I'm enjoying THW, myself. It's grim as all hell, but there are some real consequences (above and beyond the nuking of several cities) to the world that HT is largely exploring. (As opposed to TWCE, which I think really is our best example of a series that really needed an outline and an editor.)

GWI! (note the exclamation point in the title) does sound like it has potential, and I do hope he ties it back to "Islands in the Sea"--that was set at about the begininng of Islam's Golden Age and could account for the reversal of fortunes.

As for the HPL--personally, I'd rather HT write like HT than try to imitate HPL, as I don't think it would work, particularly given the type of stories HT has told. TFS is more B-movie monster horror starring an HPL monster. 9DC is more Lovecraftian in its plot line (curious person researching stuff he should leave alone) but it isn't really a horror piece. My question for the new story: which half-remembered, thinly disguised rock musician will be the protagonist?
