,the SCP Foundation is a fictional collaborative writing project created by fans. all its details such as anomalous objects, procedures, locations, etc. are purely fictional and fan-made.
I remember that it originated on the /x/ paranormal board on 4chan in 2007 when the first SCP, SCP-173, was posted anonymously. This prompted other fans to create more fictional SCP files. In 2008, a standalone wiki was created on EditThis to host SCP articles. It became more organized when it moved to Wikidot in 2008, allowing fan contributions. There is no canonical story Just it is an open wiki where anyone can add new SCPs set in the same fictional universe, While it borrows elements from established genres like horror fiction, the SCP Foundation itself is not part of any existing book, movie or game franchise. It is purely a fan-driven fictional setting.
