difbrook remembers,

I contributed a bit to Paisley Pattern in my time, but not a terribly large amount - just a couple of articles. That was primarily the work of some supremely talented individuals, some of whom have gone on to make a fair name for themselves in media research themselves. The actual fanzines themselves are packed with good stuff, and like a good fanzine should (I feel), display all the little quirks and tics of the editor in charge at any given time. Davy Darlington's issues tended to be stuffed with gags about Adric (Davy being one of the few people in fandom who actually liked him), and had quotes from Scottish pop bands cropping up all over the place. Alistair McGown, Kenny Smith and Alan Morton's issues were superbly designed, and very very silly indeed, but with a serious approach to research stuck in among the frivolity. Ah, happy times.[1]
