Kate Fathers |
Kate Fathers is a Canadian writer who spends much of her time in coffee shops reading books for Starburst Magazine. When not reading (but when is that?) she travels, spends too much time in front of the television, drinks her weight in tea, and writes for the parenting website Mindful Mum. The curious sort can find her short fiction in Issue 4 of The Devilfish Review.

Graeme Ferris has been a Doctor Who fan since he can remember… He regularly blames his dad for that. Having survived his awkward teens as one (the wilderness years in so many ways), he managed to study Psychology, get a life, become a successful DJ then manage a job working with young people leaving care. He now has a caseload (of teens), who quite like Doctor Who too since its return. Aspiring writer on the side, he now splits his time between shouting at workmates that it’s not ‘Star Wars’, eating a lot of chocolate and brainwashing his partner with classic Doctor Who. All that and he falls over a lot. Still awkward!

Christine Grit |
Christine Grit has loved Doctor Who since she was 9. At the time she didn’t know about regeneration and was rather surprised to find a totally different Doctor on the screen once she could watch the BBC again (after having not been able to for a few years). Where had the man with the scarf gone off to? Christine likes nearly all Science Fiction and Fantasy although Doctor Who has a very special place in her heart. The presence of Daleks and/or Cybermen every once in a while is considered to be the ultimate highlight on a Saturday evening. She can be described as a Dalek nut and showcases quite a few of those in her home, which often leads to questions from friends as they really don’t know what they are. Doctor Who certainly isn’t mainstream in the Netherlands. Finally, she enjoyed visiting the Dr Who experience in Cardiff immensely, not in the least because she wasn’t the only crazy lone middle-aged woman present.

I'm a happy, tall, optimistic librarian, who also happens to have a been a Doctor Who fan from the age of 4 when my Mum sat me down to watch it to keep me quiet, little knowing how much I'd go on to love the show. Since 2006 I've been writing, acting and producing stories for the Planet Skaro Audio series and had a great time doing so.

Alan Hayes arrived on the scene halfway through The Crusade (that’s 1965, not 1191, by the way) and has been involved in cult TV fandom for over thirty years. Landmarks are his unintentionally hilarious debut as a Doctor Who fanzine editor in 1980 with Fury From The Deep (now published, warts and all, by Hidden Tiger Books), the popular tapezine Sonic Waves and more recently his acclaimed websites The Avengers Declassified, Randall and Hopkirk (Declassified) and JSFnetGB, which documents It’s A Knockout. Alan has also, with his wife Alys, tracked down and restored missing Avengers radio serials and has produced reconstructions of missing TV programmes for Studio Canal. In 2011, he turned his hand to publishing and runs Hidden Tiger Books, which has issued four titles to date. Alan lives in Enfield, is very happily married, and is owned by a cat named Zoe.

Paul Stuart Hayes was born in December 1971, at a time when Led Zeppelin IV was riding high in the album charts, whilst embarrassingly Benny Hill’s‘ Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West’ stood at the top of the singles chart. Paul is the author of Requiem for Sherlock Holmes, a collection of adventures featuring the great detective, available for purchase on Amazon and Lulu.com. He has also contributed contextual notes for The Theatrical Sherlock Holmes, a set of four play transcripts written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette. He is currently working on a new release that is so hush-hush that even he isn’t 100% sure what it is. Although Paul has shied away from “organised fandom”, he does have one claim to fame in that he has shared a car with Colin Baker – actually, to be honest, Colin was in the car, Paul was in the boot (true story).

I am an Elections Office Administrator from North London with yellow teeth and a scraggy ginger beard. I am currently engaged to a wonderful lady, perfect bar her hatred of Jon Pertwee. I have had a sporadically successful adult life in which I have dropped out of university twice, had a humiliating defeat on CountDown and have been about as emotionally honest as a fridge-freezer. I write for ancient and legendary Doctor Who fanzine Celestial Toyroom including a co-written monthly column entitled The Matrix Lava Lamp - The Liar's Guide to Doctor Who. I am currently working on making up Eric Saward's autobiography "Everything Makes Me Sad."

Nicholas Hollands |
Nick Hollands likes Doctor Who, as well as logic puzzles, computer programming, cheating at computer games, origami and food. But not all at once. He can bore you to tears about traffic lights. After starting to watch the series in 1979, he finally made it onto a Doctor Who forum in 2008, and attended his first convention shortly thereafter. Among other things, he owns a fez and a Cyberman T-shirt. Having relocated from Sussex, he now lives with two cats and a long-suffering partner in Glasgow, and currently spends his days trying to invent new recipes involving Haggis. And avoiding tidying and laundry. He doesn't have a particularly vocal web presence, but if you see something written by 'Moogthedog', it's probably him. At 37 he's too old to enjoy fart jokes as much as he does.

Lucy Horn is a long-time Doctor Who fan, who has always believed that Peter Davison was a better Doctor than Tom Baker, and that David Tennant will one day come to his sense and sweep her off her feet. A primary school teacher from Worcester, she's a huge sci-fi fan, but still doesn't believe her Doctor Who collection (which is extensive) is big enough, regardless of what anyone else thinks! She lives in the middle of nowhere, in peace and quiet, where she can write as much Doctor Who fiction as she wants!

Quiana HowardQuiana Howard is in an obsessive love affair with Doctor Who, so much so she got the Seal of Rassilon and a TARDIS tattooed on her back. Currently she is finishing her degree at Western Michigan University in the USA. She plans on becoming a professional writer. She hopes and dreams to one day be the first American person of colour to write for Doctor Who. But until then she hangs out with her cat Elmo and sews cosplay in her spare time.

Si Hunt
Si Hunt is a some-time writer and all-the-time office worker who lives in a small village in Hertfordshire, not far from David Beckham - an invitation for tea has so far not been forthcoming, though David keeps dropping hints. He has enjoyed Doctor Who from an early age, and been loitering around the internet ever since it was invented, cadging free stuff off other fans in return for returned enthusiasm. In the early days of fan-recorded audios he transcribed an off-air copy of "The Invasion" for a website, only to spot his transcription being used in the Making Of documentary for the BBC animated version, which might explain the mistakes.
Si has been Deputy Lord President of the Planet Skaro Doctor Who forum for the best part of a decade, and wrote, produced and "show ran" (it says here) Planet Skaro audios for six years, bringing back the Krotons before Big Finish thought of it. |
He once wrote an article on every Doctor Who story in order for the Vervoid website (reasons: unknown) and drinks ale now, not beer, if you are buying. He also regularly contributes to Fantom Films Doctor Who event programmes. His other obsessions are cooking and glorious English singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl. Follow him on Twitter if there is room in your life for random ramblings.

Thanks largely to an older sibling, I've been a Doctor Who fan for as long as I can remember comprehending television. But I got heavily into Doctor Who fandom in my own right during the mid-1980s and, by the time of the 25th anniversary, I was prancing around on ABC-TV (Australia) in a Peter Davison outfit on their afternoon kids programming. I no longer dress up as Peter Davison, or prance, but still maintain a deep affection for Doctor Who and maintain a Who-related website and Twitter.

Blayne T JensenBlayne T. Jensen was blessed to be a child in the 1970’s when “Logan’s Run” was the coolest movie ever for an entire year.
As a teenager in the early 1980’s, he would soon discover both the author, Douglas Adams, and the television series, “Doctor Who” which would form the template for his future self to tell stories of his own. In the 1990’s, he would discover the sublime comic stories of P.G. Wodehouse and add them to his palette. As the Millennium came, he met Amber Benson and the framework was complete to begin his story. |

Louisa JonesFirst and foremost I am a mother of three beautiful girls, my eldest has idolised Doctor Who since she was 2, the middle one
|
watched the Christmas special at 7 months, the baby was 3 days old and had her first cuddly dalek at only a few months old. The picture you see is the Tardis cake I spent hours creating just to keep my eldest happy on her birthday, believe me I am no baker and I ended up very stressed and very blue!
I am currently in my second year studying my degree in Creative Writing and Literature with the OU and write as a hobby. I am currently working on some competition entries for the year and a novel I started as part of NaNoWriMo last year. I have many poems, short stories and notes collected over the years and I will soon be writing my writing journey on my new blog! |

A lifelong Who fan and grew up wanting to be either a scientist or jet pilot – I didn’t make it. After a few different jobs, eventually landed my dream role as a software developer. As of the time of writing, Im getting on a bit so I hope no further career changes are forthcoming!! My other lifelong affinity is Slade. It's my fervent wish that they will reform one day and remind the world what a solid rock group they once were. The years are progressing, Doctor Who is starting to get better, and Slade are less likely to remind us of what they once were. |

I’ve tried to give up my addiction many times – gone cold turkey (lasted one week without a telly in 1990s), tried another form of addiction for a couple of years (Buffy, Angel, Farscape), met up with like minded people at various meetings at church halls (the great days of The Wolves Of Fenric meetings at The Chaplaincy behind the ASDA or at the Beacon Centre For The Blind in Bell St.) but I have to now stand up and admit my addiction – I AM A DOCTOR WHO FAN. I would like to thank my wife, Kully, and children – Manpreet, Rajpreet, Lukhvir and Arjun for supporting me through this difficult time and, whenever possible, being there when I had to have a DVD hit. And also the Lovely But Dastardly Roger for ebing my addiction counsellor and confidante for the last twenty years.
