Hello! I'm Viktor Athelstan

[themediaevalmonk]

Hello, I'm Viktor Athelstan, aka, the author of the Tales From The Monastery universe. Happy to be here!

I am the creator of the Tales From The Monastery series on AO3. https://archiveofourown.org/users/themediaevalmonk

I am also the author of the short story "Brother Maternitas" and various other short stories. I have a masters degree in medieval studies, with a focus on monastic history and magic. However, I still have much to learn! (Perhaps one day I shall get a PhD...)

I also have a YouTube channel where I make videos on medieval history, animatics, and anything else my heart desires. As of 3/17/2026 my latest long video was on Eilmer of Malmesbury, AKA the flying monk! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqi2iUp7lkv5d2RlvCSVHpw

Hello Viktor! Welcome to the club ahem i mean cloister. its a delight to have you here!
I have Brother Materinitas on my bookshelf and can confirm for the people that it rules  Your work is so fun and whimsical (and occasionally scary) and I'm so glad I made friends with you >:3c
Thanks again for helping me kick off the website!

You're welcome! I'm also glad the universe allowed us to cross paths and become friends! And thank you for the compliments on my work! I consider Brother Maternitas my best horror story to date (though I am trying to top it). I love your works as well
