Johanna Koljonen

Johanna Koljonen orgnised nine larps in Finland before moving abroad and was the editor-in-chief on the larp fanzine Panclou, which was very influential in the Nordic Scene in late 1990s, but which actually existed only as a way for the poor student to pay for trips to Knutpunkt. Later she became a respected larp critic and lecturer. She still helps make other people's larp and is currently in the early planning stages for a horror game inspired by the movie The Shining.

Professionally Johanna Koljonen a cultural journalist working for newspapers and for the Swedish radio. She has a BA in English Literature from Oxford University and is studying cognitive semiotics very, very slowly at Århus in Denmark.
