That is a very interesting thought… hmmm. In a theoretical way, I think we are. We are the ones creating the backrooms universe and in that conceptual universe the levels, EVERYTHING is conceived by us and they are oblivious to it. However, if you look at it in a different way, none of the lore mentions us, and we're completely not involved. These people would probably have the idea that we're not creating the universe of the backrooms but documenting it and revealing what is already there. Whichever perspective you do take I think depends if you lean more into rationalism or empiricism. Personally, I can't decide and there are probably other perspectives I haven't though of. What about you?

Interesting thought. Speaking as a longtime SCP fan, there are a number of articles that revolve around the effects of the author (SCP-3309, SCP-3812, and SCP-3999 come to mind), to the point that the Personnel and Character Dossier lists authors under the "Pluripotent Entities" (i.e. gods) tab, as "SWN001 Entities". There are also examples of this on-site, with Deleted Level 14 serving a similar function here as SCP-3309 does for SCP.
Looking at those two articles side-by-side, it's interesting to see how the same basic concept can be done differently within two different settings. I'd be down to see what else could be done with relation to how the authors affect the Backrooms.

Lol, I'm working on this concept in a storyline.
Just a high schooler who thinks he is good at writing. Likes working on a lot of stuff, ranging from writing for the Backrooms Wiki, to providing critique, and reading. ~ Pen.

Nice. Can't wait to see it!
