In general the reason I chose a "distant" number, rather than choosing an available number and writing up an actual SCP entry, was that an SCP entry would have been significantly less entertaining than the story and/or largely redundant in light of the story

Telling a story through the highly constrained format of the Special Containment Procedures template is not at all easy. Many people use the "escape hatch" of interviews and testing logs to try to get back to something more like a conventional narrative

Just the constraint of putting containment procedures first, description second is tough to deal with. Those procedures, if stated directly, often give away the "ending". They're the first thing the reader reads but they're difficult to bend into the shape of a good hook

Replying to @qntm
tbh I tend to skip containment procedures as they're - perhaps counterintuitively - the least important part of SCPs

Kind of demonstrates the point that the containment procedures are rarely a good hook. But anyway there's not a whole lot a writer can do about a reader who doesn't read the words in order
