Echoing what others have said, but:

Stop thinking "my take on X". Start thinking "X but better." X, except if it took into account Y instead of just ignoring it. X, but with some of the stylistic elements from Z. If it's Allan Quatermain plus Lovecraft, don't think you're just imitating Allan Quatermain except there's things that are squamous and rugose (although you could do that and it would probably sell pretty well) - think about what it would mean for Allan Quatermain to live in a Lovecraftian world, about the ways that those two things link up, about the deeper logic behind them. Then it's not just an AU where Quatermain punches out Cthulhu (again, I would read this), it's an original talk on the legacies of both.
