Which Site Should I use for this Work?

I had this idea for a piece for the Wing three contest. However, the theme feels a bit "SCP-y" and I'm not sure if it would fit better on the other site. Here's the link to my sandbox( the only thing that it holds is that draft). The main reason I'm worried is because while (in universe) it was not written by someone with the Foundation, it is a sort of research paper, using some SCP jargon. While research papers do exist on this site, I would like to know what others think. If I don't get any replies, I'll assume it's fine and post it on the 13th.

Please Note: While this is not a post looking for writing feedback, you are more than welcome to give it.

I think it could fit better on this site if you reorient it to deal primarily with the Neverwere and other material already on the Wanderer's Library. I would also suggest expanding it; as it is it is a very barebones entry that would likely get downvoted for not developing its ideas in new and interesting ways and just seems to summarize existing material.

Also, on a conceptual level, I don't really like strict classification systems like this. I think it kills some of the joy and wonder that comes from the anomalous to take an incredibly broad phenomenon and divide it neatly into a set number of types of thing. And taxonomy like this is really the least interesting part of science anyway.

Thanks. I don't really have anything more to add to it at the moment, unfortuantly, so I'll probably let the concept rest¹ in my sandbox. I have a few more ideas on how I would shift it, but none ready for the contest.

Your second paragraph really shows that this, at least in the state that it is in, belongs on the SCP wiki. Personally, I kinda like reading on how things are defined and what any given thing would fall into, so I can see a bit of difference in taste here, but I can also see how classifying the anomalous would fall into the foundation, even if written by someone independent (as was my intent).

Thank you for the advice, and thanks for being willing to look at my amateurish writing.
