Drafts pt 2.5
OK, back to my previous set of drafts! In this case, it was the other end of what I started this thread with, drafts started in draft space by other people, but the difference with these 12 drafts is that they went unedited for too long so they got deleted. The downside from that is we do not have an existing draft to look at for content, and there is no archive saved anywhere, but I did write a short note about each person with a link to a listing of their works before the drafts were deleted, so they are not total mysteries to me. :) So if you will help with these, if any sources exist for them, I can easily request them to be restored so I can work on them. If there is content on those drafts once we can see them that gives more context to find additional sources, you may find them if you don't mind looking again and I will add those as well. :) It's fine by me if it therefore takes a little longer to go through these.
But first before we get back to the remaining 7 of those, as always other users are creating new drafts so I would like to finish those up first. :) Two to go there, so here is one:
Draft:Jonathan Sims is a British author, voice actor, musician, and games designer including the supplement Odd Jobs, and the RPGs Pitcrawler and Zero Void as noted here: [1] and his fiction credits here: [2] BOZ (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Hi BOZ (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about the subject:
- Rouner, Jef (2022-10-26). "5 horror podcasts to check out this Halloween". San Francisco Chronicle. Archived from the original on 2025-03-02. Retrieved 2025-03-02.
The article notes: "A show has to be superb when it’s 200 episodes long and your first instinct after finishing it is to listen again right away. “The Magnus Archives” is that kind of superb. Set in London, it starts out as a monster-of-the-week experience where Jonathan Sims, head archivist at the Magnus Institute, reads supernatural accounts with a derisive sneer. However, as the show goes on, it becomes clear that the statements themselves are part of a devious plot by the Dread Powers that wish to remake the world into a living hell. Sims and his small band of friends turn from paranormal investigators into monster hunters, desperately trying to keep the nightmares at bay. The lore of the show is incredibly deep, leading to a dedicated fan base that explores every crevice for more answers. Radio horror can hardly be done better than “The Magnus Archives” did it. Parent company Rusty Quill just announced the show will be returning for three more seasons, continuing the story that left the fate of main characters Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood unknown."

The presiding mind behind The Magnus Archives(opens a new window) — a horror podcast whose short, sublimely creepy episodes form the tesserae of a magnificently plotted mosaic — Sims ventured into prose fiction a couple of years ago with the admirable Thirteen Storeys and now returns with Family Business(opens a new window) (Gollancz £18.99)."

The review notes: "By contrast, Jonathan Sims’s haunted house tale Thirteen Storeys (Gollancz, £16.99) is as sombre as they come. The dwelling in question is Banyan Court, a development in Tower Hamlets built by rapacious billionaire Tobias Fell, who now lives as a recluse in its penthouse apartment. One by one we meet a varied selection of residents, each of them experiencing menacing apparitions. Their individual stories all end the same way, with a dinner invitation from Fell, and the final chapter details events of that meal as the guests assemble for a blood-soaked denouement. Sims has a good grasp for how to generate unease — the sense of things going unaccountably awry, or happening at the periphery of one’s understanding, or being just plain wrong — and builds up the oppressive atmosphere within Banyan Court skilfully. The novel’s climax, if a little exposition-heavy, nonetheless draws together the threads of the preceding chapters with aplomb and delivers a cathartic pay-off after the long, slow accumulation of dread."
- Pitt, David (2022-09-03). "Creepy complex proves terrifying". Winnipeg Free Press. ProQuest 2709237825. Archived from the original on 2025-03-02. Retrieved 2025-03-02.
The review notes: "Jonathan Sims’ Thirteen Storeys (Gollancz, 400 pages, $18) is a genuinely frightening horror story. A reclusive billionaire is holding a dinner party, and he’s invited several of the tenants of an apartment complex to his penthouse suite. But here’s the thing: none of these people know each other. They do, though, have something in common: at one time or another, each of them has had a bizarre experience in this old, odd building. In Sims’ hands, the apartment complex becomes another character in the story: possibly malevolent, certainly disturbing, always doing something unexpected. The pace, too, is exquisite, as the author steadily ramps up the characters’ fears and our own sense that something awful is going to happen. And the ending: pure, unadulterated terror. A must-read for horror fans."
- Howse, Ryan (2020-11-13). "Review: Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan SIMs". Grimdark Magazine. Archived from the original on 2025-03-02. Retrieved 2025-03-02.
The review notes: "Thirteen Storeys is the debut novel of Jonathan Sims, head writer and voice actor for the horror podcast The Magnus Archives. Given the immense popularity of The Magnus Archives, it’s not much of a surprise that Thirteen Storeys works in a very similar vein of horror."
- "Gollancz signs two new novels by horror writer Jonathan Sims". The Bookseller. 2024-02-21. Archived from the original on 2025-03-02. Retrieved 2025-03-02.
The article notes: "Gollancz has signed world rights to two new novels by horror writer Jonathan Sims. ... Sims is the creator, writer, character namesake and voice of the horror podcast “The Magnus Archive”, and its sequel “The Magnus Protocol”. His two previous novels, Thirteen Storeys and Family Business are now available from Gollancz."

The current link I have (see found manuscript that I just stubbed) is to an archive that wiki system calls unreliable, and also, it seems the text is continued on p.25 not present in the source I found. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:55, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
