Danford Scott

Danford Scott is a character in QIA. He is a novelist with a reputation for pulp fiction.
==Biography==
Scott's work is generally derided by critics, yet hugely popular; Scott reportedly has 'legions of fans'. ("Virmayarvi")
He tends to dress with extreme eccentricity ("Bell", "Destiny")
=== Erik Draper ===
Despite Erik claiming to have never before met Scott in June 2023, the two were in fact old friends, going back to at least as far as 2021, when Scott had visited Erik in his home in Helsinki. ("The Blood-Dimmed Tide")
Enora Gallou later learned that Scott's source for his novel Countdown to Chaos was in fact Erik. ("Destiny")
== Bibliography ==
Scott's stories tend to be sensational, with one example being a novel about a policewoman who used to be a prostitute, who uses sex to solve crimes.
=== TEA: Countdown to Chaos ===
In late May 2023, it came to the attention of Enora Gallou and the QIA that Scott had written a novel clearly based on the agency, following the worldwise disclosure of their actions after the Prometheus Leak. The so-called TEA is the 'Time Enforcement Agency', and the first novel about this agency is titled Countdown to Chaos. Many of the main characters seem to be heavily based on the actual London Field Team:
* Captain Al-Zurfi, a reincarnation of Cleopatra (based on Tasneem Hafiz)
* Agent Sally Cunnilinguist, a blonde bimbo who mostly appears naked (based on Sarah Cunnington)
* Agent Tully, a technical expert who is also a virgin (based on Ethan Taylor)
* Agent Butts, a Maori warrior who can crush men's heads with one hand (based on Tom Burt)
* Agent Gaul, a former prostitute from Paris (based on Enora Gallou)
* The 'Time Terrorists' (based on the Reclaimers)
The storyline of the novel is absurd, featuring such incidents as Agent Gaul having to seduce her father and become her own mother, and Sally Cunnilinguist sleeping with Leopold in June 1884 despite him having died three months previously in real life.
Another storyline, involving the character of "Jimmy the Finger", caused Enora alarm when she read it, since it bore a striking similarity to the mission in which Josef Weidemann had been wrongfully arrested and incarcerated in the Void, which later led to Enora learning that Scott's source of information had been Erik. ("Ascension")
