| Ian Watson is fucking crazy. He's also brilliant. He lives in Spain, spends most of his time at British book conventions and mostly talks at high speed about esoteric weird stuff that would turn Dan Brown's shit into chalk.

| From a Fa/TG/uy perspective, he's the bloke who wrote the early Warhammer 40K stuff before Black Library was a thing. He wrote [[Space Marine]]. It appeared in 1993 - three years after Inquisitor, also by Ian Watson (later re-named Draco), and Deathwing. No one had a fucking clue what they where doing, so we get Squats, Zoats and lasgun-wielding Space Marines. We also get Space Marine's out-farting each other with their specially engineered [[Laurie Goulding|arseholes]]. It's weird. It's amazing. It's totally not canon, whatever the fuck that means.

| Ian has continued to write, of course, and he's got a shelf full of awards for writing weird shit. For example, his recent novel, The Beloved of My Beloved, co-written with Italian surrealist Roberto Quaglia features cloned clitorises, necrophile clones and lots of bum-sex. His collection of short stories, The 1000 Year Reich, returns to the theme of Space Marines. It's nothing that [[Black Library]] would ever publish.

| He is not [[Aaron Dembski-Bowden]]. Though ADB would be stoked if he was.
