Dorte and I about to get married -- August 8, 2008, Struxdorf, Germany

Hello! Much of what you'll find on this site relates to interactive fiction, a text-based form of computer storytelling with a colorful history and, I devoutly hope, a bright future. If you have never heard of IF, but think you might be interested, please take a look at my Internet-based "book" on the subject and/or my own novel-length work of IF, The King of Shreds and Patches.  Also be sure to check out SPAG magazine, the online quarterly journal of IF of which I am the current editor, and Filfre, my interpreter for playing IF works published in the Z-Code and Glulx formats on Windows-based computers.
