I suppose near-photographic memory and the ability to convincingly grovel helped a bit...
Just a warning to those of you who get accepted, if you post an SCP on the main list and it's bad, they're all (myself included) going to be dicks to you... plus they HATE stupidity
"Don't be an annoying dumbass"
"We'd rather have good material than a piece of shit: period"
"Acting like an immature brat won't win you any favors."
All of which I agree with for the record. They won't hold it against you personally though, just your work if it sucks.
