Without Lovecraft, I wouldn't have been able to write [Promotional link deleted - MODERATOR] Cthulhu/My Little Pony fanfic.

(I think a lot of Lovecraft's "horrific" premises have been overwhelmed by modern science fiction. The concept of "those people, in that strange town... they're ... not quite human!" no longer has the impact it did almost a hundred years ago. The whole concept of sentient beings, indifferent or hostile to humanity but sharing space on the planet with us, is now background info for a whole genre of fiction.)
