Bizzarophobia: A Few Weird Phobias to Exist| Entries+Results P.26 - Page 10

nyctophobia

Are you afraid of the dark?

If the answer is yes, you might have nyctophobia, the abnormal fear of night or darkness. Derived from the Greek nýx for “night” and phobia meaning “fear,” nyctophobia is the perfect word for anyone who hides under the covers once the lights go out.

That's a good idea 😆

Can participants write on made-up phobias, or they have to be real ones?

The only made up one allowed is Shreyagamephobia. The intense fear of me and my games. I WILL CHOP FINGERS!!!

FYI I am joking. No made up phobias allowed.

I think that this contest should be focussed on stories about debilitating anxiety, like agoraphobia, claustrophobia etc. only.

Stories about systemic prejudices like xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia etc. shouldn't be accepted.

Also "hydrophobia" as a synonym of rabies shouldn't be accepted.

This is our decision. We are encouraging creativity, not limiting it.

Feel free to write stories about these phobias if you wish, but we are not going to put any such limits.

I accept your challenge. I have sent in two more stories.

It is a lovely concept, not sure if I'm talented enough to write about it though. Let's see. I'll sit on the fence for now and look forward to reading the entries from the gifted ones, but if I think of something, will surely love to participate :)

I know you are very talented, you can do it. And this is supposed to be challenging. Do give it a try if you can.🤗

Hey, I just had a question about posting my submissions.

I didn’t post my submissions of the last microtale contest, but i noticed people either posting them individually or compiling them in the FF section and the WC forum. I was wondering if i do send in my entries for this contest, what would be more preferred? Shall i compile or post individually?

I think I'm the only author who posted ten-word stories as individual books in the Fan Fiction section. It's better organized when each story gets its own tags: genres, forum entities, characters and themes. And the Graphicers get to do what they love by creating gorgeous covers for more books.

If you don't want a cover for each story, you can make one book with individual stories as chapters. That will allow readers to comment on the substance of each story separately.

The contest is open for another ten days, after which we're supposed to wait for judging and announcing results before publishing. You have plenty of time to decide how you would like to publish.
