Antimemetics Division Hub (⁂)
I recommend reading the Antimemetics Division Hub page in order from the beginning (SCP-055) through SCP-3125:
[…]
Critical background reading
SCP-055
There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm (2015) This story is complete.
We Need To Talk About Fifty-Five
Introductory Antimemetics (⁂)
Unforgettable, That’s What You Are
CASE COLOURLESS GREEN
Your Last First Day
Five Five Five Five Five by qntm (2017–)
SCP-3125
[…]
reading anything past SCP-3125 isn’t needed IMO, especially since the rest of the “Five Five Five Five Five” series is unfinished. (EDIT: It’s been finished now, but IMO you should still just stop after 3125)
Also, in my opinion, Introductory Antimemetics is the best tale on the site by far
Other Good Tales
SCUTTLE (⁂)
Your Very First SCP!
Your Very Last SCP!
Footnotes/Disclaimers:
This is a provisional draft, and has been assembled retroactively after reading the site for many years – I’m definitely forgetting some I really liked, especially in Series II. This will be updated as I add things, and I’ll reblog myself when I’ve added to it significantly
This is non-exhaustive, it’s not a list of all good SCPs, just some of my favorites that I remember. (682 is both not one of my favorites and also Not Good, though)
This also isn’t an intro guide for beginners, which would be organized differently and would require a lot more thought about order, when to introduce different aspects of the Meta, when to start linking format-screws, etc.
CW for ableism, carcerality, body horror, etc. on all of these links. It’s the SCP wiki
Lastly – you can figure out what ██████ is in SCP-3005 - A Light That Died (“An ██████’s safe on shore but it’s the last thing you want to hold when you’re drowning”) and figuring this out really pulls the entry together!!
