I Can Has Mini-Shoggoth? by GoblinGirl on 2011-01-15 02:53:00 UTC Reply

OK...
So there are mini-balrogs and such. Are there mini-shoggoths? As in, if someone spelled Asenath as Asanath, would there be a mini-shoggoth, and can I keep it?

The only real problem would be making certain that the names are actually being misspelled every time. Great Clooloo's name, for example, can be written as: Tulu, Clulu, Cthulu, Cthullu, C'thulhu, Cighulu, Cathulu, C'thlu, Kathulu, Kutulu, Kthulhu, Q’thulu, K'tulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Kutunluu, Ktulu, Cuitiliú, Thu Thu, or Cthulu. Well, that was exhausting.

... he pleased me, but he drove me to insanity. Shoggoth went tekeli-li~

Sorry, just had to do that.

Now good luck finding a decent piece of Lovecraft badfic. *thumbs up*

Indeed, especially when most writers of Lovecraft fanfic are actually half-way literate.
However I did once find a NylarlathotepXAzatoth story. It was the oddest thing I've ever read.

The images there are more maddening than ANYTHING Lovecraft ever wrote.

I Just Lost SAN by GoblinGirl on 2011-01-16 16:49:00 UTC Reply

I did. That fic disturbed me...
Does "Azatoth" count as a mini or does it have to be in an actual fic?

Damn it.
If anyone needs me, I'll be abasing myself in front of the Black Throne.
Ia! Ia! Azathoth! The Ultimate Chaos!

Mini Star Spawn would be more fun. Cthulhu but only a foot tall, in my (slightly warped) book, that's just adorable.
Or a Mini Yog-Sothoth? That would be good. All the power of an Eldritch Abomination, but in a more you can carry around!

I knew there was a reason I wasn't unsubscribed from this board.

is check the wiki page re: Minis. If there's no mini specified for a particular fandom, then the general consensus of the Board is that the first person to do a mission and find a mini for that fandom gets to decide what animal the mini is.
