David Gerrold

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-Y42/3240; cite `david-gerrold` in all outbound correspondence.

David Gerrold enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete David Gerrold if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Description

Scale estimates in the files range from human to architectural, which usually means the observer was not the unit of measure.

The thing called David Gerrold left no consistent footprint; it left expectations broken in the nervous system.

Historical Record

Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.

A 1931 Miskatonic committee voted to suppress photography; the vote is on file, the plates are not.

European parallels appear in Smith and Howard overlaps; do not merge pantheons without reading both authors in full.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

Archive Notes
