Not only that but I sometimes discover that what I think is common knowledge is not so common at all. Then I start reading again to be able to properly explain what I mean.

Good observations, Tav and Bob! That's what the Guide is about - pooling what we know, or can learn, in a way that makes it accessible.

Are you still around on h2g2?
With this entry, would you be able to write an introduction to help readers who have never heard of HP Lovecraft know who he was. Just something to cover that he was an author famed for his horror/creepy science fiction work, when he lived and where, that sort of thing. A little bit of background information.
It also potentially seems unfair that the very first thing you tell us about him was that he was racist. He isn't famous and still influential today firstly because he was racist but because of his writing. And for well and truly crossing the genius/madness line. Yes, he was racist (fear, distrust or hatred accompanying difference of race) but was this a small part of his overall xenophobia (fear, distrust or hatred of that perceived to be different or strange)? I was under the impression that he lived an extremely isolated life and pretty much did his best to avoid all social contact with everyone, regardless of their race.

'The Unusual Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe' A87935179
He only lived for 40 years, so I kept it down to 1300 words.

Paigetheoracle - are you still actively engaged in writing this entry? And your other entries? Only you've not responded to anything this year?

It was Dmitri that made me aware of this and an article in Fortean Times. I loved the fantasy element of his stories, especially his landscapes.

I am not dead, just feel like it. Distracted by my publisher wanting me to write another of my language books, then a series of personal disasters on my wife's side of the family and then mine (still ongoing) but it didn't stop me sending in pre-written stories and artwork to the post. Currently we are in the middle of moving home (see this month's challenge for more details)
