This chart uses the Chambliss Produce Distress Scale to compare relative inadequacies in the current writing of each SCP. This scale categorizes the degree of problem that each marked SCP has by comparing them to fruit, on a five-point scale from least troublesome to most:
Pear: Low-level complications; minor phrasing issues, could use some cleanup, low-priority. Slightly misshapen, otherwise still delicious.
Grapefruit: An acquired taste. Still not as good as you remembered. Quite noticeably needs work.
Cucumber: Decent idea, can be turned into something excellent with an investment of effort, time, and dill.
Avocado: Vaguely functional at best. Capable of executing the given idea only when heavily processed and cilantro is added. Best with nachos. Do not touch otherwise. Probably only still available due to shilling by agribusiness lobbyists.
Jicama: Of the devil. Burn all traces. Leave nothing behind. Or rewrite, I guess.
SCP | Author | Rating | CPDS Analysis | Problem | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
SCP-801 | +24 | Pear | Structure | Lede buried too deep. Anomalous features of item not described until eighth paragraph of description. | |
SCP-802 | +62 | Pear | Tone | Just fucks me up with adverbs and weird phrasing. "The music is constantly skipping and stuttering, as if being played on an antique vinyl record player in poor condition." | |
SCP-804 | +267 | Pear | Tone | Use of first-person plural in Description. Actual description and recovery information is all jumbled up in the Description. | |
SCP-805 | +65 | Pear | Tone | Overuse of expungement. | |
SCP-807 | +108 | Cucumber | Tone | Pretty lolfoundationy. Cute but goofily written. Could be rewritten into something more serious, but would probably lose its charm. | |
SCP-809 | +47 | Cucumber | Plot | Misunderstanding of mental illness, use of "amnesiac", use of an SCP on captured prisoners as an "enhanced interrogation" tool | |
SCP-812 | +45 | Grapefruit | Plot | Lolfoundation researcher note at the end. | |
SCP-815 | +52 | Pear | Tone | Lolfoundation researcher note at the end. | |
SCP-816 | +98 | Grapefruit | Tone | Whole description reads like a NatGeo article. | |
SCP-817 | +38 | Pear | Tone | Iffy redactions. | |
SCP-819 | +71 | Pear | Tone | Random 05 note in the middle. Sort of a dumb article, that notwithstanding. | |
SCP-820 | +67 | Cucumber | Tone | Heavy overuse of expungement. | |
SCP-825 | +40 | Avocado | Tone | Sucks from balls to brasseire. Also the rest of it. | |
SCP-829 | +20 | Grapefruit | Tone | Overuse of expungement. Sort of a questionable plot, too. | |
SCP-832 | +60 | Jicama | Everything | It's an anomalous item. | |
SCP-833 | +83 | Pear | Tone | Minor shit, adverbs, interview log could be touched up. | |
SCP-834 | +90 | Cucumber | Tone | The Description has two full sentences. Grammar shit. Too many redactions. | |
SCP-841 | +66 | Avocado | Everything | Anomalous Item with bells. Misformatted. SCP's name is included in the document. Random GOI insert. | |
SCP-842 | +63 | Pear | Expungements | Goofy expungements. | |
SCP-843 | +58 | Grapefruit | Plot, Expungements | Cute anomalous item. Could use less expungement | |
SCP-850 | +48 | Grapefruit | Expungements,tone | I think it sounds like super stilted prose. Either way, too much expungement. | |
SCP-859 | +40 | Avocado | Expungements, plot, shittiness | Anomalous item with bells. Overuse of expungements. |
