... I can't tell if you're being serious or not.  o.o  Dratted text medium.

Hooray!  I'll have my tentacles polished just for the occasion!

It is a sad truth of nya consumer-driven entity.

I know that's supposed to be 'any consumer driven entity' but the typo brings it closer to revealing the true nature of the beast, Nyarlathotep.

I've read up on it and it's still nebulous at best and it has me worried--what do you guys think might happen?  I know that HPL's writing is public domain and the podcast uses music of its own or with permission, but if this sort of thing ends up being at the discretion of businesses or whatnot that, like as not, haven't got all the data, what's to stop someone with a bug up his arse from cracking down on absolutely everything that inhabits the kind of grey area that makes up about 90% of the internet, like podcasts?

Just... really puzzled, here.

Really, just type in the name of anything Lovecraftian into YouTube and you'll find tonnes of stuff like this.

Personally, I like the history of the house's tenants thing and how it was traced back to Huguenots.  Has a real paranormal investigator kind of flair to it that at least I like, if no-one else does.  ^^;

As to what I don't want left out... hm.  I'll have to read the story again but I get the feeling most adapters would want to go from the death of the uncle to the destruction of what was beneath the house without bothering with the bit inbetween, but I think it should be left in--it gives an emotional depth to the character that you usually don't see in Lovecraft.  They're either drily academic or stricken with fear and that's pretty much it.

Cats in the Walls.  The meowing.  THE MEOWING...

That aside, I was always saddened that Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath was such a sausage-fest.  If not switching the gender of the main character (though I can't think of a feminine equivalent of the name 'Randolph'), I think an adaptation could at least have a few females here and there.  I once played with the idea of an adaptation having a love interest for Carter... then I laid down and the thought went away.

XD  Clearly I'm not.  I'd better get crackin on those books once I get 'em in the post.  Who knew Dunwich apparently sent their mail via Australia?

moar intern plox.

Could we get that in English, please?

I think folks liked 'Shunned House' better because of the technological elements, which constantly seem to surprise people who think of HPL as some dude mentally stuck in the 1700s.

Also, 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward' seemed to do the same thing, as did 'The Call of Cthulhu.'  I can't tell you much of what happens in the present day in either of those stories (esp. CoC) but I sure can tell you all about the flashbacks and historical content.  I think it's maybe his time as a journalist showing through.  Possibly.

...

Another thought is that folks forget that some of his work wasn't at the final stage.  They were banged out and then put aside and then published either posthumously or at someone else's insistence.  Also, shut up, Firefox, 'else's' is totally a word.  :p

NICE.  I like it lots!  XD

Eh, speaking as a long-time fan I'd have to say I find the idea of merging the two characters to be implausible, nonsensical, and ripped from the archives of really really bad RP (Great, someone got me started on Dr Who--I've been known to fill page after page after page with rantings.  halp).  I personally think folks need to step away from the Master until they can get the stain of slashy subtext out of their head.

That being said, I would love to see a Lovecraftian spin put on the Sea Devils.  Someone already did that with Fenric (Hastur), The Great Intelligence (Yog-Sothoth), The Animus (Lloigor) and the Nestene Consciousness (Spawn of Shub-Niggurath), albeit in the semi-apocryphal New Adventures novels.  They also played with the typical [character] vs Cthulhu idea in a story that sounds as though it were plucked off of a fanfic site, involving, as it did, Sherlock Holmes as well as the Doctor.

Not that I'm above fanfic.  *looks at hard drive, and its half-dozen examples thereof.*

A compilation of the show for sale would be a great idea, as long as it's not too expensive.  I dunno how many people here are rolling in the dough to such an extent, but I know I'm not.  I wouldn't want something so cool to sit there outside my price range, mocking me.

Also, sell it in places other than iTunes.  Or, rather, other places as well as iTunes.  There is such thing as people who don't own iPods, scary but true.  [insert rant about proprietary software and bla bla fhtagn]

Also, also, please don't do anything like making certain episodes 'for subscribers only,' it'll only alienate the broke folks in the audience.

Also, also, also, do forgive my rambling, please.  And my overuse of 'also.'

I am quite fond of The Colour Out Of Space simply for the writing.  But I also favour The Shadow Out Of Time because of the Yithians.  And I also also very much like Beyond The Gates Of The Silver Key because it lays out multiple universe theory decades before Everett even thought of it.

Yes.  Though it's a Festival thing.  We strap them to our Byakhee.
