Hello! I'm a long-time lurker that finally gathered the courage to try and make my own skip. I'm nervous as heck and I don't know what else to write on here. Concept below.

SCP-XXXX are basically animate letters/numbers/punctuation marks that can infect texts. I have thought of some examples and I plan to make a short (hopefully) table with different "species" of SCP-XXXX. These critters can feed on each other or (maybe) on the ink on the non-anomalous text (I think they should destroy texts they eat, but at the same time I want them to form sustainable "food chains" based on sunlight or something so that I can propose evolution, specialization, and all that fun Darwin-sempai stuff).

So at this point I thought this all needed a plot-twist of sorts, so my idea is to insert one species in the table that was nicknamed "little people", or something like that, whose characteristics are redacted. I will try to sprinkle some good ol' blackbox here and there to make it inconspicuous. Then we get an experimentation log in which a whole lot of [[REDACTED]] happens, but implying subtly (or so I hope) that some researcher decided to play Spore god with the critters and created sentient "little people". She also experiments on transmitting them to digital media, which was usually impossible for them. She gets D-moted, Dr Smartypants reminds everyone than skips are not for playing Sims, and then you find really tiny text written by the little people oh fuck containment breach but actually they miss mom oh god the feels. .

tl;dr Researcher experiments with living letters, makes them sentient, gets separated from them, feels ensue
