The premise is simple: there are these monsters called "Fears," original creatures (with two exceptions taken from the public domain of creepypasta) that are, for lack of a better term, the embodiments of fears. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Hence the name.]] '''The Fear Mythos''' deals with blogs, video logs, creepypasta, and whatever else there exists that regard to these disturbing beings. No canon or continuity required; writers get complete freedom.
Line 12:
A current list of all current blogs can be found [http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/The_Blogs here] and vlogs [http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/The_Vlogs here], while a list of Fears (and descriptions) can be found [[The Fear Mythos/Characters|on the characters page]]. A blog dedicated to Fear-based creepypasta can be found [http://strangeandsecretfaces.blogspot.com/ here.] A Wiki has been made, and can be found [http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/The_Fear_Mythos_Wiki here].
