It sounded neat, and I was and likely will always remain a slight edgelord at heart, so off I ran with it. Eventually, I worked backward and made it an acronym for Dr. I think there are a few ideas and works that never really made it off the old forums, but it may be for the best.Īhh yes, Cog…honestly I picked it because it was the formal name for gears and such, and it sounded neat. Still, without some kind of structure, it was never going to be anything more than just weird net scribbling. Which was both a good and bad thing, I think…yes, it made things harder, but I think many of the issues the modern fandom has had mostly trace back to ego and the voting module. Hell, 4chan doesn't really have Ids, so everything just lived in a void. My first few ideas were born, and it sort of rolled on from there.īefore the first wiki, you have to remember, there really wasn't a fandom. Eventually, I thought “Hey, I think I can do this…and if it sucks, it'll just vanish anyway, so what the hell!” and started writing and posting. I like found-footage-type stuff, and this SCP thing seemed like that, and probably part of some mysterious series I didn't know about, so I started digging around. Creepypasta was really hitting a stride at that time, and things like Ted the Caver, Dionaea House, John Dies At The End, House of Leaves, and the like were swirling around amid thousands of short horror snippets and series.

I couldn't tell you the exact date I first ran across the original SCP-173, but I do remember seeing the thumbnail for it on the /x/ board of 4chan and being very uneasy as I went to click. The honor is all mine, I'm just tickled that people are still taking an interest in me after all this time! Hopefully, I'm just a stepping stone to bigger and brighter things but pleased all the same. Was that name based on anything in particular? Additionally, feel free to share anything about your initial experience in the early fandom. ![]() How did you end up getting acquainted with SCP? Did you happen to see the original SCP-173 post at the time or just a repost of it later on? It is also my understanding that you went by Cogs back in the day. ![]() With all of that being said, let's start with an introductory question for you. ![]() Thankfully, that goal has been met as of today!
