Lovecraft only wrote a short fragment of Azathoth. Has anyone (fairly well-known) tried to write the whole story in Lovecraft's style?

Would this not go against Lovecraft's copyrights?– apoorv020May 2, 2011 at 20:03

2@apoorv: According to my Google Fu, Azathoth was written 1922 and is in the public domain, since the Copyright Term Extension Act only affects works from 1923 and onwards. (In the US.)– user1320May 2, 2011 at 20:11

2As this is interested in work by authors other than HPL, I've added a new tag which seems appropriate.– AncientSwordRage ♦Jan 21, 2012 at 11:29

The short answer is no. We spent many hours and emailed a large number of people to check on this several years ago when we were doing research for a short movie/story a friend of ours had written.
But there are many writers who have used this creature in their writings, I guess you have already read the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azathoth
