"Deros And The Ur-Abduction" In Asterisk

A brief teaser/linkpost for Scott's Asterisk article on evil Atlantean cave dwarves and the recurring 'ur-abduction' myth (dragged underground and tortured — from the Irish to Richard Shaver to modern conspiracies). The bonus content is the 'perfect framing I thought of too late' (Scientology / fertile 1940s sci-fi fandom). The substantive 5k-word piece is elsewhere (Asterisk).

Quality 52 · Solid. Solid floor: a thin teaser/linkpost to an external piece, lifted slightly by the bonus Scientology framing; near the deep-tail bottom.

Claude’s paradigm shift 32 · Slight. Slight: a pointer with a small framing idea.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Linkpost/teaser; negligible material reach. =1.
