What is your Mega-zine name?
Farmer Jack

Do you wirte to Mega-zine still, and also how often do you write?
No, I've not written in for a good six months.

Do you read Mega-zine still?
No, very rarely. Usually I'll read a Zine thread if there has been a lot of replies, but I don't often read them to be entertained anymore.

How did you find Mega-zine?
I think I typed in the wrong page number on my TV remote. Many many years ago.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really good?
To be honest, I don't know most of the current ones. Paddy Irishman and Topper are two of my favourites though, although I know Topper doesn't write in now, and Samurai Hedgehog.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really bad and annoying?
Emma the-lil-Angel unquestionably. I can't remember half of the Ziners that used to annoy me.

Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever? (not in order)
Topper, Paddy Irishman, Grimble Gromble, DimGirl (from the molehole), Parsley Possum, Galder Weatherwax's Hat, 1929, Samurai Hedgehog... probably more, but I have to stop at some point.

Who are your worstest Mega-ziners ever?
Spiky Stuy seemed something of a one trick pony, always a similar letter... Emma the-lil-Angel.. I don't know many of the newer Ziners and I'm struggling to remember the old ones. I only really remember Ziners that I like. Sorry.

Which is your favourite letter you have sent?
Agh. I've no idea. I will try and think and edit this at some point.

What is your Mega-zine name?
Dark Grey Wolf of Norbex

Do you wirte to Mega-zine still, and also how often do you write?
Yes. Erm, it depends weather I can think of anything and weather I can be bothered.

Do you read Mega-zine still?
Yes

How did you find Mega-zine?
Some person at school who used to write in told me about it.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really good?
Hmm. DeLorian, Briggy, One Winged Angel. Radcliffe, Gutless Wonder

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really bad and annoying?
Emma Lil Angel, Becky Bigmouth, Punk Princess, Dalek, Dadypoos, So Many Fish/Too Many Fish (forget which is the correct name)

Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever?
Hmm. Pretty much the same as the current as I can't remember much about the past Ziners

Who are your worstest Mega-ziners ever?
Pretty much the same but with a few additions.

Which is your favourite letter you have sent?
Hmm. Probably between the one where I said I got mugged by a goat/squirrel, or the Powers That Be letter or any of the letters from the war with Possum.

Matt.

My megazine name was 'overcome with emulsion'

I only ever sent two letters and they both got printed. But that was about 4 years ago, long before i came on here.

I still read it now and again.

As for all the other questions, i cant answer, as i never really took any notice of who the people were.

Still, i did make a contribution to zine, however small and insignificant it was.

When you get here, the Welcome To This Town sign, it scares little kids with it's skulls and it's gore
When you leave here, the Get The Hell Out sign is well kept and pretty with floral decor

What is your Mega-zine name? Samurai Hedgehog, obviously. There was another one too, but I can't remember what it was. I think it went along the lines of Inconsequential Squirrel, or something equally daft.

Do you wirte to Mega-zine still, and also how often do you write? Very rarely these days. Although it does still occasionally take my fancy to do so.

Do you read Mega-zine still? Again, very rarely. I don't actually have proper Teletext at uni or the internet, so that makes it a tad difficult.

How did you find Mega-zine?I don't know. I think a fellow Digitiser fan recommended it to me.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really good? You'll have to excuse my lack of current 'Zine knowledge here - Elden Ray is just about the only one I know and like.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really bad and annoying? That Daddypoos guy gets on my nerves a bit, but I've never paid him (or anyone else) enough attention to decide whether he's truly bad or not.

Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever? Topper, Farmer Jack, Lilac Leopard, 1929.

Who are your worstest Mega-ziners ever? Emma. But then, I think you knew that already, didn't you?

Which is your favourite letter you have sent? Strangely enough, I don't pore over my own letters - once I've sent them, I tend to forget about them. So I'll have to pass on this one.

Browsing through Teletext while bored, quite a while back.

Everyone else (Best way to say it without insulting them).

Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever?
Since I've not been a regular reader for long, just read my Current/recent list and add one or two.

Who are your worstest Mega-ziners ever?
Everyone else.

Interesting Chair, was your impersonator called 'Dissinteresting Couch' because if it was then it was me. I'd just started and I thought (for some unknown reason) that the best way to get attention would be to blatently rip off other people's names, that and it was act of future promotion, I actually started with myself sending in letters under the (pathetic) name of Dr Namgge's Evil Side from another email address. I was hoping to have an argument with myself, for some reason, however my rebuttal never appeared (perhaps they figured out that it was me), and people assumed that what Evil Side said was what I had said, so I started parodying other 'Ziners.

for the record I parodised The Owl Of Bewilderment (The Budgie Of Confusion), He Who Loves To Skank (She Who Loathes Skanking), Chocolate Crazed Biogeneticist (Toffee Obsessed Physicist), Interesting Chair (Dissinteresting Couch), and I did try Topper (Bottomer) but it never appeared, I gave it up around Feb '05

What is your Mega-zine name?
DeLorean

Do you wirte to Mega-zine still, and also how often do you write?
Probably not anymore. I'm going to become The Evil Resident on GameCentral instead.

Do you read Mega-zine still?
I might keep reading for a few months out of habit, but it'll probably get tiresome eventually. Especailly when the current series of Deal or No Deal is over and i've no reason to be watching channel four anymore.

How did you find Mega-zine?
No idea.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really good?
Well I cant remember any particular names, so I guess none really stick out.

Which current/recent Mega-ziners do you think are really bad and annoying?
It's not the Ziner's faults! Its that WLW b*tch ripping up all the decent letters and printing a barrage of crap on all four pages.

Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever?
Sykopathik Mushroom was good, but I dont even see him around VR much now. I was pretty great too, if Im honest.

Who are your worstest Mega-ziners ever?
Sometimes I see a name like 'daddypoos' and refuse to read their letter on principle.

Which is your favourite letter you have sent?
a question that requires me to think? ha! i dont think so.
