application process is
going into their IRC chat, pming an admin, getting a "password" which is
just whatever the admins think of at the moment, and then putting that
"password" and who gave it to you into the appropriate box in the
application. This password is then verified upon reviewer of your
application. |
