Hello!
As the writer of this article, I would like to share my sincere gratitude for this video as it really is an honor. I wrote 4010 as a love letter to the community, trying to piece together as many parts of the universe as I could (and I realise today that I could have made a better job). I really had two ideas in mind when I was writing this, first was to explain why there is so many contradictions on the wiki and second, to make a story that would mirror the readers experiences. Madeleine is reading through the database just like any new member of the wiki would and that is what I wanted to capture.
Thank you again, Explorer, you just made my day!

So this is literally the SCP foundation going from real to not even a concept, to her becoming the literal creator of her old universe, eventually creating herself. That's crazy.

O5 Council: aight gimme a quick rundown

The SCP universe lacks a consistent canon. However that lack of canon is a vital part of its canon.

It's not just the history of the Foundation in-universe, but the history of the wiki itself. I especially liked the beginning of the story where Madeleine is exploring different SCPs much like how readers browse the wiki. Kudos to the writer, this whole thing is so meta it's amazing.

This is the REAL scp-001 for me. By sifting through chaos and structuring it you destroy it, creating order. I like that idea alot

05: Go short this mess out.

*Some time later*

05: We might have made a mistake…

"Are We Cool Yet? No, you are not."
Sums up everything there needs to be known about them.

Documenting timelines and histories? Kind of perfect how the next SCP is 4011 - History is written by the victors

"Can we have a timeline?"
"No, but here's an scp"

[michaelwilson]

05 - "You can completely sort out our timeline or go search for that needle we shot out in space in 1964"
Me - "When do I launch?"

[WalterJHuaman]

"...the universe runs on chaos and demands to remain broken."

The moment Madeline found the image of 173, It brought a smile on face.
This was a good meta SCP.

SCP - 4010 - When you meta so hard you break reality, then unbreak it, then break it, then unbreak it...

Man I had chills when she uploaded the photo and people "liked the post and begin creating their own SCPs" and "reminding her of the old days"

[EdricLysharae]

The author of this SCP really did their homework!

[tombombadilofficial]

So she's basically the Tom Bombadil of the SCP universe in terms of knowledge of its world only with a tragic ending.

[azelia]

This one is interesting. I like how everything unfolded as she progressed, then all came back together, starting over again. Really creative

Gate Guardian: I am the real SCP-001
Broken God: No, I am the real SCP-001

I LOVE how they referenced SCP-1548 "The Hateful Star", as well as it's eventual move to the Explained archive 😊.
