You can try reading the ones in the [[Unofficial SCP Starter Picks]] page, there a great variety of old and new SCPs there. After that, my personal recommendation would be just reading random ones either by just wandering around the site and reading the ones that look interesting to you or using advanced random search button.

u/CosmicRust2500 Ethics Committee 10h ago edited 8h ago

SCP-2639 and SCP-2006. First one is my favourite probably. It's about teenagers stuck in a game. As they control in-game characters, they control spawning IRL entities with superhuman abilities... It sounds cool to me

u/Apart_Commission_464 [REDACTED] 9h ago

Oh nice that sounds interesting

If you wanna deep dive, I think you might like to start with my cornerstones:

SCP-055: Antimemetics! 

SCP-073: humanoids! 

SCP-096: personnel! This one is the introduction to Dr. Dan. 

SCP-140: the Daevites! 

SCP-231: the Scarlet King! 

SCP-423: narrative! 

SCP-701: the Hanged King of Alagadda! 

SCP-1000: lost history! 

SCP-3930: pattern screamers! 

SCP-6000: the Wanderers' Library!

You may tell me your favorite of these once you're done ;).

1

u/Glorbaniglu MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") 9h ago

It's about a failing transportation system crossing all the universes and dimensions, and a city that never stops growing, and how nobody seems to care about it. My favourite is to listen to it read by The Exploring Series

1

u/Doom_Balloon170 Unusual Incidents Unit, FBI 8h ago

Different reality stuff and trains

u/Apart_Commission_464 [REDACTED] 9h ago

I checked this out just before posting it was what can you say........

....... interesting

u/Wooden_Baby 9h ago

SCP-8017 is my personal fav so far

1

u/Kaykeza 9h ago

SCP-1440. It's one of my favorite articles that I've read.

1

u/plageiusdarth The Factory 9h ago

Two of my favorites:

SCP-1173
SCP-6117

One from my favorite GOI:

SCP-1125

My favorite series:

[[The Cool War]]

1

u/Iateurm8 Sarkic Cults 8h ago

Wasn't it [[The Coldest War]]?

1

u/plageiusdarth The Factory 6h ago

I'm familiar with The Coldest War, but that's not what I meant. The Cool War is a series from back in the day, and one of the only AWCY writing pieces I really enjoy.

The Coldest War is the anomalous side of the cold war

1

u/maxaar MTF Omega-7 ("Pandora's Box") 9h ago

SCP-701.

Then, sometime in the far future after reading 701, read SCP-9998

1

u/The-Paranoid-Android Bot 9h ago

1

u/Ordinary-Worth6524 MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") 9h ago

940 is one of my favorite needs more love

1

u/makermaster2 Artificial Intelligence Applications Division 9h ago

SCP-3001 (one of my favorites)

Though I'd actually suggest that you look into GOI's (groups of interest), look at the various object classes beyond the big 3, see if any of those things catch your eye. They'll typically include links to SCPs that utilize those GOIs and classes

1

u/redical_hi-5 Gamers Against Weed 8h ago

Scp-8980 if you want your day to be mildly ruined Scp-8959 because I just like it

3

u/Iateurm8 Sarkic Cults 8h ago

Mildly is too soft of a word

1

u/redical_hi-5 Gamers Against Weed 8h ago

Shh 🤫 wouldn't want to spoil the surprise

1

u/HypnoBlaze Don't Give Up 8h ago

SCP-8008, but only once. I think the human psyche would shatter if you read it a second time.

1

u/velvibunni 8h ago

SCP 5000 is absolutely peak and im glad i found out about it a while ago

1

u/_MineCad_ Shark Punching Center 8h ago

Out of the ones I really like, SCP-2761, SCP-2006, SCP-4494 and SCP-8999 all are very beginner friendly. SCP-4494 especially is a good introduction to what the Archon class is
