I WOULD LOVE TOO..But I want down that road before with my Grim Reaper's Daughter tale (She is my REAL! alter ago. My true novel in the works) People blamed me for copying Discworld. No idea what it was(or read of it), till I was linked. I read it, to make sure WHAT NOT TO DO! Became a fan. And so upset that my Death is 100% Like Discworld's AND NO COPYING I swear on my life!..So I rather stay away from it, so people don't think I ripped him off..or end up doing something..mentally unknowing copying. You know some people read something store it away, and think it was their idea only too realize..They copyed a past thing they've read, without realizing it. Even if was said theme is in public domain..such as my dreamland idea..

I doubt you'd end up copying HPL's Dreamlands, they're very HPL, talking cats, tentacle monsters, ancient cities. That sort of thing. Besides, it's preposterous not to research into authors who've written on simmiliar subjects, even if you end up incorperating their idea's into your own work strong enough writing and story should make it stand on it's own.

As for you're Death being too much like the one from Discworld, as long as he isn't talking in capslocks I think you're fine. Am looking at wiki of Lovecraft's Dreamlands cycle and I love MAP idea. I did have an idea like this of my own..while there, I see some other nightmares crossover. As I see Drac not really a nightmare, he just chill..He has no beef with other things. Yet some warith boogieman thing comes attacking..

Drac sighing "..It comes and goes, as other beasts...." I see Rin draws out some attack beast to attack it back..and realizes. 'NOTE TO SELF...MUDD DRAWINGS ARE BAD!"  Then this odd messed up Mudd dog forever stalking around his estate in dreamworld.

Yes she finds out that if she draws things it comes real..BUt with her lack of paper and what not she had to use a stick and some mudd at the time..
