The Original Works of J.R. Karlsson

[Hostral]

Hello there, Russian friends. I am J.R. Karlsson, semi-regular forum poster.


Unfortunately I do not speak any Russian, so sorry about that.


Over twenty years ago I bought and scanned every English Conan pastiche. Some of these works were probably translated by you fine folk on cimmeria.ru.


Some time ago I did a hatchet-job rewrite of Robert E. Howard's non-Conan material, resulting in Conan the Adaptable. It wasn't very good. This was translated by Vlad and published by you. I even got a copy!


This thread is for original works only. No Howard, no adaptation of other authors, my writing and stories only.


The first story is The Mists of Pictland, a short story that occurs between The Land of Misty Tsars by Vaclav Vagenknecht and Conan the Bold by John Maddox Roberts.


It sort of handwaves how Conan ends up back in Cimmeria at such a young age despite clearly exploring the south and venturing with the Asgard in the north.


My stories are completely free and written for my own amusement. Share and enjoy.
