Paul Morris - Editor
Ostensibly a mild-mannered computer programmer, Paul has also had a novel rejected by Virgin and a sitcom rejected by the BBC. Paul’s articles for SAD Magazine have a long gestation period, sometimes not being completed until after the next issue has been read by seventeen and a half people. It is only through the power of the internet, black magic and an exhaustive use of powdered Commodore 64 cartridges that we have been able to bring you any at all. Paul has in his possession 116 copies of the novel of Jaws. His only pleasure left is producing overly ambitious print runs of a sarcastic and inconsequential fanzine which litter his spare-room like huge, papery stalagmites.
Rob Morris - Designer and Webmaster
Rob’s given up pretending to be an academic, and is instead attempting to become the gayest man on the planet, with - so far - moderate success. Having just graduated with First Class Honors in English he is now an IT consultant and has moved to London where he is still trying to find a house in order to become one of Camberwell's eligable bachelors. (Eligible, of course, only to those men who fancy a quick shag after they've bought him dinner.) Paul and Rob are not actually related to each other, despite the confusions which so many people seem to find hilarious.
Simon Barnard - Interviewer
Simon Barnard is a junior producer on Steve Lamaq’s “Evening Session”, or whatever they’re calling it now. He has his own posse, the “Simettes”, who follow him around in night-clubs saying “Can you get me a job on the Chris Moyles show?” To which Simon replies “Come up to my room and we’ll discuss it...” Simon interviewed Tom Baker exclusively for SAD #2 - by pretending that he was going to plug his book on Radio One. PS. Don’t call him Barney. Or Si. Or Barnyard. Or Simon Barney Barnyard.
Simon Guerrier - Writer
Simon Guerrier has an MA in, of all things, science fiction, for all the good it's done him. He has earned a living selling booze, cleaning toilets and tearing up cardboard. Since entering the real world he has become something big in booze, enriching his potentially impressive list of qualifications with an NVQ in Wine Studies, or something. Like everybody else, he is writing a novel, and currently collects rejection letters. He is 23, and really ought to have grown up, apparently.
Simon H. Scott - Writer
Small children quake in fear at the sound of his approach, and his hair has not been cut since 1972, but Simon is a committed writer to SAD magazine. He collects barbiturates and pieces of loose hair from Carol Smillie’s pillow. With his degree in Radio, Film and Television he has so far found gainful employment in an art shop. It was in this capacity that he once sold a bottle of Tipp-ex to lanky TV newscasting buffoon Peter Snow.
Lee Binding - Writer
Lee “The Trouserkiller” Binding is allegedly a professional, but we’re not sure what he does exactly. Enquiries of his friends and colleagues yielded the following suggestions: “very little,” “fucks with our minds” and “any man over 40 years old.” His current projects include a heavily plotted children's novel, a surreal and camp script and his gaydar profile.
James Henry - Writer
So, what do we know about James? Not much, except that he works in the Canterbury Waterstones, running the Writers Circle and dusting all the stale and yellowing science fiction novels. He’s the closest to a professional writer we have working for us and usually has traces of half-removed nail varnish on his, er, nails... He’s lovely really. But he’s insane.
