I’m Done with SCP/The SCP-Community (For now anyway) (My friend told me to say fuck you all and tell you how stupid you all are then dip out, but I’m not like that. Plus there really is no need to.)
Yup, that’s right good Ol’Dr. Sinder is done with SCP for now I have a few reasons why
I don’t have the time anymore
Mental Health/Passion
Quirks with the site and some users (not that harsh/ not trying to be mean ill explain)
Dialogue
(in collapsible) Good Bye
1) I don’t have the time anymore: As some of you are aware I want to be a film director, now that isn’t some pipe dream that I’m sitting around wishing would happen nor am I’m uprooting my life moving to Cali or NY on a whim. I’m enrolled in a film school, worked as a PA on a short film, and will sign up for WB directors workshop. With that being said I will also be writing short films for school, working in my free time to write a movie for DC, and perfecting that, and working on my own original screenplay/story. With all that going on I don’t have time to work on some internet action/horror or horror stories anymore. (At least for the next year because of school.)
2) Mental Health/Passion: When I started out with SCP last year it was something new to me that told stories and made me shiver in fear. I LOVED IT! But over time the more my entities got taken down the more drive I had to prove to you’ll I could do it, it was like a herculean task that I wanted to take on. All that changed on August 3, 2021,(even before that but this was the day that stands out to me) I had the perfect story, but it still wasn’t good enough. And after the other day, I have all but no passion for SCP anymore. Switching gears rn I want to talk about Mental Health. On this site, I always tried to keep it professional answering with full sentences and asking opinions. But it’s all starting to get to me, I had dreams about where I was shaking as you’ll laughed and belittled my work but I kept pushing on. ( Just because things are hard I won’t quit. That’s the type of person I am, trying to be, and want to be. But after repeated nights of that I need a rest)
3) THIS ISNT MEANT TO BE MEAN OR MALICIOUS IN ANY WAY PLZ UNDERSTAND THAT. This site has some strange rules like I understand the clinical tone that helps the reader get immersed in the story/world and I can understand the X-men thing (TO A POINT.) (even though it should be called the Superhero Delima) like you all seem honestly pissed off by the mention of SCP-105 SCP-076-2 and SCP-073. It’s almost like you all see them as bad or something when that’s not nor should be the case. They are part of the foundation literally and metaphorically. Also there as some SCP’s that DO have X-men syndrome/tone but for some reason is still liked????? Like SCP-4793, SCP- SCP-5151, SCP-4051 (Come on this one’s name is a spiderman reference), and SCP-2241. (I LOVE ALL THESE SCP’S) my thing is what on God’s green earth makes them all different from The high level electric? He fits in with these. ( and if you all say he’s a soldier that makes him different remember 076-2 is a warrior, and 105 is an MTF soldier, also SCP-5151 was a warrior too. I just don’t understand) I talked about this a bit the other day but the green light processes is mega difficult to use like I said the I get theses reviewers are doing it for fun and because they love SCP ik they arent receiving any money or compensation for there time so I say thank you for putting the effort, Guys/Gals! I also know that the uptick in viewership of SCP both on the site and not has skyrocketed. That means more people on the site, more people on the site means more first-time creators (and old returning creators), more first-time creators (and old returning creators) means the reviewers are swamped. I understand that but I’ve been trying to get noticed by them to ask for help on and off for a whole year so excuses me for not doing it (I’ve been used to not asking for help from the time I was a kid its a part of my do or die attitude. The Neffex song myself should be my theme song.) Just like Gorge Lucas said about star wars (it’s like a poem it rhymes) my SCP stories all rhymed together with all three stories I wrote having a theme. The High-Level Electric theme doesn’t always trust your superiors. Meet The Family’s theme Life Esperance doesn’t always equal right. And my trident story is sometimes as a high-ranking official you need to listen to people under you. But over the edits and especially with my most recent post I was being talked to like I had no idea how to run a story when I DO! :( the only reason why I made the story bad last (I thought it was ok) was to try to have it fit a similar style to 5151. And also the length issue the reason why it seemed like I saved shit for another story is because I apparently had a cap on the length of story I should tell so by following YOUR orders I made an incomplete story. Also, I had a very nice user tell me that I should keep it simple, however, one user told me that I need to do something with it that makes it interesting and to add some complexities to it….WHICH IS IT I CAN’T DO BOTH FOR THE SAME STORY. AGAIN PLZ DON’T THINK I HATE THESE PEOPLE TBH THEY MOST LIKELY HATE ME (THEY TALK TO ME LIKE I’M BENEATH THEM) THIS ISNT A CALL OUT I’M JUST SAYING THIS I SEE SHOULD CHANGE. User’s Fabledtiefling, Phantom 8, and Mod Zyn (Zyn don’t talk to me like he hates me I just know I make this user mad Sorry.) (also I’m trying not to use gendered langue cuz I don’t know their genders I just trying to respect them.) Fabledtiefling said that this SCP doesn’t sound like a soldier… Ok, then I guess my father doesn’t know what a US soldier sounds like… HE WAS IN THE AIRFORCE, HE RETIRED WITH THE RANK OF MASTER SARGENT, HE IS A POLICE CAPTIN ( He took the interview to become commander 3-4 weeks ago) I THINK HE KNOWS WHAT A SOLDIER SOUNDS LIKE (I’m not yelling here I put it in caps to emphasize).
At one point I had him crying in his cell and when he was in therapy Phantom 8 said he shouldn’t be crying because, A.) He was in the military and would have had that knocked out of him but let me ask you this. If you were being held against your will and had your family friends and loved ones think you were dead would u not cry? Ik I would, ik my dad would. That’s called being human (ik the foundation doesn’t see him as human but that doesn’t change the fact that he is. He should and would react like a person in that way.) The last thing I wanted to say is because Fabledtiefling and Phantom 8 are perfect at storytelling I want them to take over the canon I wanted to start. Even if I come back I won’t have time to tell the huge epic I have in mind so I want the 2 of you to take over. (I would need help anyway cuz I can’t do it alone, unfortunately.) So plz take it over I’ll send ya’ll what I was working on and everything. And to users Doctor Zurvan and Padgon you both told me the last thing anyone on this site wants is for someone to stop writing, well I’m going to keep writing. just not SCP (for the time being at least.) and I’m the type of person who doesn’t break a promise so I’ll promise this I won’t stop not until I’m making movies.
(I’m making a short rn for class and it’s an SCP film you can look at it here once it’s done. [link removed for privacy])
4) The last thing I want to say is about the Dialogue I was told it’s a slog and over the top. Well, you have to think it’s coming from a little girl, kids are over the top she is telling her side of events (She is an unreliable narrator. If you are confused I wrote a story about a serial killer family and the daughter’s diary talked about her and her family’s killing.) Dialogue is so abstract and impossible to do so I’m stopping for right now. ( And if you say I’m not trying well I looked at interviews with Zack Snyder, James Gunn, J.K. Rowling, and David Mamet where they talked about this. I looked at Abbie Emmons, The closer look Tyler Mowery again they talked about this but it’s still not good enough I spent one whole day looking at all thoughts videos. I looked at them from 7 Am - 6 Pm and had nothing to show for it).
So for the last time in a while, I’ll see you all later
PS I don’t hate any on this site nor do I hate SCP I think some things need to change…. But what do ik im just some damned little outsider.
