I write stories in English every now and then. I'd like to do it more but unfortunately I don't have too much time..

I'd like to emphasize the fact that English is not my native language.. the fact that most of the stuff here is first-draft material does not improve matters.

I've also posted some of this stuff on alt.fiction.original and uk.culture.arts.writing, as well as penWrights website. Some will also be published in hugi electronical magazine. If you're interested in reprinting any of my material, please ask for my permission first.

Comments are more than welcome! (hint hint)

New

The Fall of Ronald the Wonder Wizard, 2006, Fantasy
Ever wondered why there's monsters in the sewer in every fantasy RPG out there?.

Recommended (my better stories)

Drifter, 1999, Fantasy
The fantasy world in this one just hit me; I'm planning on using it and these characters further in a longer story.

Threshold ('drifter 2'), 1999, Fantasy
A brief story in the same vein as 'drifter', but the two bits are somewhat inconsistent. Before touching this world again I'll have to make some notes..

Auburn May, 1998, Romantic
This one started out by trying to abuse the first line of the story. Mix in some rather cold weather..

Others

This is the story from our Assembly2002 demo, 'fable'.

Variations of a Theme I, 2002, Various
An exercise I made for myself during my vacation. Explaining it before you read it would spoil it. Trust me. =)

Jack and the Devil, 2002, Fantasy (I guess)
Jack had always been unnaturally unlucky, but what does the devil want from him?
Note: includes some cursing.

Sniper, 2001, Scifi
Veteran assassin gets a job that's just too weird to ignore..

Gate, 2001, Scifi
Why should teleportation be noticeable?

Things change a bit when you're abroad for a while..

Shadowstone, 2000, Fantasy
This is the first draft. I'm considering rewriting it properly.

On time, 1999, Scifi
Why time travel is pointless.

Feet, 1999, Scifi
Don't sleep with your socks on.

Witchcraft, 1999, Fantasy
What if magic is just something we've forgotten?
>> This window Popup

Counting, 1999, Scifi
I found myself having this stupid habit of counting seconds, and built a story out of that.
(and hey, I managed to break the habit that way)

The Weaver, 1995, Romantic, Sci-fi
First story I wrote - in any language, and English is not my native one. Probably could use a rewrite.
