It's not just the complete lack of trace in the fossil record. It's the 
species. How could it have been a pachycephalosaurid that 
developed intelligence? They were at best average for Cretaceous 
fauna. Why not a troodontid, an ornithomimid, or another small 
theropod? There's something going on here that we're missing. - Dr.

Document-2746-9 


A word to those who find this place, 


Congratulations. You found __. Go back. Go back, and forget about 
it. You would be much better off. If you insist, fine, but just humor 
someone trying to give you advice, and read this first. 


You probably knew of _ ; thought of it as a paradise, a holy ground 
where nothing could have gone wrong, death couldn't touch anyone, 
and everyone was content. No sin... | suppose it was. Not any more. 
We've abandoned that notion a long, long time ago. 


Get this in your head right now; __ is dead. 


After what happened, we fought each other. | had to watch as our 
brother, our sister, our sons, and daughters were starved into 
madness and pinned to a cross, and half the time, | was the one 
who had to do it; the other times, it was Sari. There were those | had 
no mercy for; the ones that tortured, the ones that... indulged. Then 
there were the ones | regret; those | knew personally... | almost 


didn't do it, but | thought | had to. So | did. 


lam a very different person because of what happened here. | miss 
my friends. | miss the old me who liked to just sing and fuck around. 
| miss the times where we all liked each other, the times where no 
one was hurting, and the times where 'protector' only meant 
breaking up an argument every now and then. | would give up 
anything to return to that time. 


That's why | don't want anyone seeing this place anymore; it's bad 
ground. If some authoritative body finds it, fine, | don't care so long 
as you have it left alone. It's a graveyard, not an attraction. 


Do | feel like a protector? No, | don't. | resent that title, and anytime 
someone calls me that, | feel dead inside. The only person | could 
relate to is Sari, and that's because she did the same things | did. 
The two of us are the only ones left; the others... they couldn't 
handle being the only ones left, so they just gave up. We had the 
opportunity to join them, but... it didn't feel right at the time, 
especially after everything we've done. 


Now, we just want it forgotten. We want a chance at a happier life, 
and hopefully we've got that by the time you read this. Hopefully, 
when we've cleaned the slate, exchanged this ‘divinity’ for simple, 
human lives, — won't find us again. It's all we can hope for. 


Signed, 


Suwaird 


Annotation: Document-2746-9 required no translation, due to it 
being written in modern English. Doc-2746-9 is estimated to have 
been written [DATA EXPUNGED] years after the previous 
documents (approximately 140 years before the discovery of 
SCP-2746). Doc-2746-9 was found near the remains of a domestic 
cat (Felis catus) and a flemish giant rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), 
presumed to be the bodies of Suwaird and Sari.

SCP-2747: As below, so above 


Item #: SCP-2747 
Object Class: Euclid Keter 
Threat Level: Green @ Black @ 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation watchdog 
algorithms are to monitor online and print media for mention of 
SCP-2747-positive keyphrases. All matches are to be tagged and 
forwarded to the Department of Analytics, which will provide further 
confirmation of SCP-2747 manifestation. In case of positive 
identification, all affected media are to be suitably corrected via 
standard Foundation media alteration protocols (912-A "TWILIGHT 
ZONE", 943-A "POISONED WELL"). 


Show Observational Procedure LUCID CHALICE 


Controlled observation of SCP-2747 will take place using 
local computing resources to procedurally generate 
narratives at varying levels of complexity and 
nestedness. Simultaneously, descriptions of the 
narratives are to be generated using Foundation media- 
parsing analytic/meta-analytic software at varying 
degrees of abstraction. The results can then be 
examined for signs of SCP-2747 by periodically scanning 
for data irregularities. Any generated narrative containing 
such irregularities can then be flagged as an instance of 
SCP-2747, with its seed conditions subsequently tagged 
as SCP-2747-conducive. Given a large enough sample 
size, the boundary conditions of SCP-2747 can then be 
identified and mapped with a sufficient degree of clarity. 


Furthermore, a watchlist of 7,000 artists is to be 
maintained and observed at all times for localised signs 
of SCP-2747 manifestation in their respective works 


using the aforementioned analytic/meta-analytic 
software. In order to increase the observable resolution 
and range of deeply-nested metafictional manifestations, 
this watchlist should consist mainly of individuals, groups 
and organisations whose works tend toward containing 
metafictional content, such as mise-en-abymes and 
stories-within-stories. The sponsoring and/or covert 
influencing of such content creators can be sanctioned to 
that end. 


The results of LUCID CHALICE will be documented 
within the current documentation as Appendix B. 


Description: SCP-2747 is a phenomenon appearing in print and 
online media whereby platforms dedicated to the discussion of 
works of fiction begin to mention a nonexistent instance of fictional 
media. Despite said nonexistence, articles, posts, comments, and 
other related metacontent created with regard to the nonexistent 
work of fiction will be found treating it as real. The nonexistent work 
of fiction can be mentioned by various individuals in varying 
capacities, ranging from brief mentions in forum posts to being the 
subject of entire academic essays. 


Descriptions, screenshots, photographs of physical copies, and brief 
segments of text from said work of fiction can often be discovered in 
SCP-2747-affected media. Descriptions of it are entirely consistent 
with each other, and it has proven possible to reconstruct whole 
segments of fictitious media via descriptions of it taken from 
SCP-2747-generated metacontent. A list of fictitious media 
generated by SCP-2747 has been appended below (see Appendix 
A). 


Where possible, the affected material can be traced to existing 
individuals; however, when questioned under duress, said 
individuals invariably deny having written the affected material, and 
deny all existence of the fictitious media mentioned within. 


SCP-2747 has never been documented in real time; all observed 
instances thus far have been recorded post-hoc. No instances have 
been documented prior to January 2008. The reason for this is 
unknown. conforms to pataphysical observations documented in full 


in Appendix B. 


It is the current hypothesis of the Department of Analytics that 
SCP-2747 represents evidence of a naturally-occuring anafabula, or 
anti-narrative: a cluster of interdependent signs, iconography and 
narremes! that, when included to a sufficient extent within a fictional 
construct, leads to mutual annihilation. First-hand reconstruction of 
the anafabula's properties is impossible given its anomalous nature, 
but second-hand and third-hand descriptions have been generated 
from Observational Procedure LUCID CHALICE and appended 
below (see Appendix B)2. It can effect through layers of 
metafictional narrative, i.e. a metanarrative containing the anafabula 
will cease to exist within the narrative, followed by the narrative itself 
disappearing from our reality.3 The key identifier of the anafabula is 
that it invariably represents an in-universe antagonist or anathema in 
all manifestations of SCP-2747, likely due to inherent narreme 
components indicating its alien, yet centralising, nature. 


UPDATE: The abovementioned hypothesis has been 
confirmed as a working model of SCP-2747. Please refer 
to Appendix B. 


UPDATE: The following procedures are to be enacted 
following the successful conclusion of Observational 
Procedure LUCID CHALICE (see Appendix B). 


¢ At no time are the properties of the anafabula as 
outlined in Appendix B to arise in real life, 
whether as a result of deliberate or natural action. 
Any object, person or event bearing more than 
significance-level a to the semblance threshold is 
to be altered via whatever means possible. 
Access to information regarding SCP-2747, 
especially the information contained within 
Appendix B, is to be strictly limited to clearance 
levels 4-2747 and 3-ANALYTICS. 
¢ Due to the pataphysical implications and inherent 
uncontainability of SCP-2747 as detailed in 
Appendix B, it is to be classified as Keter with 
immediate effect.

Nonexistent work referenced: Punta de la 
espira 

Medium: Short story 

Extent of manifestation: 17 articles created 
and edited on http://es.wikipedia.org. 
Summary of work: Punta de la espira 
(English: "Tip of the Spire/Spiral") is apparently 
a 1951 short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 
It describes an unnamed protagonist as he 
sails down a river towards a desolate, "black, 
horned" mountain in order to deliver a gift to 
an unspecified recipient. The journey is rough 
and treacherous, and he dies of exhaustion at 
the end of the story appearing to be no closer 
to his goal than when he first began. The 
mountain is described in detail throughout the 
story, with recurring metaphors alternatingly 
alluding to it as either an abode of the gods or 
a demonic presence. 


Nonexistent work referenced: TJa/toru 
(Japanese: 4-4 FKJL)4 

Medium: Animated film 

Extent of manifestation: 1 article created on 
http: //www.tvtropes.org, with 55 edits 
made to various trope pages ranging from 
"Despair Event Horizon" to "Foreshadowing" 
and "What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made On 
Drugs?" 

Summary of work: TJaitoru appears to be an 
animated film directed by Satoshi Kon shortly 
before his death. It is described as a 
psychological thriller chronicling a struggling 
manga artist as she attempts to complete and 
publish her first work under a tight deadline. 
Stress takes its toll and boundaries blur; she 


begins to hallucinate, and the movie ends 
ambiguously as to whether she has achieved 
her goal or succumbed to her weaknesses. 
Typical of Kon's style, the animation is 
described as meticulous, kaleidoscopic, and 
occasionally deeply disturbing; one scene 
features the protagonist physically grappling 
with the shadows in her apartment - described 
under the trope entry for "Your Mind Makes It 
Real" as the manifestation of her creative 
block - which eventually engulf and consume 
her. 


Nonexistent work referenced: No Sister of 
Mine 

Medium: Video game 

Extent of manifestation: 77 threads on 
http: //forums .somethingawful.com, 
each carrying between 3 to 103 comments. 
Most users were established members of the 
Something Awful community. 

Summary of work: No Sister of Mine is 
supposedly a turn-based role-playing video 
game of the fantasy/horror genre published by 
Poakahan? for the Nintendo Gamecube in 
2005. According to reviewers, the player 
controls a party of 6 unnamed characters as 
they explore a ruined kingdom with the 
intention to find a lost companion referred to 
as "Sister". It was widely panned by the 
reviewers, with much criticism being levelled at 
the glitch-filled battle system, incoherent 
dialogue, seemingly incomplete graphics, 
repetitive soundtrack described as 
"nauseating" and "headache-inducing", as well 
as being impossible to complete. The game's 
non-playable characters continuously mention 
a "coalblack thornbound tome" that, when read 
from, would enable one to either obtain great 
power, or unleash a dreadful curse; what most 


reviewers assumed to be the final quest line 
required the player to backtrack through the 
game's previous areas and recover fragments 
of the tome using their newfound abilities. 
However, the reviewers unanimously claim 
that no fragments can be found. One reviewer 
goes as far as to claim that the items 
themselves were never found inside the 
game's coding in the first place. 


Nonexistent work referenced: The 
Scolipendra Wiki 

Medium: Collaborative fiction 

Extent of manifestation: 49 different pieces 
of fanfiction (ranging from 343 to 2,401 words 
in length) posted on http: // 
www.fanfiction.net, each bearing 
between 1 and 6 comments. 

Summary of work: The Scolipendra Wiki is 
deduced to be an online collaborative fictional 
universe belonging to the horror, speculative 
fiction, and weird fiction genres. It appears to 
have been hosted on some form of wiki site, 
though the address itself is never mentioned. 
The exact nature of Scolipendra's plot is hard 
to discern, as the various pieces of fanfiction 
sport vastly differing storylines and a range of 
character interpretations, further complicated 
by the involvement of other fictional universes 
and settings. What is known is that it involves 
a cast of 7 characters wandering between a 
series of realms, amassing and collecting 
items possessing supernatural or abnormal 
properties. One item features heavily 
throughout the compiled works: a 7-sided 
obsidian emblem said to possess the power to 
destroy any object, person, or abstract concept 
with a single touch. It appears to be of great 
interest to the protagonists, who repeatedly 
make attempts to acquire it; however, it also 


appears to be currently in the possession of a 
sinister unnamed antagonist who is alluded to 
repeatedly in several works, yet is never seen. 


Nonexistent work referenced: //O 

Medium: Musical aloum 

Extent of manifestation: Review columns in 
a total of 14 reputable publications, including 
The New Bombay Times, Pitchfork and L.A. 
Flipside. 

Summary of work: //O is described as the 
ninth studio album by the now-defunct English 
rock band Radiohead. It contains 6 tracks 
measuring a total of 34 minutes and 18 
seconds. The majority of tracks appear to 
consist mostly of digitally manipulated samples 
from Radiohead's previous albums, layered 
over with sparse acoustic instrumentation and 
vocals. Reception of the aloum appears to be 
highly positive, with the exception of 
Pitchfork's Jessica Greene who gave an 
average review of 7.0.6 It is mentioned that the 
aloum uses a Characteristic grating, binaural 
reverb layered over lead singer Thom Yorke's 
solo vocal track as a musical motif, embodying 
what The New Bombay Times' Gulshan 
Anirudh believes to be its central themes of 
"spirals of isolation and inspiration ... of 
feedback loops that resonate into the level of 
the deeply personal, the trembling core of 
creative psyche". Anirudh also mentions lyrics 
referencing suicide and self-harm, though 
presented through a series of oblique 
metaphors: //O "never fears to toy with the 
idea of self-hatred and self-desecration - yet 
the aloum as a whole seems to fall short of its 
mark, always orbiting yet never quite touching 
upon the dreadful center."
