#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 8

It’s a bit of an odd phobia, but Veldandi is actually terrified of thunder.

While this makes it difficult for her to deal with Blitzers at times, it stems from an incident in her childhood where thunder from a nearby lightning strike damaged her ears.

Day 8 of #FantasyIndiesSpooktober

I haven't yet included any phobias for my main characters in my Oracle of Delphi series WIP, although it might be fun to have one or two Pythiai afraid of falling (the slopes of Parnassos are very steep).

Jynrahd fears water. Growing up in the desert, deep water was never an issue, but crossing the ocean to start a new life was somewhat traumatic. He cannot swim and favours heavy armour, so he knows he'd sink like a stone and prefers not to test it.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 8:

Brian has some pretty understandable worries about losing his physical or mental faculties, given his disease, but his fear of water? That one's brand new since he came to Eos. Almost drowning twice will do that to you, I guess.

One of my MCs, Barbara Culann, has a slight fear of thunder.

Which, I guess, is kind of funny in an ironic way since her flaw is her explosive temper.

8- #FantasyIndiesSpooktober- In Uncanny Encounters, mirrors are one of the only things that really freaks Gretchen out (hope to explore this more in a future novella)! The only other thing that scares her is the lake in her hometown!

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 8: MC Phobias. Sharrec has a very specialized phobia: He's afraid of remembering his past. Every time he starts to, he has a seizure. I know why, but he doesn't -- yet. #WritingCommunity

Day 8: Phobias

A few of those in the WIP fear things that may lurk among the trees as you leave the coast and travel inland. Others fear for their futures, seeing no way around present struggles.

Jokull is not afraid of dying but he's more concerned as to where it will happen.
Sulien doesn't realize it yet but he's afraid of getting old and being unable to continue playing hockey.

In Sold to the Dark Vampire Prince, Dani has a strong aversion to needles and blood, which is a challenge since she's forced to enter the blood auctions to save her sister.

Day 8

I haven't decided what I wanted to do with phobias for Desi yet. If I pick something big, it has to come into play at a crucial moment. She's not afraid of many things that people usually are, though.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober day 3 (tardy): Snippet Saturday

A short excerpt from my upcoming "The Town that Banished Death"

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober day 2 (tardy) spooky recs

Need to give a shoutout to Tale of the Wisconsin Werewolf! This book's why I started writing in the first place. I met the author online and we later became friends and even both participated in an indie horror anthology
Wouldn't be here without it

Day 8 - MC Phobias

Trick: his monstrously abusive guardian

Harker: being taken advantage of

Bryony: failure

Dorian: futility

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 8

You know, I really haven't given any of my characters phobias. Everyone's fears come from past experiences/traumas.

I don't have anyone who's just afraid of spiders or anything, but it's something I should think about.

In #S3, Rebecca is terrified of letting people see her as less than composed. She's not put together in her novel at all. In a more traditional phobia sense, she is terrified of spiders, drowning, and mold/dirt/rusty things and the illnesses those can cause.

Zel doesn't fear much, since he's already dead, but he does not like dealing with the gods (they can still affect his afterlife.)

8) MC Phobias

Renard doesn't have any phobias. His fears are perfectly reasonable.

I have a phobia of big moths. Can't stand them!
