But which team came out on top? Well that honour goes to team Provisional Government of Occupied Third Law, Revolutionary Firing Squad, consisting ofTyGentlyᶜᵖᵗ,Intercedent,Anorrack.

A massive thanks to all of you who participated and made the contest flourish as it did, and to the site's contest organizers for allowing these events to happen.

Recently,Eventyr has officially become a canon! A remixed version of our classical SCP stories and characters within a fairytale setting, while also tackling themes such as generational curses, learning from our guardians, and seeking family.

AstersQuill andsailorenoch has given us the time to interview them to share their thoughts:

For as long as humans have learned and taught, so too have they created words and ideas and meanings to understand the world around them. These meanings- powerful tokens of belief that spread and shape that which receives them, they are what we have decided our universe is and encompasses.

Last month saw the Semiotics canon hub be posted onto the wiki byPoufyPoufson. The canon encapsulates the surrealist-absurdist horror articles revolving around site-196s downfall. The cannon currently consists of 13 works with more to come on the way. You might be familiar with works in the canon such asSCP-7793 orSCP-8995.

Articles in the canon typically deal with deeply personal human narratives, depicting issues of hubris, loss, and abandonment, all depicted through hyper-clinical documentation. If you're interested in contributing your own ideas and stories to the canon then anyone can! It is recommended you reach out toPoufyPoufson through either wiki PMs or Discord for any questions you may have about the canon.

We hope to see many more great works added to the canon!

Greetings, class of April 1st! It's finally the time you have all been preparing and studying for: exam season! These exams will assess the knowledge you have learned throughout the year. A 90% on each exam is required for course credit. The schedule of exams is as follows:

There are no seminars planned for this month. Check back in next month!

Ratings of course do not mean everything, but they are representative of what people happened to like seeing at the time. With this in mind, the following are the top-rated works last month, so if by some chance you haven't encountered them yet, be sure to check them out!

Every month, an article is selected from each of the three common article types: SCP, Tale, and Group of Interest Format. These three articles are displayed on the front page for the month to bring further recognition to them.

Works are featured on the site’s front page as part of the Reviewers’ Spotlight, which acknowledges the time and effort spent by forum reviewers helping other authors develop and edit and their works for the mainsite. Each month, community members are encouraged to nominate forum reviewers who have been both particularly helpful and active. Members of the Forum Criticism Team will then discuss the nominations, and select four prominent reviewers to choose the month’s Reviewers’ Spotlight front-page features.

There is a multitude of wonderful works that are posted to the Wiki every month whether they be SCP articles, Tales, GoI Formats, Art pages, Author Pages, Essays, and more! Below, we have all of the creations for this month listed out by week and type (except for art pages, we did that earlier!) We have added little emojis next to articles that qualify to add some additional content. Below we have listed out the emojis we use and what they mean. Be sure to give them a look!
