Huitloxopetl (short story)

Huitloxopetl was a round robin novella administered by the Nightscapes online magazine in 1998. It was contributed to by many authors, most of them members of the Esoteric Order of Dagon amateur press association (EODapa).
==Synopsis==
The story varied wildly, as is the way of round robins where short passages are contributed. Huitloxopetl is a Great Old One worshipped in Medieval Mexico as a god, but it and its fellow Old Ones are returning for a feast of blood. Sllytha, an alien entity from the dark planet Yaar-Kyth and a devout worshipper of the Elder Gods, possesses the form of a young woman called Susan and acts to help the human race against the threat of the Old Ones.
==Behind the Mythos==
This round robin story featured a lot of namechecking and syncretism- the attempt to reconcile different versions of entities and concepts from the Mythos into coherent wholes. Overall, it was a race against time story similar to an adventure from the Chaosium Call of Cthulhu RPG.
