I'm convinced that lovecraft's greatest success was somehow convincing other writers he knew to write in his universe instead of pursuing their own ideas

How the fuck did he even manage something like that?

people are attracted to Lovecraft because he had potent ideas

Fanfiction is one thing, but lovecraft did it before he even made it big, without a medium to circulate stories besides publication, and with fellow accomplished writers joining in

Lovecraft used to write for magazines like weird tails and he would attend writers workshops, he became an amateur journalist for a time. He met his big titty jewish mommy gf at a workshop.

He became friends with lots of different writers when he moved to new york.
