I would recommend joining the Fear Mythos forum here: http://theonlythingtofear.b1.jcink.com/

As for your question: generally, we recommend starting out writing established Fears and then, once you become more experienced in writing in the Fear Mythos, you can create new Fears. Creating new Fears is...well, if you want to create a Fear that other writers actually use, it's harder than just thinking up a scary monster. That's why we recommend writing the current Fears first - that way, you can an idea for how to write horror, as well as how different stories can be done in the Mythos.
