First solo article in a long while. I think it's OK as it is; let's hope it doesn't get one-starred to oblivion.

Crit forum is here. Special thanks to antdem0n, BetterMyButter, Proto, TTPY and Red for giving me crit and make this come to fruition.

First image of the room itself was taken by me inside of a shopping mall in my city. Original photo has been altered to make it fit with the article.

Second image of the closet is from here. It was altered to black out the paper taped onto the door. The original photograph was taken by Famartin on Wikimedia.

Let me know what you think and if there are any changes you'd like to see implemented!

very zesty, mwah

edit: article a day day 2: RPC-205 by snoopa/thatowldude

i think this article a pretty fun example of a neutralized anomaly, and its really harks back to older SCP articles with how weird it is, with little explanation. Not everything needs a backstory!

the containment protocols are also very straightforward- nothing fancy, and with just the right amount of detail.

with the description and interview, it's just WEIRD. i love it. its an anomaly! 5 stars

I'm not going to type some long-winded review. I don't have any problems with this article SPAG wise, but maybe I went in with the wrong expectations but this article left me, wanting.

It starts off strong I think, janitors closet opens up to an impossible large room, wherein the room has strange properties as if certain physics didn't "load" correctly. People disappear when the door closes, okay let's see where this goes..

Nowhere, it goes nowhere, much like our resident Janitor in this article. It's a little, underwhelming in that regard. Again, maybe I went in with the wrong expectations, but I was expecting there to be a little more, perhaps an explanation for why that room specifically, or perhaps if we're going off the "loading…" idea as the title suggests, multiple locations using this room as a sort of "default" error room in case the proper room doesn't load?

The article just sort of abruptly ends. I don't know if this was for a particular reason or not, I can excuse it if it was for a contest or something but under normal circumstances I'd say this article sort of blue balls the reader, all this interesting setup with no payoff.

Currently, 3/5, I'd give a 3.5 if I could because I did enjoy what was there, but all these interesting ideas and nothing to tie them all together in the end. Sad!
