>>25429283Yes, of course.
>>25429283I imagine writing stories in a shared universe you created with your pulp fiction slop buddies must have been a lot of fun for them.
>>25429283People think of him as this autistic antisocial freak but in fact he was very gregarious in his way. It's just he did most of his social interaction via the internet (which meant letters since the internet wasn't invented).He collaborated with about half-a-dozen other writers, some of them many times.
>>25429283>friends?
>>25429283>Tsathoggua, an ancient hyperborean god chronicled by the Atlantean High-Priest Klarkash-ton.As someone who's been reading Clark Ashton Smith a lot lately, this ripped me straight out of the story.
>>25429479You don't know about the Lovecraft circle? Lovecraft was friends with a bunch of other writers, including Robert E. Howard. They'd sometimes do collaborations.
>>25429301Who?
>>25429805I am referring to myself, in the context of OP's hypothetical.

>>25429822Henry Fielding.
>>25429283Yeah. Love my friends.
>>25429283he was basically a wattpad writer before wattpad. i still like his writings though
>>25429882Only wokescolds & tasteless faggots who can't deal with his ever so slightly antiquated prose hate him.
>>25429479this nigga was half in love with Clark Ashton Smith and was constantly building up that borderline depressive when his publishers were bitching about his work. yeah HPL had frens.
>>25430911People will call him racist but they can't tell you why.Or people will look at The Street and screech about how it's about 'em darkies (it isn't).
