Bio:
Drifting comfortably towards middle age, I'm English and Swedish, studied law and sociology briefly, served in the Swedish Air Force, and now work in maritime security. I'm a jazz and funk drummer, used to play the trumpet and the piano, and I'm a computer geek (though not competent enough to be a nerd). I play board games and RPGs when I have the time, play cops on TV, and have been married to a South African comic book geekette. Questions?

I write mainly comedy, or satire, or action with a dash of humour. I avoid angst.

Challenge Winner And The Walls Came Tumbling Down by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 27]
** Winner of Best Humor in the Hogswarts Discovery Challenge **
A mysterious door shows that the barrier between magical and Muggle may be thinner than anyone had expected...



Oh, and the rating's just for language, pretty much the level that's in the books. And the warning.. well, that's just to be on the safe side. Doesn't really need it, but there's a tiny bit of innuendo.

Challenge Winner Combat Catalyst by Torak starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 30]
** Winner of Best Overall & Best Adventure in the Dark Autumn Challenge **
As the sextet find some time to have a good chat and sort some things out, a large force of Death Eaters are on their way to cleanse Hogsmeade. Lots of non-fluffy fluff, whizz-bang special effects, and a Death Eater with a splitting headache.



Rated for violence, gore and huge nasty pointy teeth.

[18-10-2005: Rating edited - I'm told it's not that violent after all.]

Harry Potter And The Dark Legion by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 17]
*** The author has been reminded via the e-mail address on file that this story is listed as incomplete and has not been updated in over 2 years ***

Picking up where HBP left off, this (eventually) novel-length fic covers Harry's seventh year in the magical world. Probably my most ambitious story yet, and packed with little nods to external sources, just like the annotations in Pratchett's Discworld novels. Rated PG-13 for now, but I may change the rating depending on how future chapters go.

Harry Potter and the Mystery Of The Glanville Orange by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 4]
*** The author has been reminded via the e-mail address on file that this story is listed as incomplete and has not been updated since 2006 ***

A crossover of sorts, involving Harry and a modern-day film noir and pulp novel spoof sort of thing. Much hilarity, suspence and romance ensues. Or at least two of the three. Probably.

Hollywood Or What? by Torak starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 35]
A bumbling Death Eater's botched spell drags him - and a kidnapped Ginny - into a series of alternate cinematic dimensions. Naturally, Harry's saving-people-thing kicks in, and he follows them in to bring her back. Rated for innuendo, some violence and mostly mild language.

Snow Excuse by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 15]
A freak confluence of events traps - traps, I tells ya! - Harry and Ginny together at - conveniently - Ginny's romantic little cottage in the Highlands. Coincidence, or something far more sinister?

The End Of The World by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 18]
Possibly the fluffiest-ever take on the end of the world, this fic considers what might happen if a thoroughly mundane cataclysm were to appear in the imminent future. Technically I suppose it features some (hah!) deaths, but not really in a depressing way. Still...

Oh, and do whacking great asteroids count as violence?

The Potter Monster by Torak starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 15]
*** The author has been reminded via the e-mail address on file that this story is listed as incomplete and has not been updated since 2005 ***

The creature rolling about in Harry's chest proves to be less metaphorical than anyone thought. What other nasty little beasties do we know that live inside people's ribcages?



Rated R for the gore in the prologue.
