}}'''Callum Phillpott''' was a writer of fiction in at least [[Universe (A Lost Holmes Manuscript Discovered: The Cosmology of Sherlock Holmes)|one universe]], who wrote stores concerning [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] and the [[925th Universe]]. | |||
When intervening in the [[925th Universe]] to stop the [[Bunny Nullhare]] posing as [[Bonham (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|Bonham]], the [[meta-awareness|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? (short story)|Who Laws the Lawyers?]]'') | |||
In one reality, Phillpott added an “interesting note” on a particular part of [[Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There (in-universe)|one of their story]], relating how [[Arcbeatle Press (in-universe)|Arcbeatle Press]] “got their hands on an [[The Cosmology of Sherlock Holmes (in-universe)|unseen ''Sherlock Holmes'' manuscript from, like, 1903]]” about a month after the author wrote the part about [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] getting a call from [[Sherlock Holmes (Dawn 2218)|Sherlock Holmes]], only to be startled to see that the other half of the conversation apparently appeared in [[Dark Dealings (in-universe)|one of the stories]] in the book, complete with an appearance by [[the Man in Grey (925th Universe)|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 [[England|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 (novel)|Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There]]'': ''[[The Birthday Toaster (short story)|The Birthday Toaster]]'': ''[[Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There (novel)#Notes|Notes]]'') | |||

Though unnamed, | Though unnamed, the allusion to “the original author” in ''[[Who Laws the Lawyers? (short story)|Who Laws the Lawyers?]]'' is evidently an allusion to [[Callum Phillpott]], the author of the original ''[[Jenny Over-There: The Nine-Two-Five Universe (series)|Jenny Over-There: The Nine-Two-Five Universe]]'' stories to which [[Delilah H. Smith]]'s tale appended itself. | ||
