SCP: Simply Creative People

This week we are finally getting into the canons as we have been promising, and what better to start with than Third Law and who better to guide us through it than GreenWolf, one of the founding writers of the canon.  So, listen in as we talk about the grounded supernatural world of geopolitics, the strengths of Star Trek DS9, and the ideological split between the hosts when it comes to reboots. ...

Welcome back to us! Okay, we are back and schedule and doing more episodes, so thank you for the patience. Today Harry and Grigori have guests PlaceholderMcD, It’s a Bad Idea (ISABI) and Pedagon on the show to discuss their series for the Canon Renaissance Contest from 2020: AIAD Limited Memory Please check out Grigori’s completed series of SCPs and tales: ⁠⁠⁠ https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/hecatonc...

Today, we're welcoming Plaguepjp back, because we're not done talking about the wonders of the 8000 contest. So many incredible articles were dropped for this contest, and we can't move on without discussing more of them. In this episode we each picked an article from the top 20 of the contest, and we discuss our own as well, so it's a deep dive into our head spaces in writing thes...

In today’s episode we discuss those articles submitted to the recently completed 8000 contest on the wiki that didn’t get enough attention.  We also welcome back plaguepjp (winner of the 8000 contest!) to the show to help us.  And we talk a bit about writing for a theme and dealing with the stress of participating in a contest where you could get a lot (or not enough) attention on what you’ve made...

It's the end of 2023 and we wanted to get one more episode out before the new year, so we dug deep into the bucket of questions we got before (and gathered some more) to bring you three more hours of Grigori and Harry waxing poetic about deep and not so deep questions.

This episode we have plaguepjp back on our show to discuss more SCP-001 proposals, but this time we chose only three of the really meaty ones and go on a deep dive into each.  Tune in for our hot takes but stick around for Harry’s end of episode joke. ---------------------------------------------------------- Please check out Grigori’s completed series of SCPs and tales: ⁠https://scp-wiki.wikidot....

This episode we answer listener questions and take the assignment so seriously, we don’t make it through every one so guess we’ll have to do this again in a few months.  So, tune in for Grigori and Harry answering questions seriously but also with a dash of irreverence because, that’s our vibe.   Grigori’s Author Page:  https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/grigori-karpin-s-author-page Harry’s Author Page:...

(she also has an excellent library of articles on the wiki!) The Group of Interest we’re discus...

HELLO!  This week, Harry and Grigori invite the crew from So You Think You Can Fanon podcast to discuss one of the most elusive GOIs: Church of the Second Hytoth.  This group of ancient aliens and modern proselytizing religion of blood sacrifices, Eldritch Horrors that protect the universe, and all sorta weird reality warping and hard science wackery   Grigori’s Author Page: https://scp-wiki.wikid...

This week Grigori and Harry welcome Captain Kirby (fairly legendary author on the SCP Wiki and co-creator of the End of Death canon) to discuss a very interesting subject: Stories that recontextualize or reinvent or reinterpret an older more established idea/character on the wiki.  The wiki has been around about 15 years now, and it’s a fairly common thing when a newer author looks back at somethi...

Episode 31 – Wilson’s Wildlife Simplified   Today we are joined by superstar authors who have contributed a lot to the creation and development of Wilson’s Wildlife Solutions (the most wholesome GOI on the SCP Wiki): DarkStuff and Uncle Nicolini!  We chat about the origins and how it came about, the better points of the GOI, some excellent articles and how important it is to deal with the rimples...

This week we welcome our favorite SCP author, Daveyoufool, creator of Three Moons Initiative and author of Neverstone a LitRPG novel series, to talk about his other crazy GOI: TotleighSoft. Imagine an eldritch horror arriving in the heartland of America, now imagine this horror doesn't want to eat people or ruin the world, it just wants to live the American dream. Also, it has no idea how to b...

Finally we’re doing something long requested, an episode about 001 proposals!  As anyone knows, the wiki’s premier articles are these epic and unique articles often representing the culmination of an author’s work.  So seeing as Harry has written one before, we got another guest who had as well, welcoming back Plaguepjp to the show (it was his idea to do this episode actually).  We talk about some...

Hello and welcome back to us! Sorry for the long delay, but we’re back with an episode all about Anderson Robotics with the best person to talk about it: Jacob Conwell. He takes us through the creation of the GOI and also how it evolved over the years, as this is the 10thyear of Vincent Anderson’s creations making the wiki! We also talk about sustaining creativity with a longer project and how you...

Part two of our Halloween specials, bringing you Halloween spooks with SCP at the forefront!  Dysadron, author of many an excellent horror SCP, joins Harry and Grigori as we wax poetic about the values of horror in fiction and what it means to us/why we are drawn to writing/reading it. Then we get into a nice deep dive of some excellent horror picks from the best and underrated articles on the wik...

Today Harry and Grigori bring JackalRelated back on (you'll remember him from the Arcadia episode) to do a spooky season appropriate episode where we talk about those horror games that have influenced us and just a bunch that we're obsessed with.  Hope you enjoy the spooks!

Today we are lucky to have one of the core contributors to our subject – Gamers Against Weed – as we’re joined by Kinchtheknifeblade to talk about the chaotic, but well-intentioned, GOI everyone loves (or should love!) Only 1/3 of us were sober by the end, so as you can imagine this is good chaotic fun all the way through. Harry’s Author Page: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/this-page-intentionally-l...

Today Harry and Grigori are joined by ShaunSaxum and SCP[Un]Redacted, two youtube creators, to discuss the weird artistic world of Are We Cool Yet? the anartist GOI of the SCP universe SCP[Un]Redacted’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMaRgBET7pcp4gQVXPH00lg Shaun’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE5dP_5pByGSE1aVhx6d53A Foundation Files: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-BqS0...

Today we are joined again by plaguepjp (Author of SCP-7001: Site 19) to discuss some of our favorite, less focused on articles from the recent 7000 contest. We each picked three to talk about and then read your emails to see what you thought. Also, for Creative Corner, we discussed scope vs scale in a story (in the context of a contest, but it could work as general advice too) SCP-7001: Site-19 by...

Today, despite the serious doubts Grigori has about this subject, Harry has blackmailed him into doing a " hidden gems with the Chaos Insurgency tag " episode.  Spoilers, neither of them much likes this GOI - it's shallow and fairly boring, but the challenge was to find a show's worth of articles to talk about and showcase... and by god we did it!
