Now for the actual SCPs! I have a lot of these pre-written already, so this might be a bit of spam at first, but there's thousands of these, so "a lot" is relative. Batches of 20 seems like a decent compromise between scary long posts and spam.
002: A literal living room. Still holds up, surprisingly for being #2. I really like the simplicity of this one. +1
003: Motherboard that uh...grows? And is a brittle star? You can really feel the Cthulhu fever of the late 2000s in this one. It's too cluttered in concept IMO but I like the final log. +0
004: Some fucked up doors and keys. This is just all over the place. There's like...two good ideas and then a bunch of suspension-of-disbelief-breaking stuff. Nah. -1
005: A "skeleton key," SCP style. I love how obvious and simple this one is, but with a quirky little twist. It's the exact right thing to be an early SCP. +1
006: The fountain of youth, also SCP style. Similarly "simple, obvious idea for an early SCP" but this one is less fun. SCPs that are kept double-secret always feel like they're trying way too hard. Like, we're already here reading it, you don't have to put it under even more layers. Series 1 does this a lot, probably because people thought it was cool and creepy to make people feel like they were accessing something forbidden. I remember it scared me when I was a stupid baby teen who didn't quite grasp what on the site was real and fiction. -0
007: It's a guy...with a miniature planet in his abdomen. Series 1 humanoids are so hit or miss. Mostly miss. This one is boring. It mostly just focuses on how smart the guy is. Why should I care about that when he's got a planet in him? -1
008: A pretty straightforward "zombie virus." This one was really cool to me as a teenager fascinated by prion diseases. It's also an interesting time capsule of the pop culture zombie mania of the time. It could be almost charming if not for the shoehorned-in note about SCP-500. Sigh. Incorporating random other SCPs is a bit of a trademark of Series 1, and some are more jarring than others. +0
009: Red water with reversed states of matter (solid when it's warm, gas when it's cold). Cool concept, clunky execution, bad exploration log. At least the new image is better than the old one was...I remember being amused by the Photoshop job on the old one even as a teenager who couldn't tell an edited image from a real one half the time. -0
010: Mind control collars for slaves, I guess. Why are the slave collars inexplicably Russian? -1
011: A Civil War memorial statue that's alive. I remember this one being funnier than it is. I can only guess it had some kind of editing war long ago, or my sense of humor when I was 13 was even worse than it is now. Also, someone bonk this thing for being heterosexual. -0
012: An unfinished musical score that makes people go insane trying to complete it. It may be short, but it's a classic. It's both scary and hilarious, because the music the people go insane to write is complete garbage. +1
013: Cigarette that gives you dysphoria. I'm pretty neutral on this one: it's decent, especially for a Series 1 article involving a woman in any form. The new image is cool. +1
014: A guy who had a delusion that turned out to be real. Surprisingly well-written for a Series 1 article about a mentally ill person, honestly. Series 1 humanoids are already a very mixed bag, and thankfully this is one of the better ones. +1
015: A bunch of pipes made out of stuff pipes aren't usually made of. I always hope this one's going to be more interesting than it is. It's not really anything. I am not reading that linked tale, sorry. -0
016: A disease that makes you bleed a lot, but if you're in a life-threatening crisis, it makes you mutate in ways that might help you survive it. I like it more than 008 and the testing log is interesting. I liked it more as a teenager, but it holds up better than I expected. +1
017: Shadow that eats things that cast shadows. I could've sworn this one once had a testing log. Maybe it didn't. either way, it's missing something. Maybe if it just targeted the shadows themselves and wasn't a complete murder monster, it'd be more interesting. -0
018: A super bouncy Super Ball. I love this ball so much. Sadly the entire article is ruined by the addition of the stupid documents. The concept of a bouncy ball that bounces at 200% efficiency is so funny and really does require containment. Literally just cut it down to the procedures and description and it'd be perfect. -0
019: A Greek vase that's full of little violent creatures. Sorry I can't really focus on this one because the image they use for the creature is a really blurry picture of a hairless kitten and it's really funny. The article is fine. +0
020: Mold you can only see in photos, and also it makes people crazy and violent because it takes over their minds to spread the mold further or something I guess. Series 1 articles really like to incinerate things and people and entire towns. It's not the worst S1 gets but it's not the best either. +0
