@bekanator--it can be vague or the person can have multiple disorders or they could even be faking one. Anything is possible. I am willing to accept stories based on the same illness even if they are different enough.

Alright hell, I'm back in. I'll keep hypochondria if it isn't taken yet. I haven't started writing it yet but I'll give a run down of a couple scenes/outline.
The protagonist is a germaphobe and is constantly diagnosing himself. At the recommendation of a friend he starts to try natural remedies and medicines. Psilocybin mushrooms are one of the medicines to help him with his hypochondria. The protagonist takes to the mushrooms and starts to trip all of the time. He starts to go straight to do the dealer when his friend thinks he is abusing them. The protagonist is tripping every day, constantly increasing his dose to avoid tolerance. He stops eating and washing and eventually shows up to his dealer's house to rant about the mushrooms. The mushrooms are the answer to life. They are the answer to everything. He only needs mushrooms and if he keeps eating them he will see god. The dealer is freaked out and kicks him out. Seeing no other choice, the protagonist resorts to eating his own shit to get the Psilocybin into his body. Trying to help the taste, he microwaves and grills his shit, batters it in bread crumbs and covers it in cake frosting. He comes to the conclusion that germs are his friend and nothing can kill him because he isn't living or dead. He is evolved.

Um, Dakota, thats gross. I was hoping for something a little more subtle. Although eating poop is crazy, it all depends how you write it, I guess. All submissions are welcome. Moon, Chester and me will judge all the stories and pick the best ones, it will be like American Idol but with words...and talent.

Okay, avery is right, Dakota, that sounds terrible. Please think of something else. We were just having the shock value talk in another thread and that might work for Laurence's antho idea called Shock and Appall but for Psychosis I was trying to be more subtle and realistic.

Well than I wish you good luck with your project. Some criticism if you don't mind? A lot of these stories will be research based only from internet resources and that can make some of them lack realness and substance. You might want to cross-reference in the editing stage to avoid these mishaps. Web M.D. just doesn't cut it.

I'm pointing out a valid point. I wasn't criticizing anybody's stories or his project. An editor isn't going to want to see stories with facts that were lifted from Wikipedia. You guys don't have to take the advice if it's going to be a personal thing. Just my two cents. Good luck.

@Renee--yeah, I want to give you detailed feedback when I get home. I'm on my cell phone right now but I did read some of it, it's a good start.
@Jack--I plan to make sure they are medically accurate and not in a Human Centipede way. You forget, all I do in my spare time is read articles on mental illness, I'm working on my Masters in Psych so I have to write tedious 20 page papers with dozens of article references all the time. I'm hoping that contributers will read at least one academic based article on their illness. I guess I should state that. The reality of these diseases is far more interesting than anything we can make up sometimes.

I understand what you are saying Dakota, and I'm sure that it is a valid point, but I think it bears pointing out that none of us were trying to justify a hypocondriac eating a shit milkshake. I'm sad you're dropping out again, and I see where you are coming from, but I know that I'll be looking at the facts (or at least the relevant peer reviewed articles) when I'm doing my reviews and I'm pretty sure that alien has some background in mental health. I feel like we should be capable of doing the necesarry research.

@Dakota--It's a valid point--if, and only if, you had a reason to believe that is what was happening and/or that Danny was incapable of editing them from a professional stand point. Look, man, I like you, and from what I have seen, I like your writing style--I'm just pointing out that what happened here shows your age a little more than I think you'd like. It is obvious that Danny wants you to play ball here, but also has a "vision" for this antho. You just have to realize that sometimes you get an idea that is fucking perfect for where you want it to go, and sometimes you get an idea that would be better somewhere else.
@Danny--Thanks, I know it's a little weak, but I am hoping maybe a little feedback will help me out with the concept.

Which is what I am doing. Getting rejected is a part of the publishing field, I'm not offended, I wish you guys the best of luck. If my comments sound sarcastic or resentful than I apologize. If I questioned Danny's editing skills, I would have passed on his project in the first place.

Growing pains.
I actually started laughing, in an admirable way, after I read Dakota's synopsis.
Potty (party with a british accent) humour.
Having ingested more than my fair share of mushrooms (what can I say, I grew up in the vicinity of cows) I know they have the potential to bend minds in both wonderful and detrimental ways. And although they never compelled me to eat my own shit (ironically they do grow out of shit) I would guess they might be capable of causing one to do so (find proof, then warp it).
From personal experience I have seen that particular intoxicant bring people to their knees as they questioned their sanity. The concept for the story sounds like a compelling one and could be really interesting. It is all in the way the subject-matter is handled. And yes, the more research to support it the better. You will probably shit a milkshake when you discover real examples of some of the things people have done when their minds were shrooming, if you haven't already.
That being said, I would tend to agree with Renee that your tone, Dakota, comes off a bit rash and sophomoric (it takes one to know one). During the process of an endeavor like this and in the name of the work, everyone's mettle will be tested repeatedly. What a marvelous learning experience. In other words, get used to it, because if you think we're tough, just wait until you start approaching the rest of the world with your work. They probably wouldn't even bother to give you feedback, much less read your work in the first place. So give a little respect to your partners in crime.
I realize I am a nobody in the world of writing so my advice doesn't carry a whole hell of a lot of weight. I can only speak from past experience with other creative projects that I have been involved with. Any time a group of people work together toward a common goal, there will be differences in opinion and feelings will get hurt. So go cry in the bathroom for a bit and get back to it instead of throwing in the towel.
Be prepared to listen. Grow some ears. Some big ones. Absorb the knowledge of others whenever you can. For one it's free, and it sure beats trying to go it alone.
Who knows where this thing is going or what the end result will be. It's only the beginning and there's a long road ahead. But Dakota, I can promise you that if nothing else, if you stick with it you will learn a lot. You will grow as a writer, and from what I gather that seems to be what you are here for. And you won't have to pay a dime for it.
But you might have to be willing to pay attention.

Just want to reiterate about using the Workshop.
Please try to post your submissions there and begin seeking feedback unless you think they are ready to go. Even then it never hurts to post it for any last considerations.
We are going to need all the help we can get pre-editing. And I know Danny and Ryan and I will all be watching the Workshop for submissions so we can gain a communal or more crowdsourced perspective on the work.
At the moment I would not worry about a deadline so much as I would the quality of your submissions.
We are in the process of revising the guidelines a bit as new things develop.
If anyone can't afford the workshop, PM me and I will see about getting you enrolled.

Chester thanks for the post, I think...
I'm not going to participate. One, I did the leg work to get Richard Thomas on the other anthology so I feel ripped off. Two, I got rejected before I even submitted and rejected on the boards rather than through a PM. Not cool but oh well, it's nothing personal after all.
Anyway it doesn't matter now so I'd like to tell an interesting story since Chet touched base on it. I heard a story about a football player who had never done drugs before in his life until he ate a half q of mushies at a party. They locked him out of the house for crawling on his hands and knees screaming: FUCK ME IN THE ASS! over and over again. "We're all gay here, just fuck me in the ass!" I still don't know how someone can freak out that badly no matter how hard they are tripping but I guess it happens. Just a funny mushroom story.
Regarding eating shit, well there is a lot of shit fetish videos. Feature films. 2 girls, 1 cup is 3 minutes of a 2 hour video produced by a company that makes a lot of these videos. Also last month when I went on a mushroom binge myself with a friend, (we ate around a half ounce of some chronic ones) by the end of the two weeks we were talking about people rubbing shit on their face as cat whiskers. This prompted many conversations about shit among other things. What is this point of this? The last night we did them he almost microwaved his own shit because he was peeking so hard.
Is it an appropriate story for this anthology? I don't know. Do people eat shit? Yes, yes they do.

I don't know why coprophagia wouldn't be an interesting topic. It just has to be written in a style that makes the idea of eating shit not that far from reality - thinking magical realism here.
Somebody once told me a story about their grandmother. After having her first baby, the grandmother had an overwhelming urge to eat her baby's shit. They used the word 'overwhelming', so I naturally asked if the grandmother had given into these urges. They wouldn't answer. To me, that means yes.
Now, whether this was a form of pica, the body missing a nutrient and knowing by instinct that it was in the shit, or if it was just plain crazy, I have no idea. Lots of animals eat shit because they get nutrition from it (sometimes by eating the waste, they are able to get minerals that their bodies couldn't process without first having another animal break down the parts).
