Here's a Couple of Original Stroy Ideas That I Had:

A "Cthulhu Mythos" style horror story set several million years in the future. Species other than humanity have evolved to sentience, and Humankind plays the role of the horrible eldritch monstrosities from an ancient aeon.

-------------------------

Ok, here's another idea that relates to the Cthulhu Mythos. A sequel to the events in the stories pickman's Model and The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath which explores the dark connection between controversial artist and practitioner of the dark arts Richard Upton Pickman, and the invention of tentacle porn

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft


He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster -Nietzsche

Alternately, have the visual display of the supernova in earth's sky be the trigger, not the actual explosion.

Ok... here's another one... not completely original, but:

"As Saint Gulik awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a furless ape..."

Just thought of another one:


A geneticist discovers that some of his colleagues have been recruited to work on a secret government project whose intent is to create a race of "Super Soldiers". Appalled by this development, the geneticist starts working in secret on a project of his own, using recombinant Bonobo DNA, (in conjunction with hybridization and chimerization) to create a race of "Super Hippies" to protest the Super Soldiers....

Well the idea was it was already exploded, but the equipment had only just been made to detect it had gone, in which case the main character might need to be some top guy at NASA or something.  The key event was going to be the sign of the supernova over the earth - the light passing through the solar system is the key to the rituals, what powers them to release the Old Ones from captivity.

So, anyway...


I guessing there's something that needs to be done to prevent the Old Ones from waking...  In true Dan Brown style, it needs to be completely banal, something so trite that you could probably even do it by accident.

In a bizarre twist of inexplicable events, George W. Bush and Barney Frank end up stranded on a deserted island in the South Pacific.  Will they be able to work together to find their way off the island?  Will the be able to put aside their partisan rhetoric to find common ground?  And don't look now, here come the natives with their Axes of Evil!!!!

Presumably there would be key components for such a ritual, some requiring exotic items (MacGuffin hunt) and it would have to be done in a certain time, in a certain place in exactly the right way.  Or else eldiritch things from the Mauve Zone will just eat all the cultists, or something.

Ah, so the Old Ones are defeated because pencils are made with graphite these days, not lead, so the right ingredients aren't present at the right moment or some shit like that; and the pyramid collapses in upon itself.

I've never read the original myself, but I suppose this spoof carried out well could make a very nice piece of Discordian literature.

It might be hard to pull it off with the same feel. It might also be a bad idea. Few people like to feel like they have been kicked in the stomach repeatedly for two hours.

I got the impression that in The Metamorphasis, the real horror was not that the guy became a bug, but how little that plot element changed anything.

If you want to know what this would look like as a novel instead of a short story, please read Will Self's Great Apes.
