Non-Disc Record - LHill

TSATPWTCOTTTADC 23 Mar 2020 10:31

User LHill (wiki member for 203 days) posted an article in the SCP-5046 slot that appears to borrow its concept from an article by a different author that was in the same SCP slot until it was deleted earlier that same day. Both articles are very short, but have a number of notable similarities - both SCPs are about a wendigo that inhabits a house and in both the wendigo lures victims into the house before killing them. LHill does not credit anyone for the concept in a post or info module.

Due to the close timing, similarities, and both articles having the same SCP number I reached out to the author of the older article to find out if they had given anyone permission to rewrite their SCP.
ETA: User replied. They did not give anyone permission to rewrite their article.

[[module Rate]]

Item:SCP-5046

Object class:EUCLUD

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-5046 is to be monitored at all times by security personnel. Any noises heard from SCP-5046
are immediately reported.

Description:SCP-5046 is a stone mansion located in [DATA EXPUNGED] Ireland. SCP-5046 contains a creature resembling that of SCP-323, referred to as SCP-5046-1.

SCP-5046-1 will only appear if any indivual sleeps in any of the bedrooms in SCP-5046. Upon sleeping in SCP-5046, the individual will be awoken by a loud roar in the lower levels of SCP-5046.
The victim will feel compelled to discover what made the noise, only to be killed and be eaten by SCP-5046-1.
It has been recently discovered that SCP-5046-1 is capable of speech, and if spoken too before killing it's victim, will halt the assault and converse with the individual.

[What you are about to read is a conversation with SCP-5046-1 and a D-class personel]

D-class:H-hello there…..

5046-1:……… Greetings…..

D:I-I am here t-to interview you……

5046-1:Oh really!? What questions would you like to ask?

D:T-the first question is…"What are your motives?"

5046:To feed!!!
[SCP-5046-1 proceeds to kill the D-class personnel]

End of report.

+ LHill's 5046

Item #:SCP-5046

Object Class:Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-5046-1 has been surrounded by a 4ft chain link perimeter fence,and the two neighbouring houses have been bought out by the foundation and are to be the residences of 6 foundation agents with CRVs¹ of 100+ at all times.Any unauthorised personnel who enter SCP-5046-1 are to be considered lost and any civilians who are able to enter are to be considered missing and a standard cover story is to be released,any witnesses are to be administered class C amnestics.Stationed agents are to be changed every 2 months.

Description:SCP-5046 consist of two components,SCP-5046-1 is a 19th century 3 story house,with an unconfirmed construction date,SCP-5046-1 exerts a mild cognitohazardous effect that compels humans in a 10m radius of SCP-5046 to enter,although,most individuals will not break social norms to enter SCP-5046-1.SCP-5046-2 is a humanoid entity measuring approximately 6.9ft tall and showing signs of heavy malnutrition,SCP-5046-2's head superficially resembles the skull of a male Odocoileus virginianus²,SCP-5046 has displayed no behaviour suggesting higher thought and infrared imaging has shown that when no individual is present in SCP-5046-1 it will lay dormant in the second floor bedroom.When an individual (hereby referred to as the subject) enters SCP-5046-1 SCP-5046-2 will become active, quietly stalking the subject through the interior of SCP-5046-1 until the subject enters the dining room,at which point SCP-5046-2 will pounce onto the subject and rip the subjects throat open with its front teeth,before consuming the subject and returning to the bedroom. No subject has escaped SCP-5046-1 and it is believed that the cognitohazardous effect prevents the subject from exiting SCP-5046-1.

To my eye, this looks more like inspiration than plagiarism — both articles involve a man-eating monster in a mansion whose behavior involves a bedroom, but honestly that kind of concept is so vague that it's been attempted by countless newbies in the past. I don't think any action needs to be taken besides logging it.
