In 2016, one winning example was They Don't Have Tentacles, about an artist specializing in illustrations of a Cthulhu {{Expy}} who finally sees her in his dreams, learns how her author failed to convey her, and becomes a new vessel for bringing her worship to our world. Brought upon quite literally in 2018 semifinalist's Eldritch and The Eldritch Neighbor.

* AlluringAnglerfish: Multiple stories over the years, recently including The Night Light, a short story where childhood fears seem to summon a gulper eel into a family home.
* AuthorAppeal: As the stories are all written by members of the Bogleech fandom, they tend to cover the same sorts of themes covered on the rest of his site, such as parasitism and sympathetic attitudes toward monsters.
* EldritchAbomination: Played straight and subverted multiple times every year. In 2016, one winning example was They Don't Have Tentacles, about an artist specialising in illustrations of a Cthulhu {{Expy}} who finally sees her in his dreams, learns how her author failed to convey her, and becomes a new vessel for bringing her worship to our world.
