Callum Phillpott was a writer of fiction, several versions of whom were known to write stories concerning Jenny Over-There and the 925th Universe.
History
Friend at Facebook
In one universe, on Octobr 5th, 2021, Phillpott posted a series of reports on eldritch events at Facebook HQ on Twitter, based on information attributed to a “definitely real” friend of theirs who supposedly worked at Facebook. (PROSE: What Went Down at Facebook)
Baffled by The Cosmology of Sherlock Holmes
In one reality, Phillpott added an “interesting note” on a particular part of one of their story, relating how Arcbeatle Press “got their hands on an unseen Sherlock Holmes manuscript from, like, 1903” about a month after the author wrote the part about Jenny Over-There getting a call from Sherlock Holmes, only to be startled to see that the other half of the conversation apparently appeared in one of the stories in the book, complete with an appearance by the Man in Grey by name.
The writer was further baffled when, trying to calm down from an impending mental breakdown about their lack of originality, they “[did] what [they] normally [did] and listen to the music of the English 2-Tone revival band ‘The Specials’”, and, getting to the song Man at C&A, found that “the Man in Grey is there too”. Left questioning their reality, the writer started to wonder if they were psychic, if “this [was] a situation similar to the classic Morely Roberts story The Anticipator”, or if they could “sue Arcbeatle”. (PROSE: Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There: The Birthday Toaster: Notes)
Other references
When intervening in the 925th Universe to stop the Bunny Nullhare posing as Bonham, the meta-aware Legalmen Collective stated that they had “read this story up to the scene before [their] arrival, as well as all of the 925th Universe stories by the original author”, concluding that none of its copyrights were amiss. (PROSE: Who Laws the Lawyers?)
Behind the scenes
Though unnamed, the allusion to “the original author” in Who Laws the Lawyers? is evidently an allusion to Callum Phillpott, the author of the original Jenny Over-There: The Nine-Two-Five Universe stories to which Delilah H. Smith's tale appended itself.
| anyway, not to ruin the bit or anything, but: my authorial intent was not that there's "an in-universe Callum", they're just breaking the fourth wall. XD |
