(no subject)
So in my quest to read through as much of my collection of ebooks as possible (I maybe have an addiction to ebooks and get more well before I've finished reading the ones I already have, similar to my addiction to dead-tree books but worse because ebooks cost less if you're doing it right) I have hit the Complete Works Of HP Lovecraft. Which I'd been putting off, because I tend to bounce off Lovecraft's writing style and because, you know, he was a massive racist, but which had stayed on my reading list because I like the Cthulu mythos enough that I feel like I should read the source material.
All of the above is still true, I've been working on this book for over a month and I'm only ~70% through it, haha I make bad choices. There are glimmers of awesomeness and the Cthulu mythos is still fascinating but oh man Lovecraft cannot write engaging fiction to save his life.
Anyway, the point of this post is that having read The Dunwich Horror properly now, I'm reminded that according to certain extracanonical sources Andromeda's Harper is originally from Dunwich, and yet as far as I'm aware no one has ever written fic where he was raised in the cult of Yog-Sothoth or is even distantly descended from the Elder Gods and why is this not the case.
I know, I know, ~be the change~ but we all know I can't write plot.
