Andrew G. McCann ("Three SciFaiku Poems", various other writings) is editor of this here zine and wrote the fake editorial and the fake letters, as usual. He once drank an entire pond over the course of a summer (no fish were harmed in the process). http://www.planetmag.com

Joseph Moore ("Smile") has begun his writing career from the tiny hamlet of Las Vegas, Nev. Growing up there has given him a great love for the 3 a.m. Big Mac and a hatred of neon. His main inspiration for writing is his boring, day-to-day existence that is occasionally punctuated by bursts of excitement, adventure, and luck. He will be married in October (a sign of just how lucky he is). He has sold two other stories to different magazines.

Joy B. Roan ("Fagan's Quest") was born in Jersey City in 1965, adopted at age one and a half, and spent the first ten years of her life in Woodstown, N.J.

In 1989, Joy moved to San Antonio, where she lives with her husband and four-year-old son. Joy received a Bachelor's Degree in English from UTSA. She enjoys reading, writing fiction and poetry, and is a film buff. She is also very interested in Medieval English literature and society and Celtic mythology.

Rowan Wolf ("alt.confessions") is a Swedish national born in a small northern town longer ago than he cares to admit. After school in Sweden, he wrote columns and articles for a couple of local newspapers until he left the country to see the world -- which he's done now for many years, hitting Europe, Africa, England, and New York on his way to Los Angeles. Over the last decade he's mainly written songs, while dabbling in, then learning, the story craft as well. Now it's a fifty-fifty proposition: songs and stories. He lets them fight it out; the strongest comes out first. Rowan has also finished one novel, with two more in progress. http://www.netcom.com/~rowan
