Clone By David Such © 2008 David was born in Brisbane but now shares his time between Sydney and a vineyard in the Hunter Valley. He has an irrational fear of rejection and felt that being a writer might solve this. It's not the first time that he’s been wrong. David is probably best known for his loud and irritating laugh. His short fiction has been published in AntipodeanSF, Planet Magazine and The Specusphere.

The Long Pockets of Deep Space By David McVeigh © 2008 David McVeigh is a frustrated Data Network Administrator living in Brisbane. During the past thirty-odd years he has also been a Communications and Computer Technician, Flying Instructor, University Literature Tutor and Salesman, sometimes all in the same day. His interests are: not being a Network Administrator, red wine, and writing. The order varies.
