2004-04-24 [chelekat]: right, so just write about a phobia/phobic person...right right...

2004-04-28 [mywolfalways]: Is there a deadline?

2004-04-28 [Augury]: not yet.

2004-04-28 [mywolfalways]: Okay. 

2004-05-02 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: this sounds like fun... hey okay so only phobias from that page?

2004-05-02 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: wow thats a huge list...

2004-05-02 [mywolfalways]: That's not a full list either. That's the scary part. I've heard there's actually a dictionary or something you can buy with all the phobias.

2004-05-08 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol these are enough to get some ideas i think

2004-05-23 [Itsme2]: Sooo....what form is it supposed to be written in?

2004-05-29 [Augury]: it's supposed to be written as a short story.

2004-05-29 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: kay... still gotta start this. gonna go through the list later tis raining and weekend... i have time...

2004-05-30 [Mitsune]: the story I'm writing is more like a journal entry... is that okay?

2004-05-30 [mywolfalways]: My entry is in!

2004-05-30 [Linderel]: I'll hop in to this one too. While I will be very busy writing characters today and the next two days, and then be absent for over a week, I definitely have to participate in this. Hmm... I looked at that list and it was huge, I bet I'll have a hard time choosing. :P

2004-05-30 [Linderel]: May I choose more than just one phobia?

2004-05-30 [Augury]: i guess.

2004-05-31 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: hey id say yes, why cant a person have more than one?

2004-05-31 [mywolfalways]: Hmm...good question. I'd say it'd be okay if they go hand in hand...like...rain with water. Something like that, you know?

2004-05-31 [Augury]: yeah. not like, "phobia of indoors plus phobia of outdoors."

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: that would be cruel. where would that poor person be?

2004-06-01 [thestranger]: outerspace in a spacesuit?

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol well thats kinda both the same time right?

2004-06-01 [Augury]: yeah. sad sad.

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: that person would probably commit suicide.

2004-06-01 [Augury]: i bet.

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: even worse than some things i heard off

2004-06-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: ...I would. XD

2004-06-01 [Augury]: definitely.

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: yeah. id never commit suicide but if i had that phobia id consider it. i have a phobia of suicide though

2004-06-01 [Augury]: oh. i've got a phobia of chocolate not existing.

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: phobia of chocolate? omg! i couldnt survive!

2004-06-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: I have arachibutyrophobia. I think that's how you spell it.

2004-06-01 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: which one was that again? i remember seeing it in the list but i forgot what it was

2004-06-01 [thestranger]: chocolate would drive me insane... I'm afraid of tornados whats that?

2004-06-01 [Augury]: phobia of the absence of chocolate. silly.

2004-06-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: phobia of peanut butter being stuck to the roof of your mouth.

2004-06-01 [thestranger]: No i meant whats the fear of tornados... is there one?

2004-06-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: talking to katraka.

2004-06-01 [thestranger]: I was talking to Augury lol so confusing

2004-06-01 [Jeesum Crowe]: lol I have a phobia of people talking to me in an awkward conversation...

2004-06-01 [mywolfalways]: For a phobia, you basically just put the latin word in front of phobia and you have it.

2004-06-02 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol augury thats a good one. i have it. not only chocolate though

2004-06-03 [Augury]: *hits head on wall* ahhh, this is so confusing. and where are everyones entries???

2004-06-03 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol im still working on mine. i have an idea, but i didnt start writing yet

2004-06-03 [mywolfalways]: There's only one entry up there so far. Everybody else is still working on theirs.

2004-06-03 [chelekat]: eh, finally, I came up with an idea...mine should be going up soon...

2004-06-04 [Augury]: k'yo. can't wait.

2004-06-06 [Kiddalee]: YaY! I'm gonna work for this one.

2004-06-07 [chelekat]: so, eh, can you have more than one phobia/person w/ a phobia in a story?...

2004-06-07 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: that question came up before, and as far as i remember the answer was yes

2004-06-07 [chelekat]: okay, good...I thought it did, but my memory has a tendency of forgetting things I need to know...

2004-06-09 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol sounds familiar. gonna start this as soon as i started and finished prompt writing 3 and prompt twist. theyre due 13th and with that priority right now

2004-06-09 [chelekat]: yeah, same here...I'm finished with my entry for prompt twist, even though now it's turned into a full-blown story...bleh...I still don't have an idea for prompt writing three though...

2004-06-09 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: i kinda have an idea for prompt twist and am still thinking about pw3. hmm... can only be days... well i have maths classes. that has to work. and spares. and lunch breaks. and... well u get the picture

2004-06-09 [chelekat]: yesh, I do...busy busy...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol i always am. i should really quit joining every single writing contest. the only ones i didnt join of all the ones on here during the last month are the scifi ones... i hate scifis... well anyways no i really g2g start this.

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: lol, me too...but I ish a major procrastinator...

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: dang, I'm having problems writing my story...just can't get it even remotely the way I want it to be...bleh...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: lol sounds familiar... oh damn i wanted to go... oh well. gotta print something for [bahkii]s birthday surprise tomorrow morning first.

2004-06-11 [mywolfalways]: This was a bit hard to write. When I got it going I enjoyed it though.

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: yeah, that usually happens with me too...I'm just having particular difficulties with this story...I'm trying to start it so I won't have to spend so much time with detail at the beginning like a few of my other entries...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: yeah... well personally, i like to put a lot of detail all throughout the story but only develop the storyline while im writing. at least about 90% of the time.

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: lol, me too...whenever I try to really get in depth with planning the storyline a head of time, I always just loose interest...but my problem with detail is I go way overboard...probably because I read too much terry brooks and writers like that...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: damn im still here... problem with the printiong again... and we need it for bahkiis birthday tomorrow... could take a while till i get to start writing here...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: yeah i know those authors do a lot of details. specially brooks, ur right there. love his demon series... tis amazing...

2004-06-11 [mywolfalways]: I love detail. I was so glad somebody did the Character Imagery Contest.

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: yeah.... oh crap i gotta finish my entry for that one

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: yeah, I read the first and the last one 'cause none of the libraries I go to have the middle...bleh...love the way he writes though...

2004-06-11 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: i read the third one in german, then came to canada and read the first two in english. now i am trying to find the third one in english cuz the translation into german sucked so badly

2004-06-11 [chelekat]: lol...

2004-06-19 [Kiddalee]: Erm... sorry if this question already came up, but when's the due date for this contest?

2004-06-20 [Augury]: there is no due date yet. don't ask why. i made the contest, and i don't even know why.

2004-07-09 [chaika]: I need help. I asked someone if this contest was over and they said no. They said to do something at the bottom of this page to sign up. I hate when people say that b/c it seems that whatever is on the bottom of someone's page isn't on the bottom of mine. How do I get into this?

2004-07-09 [Kiddalee]: [chaika] >> I assume you've figured it out?

2004-07-14 [chaika]: Yup. It was common sense...(not to mention a little reading on the guide thing)

2004-07-18 [PorcelainMachete]: Hi, I'm retarted. How do you put your story in wikipage form?

2004-07-18 [PorcelainMachete]: Oh think I got it. NeverminD

2004-07-31 [Kiddalee]: What is with all these people who think it's wrong to not know everything?

2004-07-31 [PorcelainMachete]: Well. It is probably better to know more than to know less, in any case.

2004-07-31 [chaika]: hope you're not asking me. I know nothing, and I like it. :)

2004-07-31 [-Shadow-Nell-]: There, it's done. *sighs happily* Man, this place is good for me. I never finished anything before.

2004-07-31 [PorcelainMachete]: Haha.

2004-07-31 [chaika]: I'm going to check out the competition later. Right now I'm going to snoop around elftown.

2004-07-31 [Augury]: coolness. i'm setting a due date now.

2004-07-31 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Awesome!

2004-07-31 [chelekat]: great...now I gots some motivation...

2004-08-01 [Kiddalee]: Ditto.

2004-08-01 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Um, are you going to move the Phobia Writing Contest into the deadline set area of Writing Contests?

2004-08-01 [Augury]: Yes.

2004-08-01 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Okilly-doekilly I will shut up now

2004-08-02 [Kiddalee]: Hmmm... Maybe I should actually write something now...

2004-08-02 [Augury]: maybe you could... ^.^

2004-08-02 [Linderel]: Agh. I've had a writer's block concerning prose for MONTHS now, I don't think I'll be able to write an entry...

2004-08-03 [-Shadow-Nell-]: I'm not an expert, but maybe you could try starting out with a light, funny story, about a phobia, perhaps, to get you on the general track. Say...Arachibutyrophobia? (fear of penutbutter sticking to the roof of your mouth) Then you could try serious. I don't know, just a suggetion.

2004-08-03 [mywolfalways]: Check by Writer's Companion. There's a page there with suggestions on how to break your block.

2004-08-03 [Kiddalee]: Oi! I'm there!

2004-08-03 [Augury]: hullo

2004-08-16 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Cool! A new story!

2004-08-17 [Augury]: way cool!

2004-08-23 [Sae]: It's a shame we can't do humour. I mean, I understand not wanting to have absolutely ridiculous entries full of random ducks and things, but what about satire or wit?

2004-08-23 [Augury]: feel free.

2004-08-23 [Sae]: Oh, thank you. ^_^

2004-08-23 [Augury]: no problem!

2004-08-24 [thestranger]: I was a little worried there, mine borders on humor

2004-08-24 [Augury]: hee, no big deal.

2004-08-24 [Sae]: Um, another thing: is it absolutely necessary to write the name of the phobia right off the bat? I think it would be better at the end of everyone's story, in large letters. Phobias are a sort of rare writing topic, and it might be that the story would be more interesting if the person didn't know exactly what's up until the end...

2004-08-24 [Sae]: I'm sorry, it seems like I'm trying to slink by every rule you write. ^^;

2004-08-24 [Augury]: *sigh* it's alright Sae, you may place your phobia wherever you'd like.

2004-08-24 [Augury]: -(.)_(.)-

2004-08-24 [Kiddalee]: Is that a frog?

2004-08-24 [Augury]: could be a frog, could be a glasses.

2004-08-24 [Kiddalee]: Okay. Because I've seen it used as something else that I wouldn't expect you to make.

2004-08-24 [Augury]: oh, what?

2004-08-24 [Sae]: -I- see an ickle fish that look very surprised.

2004-08-24 [Kiddalee]: Breasts.

2004-08-24 [Augury]: okay.... 0.0

2004-08-24 [Kiddalee]: Sorry.

2004-08-24 [Augury]: it's oklee.

2004-08-24 [Sae]: Breasts? If anything, it's a bra. Breasts don't have that line in between 'em.

2004-08-24 [Augury]: this is true

2004-08-24 [Kiddalee]: An underwire bra.

2004-09-08 [chaika]: Breasts have a line b/t them when you are wearing a tight shirt. ^^

2004-09-09 [-Shadow-Nell-]: This is really becoming a most facinating conversation.

2004-09-09 [Augury]: heh heh. I never wear tight shirts.

2004-09-09 [thestranger]: (.)=(.) those are breasts in a tight shirt... theres two lines betwen them

2004-09-09 [Augury]: i wish that shirt would have a bra under. ( )=( )

2004-09-09 [Sae]: It wouldn't look like that, it'd be like this: ( = )

2004-09-09 [Augury]: oh yeah. right you are.

2004-09-10 [thestranger]: ( = ) is much more modest :)

2004-09-10 [Augury]: yay, modest! by the way, 8 days til the due date. anybody else better be working on their writings.

2004-09-11 [chaika]: I must be deformed under a tight shirt cause I'm more like ( )( )

2004-09-11 [chaika]: ( I ) <--- looky...a butt crack. ^^

2004-09-11 [Augury]: *cackle* Naugtyface. Cool.

2004-09-14 [Kiddalee]: I have to duck out because there is so much to do in school...

2004-09-14 [Augury]: Oh... that's okay.

2004-09-18 [Linderel]: Deadline's today and I have managed to write...nothing. And since today I'm a little busy, I won't have time to write my entry. I have to cancel my participation...

2004-09-18 [Augury]: okay. ALRIGHT. JUDGEY TIMEY! i am the judgey. (gets to judging)

2004-09-19 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Great job everyone! That was awesome and so much fun!

2004-09-20 [mywolfalways]: Congratulations everybody!

2004-09-20 [chaika]: Wow...I actually placed. ^^ *celebrates* Anyone want to dance with me?

2004-09-21 [mywolfalways]: *dances with [chaika] in celebration of her victory*

2004-09-21 [chaika]: *twirls [mywolfalways] and does a side step* Must warn ya...I can't dance well. ^^

2004-09-21 [mywolfalways]: That's okay. I can't either. *laughs and twirls you around this time*

2004-09-21 [chaika]: ^^ Lets do the chicken dance. ^^

2004-09-21 [mywolfalways]: *puts on the music and starts doing that dance*

2004-09-21 [chaika]: *squeals with laughter* *hums along* This is fun. Anyone else want to join? lol. *Cheers [mywolfalways] on* ^^

2004-09-21 [thestranger]: I'll join! *starts dancing*

2004-09-22 [chaika]: *stares* You call that dancing? lol. Just kidding. ^^

2004-09-22 [thestranger]: Ah right. I forgot I had a tendency to scare people when I dance... I'll just DJ then lol.

2004-09-23 [chaika]: lol. You can DJ and dance at the same time. You have some good moves. *Watches [thestranger] with appreciation*
