Fandom Stuff

What's been going on in the community aside from our site? Well…

Site 7 Midnight Radio - A podcast hosted by Blackbird5154 iavev

ZAP has created SCP MOVIE: Episode 1, a well-shot, tensely-filmed, and atmospheric video about SCP-004. It's in Russian, but with English subtitles, so you can enjoy it!

This Exists, a YouTube channel pointing out and explaining cool pop culture stuff, did a video on the SCP Wiki! The video is short and succinct, and while it doesn't cover everything, it's a great entry video for those new.

Daily_SCP is a subreddit that showcases a new SCP a day, from the well-known to the obscure and hidden. A good way to find new skips you may not have heard of; I know I've discovered a couple new favorites from it. It's run by user HighlyDestruct7.

SCP Minecraft yet again rises from the grave! Servers are run by Doctor Cimmerian

Come back next month when there's more articles and content your way! This is a new feature, so let me know what you think, if the standards for showcasing should be greater (this showcased articles with a rating higher than +10 ), what fancontent I've missed, etc. I'd be happy to make this better for you guys! :)
