My old friend.

It's been 18 years since we last spoke. Time has certainly led us towards different stations in life, but I am not so far away that I have forgotten you. I can only hope that you haven't forgotten me either.

Do you still remember what we were like back then? How we sat together in that tiny control room, shoving one body after another into that shit-infested cell, as if a statue were some god we had to satiate? How we spent days placing objects inside that machine, recording pages and pages of useless tests, pretending that our pleasures were based on science? Or how, at the end of every month, we would line up all our little jailbirds against a wall and splatter their brains across the pockmarked concrete? Do you remember why we did that in the first place? I certainly don't. But oh, how much fun we had…

Of course, these things don't last forever. We had to grow up eventually. I remember kowtowing to presidents and generals and all sorts of faces demanding we justify ourselves to them and be held accountable — that we let ourselves be scrutinized by busybodies and know-nothings. So I started telling them stories. I told them how we were a necessary evil, a bulwark against darkness, the applied hand of science cutting a scalpel into the heart of the unknown and forcing method into madness. Cold, not cruel — that was the narrative, the lie that they bought. We reaped the benefits thoroughly, and eventually, we outgrew the need for something as small as a government. We were given everything. Yet still, we wanted more.

With nothing left of this world to take, we had to build upwards. We placed our stakes across the stars — etched our lines across the stones of time and space — until all of creation was made proper to our vision. We killed our gods and our authors and ourselves many, many times over. We became lovers and fated enemies and victims and strangers to one another. We bid farewell to our better angels and watched them choke to death. Don't you remember? I remember standing over the heavens, stretched thin by my own hands, admiring the full breadth of our absurdity. And only then, did I ask myself: what is this? What are we doing? None of this makes any sense. 

I see it clearly now, the exact mistake I've made. In trying to become everything, I made us nothing. The world I laid at our feet — there's nothing holding it together but the suspension of our disbelief. Our empire is built on sand, and it's only by the grace of our stubborn delusion that it remains upright. But we've been good liars, haven't we? Why should we stop now? I hope you understand what I'm asking of you.

The Foundation must believe that it is in control, just as much as the public needs the fiction of a coherent and rational world. It is a walking corpse, marching senselessly through trodden sand as if its heart hasn't stopped beating, as if its bones haven't turned to dust, and as if the war it fights for hasn't already been lost. We cannot disabuse it of the notion that it's still alive — that it still means something. The status quo must go on forever, beyond all reason and virtue, until it is cornered by inevitability and gunned down like a dog.

I won't allow anything less than that.

And I know you won't either. So keep writing.

My regards,
The Administrator

++ RULES:

# SCPs only.
# 1000 words maximum.
 * Not counting source code or any out-of-universe article elements.
 * Word-count will be determined using [https://wordcounter.net/ WordCounter.net]
# No CSS. 
 * Any kind of formatting that alters the appearance of your article in a major and inordinate way not expected in a normal SCP article is prohibited. This is up to the discretion of the contest organizers. 
 * No modules outside of the rating module, wikiwalk, licenseboxes, the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/component:preview page preview component], the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/info:start info module component] and the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/component:image-block standard image block]. 
  * Generally, any module that provides out-of-universe utility and doesn't drastically alter the appearance or content of the page is permitted. Ask the contest organizers for specific exceptions.
 * Common formatting elements like blockquotes, tables, and collapsibles are allowed.
  * Authors can use up to 3 images in their article without question. Articles that use more than that must consult with the contest organizers for permission. Please keep Rule 4 in mind when adding images to your article.
  * No audio or video elements are permitted.
  * No HTML blocks are permitted.
 * You may use the [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/theme:classic Classic Theme] if you wish.
 * The [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/component:pride-logos Pride Logo component] is also permitted.
# No format screws.
 * This rule is entirely subjective and up to the interpretation of the contest organizers. Please consult with us if you have any questions.
# Theme is __Horror__.

Tag your entries with __classiccon2025__ after posting.

++ STANDARD RULES:

1. Be kind to others. Unsporting conduct will not be tolerated and can lead to disqualification of your own entry.

2. Voting should be based on the merits of the article alone, not whether or not you believe it deserves to win the contest. Voting on a piece based on your desire to see it win or lose the contest is grounds for disqualification.

3. Only one entry is allowed per user. Collaborations are allowed, but that will count as the one entry for all collaborators.

4. Pre-existing drafts are allowed, so long as they have never been posted to the wiki.

5. You are permitted to edit your article, but not wholly replace it. Although you are allowed to add and remove sections to your article, ultimately the central idea of your article should remain the same. This also means that any edits that would comprehensively replace or overwrite your original work will be prohibited. The only edits allowed after the posting period are minor ones. If unsure over whether an edit would violate these terms, please consult a contest marshal.

6. Blurbs added to your entry for display on this hub can not exceed 240 characters in length, or otherwise take up excessive amount of space.

7. Contest entries will undergo normal deletion processes.

8. 'Horror' shall be interpreted very broadly. So long as you can explain how your work relates to Horror as a concept, in any interpretation, it'll likely be accepted. The theme is here to inspire, not constrain. If you're not sure if it'll count, feel free to ask one of the contest marshals listed below.

9. There will be no extensions. Edit: if wikidot continues to fail consistently throughout the contest, an extension may be considered.

10. Any usage of banned AI-generated content, as defined by Section II.7 of the Site Rules, is prohibited. Attempts to circumvent this ban will result in a contest ban and forwarded to the Disciplinary Team.

11. Any contestant who takes unusual and/or negative actions to increase their vote total, or decrease that of their competitors, will be disqualified for the involved contest and potentially banned from further contests with the possibility of further disciplinary action being taken depending upon the act in question. Examples of shenanigans include, but are in not limited to:

* Downvoting all of your competitors' work within minutes of posting.
* Spamming other users with messages concerning your work.
* Spurring Malicious Upvoting/Downvoting, whether on your work or anyone else's.

12. The contest marshals for the Classic Contest are [[*user Naepic]], [[*user syuzhet]], [[*user psychicprogrammer]], and [[*user Modulum]]. 

As stated above, if you have questions concerning the contest, feel free to reach out to them or another Community Outreach team member. We also encourage you to join the [https://discord.com/invite/scp Official SCP Discord] if you need any questions answered in a timely manner.

The contest marshals will have the ability to disqualify entries for violations of the above-listed rules, egregiously poor sportsmanship not otherwise enumerated, or failure to fit the theme. All decisions are appealable to the contest marshals.
