Recent post sent me down the rabbit hole of Little Misters, and story behind Mr. Brass is vastly different than the one behind the other entries in the category.
Which got me thinking - is SCP a collection of entries from a single org? Or a collection of files from shattered multiverse of SCP Foundations, the ones from present, the not-so-different future(s) as well as the ones from alt histories akin of SCP-093 or SCP-1730?
Personally, from immersion standpoint, it bugs me that the librarian glosses over the fact that some files clearly cannot coexist within the same reality. Or did SCP-2000 got activated multiple times and we pretend it never happened?
What’s your take?

Smooth solution
I haven’t delved super deeply into SCP, but I see it a bit like the Doctor Whoniverse: it’s flexible, without a real ‘canon’, but it doesn’t matter if the stories are good.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot of quality content available for free.
I’d just love some meta consistency within as an additional touch.
I think SCP has multiple timelines / total apocalypses
Perhaps a Great Mandela type SCP that is gaming all of them
I’ve wanted to tackle this issue myself.
The main point of SCP is there isn’t one single cannon. Is there a main one? Sure the foundation exists and they lock stuff up and study it. But it varies from writer to writer and article.
The site puts it best
“The idea that there is no canon is a bit silly at times. It’s not that we don’t have any — It’s that we have a multitude which touch, cross, and dip into each other. It’s up to you, as the reader, to decide what you believe and what you embrace as the heart of the universe.
That doesn’t mean, though, that authors lack intent or design, and collaboration is the heart of innovation.”
