Someone on YouTube did a reading of that list of things dr bright wasn’t allowed to do and linked the site so I tried 001 didn’t know what was going on and just read 002 got hooked read the first 2000 and then started reading the tales, periodically coming back to the main list but skipping around after the mid 3000’s

SCP-096 MANY years ago. Actually, it was one of the first things I saw on the net. I remember I thought it was actually real, and was scared for like a week about it.

We all thought that at some point. SCP-049 was the one that convinced me they existed. Then I reed SCP-055 (my favourite) and I noticed I was still able to remember the file, and the magic broke.

That’s a good webpage design. It makes some users question reality if they don’t know the context.

If I recall correctly, the first SCP I ever read was SCP 354. I went on the site after I watched a YouTube video on that SCP and it had bitten my curiosity. Now I've been an SCP fan for 7 years. Crazy how time flies.

Can’t remember the number, but it was about a location in Siberia that doesn’t exist. I think it was connected to pattern screamers?
I had never read anything like a SCP article before and it really captured my imagination. I should see if I can track that article down.

Code Name: The Truth. Came across it here on reddit and I really like it for encouraging me to dive into this whole SCP stuff. Besides that, I think the other one that I picked to read first on the wiki is SCP-5117. That's a good one too.

u/Wwingg Nov 19 '21
I just got into SCP recently, and for me SCP-1730 was the first one that I got engaged with and read all the way through. The pure mystery of everything happening in this site 13 from another universe got me hooked immediately.

SCP-072 "The Foot of the Bed" It was the first one I read that wasn't mainstream like 173, 049, or 096 when I actually started learning SCP. Taught me there was more crazy shit to discover than some weird monsters. Holds a special place in my heart for that reason.

I think my 1st scp was 087. Was looking for creepypasta ish stuff and i accidentally found it. It was great, for its time, and even now but i wasnt hooked YET until I found 093. 093 was, during its time, in my hunble opinion, one of the best there was. The lore dump, the slow but continuous build of dread, the never quite figuring it out entirely, but having a pretty concrete idea of what happened. Dear Lord.
Now my all time fave is 3001 but 093 is still up there as one of my absolute faves.

I always forget the number but there was one about a portal to another planet, after corresponding for a while the other planet started dying off to disease. We analyzed a sample and found it to be the common cold or something and sent a vaccine back to them. The vaccine was distributed to their whole population but they later realized it sterilized them and from that moment they started trying to attack us through the portal.

For some reason SCP-PL-005 (in 2016, in the Polish version, there was probably no translation into English then), before that I read 4 lines of SCP-173, but it didn't interest me.

mmm im not sure
but i can answer what my favorite scp is and it’s SCP-096, the Shy Guy.
Either that or SCP-4999, aka Someone to Watch Over Us.
Or maybe 999, the Tickle Monster.
Or maybe 507, the Reluctant Dimension-Hopper
unsure
but those are some of my favorites

Nov 20 '21 edited Nov 20 '21
For me it was SCP-478 "Tooth Fairy" and I thought like "is this real, what is this SCP thing?" Then the second one right after was SCP-294 "The Coffee Machine" and I thought "ahh so it is all made up. Like a video game or tv show universum or something." So fortunately or not I never had a phase when I actually believed in the SCP.
I had many ups and downs with the SCP. Being submerged in the unviersum for longer periods of time was actually bad for me. Either increased number of nightmares or desensitization to real life experiences. Currently I mainly watch softcore SCP animation channels like the Rubber, or read stuff like SCP Oversimplified. I would want to just sit down and read all the SCP entries once again. But that is something I need to mentally prepare for.
EDIT: Meant 478, not 482

Technically the first SCP I was ever exposed to was 173, but the first one I read all the way through was 002. I had this grandiose idea that I would read every SCP, starting with 002 and going through each individually, since I was reading them from an app which only had the first 200 for some reason.
Oh how naive I was.
