Essay Hub

Welcome to the Essay Hub!



The Essay Hub is the centralized location for informational pages written by members of the SCP community. Unlike the Guide Hub, the following articles are not considered official advice or required reading, but may still be interesting or useful.

Unlike the “guide” tag, the “essay” tag can be added by authors to their own works, which can then be added here in the appropriate place. Non-essay hub pages containing useful information have also been listed below. Ask a member of the MAST collab log pruning team if you're unsure whether your work meets the criteria to be classed as an Essay, or if you think a new subsection should be created.

On the Setting of the SCP Foundation

Includes some official guides and hub pages, as well as unofficial essays on the setting, and compilation lists open to contributions from any site member. Note that even the official guides can be contradicted in articles if it serves the story - there is no canon that authors must follow!

Articles tagged with "orientation" may also offer useful background information on the Foundation Universe.

Miscellaneous

These might be helpful, but are meant to be silly and not taken seriously!
