Chris Brittain

"So, where to begin… ah yes..!"

Chris Brittain is 23 years old and a bank administrator. He wishes whole-heartedly that he was neither of those things. In his head, he's a 19 year old layabout writer who magically gets provided money by a soup dragon that lives under the floor.

He is a geek in every sense of the word from the naming of any episode of Star Trek if given a plot to calling his iPod "TARDIS". He lives in Birmingham in the UK and tries to divide his spare time between writing, directing, readings, watching movies and TV, eating, sleeping, spending as much time as possible with his wonderful girlfriend and occasionally talking to himself. In his house, you can find the entire book series of Star Trek: The Next Generation until 2003 and a complete collection of the Star Trek fact-files as well as almost every comic DC has produced since he started earning money. He also has a giant beanbag.

He studied politics at university, attempted a law course that was so boring he's still recovering from the permanent narcoleptic state it left him in and is now working in an investment bank, pretending that he's not selling his soul by repeating over and over "It's just until I finish my novel". The novel in question has been a work in progress since he was eleven and is only now showing signs of real development in the form of multicoloured notes on his computer.

He is currently developing his playwriting skills on a course having acknowledged that, in all honestly, his dialogue can be as wooden as Keanu Reeves. Alongside this, he's working on two online comics that will be coming to a sofa-site near you soon (see below), a couple of radio productions, a talk/comedy podcast and a tattoo that will never see fruition unless he gets off his ass and loses two stone (that's 28 pounds).

He loves rock music although he needs to get his ears out the eighties and expand his tastes beyond Aerosmith and Meat Loaf. At weekends, he can often be found either at one of his 'homes'or at one of Birmingham's fantastic rock venues (his favourite of which burnt down two weeks ago) dancing to "Killing in the name of" and My Chemical Romance.

Despite being one of the most disorganised people on the planet, he has managed to keep his directing duties in very organised and labelled folders and generally hits recording deadlines for his vocal stuff. He promises to try harder.

His Favourite word is Bollocks.

Chris discovered Pendant Productions completely by accident whilst searching for clues and spoilers regarding DC Comics Infinite Crisis crossover. He's very happy that he did.

If you want to find him on the internet, his website home is www.subjectsofthesofa.co.uk which is still in complete disarray after its last restructuring. Watch for a whole new lease of life in the near future. He also hangs around on livejournal under the alter-ego of OmniGuy or on myspace where he is JustOmniGuy (because someone else got there first). He is terrible at updating both.

If you have any comments, criticisms, questions or if you just want to say hello he can be reached at justomniguy@gmail.com. You know you want to.
