NOTAFLOFAbout the organizersMax Silver (he/they) is the creator of this series. He is the author of multiple unpublished manuscripts, a devious doodling artist, and a banjo-player...so you already know that he is really strange. The tale of Calthumbria began as a short story no longer than 15 pages, written while Max was in the midst of a severe depressive episode when the world was supposed to end according to the Mayan calendar in 2012. It was not until 2020 that Max began to truly flesh out the series, carving out entire podcast episodes that are still currently in the making. The book is now a trilogy, and the series seems to go on with no end in sight. It is the creator's hope that Calthumbria brings you joy, laughter, and a healthy means of escape. It is not a bad thing to take breaks from reality every once in a while, so that you may return to life fully recharged! He also hopes this work inspires folks with neurodivergent tendencies to keep working on their passions and never give up. The sooner that stigma against people with various mental health conditions ends, the better.
