As far as Kwan can remember, Lovecraft was a fantasy writer who only became popular after he died.

The book he wrote during his lifetime was summarized by his successor Dresser as the "Cthulhu Mythos" system, and Dressers later opened the copyright of the system to the world.

As a result, with the participation of a large number of successors and followers, the Cthulhu system gradually expanded its influence to the world, and profoundly influenced the field of modern novels, films, television, games and other cultural creations in the past decades.

Lovecraft, the creator of it, has been hailed as "the greatest writer of classical horror stories of the twentieth century".

And because Lovecraft's name is Lovecraft in English, literally translated into Chinese as "love craft", so he was called "love craft old man" by domestic Cthulhu lovers.

Seriously, Guan Li first learned about the SCP Foundation, and then learned about the Cthulhu Mythos from the Foundation.

In terms of the collective creation system, Cthulhu can be said to be the predecessor of the Foundation, but there is also a big stylistic gap between the two.

Perhaps it is because it is the same niche, the same unknown fear of the world that involves human beings, and the same complex worldview and a group of proper nouns......

All in all, in another world, Cthulhu and the Foundation are often compared or compared.

Meaningless questions such as "Who is stronger Cthulhu or the Foundation?", "Can the evil gods of Cthulhu be contained by the Foundation?", "What if Cthulhu were written into the Foundation?", and other meaningless questions are constantly raised.

Even if you reply with the helpless words of "comparing the combat power of different works, please directly pull the authors of the two sides out to fight", there is no way to stop more people from enthusiastically rubbing the two world systems together and comparing them, or making new fusion creations.

As a result, the lovers of both sides set a default rule called the "Laleier Agreement" - neither side can directly use the other's settings in the creation, let alone play with memes!

However, the Lalaye Protocol did not dampen the enthusiasm of some Foundation authors to write about Cthulhu.

If you can't write it directly, then adapt it yourself and write it later.

If you can't play the stalk directly, then play the stalk around the bush.

After all, the Foundation encourages all creative creations with ideas.

Even if it's nonsense, anti-human, and unconventional, as long as it's considered interesting and "meaningful" by the members of the Foundation, it can be retained.

- This is the Foundation's "up/down" voting mechanism.

Once any work is issued, it will be subject to the voting of all members, starting with 0 points, adding 1 point for each "up", and subtracting 1 point for each "down".

If the score is below minus 2 for a long time and there is no sign of recovery, the work will be deleted by the management.

So, as long as it's interesting enough, as long as it's not forced to play with memes, and as long as it makes the reader think that this Cthulhu element is creative, then the work will be retained.

427 and 582 are the product of this leakage from the Lalaye Agreement.

However, what Guan Li admires the most is Esther, who was able to find a name that is hard to remember from these two projects that do not match at all......

It's horrible!

There is always a sense of crisis that your bottom will be picked up by this person.

Well, it's not time to worry about this time.

The key now is –

How do you fool Esther?

Tell him that this person is just a character in the Foundation's worldview, and that he hasn't been blocked because of the backstory?

That doesn't explain why 427 is named after him!

What's more, there will be some other Foundation documents with Cthulhu elements added to them, and the masterpiece is SCP-2662-Cthulhu Rolling Rough!

All in all, in a word...... Guan Li found a bunch of reasons for himself to convince himself to do something.

No, it's not a mess.

It's just a natural solution.

The Foundation administrator said to himself.

"He's not a character in the Foundation series, he's a real person, a great writer. After a brief mutter, Guan Li typed this sentence.

The moment the enter key was struck, he seemed to see a butterfly flapping its wings lightly, and the invisible breath gathered a distant storm on the sea of culture in this world.

The system reacted immediately, and the reaction was not small, "Administrator, what do you want to do?!"

"It's just to promote Cthulhu by the way, the Foundation is my true love, you can rest assured......"

Guan Li thought that he was worried that he would lose sight of one or the other, and that he would forget about the Foundation with Cthulhu, so he hurriedly explained.

"It's not a problem, it's copyright! Our Foundation has a legal authorization to spread across time and space, but Cthulhu doesn't!"

The system is about to blow up, and it finally found a person who is familiar with the style and concept of the Foundation, has a clear goal when doing things, and gives unambiguous instructions, and the only drawback is the occasional administrator with a magical idea, if Guan Li is arrested by the Copyright Office for cross-time and space infringement......

God knows when you'll find the next one!

"The old man's book has long since expired, right?" Guan Li retorted.

The system's tone was cold, trying to erase his thoughts, "According to the Chrono Copyright Act, there is no limit to the term of protection of cultural works! Give up this idea! Do you want to be brainwashed into an anti-plagiarism fanatic and then be sent back to the original world?"

Infringements in the world will be dealt with by themselves according to the laws of the current world, and once it breaks through to the transcendental and trans-universe level, the Space-Time Copyright Office will decide everything!

Guan Li did not rush and threw out a crucial message, "But the copyright of the Cthulhu Mythos is open. ”

Yes, the copyright of the Cthulhu Mythos system is completely open, even more so than the SCP Foundation, which adheres to the CC license for Creative Commons.

There is no restriction on reprinting, no restriction on citation, no restriction on adaptation, and it doesn't matter at all if you use it to make a profitable project.

It is this radical openness that allows its elements to permeate thousands of cultural works.

"Open?" the system was stunned for a moment.

It's a Foundation system, and it's not very clear to Cthulhu.

But since Guan Li has said so......

The system pressed an administrator down, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the Copyright Office to check Cthulhu's information first." ”

Guan Li, who was ordered to be forbidden to do things, looked at the computer screen, and Esther had already sent further questions, still waiting for his response.

“……”

Well, let the system check it out first.

But then again, this space-time copyright office is a bit powerful.

To be able to make a system with advanced technology so fearful, even if it is in a world without brilliance, it does not dare to relax its vigilance in the slightest, and the deterrent power of the Copyright Office in the multiverse can be imagined.

I just don't know why such a super force has to stare at such a thing as cultural copyright.

The way in which infringers are dealt with is quite interesting.

- Brainwashed into an anti-plagiarism fanatic?

emmm slow!

Does this mean...... In case he wants to wear it back in the future, he only needs to deliberately infringe once?

At the same time, let the system report with real names, and there is no hidden danger that your infringement will be ignored.

Guan Li felt that he was really witty.
