I just I'd throw these links up; they've helped me find some interesting stuff in the past and it might give some ideas to anyone attempting to write their own stories. The website in general is just awesome, so check it out.

If I remember correctly, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AndIMustScream has a few petrifications in it mainly due to the victims being fully conscious and unable to move.
