Here is an old version of my author page that had some pataphysics nonsense with self-inserts and in-universe documentation and etc etc. It's not very interesting but I did scatter some author commentary in footnotes!
 
[[collapsible show="old author page with pataphysics nonsense"]]
**DATE:** 5 May 2023
**FROM:** Maura Castaldo <m.castaldo@pata.scp.net>
**TO:** [[[operation-overmeta|Penelope Panagiotopolous]]] <p.panagiotopolous@pata.scp.net>
**SUBJECT:** SWN001-1-CH00 DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

Penelope,

We've been trying to identify "self-inserts" of the [[[sandrewswann-s-proposal|SWN001-1]]] entities for a while now, and I think we've been going about it wrong. So far we've been assuming a one-to-one correspondence — each "author" has a single "author avatar" that acts on its behalf in our narrative layer — but I think I've found some evidence that contradicts that theory. 

The following is a collection of personnel files from Foundation precursors, going all the way back to ancient Rome. I believe that all these individuals were "self-inserts" of the same SWN001-1 entity, which I have tentatively designated SWN001-1-CH00 — based on naming patterns, I believe that the entity's //nom de plume// may be a reference to the //Star Wars// character "Chewbacca", probably stylized "Ch00bakka"[[footnote]] This is SWN001-1-CH00 (better known as [[*user ch00bakka]]) speaking. I'm pretty sure that characters can't see footnotes, so this is where you're gonna get all the sweet, sweet author commentary. (In case there's any confusion, I am not S Andrew Swann and I didn't write that 001 proposal—I just think it's neat.)[[/footnote]]. 

The first document comes from the //Cura Praetoria Sapientae Occultae//, or Praetorian Office of Hidden Wisdom, an organization that was definitely not as similar to the Foundation as this document implies. I've reproduced the original below, and a translation follows.

There was a legit ancient rumor that Hadrian killed his boyfriend to cure him of some illness and this is an SCP for that. I think the MCD report isn't as good as it could be. I do like the poem I wrote in the SCP article and I think I should've written it in Latin also because poetic composition in dead languages usually impresses people. Also the name is a pun on Hadrian's Wall because, well, duh.[[/footnote]]

As you can see, we're already in the realm of the absurd. All of the items on the list of "Objects Studied" that haven't been damaged are definitely objects currently contained by the Foundation—they even have the right numbers! The CPSO never referred to anything as "SKΠ"—that's just a transliteration of "SCP" into the Greek alphabet! 

The next document comes from the Holy Vehm, the witch-finding courts of the Holy Roman Emperor. It does fit better with the historical record, but it's still got some issues that identify its origin in an SWN001-1 instance.

> **RECOVERED DOCUMENT SWN001-1-CH00-B: HOLY VEHM WITCH-COURT TESTIMONY**
> //July, 1532. Parchment, Cologne, Germany. Latin and High German. Translated by Maura Castaldo and Joseph Rosenbaum.//
> 
>  On the 12th day of July of the year of our lord 1532, the Ancient and Holy Vehm convened in the Archbishopric of Köln to come to a decision on the fate of seven persons suspected of witchcraft, heresy, and treason. The presiding judge was Dietricht Königsmann, accompanied by Brother Athanasius of the Benedictine order. Testimony was given by Inquisitrix-Sister Charlotta Oberst-Bakken of the order of Saint Catherine the Protector.
> 
> "I came to the Archbishopric in April, following a network of heretics who I had previously hunted down in Mainz. These heretics hold to a gnostic heresy known in Georgia from the time of Saint Constantine, replacing the host of the eucharist with a [[[SCP-2517|certain mushroom]]][[footnote]] SCP-2517 - This One Time I Saw God On Shrooms

Subtitled "God Was On Shrooms, Not Me". 

This one was inspired by a really intense mushroom trip during which I saw the fnords on my ceiling. It's heavily based on qntm's [[[antimemetics-division-hub|Antimemetics Division]]] stuff, but it shouldn't require prior knowledge of that canon. It’s a hallucinogenic mushroom that acts as a mnestic and also cushions your mind from harmful memetic effects; it lets you see the Fifth Church's God/[[[SCP-3125]]], an extradimensional meme-based organism that kills you and everyone with a similar mind if you perceive it. The mushrooms protect you from being erased and stop it from noticing you if you don't use them regularly, but don't protect your friends and family.

"Megatyphro" means "Big Cheese" in Greek, so Saint-Archon Horatius Megatyphro is Celebration "Big Cheese" Horace.  [[/footnote]] that causes them to experience false visions and to imagine that their family members—of which these heretics usually have few, if any—have been removed from the world by God.
> 
> "I tracked the heretics to a house on the outskirts of the city, sending my sisters around to guard the other doors and prevent any of them from escaping. Then we threw burning brands through the windows, catching the house ablaze. As the heretics fled from the building, we captured each one, binding them with chains of iron to prevent any witchcraft or sorcery. We returned to the cathedral, and each heretic confessed to their sins under torture. 
> 
> "Four of the heretics you see before you have repented, and should be executed by beheading or hanging so that their death is not painful; the remainder have refused to recant, and should be burned at the stake as is fitting for unrepentant witches."
> 
> Inquisitrix-Sister Charlotta's recommendations were followed; the mushroom in question was officially designated as Heretical Object Two Thousand, Five Hundred and Seventeen.
> 
>	

The order of Saint Catherine the Protector doesn't show up anywhere else; and take a look at those initials. We also have no evidence that the Holy Vehm ever catalogued more than a few hundred heretical objects, and most of those were just different translations of the bible, not anomalous artifacts. And again, the number matches the SCP designation of a mushroom with identical effects.

We're jumping to the 20th century, now. This one is actually a Foundation personnel file, dating from the late 60s. It fits with the other SWN-001-1 "self-insert" files we've seen.

I just don't think it's very good. It used to like..... fuckin' kill you hardcore, like everyone would come back injured in a ~thematic way~, but I took that out pretty quick.

This was just me writing an SCP based on that exact line from the [[[Fifthist Hub]]]. I don't think I executed it well but it's like at +60 which is real fuckin surprising. Roll that frog footage. [[/footnote]]

> [[[SCP-4065]]] ("Ancho(red) Reality")[[footnote]] i don't like humes or SRAs, and people usually don't use them consistently anyways, so why not write something about why that is? scranton is a woman this time because I Do What I Want. you can see this as an alternate universe—it's definitely not canon with SCP-3001 or SCP-3326—but i like to imagine that every other scp that's contained with reality anchors or that measures humes is Just Bullshit. [[/footnote]]
> 
> [[[SCP-4066]]] ("The Byzantine Empire Was Secretly Aliens")[[footnote]]This was my 4000-con entry; it came in 48th. The seed of the idea came from [[*user Randomini]]'s Cool War 2; I have no idea how this fits into the Cool War 2 canon, but I'm sure someone will make it work (the alien anartist is there as a plot hook). Irene's Daimon is inspired by [[*user Communism Will Win]]'s 2000-con magnum opus, [[[SCP-2020 |"Cliche, Right?"]]]; can you figure out all the references? [[/footnote]]

Notably, 1066 wasn't contained until the 21st century, and 2573 didn't manifest until the fall of the Soviet Union. This individual doesn't show up in the main personnel records, only in a paper file in Site-23's archive. 

The last document I have for you is the most recent. It's the [[[the-seltzorcism|Void bio]]][[footnote]]Overheard At Deer

Sometimes you start talking shit in IRC and 7 hours later you've got a spicy new tale. ARD wrote most of the tweets, I did the handles and images. The sexy formatting is from TyGently's [[[Intermission]]], which you should read because it's great.

Secret canon: Jean Cena is an scp-3331-1 instance. She's a trans lesbian and a Theatre/Ontokinetics major here to apply her natural Cena reality-bending abilities to the greatest performance art of them all, professional wrestling.

Ask me about my magickal practice some time! [[/footnote]] I also play for the [[[portlands-roller-derby|Legion of Dynamic Derby]]][[footnote]] The seed of this idea was, as with everything I write now, a joke in the Third Law chatroom. This was originally supposed to be a collab between Taffeta and me but I wrote like 75% of it all in one go and there was nothing left to collab on. GreenWolf, Taffeta, TyGently, NineVolt and A Random Day all helped out with ideas and crit. And it's tagged as goi-format, not tale, because I have at least one more of these in the pipeline and consistency is key. Oh, and I don't actually play roller derby. [[/footnote]] in the 3Ports Derby League, and I'm a pretty big fan of the [[[prank-war-one|local rugby league]]][[footnote]] Welcome to the Sports Zone, population me. I literally do not know anything about rugby, but that doesn't really matter, because the game itself rarely comes into play. This continues my quest to fill the Third Law canon with sports listicles until it hits a critical mass and i can spin off my own Sports Listicle Canon. [[/footnote]] as well, but I don't actually play. :P

To quote the Wikipedia page on phone sex, "A key advantage of phone sex, compared with physical intimacy, is that it cannot transmit a sexually transmitted infection."

The inspiration for this was a post on the OutOfContextSite19 tumblr, "Terrible SCP idea: an STD that is somehow transmissible by reading erotica." If you were the person who said this in #Site19, this is your child. Congratulations.[[/footnote]]

> [[[SCP-3337|Death of the Artist]]] - (CW suicide) Suicide made into performance art. (4/5 identical corpses)[[footnote]]SCP-3337 - Death of the Artist

I wrote this one after going to MoMa in New York while in the depths of a depressive episode. I was up on the top floor looking over a balcony and started having suicidal thoughts (the usual) and then i was like "wait, what if i got one of those gallery labels and stuck it to the wall and THEN jumped" and then i was like "wait what if that was an SCP". At first it was just the tag, which summoned a jumper like once a day, but then i switched it, which i thought worked better.

it got a shoutout in the [[[LostAndFoundation]]] podcast which was pretty cool.[[/footnote]]

I honestly haven't decided whether these wine bottles actually come from Alagadda or that's the marketing angle MC&D have decided to use. I might write a MCD-format article that explains that, either as the result of a (possibly millenia-long) trade agreement with one of the Masked Lords or as a clever marketing trick to spin some boring old blood rituals into something more exotic.

Originally this actually was going to be about a millenia-old relationship between MCD and Alagadda, but then Enzo appeared and I decided to cut all the ancient stuff about transport amphorae and ancient Roman religion. Thanks Enzo.

I'm fairly sure that this last one is the most true-to-life of SWN001-1-CH00's author avatars—I've developed a psychological profile of the entity, which I've attached to this email. Creating these profiles for all the SWN001-1 author entities should help us identify other cases in which one entity has multiple "self-insert" characters.
