Another Talk To Me Day is here, the only one in November. Today our featured creator is @KitAuthor
I'm sure you have all your questions ready. I look forward to many interesting questions and hopefully a lot of friendly interactions.
Please tag @KitAuthor and use the hashtags. Type them, just copying won't work, but you know that.

So, traditionally I now ask the first question after my midnight:

When did you start to write, and what was your first story about?

Have fun everyone.

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... Nine Realms is also pretty interesting (we see far more of them in the comics than in the MCU), buuuut, in this regard, I do prefer how another IP depicted the realms: God of War. I have a bit of an issue with how they adapted the characters, but exploring the realms was quite the fun experience.

But to answer your question, finally: I do prefer the "original" Norse material, while also appreciating some things Marvel invented/changed! (4/4)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... set of nine realms that earned a more significant place in the Old Norse world. So, it's very enlightening to have this more scholarly and factual approach to the mythology, even if, of course, when adapting this to various stories, we'll take creative liberties and so on.

He also narrate some of the sagas, such as the famous Völsunga Saga, and the thing I like the most, is how we can see a lot of "Norse traits", talked in prior episodes, in there (2/)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... It makes for a very rich experience, and of course, I've been making lots of notes haha Because while Valkífor Saga isn't Norse mythology, not really, I do want to capture some of those traits and mythological patterns, both of Norse and Hindu mythologies.

So, I do like that a lot. But I also like some things Marvel did. Loki, for once, is delightful, and a part of me does enjoy that Thor must be "worthy" to wield the hammer. Their depiction of the (3/)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD lol, yeah, get ready for a long answer. As I mentioned to you before, I've been listening a lot to that The Norse Mythology guide podcast (fantastic source for anyone interested), and I love how he doesn't simply tell things as we "expect" them. For example, if you search "Nine Realms in Norse mythology," you'll see a bunch of website listening those nine we're familiar with, when in truth, we can't really say those were the nine or even if there was a (1/)

I see you've already got a few mythology questions, and I'm going down that same road. Valkífor has likely pulled you deep into sagas and eddas, and you were already well versed in MCU, so given that, which storyteller came closer to your preferred version of all things Norse: Snorri or Stan Lee?

I'm well aware your answer could be anywhere from 1 - 100K words 😆

I lived through the storm, though we did not suffer catastrophic damage due to being so far inland. The storm itself and the subsequent horrors sent me into an existential crisis of how awful things happen to good people.

Another idea I wanted to explore was the psychological damage of such an event rather than the material. Katrina proved to be a tipping point in my own mental health journey in that shortly afterward I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
