I tried writing a question and I wanted to see how I can improve it. I'm not really sure if the material I put in the question is good or if the length is appropriate, so if you guys could help me improve the question that would be nice. Thanks

He is supposedly trapped under the sea in his house at R’lyeh sleeping. FTP name this Old One who will rise from the sea when the stars are right.

Re: How is my Question?
Your giveaway is okay, but I think the easiest phrase there is "Old One." I might change it to "FTP, name this Old One appearing in "At the Mountains of Madness" and other Lovecraft works."

It seems a little short, and "water deity" seems like a bit easy for the beginning of the question.
But I like it, Lovecraft never comes up.

Is there a guideline for writing questions anywhere?
