Nev Fountain

Nev Fountain is an author who has written three Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories dramas and two Doctor Who short stories for the Short Trips collections. Fountain is an occasional contributing writer to Doctor Who Magazine.

Fountain was also a writer and occasional actor in the sketch comedy series Dead Ringers, which often parodied Doctor Who, in both its radio and television incarnations.

Outside of the Doctor Who universe, Fountain has been a frequent contributing writer to a variety of radio and television programs since the mid-1990s, often joined by his longtime collaborator Tom Jamieson.

Fountain is also a mystery novelist, writing The Mervyn Stone Mysteries. Written from the viewpoint of the fictional Mervyn Stone, a struggling 1980s scifi television writer with a propensity for ending up as a reluctant detective, the series pokes fun at the world behind the scenes and among the fandom of things like Doctor Who.  Fountain also writes a Twitter feed in-character as Stone; from 1st April through 24th April 2011 he posted an entire murder mystery, in-character, in real-time.

Fountain has collaborated with Nicola Bryant on several occasions, including a December 2010 episode of Scoop. Bryant posed for the cover of the Mervyn Stone novel Geek Tragedy.
