Call of Mimiteh

I'm a huge fan of both H.P. Lovecraft and MLP: FiM. I'm not sure that excuses this story, but hopefully it at least explains why it exists. Part of my inspiration was the awesome H.P. Hoofcraft "book covers" done by Lilytrader on deviantART. They're beautiful and funny in their own right and they made me think a lot about how the FiM characters align to some of Lovecraft's works.

The Call of Mimiteh is based on the H.P. Lovecraft short story the Call of Cthulhu. I've changed all the actors to ponies (or other creatures native to the setting) and moved the story to a pony inspired world. There are some places and other details I had to fill in because the original story is a bit of a name-dropping, globe-trotting epic.

I've also swapped the genders in the story, partly because "mare" subs much more easily for "man" and partly because one of the things I like about FiM is it lets female characters have adventures. Lovecraft lived in a different era, so I understand why his story is filled with men. I live today and I don't see why I shouldn't enjoy the story in a different way. The gender swapping is a far smaller change than filling it with magical talking horses anyhow. ;)
