It\u2019s also similar to the TV series <em>The Lost Room<\/em>. An \u201cSCP\u201d is a Special Containment Procedure that specifies how to handle a specific anomaly. The wiki amounts to an enormous set of worldbuilding notes plus some stories based on them.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my playlists so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNAKldKpY1d4meV8PyTJkfZPzrm3Xfz6A\">SCP Overview<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNAKldKpY1d4Taevb27Ji53T8RzsBp42P\">SCP 002-099<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNAKldKpY1d7uVUo8RiYWGoqme8lCG3du\">SCP 100-199<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SCP-001 is like a capstone on the whole collection, so I\u2019m adding it last, if I ever get that far. It\u2019s actually a set of proposed SCPs, so it\u2019ll probably get its own playlist.<\/p>\n<p>For my playlists I\u2019m taking a broad approach that lets me visit my favorite creators in the SCP readings community based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/scp-wiki.wikidot.com\/audio-adaptations\">audio adaptations list<\/a> on the wiki. If you\u2019re interested in this topic and want an already complete one-stop shop for readings, I highly recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@SCPOrientation\">SCP Orientation<\/a> channel on YouTube. It&#8217;s extensive, immersive, and well organized.<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 0759358a-0c4f-4265-9359-b1119a073341 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas \ud83d\ude10 I made a small start Christmas list.
