I admire HP's writing style but I think using his verbal style would
make the story's prose a bit too dense. I like that the story keeps a
fairly quick, action pacing. (And HP did have stories more like that
too; I'm thinking of the Dreamlands tales here).

I like those a lot.
 

Think about Lovecraft stories set in Antarctica :)

The ones set in Australia (i.e., Leng) were worse, weren't they? 

Yes, but nothing important to regular Evangelion continuity happened in
Australia :)
 

Oh, a last question: what happened to the penguin while Misato's
apartment was under siege by spiders? Was he hiding in the fridge?

Penpen hid in the fridge.  I had originally planned to have a longer
segment where they found him being hunted by them, but then decided to
simplify the ending.
