I hate you.

The SCP site has, more than anything else I've ever read, made me aware of precisely how much weight that your opinion of the author holds when judging someone's work. I liked the SCP site. I really did. I wasted hours reading them. Some were dull, some were interesting, and some actually managed to creep me out. Then, I get the bright idea to try my hand at it. Surely, with hundreds of SCP entries, and with so many bad entries that frankly weren't good reads, I figured that writing one up couldn't possibly be that difficult, right? How foolish I was.

It turns out that first you have to join the site. An experience more convoluted and bizarrely unintuitive that words along cannot describe. A fair example of this painstaking process can be read here:

And that isn't even the entirety of it. Part of the application process is going into their IRC chat, pming an admin, getting a "password" which is just whatever the admins think of at the moment, and then putting that "password" and who gave it to you into the appropriate box in the application. This password is then verified upon reviewer of your application.

God could've took his shit to a part of the world that I, and tons of other people didn't give a shit about.
