Noting that new site member
Arthur Maxim (account age 32 days, site membership 31 days) recently posted the following concept thread, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation following a revision: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-18145951/seeking-greenlights:yes-or-no
Recent revision titled "[SEEKING GREENLIGHTS] SCP-9806 "A hateful reflection"" retained, original title was "Seeking Greenlights: yes or no"
Seeking Greenlights:Yes
Page Type:SCP Article
Genre:Horror, Drama/Emotional
Page Layout: Standard SCP format — containment procedures, description, followed by three test logs (A1–A3), closing with an addendum of four contradicting personnel interviews (format screw: the same expedition described four irreconcilable ways, with no dishonesty flagged in any account). Ends on an interview-log breakdown scene rather than a standard closing note, serving as the reclassification trigger.
Elevator Pitch: SCP-9806 is a standing mirror that, after 30 seconds of staring into the mirror and subject reflection, spawns a hostile creature built from the viewer's deepest hatred of themselves, others, or the world. designated SCP-9806-1. SCP-9806-1 then comes through SCP-9806 and begins attacking the subject in varying ways.
Within SCP-9806, is an unstable pocket dimension, designated SCP-9806-2 that only holds its shape while a designated "tether" (D-class personnel) keeps its landscape from shifting upon exit. Four researchers who enter the same expedition come back with four completely different, contradicting accounts of what they saw, and the final interview ends when one of them turns hostile, turning into a mass of vines and twisted flesh, now all personnel exiting SCP-9806-2 must be held within a quarantined cell for roughly two days.
Central Narrative: The article is about a seemingly plain mirror, which turns the personal hates of anyone looking into it into abominations, the mirror houses its own dimension that doesn't abide by normal reality space and time. Within the dimension, all audio and video recording equipment fails to produce logical, reasonable recordings. Requiring the use of hand written sketches and reports. see SCP-9806-A2
Hook/Attention-Grabber: The four-witness contradiction addendum functions like a Rashomon device. each contradicting detail (cabin condition, presence of bodies, direction creatures fled) reflects something specific and personal about that witness rather than being random noise — inviting readers to reverse-engineer character from the discrepancies. The ending subverts the usual "D-class dies, researchers walk away clean" SCP pattern by having the credentialed staff member be the one who brought the anomaly out with him.
Additional Notes: Looking for feedback on whether the contradicting-testimony format lands clearly enough without over-explaining itself, and whether the tether mechanic (dimension only reshuffles on new entry, unless someone stays behind to anchor it) is intuitive from the containment procedures alone or needs a clearer explicit statement.

my first SCP
Don't know whether or not too give it the numbers 9806 since I havent posted this officially. Im new
SCP-XXXX is an anomolous standing mirror, that went looked into said mirror for more than 30 seconds, the subject's reflection will transform into the subject's strongest hatreds (animals, people and things.) The reflection (SCP-xxxx-1) will then come through SCP-xxxx and begin attacking, killing,and eating the subject that looked through SCP-xxxx
SCP-xxxx is also capable of its own dimension, upon the created SCP-xxxx-1 has been neutralized, SCP-xxxx becomes passable through unknown means. Entering a blue tinted jungle-like landscape.

If you guys would like to offer some advice for my first SCP and maybe help me get it greenlit, that'd be awesome! Now I dont wanna be a bother, so see ya!
And to answer your question: yes, I do eat late night snacks, cause I get home pretty late and it helps me sleep.

Hello Zyn,
I recently have updated my scp greenlight request in "Writing help/help: Ideas critique" forum page, now using the greenlight request template. Whenever you're available, could you review my updated request.
Thank you,
Arthur Maxim
