re·im·ag·ine
verb
past tense: reimagined; past participle: reimagined
reinterpret (an event, work of art, etc.) imaginatively; rethink.
On February 14, 2010, a new, very special tale came out, it was Revised Entry. This tale was the SCP-173 we all know and love, but longer and… different. The idea of the tale was to make another version of 173. And you know what? People loved it!
This tale came out more than 10 years ago, and now, authors of today are still making this type of "Reimagining" to those old articles. There are so many articles that a Hub for them is now possible! Isn't that neat?
What is a reimagined article: To put it simply, it's a remake of another work from the wiki. You liked the idea of an article, but what if something went differently? What if the anomaly now works differently? What if it's the same properties but a different anomaly? It's like a tribute-rewrite that won't replace the original article.
Check the multiple definitions of reimagination below for more info.
What isn't a reimagined article:
- Inspiration of another SCP is not necessarily a reimagination of it, it has to be somehow obvious what article it remakes. Using the same "character" from the original article without evident change isn't enough either.
- Reimagined only applies to articles, so reimagination of characters or SCP lore without a proper "original article" does not belong in this Hub. (and no, an author page doesn't count as an original article)
- Articles that change only a little part of the original article are not to be considered reimagined1. Conversely, an article that modifies a large part of the original article but is only a small section in the reinvented article can be considered reimagined to a certain level.
- A reimagined article that belongs in the "Sequel-Esque" section and is made by the same author as the original is not to be considered reimagined, since it would be considered a direct sequel/prequel.
- A reimagined article — especially SCP — is not an excuse for any behaviour of "I can do this better". The point of reimagining an article is not to do better than the original, it's to remake it your own way.
Remakes Articles
Definition: An article that takes the same basic idea of the original article but changes it. The story must be somewhat separated from the original article.
Sequel-esque Articles
Definition: Same article, but with something more. For example: the Foundation documents something new in the anomalous properties, the article is now changed by the setting of a Canon or the anomaly information is changed by the group of interests format. Prequels and such also work on this category.
Parodies Articles
Definition: Article takes a humorous version of the original article. The article must be tagged with joke.
