Brian T. Sullivan
Brian T. Sullivan is a contributor to Redshirts Always Die. With degrees in film, computer science, and neuroscience, Brian has a deep passion for science, art, and storytelling. His all-time favorite TV series is the original Star Trek from 1966, and his favorite movie is Star Wars (1977), so you really CAN be a fan of both.

Chad Porto
Chad Porto is the site expert for The J-Notes , Toro Times, and Redshirts Always Die. He also writes for FansidedMMA. From 2020 to 2023, he covered the Cleveland sports market before making the change to the Utah Jazz.
Ian Spelling
Ian is one of FanSided's contributors to Redshirts Always Die. He has covered the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, writing for New York Times Syndicate, TV Guide, The A.V. Club, Reader's Digest, and Chicago Tribune, as well as such genre outlets Starlog, Sci-Fi Wire, and the official magazines for Star Trek, Charmed, Buffy/Angel, Smallville, Star Wars, and more. He also served as the editor of StarTrek.com, the official Star Trek site, from 2010-2019, co-authored the book Star Trek: The Original Series -- A Celebration, and even appeared as an extra in episodes of Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Ian also played a demon who's blown to bits by his demon master in an episode of Charmed. The role involved a line of dialogue -- "Are you alright?" -- and as a result he still earns about $100 a year in residuals, though some checks can be for as little as 2 cents.
Rachel Carrington
Rachel has been one of the site experts for Red Shirts Always Die since November 2020. As well as being a fan of Star Trek (and having watched all iterations) and all things science fiction, she is a published author of fiction and a freelance writer whose work can be found in New York Times, Startrek.com, The Writer, and many other outlets. When she's not delving into Star Trek or marketing her current books, she's usually bingewatching British television, military shows, science fiction, and cop dramas, shopping for the latest vintage find, or enjoying a good cup of coffee in a unique coffee shop.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
