Ok,
How do writers(Like Mr. Biles and Mr. Davies, etc and so forth) get their
information about the various elder gods and such they use in their stories?
Is there an FAQ somewhere for just some quick information? I do know
Lovecraft wrote of Cthulu but not much else..Some stories are really hard to
grasp without this kind of information so I was wondering..
I've oft wondered why people don't search for this stuff themselves. How
hard can it be? A quick search in Yahoo under Lovecraft yielded a couple
of sites. The first one I tried that was listed as HP Lovecraft Archive

Aside from the Beastiary, the notes from his letters concerning the
Necronomicon, and a chronology, it also has a writing section that has the
text of some of his works. This should answer every point you raised.
Oh, and I recommend you actually read the stories first, before dipping
onto the other stuff.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed. "Tell me,"
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
