All this talk of burning books has me passing into a dainty lady swoon. Or perhaps my corsets are laced too tightly again.

@Chase Gamwell ok, you convinced me, I'me gona look at the X-Wing trillogy, partly because I love the lego x-wing, and my boy might get into them if I can wrench him away from minecraft.
No one got my 'game of thongs' joke?
Well I'm not wearing a corset and I hardly ever swoon, but I get cold chills reading about books burnings. Crazy ass people...All this talk of burning books has me passing into a dainty lady swoon. Or perhaps my corsets are laced too tightly again.
Huh. You know what — H.P. Lovecraft in all his kitschy, unimaginably-nightmarishly-mind-bending verbosity languored in obscurity until a good thirty years after his death, as well.I am aware of that. I was only referencing a historical fact. I'm sure you're also aware that Tolkien came to hate his fanship, as he had hippies calling him long distance and waking him un in the middle of the night to tell him what they thought about the "weed".
My point had been, yes, Tolkien broke the hell out of the rules, and now we stand in awe of the success of his work despite that, but at the time, it was drop-kicked into bargain bins and largely forgotten about for a generation.

Perhaps it says more about the patient insistence of the insidious tendrils of the Other Gods, for wending into the minds of mere mortals.I am not sure that says a great deal about the Human Race.
YOU'RE racist!More just about trends and tastes, I think? And the mercurial nature of the zeitgeist?
After all, it took that long for a sort of cultural momentum to build into fanship around these guys, forgiving Tolkien's "broken rules (really just glaring mistakes made by a rank amateur) and Lovecraft's reams of purple prose and horrid, horrid arrogance and racism for the genius ideas hidden within.
Ever heard "cute" used in the context of Cthulhu?
Awww.... Wga nagl....Did someone say cute?
Hmm? Oh — sorry.Okay the planet has left the race behind

So say we all?"One of us! One of us!"
Only one dragon, meself. Well, no, there's a few... but only cameos.
I have a nest of serpentine hatchlings, ready and waiting for my command! Hundreds of them!
How many liters of blood in them, I wonder...Ha! Dragons are nothing. I've got four billion mosquitoes, some bad-ass golden orb weaver spiders, and one cool cockroach.
