They also have a draft thread without greenlights here: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-18328820/scp-9xxx-the-expansive-lake
My idea:
SCP-9XXX is a body of water located in the Foundation's Area-9XXX. Its anomalous properties are many and are linked to one main anomaly: the ability to expand by converting deceased human tissue into its watery part.
The anomalous properties of SCP-9XXX are:
• The presence of a molecule unknown to modern science and which is found only inside it and which serves precisely to allow it to expand: Expansin A
• The ability to lower and raise its seabed and the volume of its water body.
• The ability to autonomously create wave motion phenomena within itself.
All this for the sole purpose of expansion.
Expansin A acts in phases: the first time there is direct contact with it it deceives the subject's immune defenses while the second time it causes the instant necrosis of all the cells of the body.
The object is of class euclid
The Foundation became aware of SCP-9XXX in [REDACTED] on [REDACTED] following the disappearance of 20 people. SCP-9XXX was taken into custody because all 20 people before disappearing declared who were going to the city lake.
Not much is known about Espansin A: its origins are unknown but scientists hypothesize that it was generated by the lake itself to expand infinitely and never dry up.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the basic post before. Here is the updated and complete elevator pitch with the full details of the anomaly and narrative structure.
**Page Type:** SCP Article
**Elevator Pitch:**
SCP-9XXX is a semi-sentient body of water located in Foundation Area-9XXX. Its main anomaly is the ability to expand its mass by liquefying human tissue and converting it into its own water volume. The lake relies on an unknown biochemical molecule called "Expansin A," which operates in a two-phase mechanism: the first contact silently bypasses the immune system, while a second contact triggers instant cellular necrosis, completely dissolving the subject into the lake. To achieve this, the lake can autonomously alter its seabed, volume, and generate anomalous wave storms.
**Central Narrative:**
The anomaly was discovered after 20 locals mysteriously disappeared, all stating they were heading to "the city lake." The article details strict containment procedures, including concrete domes and optical visors, alongside test logs featuring D-Class personnel. The narrative culminates in an Incident Report where the lake breaches its primary hatch via a massive wave, revealing its most horrifying secret: the lake records and phonetically reproduces the final vocalizations of everyone it has assimilated.
**Hook/Attention-Grabber:**
The transition from a standard biological hazard into a predatory entity that tricks its victims and literally "speaks" with their voices adds a powerful psychological horror layer to the article.

**Approval Request** (Yes)
Hi ShadowDan8263, thank you very much for the feedback! I have read the "How to use this forum" thread as suggested.
To keep everything clear and properly structured, here is the updated and complete elevator pitch of my idea, including all anomalous mechanics (such as the Expansin A behavior and the final audio detail):

When addressed about AI usage, the user lied about the extent: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-18328933/request-for-approval:scp-9xxx-the-expansive-lake#post-9042839
Hi Zyn, thank you for the note. First of all, I apologize for the multiple consecutive posts and for any confusion—I'm still getting used to the forum layout.
To answer your question honestly: yes, I used an AI tool to help me translate my ideas from Italian and polish the English phrasing for the pitch, because English is not my native language. However, the core concept, the narrative structure, the anomaly mechanics (Expansin A), and the plot details are entirely my own original work.
Thank you for your guidance, I will keep this in mind for the future!
Compare with the user's first iteration of the concept post:
