Sfx MagazineSFX is a British science fiction magazine. It was launched in 1995 by Dave Golder and Matt Bielby, as an alternative to the increasingly unfashionable likes of Dreamwatch and TV Zone; having, like other magazines in the Future Publishing stable, a glossy cover, extensive features and interviews, and a witty, self-referential writing style. Dave Golder has been the magazine's editor since it's 14th issue. Matt Bielby Had held the position previously, then moving on to found sister publication, Total Film. SFX and Total Film have subsequently gone on to become market and industry leaders, and are two of the most well-recognised titles in the magazine industry. SFX managed to beat its critics with a smart and wide ranging team, high production value and a stance of independence, frequently denouncing many things before it was popular to do so. (Sadly it has also gone back on itself many times, including damning the original years of Stargate SG1 as awful trash, yet relenting on this position a few years later). The magazine has a rotating staff policy, which means that after a few issues, people are moved horizontally in order to keep the magazine fresh. There are few changes in personnel, with the newest teammate, Leah Holmes, replacing Jayne Dearsley as "Token woman". (Dearsley will apparantley be writing a regular column, however, much like Dave Langford's) Noted science fiction writer J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) specifically denies them permission to reprint his words in his internet communications.
