Mixing symptoms 4

With WE approaching, Mixing symptoms also starts to brew.

Mixing symptom is an unofficial challenge run by me, Catoblepon, and involves writing conditions during World Ember based on random groups of symptoms that I'll make with all the symptoms people submit during November.

What is "Mixing Symptoms"?

Mixing symptoms is a WorldEmber event going on during the whole challenge. During it, I'll release some symptoms for conditions and you'll try write conditions for them!

The event makes its list based on symptoms that you, the reader, submit! To do so, you'll need to fill up a Google form. Please submit only one symptom per user unless I tell that there's a possibility to add more symptoms (this is to avoid having too many symptoms to make it overwhelming). You can submit a symptom even if you don't intend on participating on the event!

Once the time to submit symptoms is finished, I'll share the symptoms. This year it will be a bit different than last years. You, as the participant, will have to make a condition that has AT LEAST these 3 symptoms (feel free to create as many extra symptoms as you want!) and you can pick any of them!. You can make as many conditions as you want!

Submissions are open until the 3rd of January, when World Ember finishes.

Maybe a badge here? Who knows! Not me.

Rules

Articles must use the CONDITION template and have to be written during this World Ember (remember to reset dates of stubs!).

ONE symptom per person for the Google form.

Make sure to properly mark articles as NSFW if they are so and to add trigger and content warnings. (They are IMPORTANT, I will not discuss that).

There's no minimum nor maximum of words! This isn't a judged challenge.

Can be any language but if it is any other than English, Spanish, French, or Catalan, I will be relying in the google translator. I recommend writing it in English, so other people can read it easily.

You must use at least three symptoms but can add as many more as you want (I recommend adding the list to the author notes if you have changed their wording!).

AI writing is strictly prohibited, I will not discuss. About AI images, I'd rather if you didn't use them, but I won't do anything if you added it. I won't be judging the challenge but I will be reading all entries (tho it will take me a while) and leave a comment!

NO BIGOTRY. This is a lgtbq+ friendly place that will not accept any racism, fascism, homophobia, sexism, or similar. The world is already bad, let this be a safe space. I understand that conditions might target certain groups of people more than others, but that doesn't give you the right to be an asshole.

Where do I submit or see the prompts?

Submitting a condition it's easy: just leave a comment here with a link/articleblock once it's done!

The symptoms will be shown under this section, in a grid! Just wait until the 1st of December! If you want a reminder, make sure to follow the world and/or join my discord!
