IN GENERAL

What does “Norðanverðulfr” mean, anyway?

Good question. We think it means “Northern Wolf.” I say think because I’m not an expert in Old Norse, and so our clumsy word-stringing might end up being something entirely different, or at the very least grammatically incorrect. For now though it’s Northern Wolf, which is … super awesome.

In fact, don’t even bother telling us it’s not right. We don’t want to know.

Update: 

So, as I (hello, Brig here) have studied a bit more, it seems that the name is mostly correct, with a grammatical mistake. The word should be Norðanverðǫlfr or Norðanverðölfr, depending on your preferred pronunciation (Old Norse or Icelandic). So there’s that.

How do you pronounce that?

For our purposes, the letter “ð” is pronounced as a “th.” No one is going to make fun of you for pronouncing them as d’s though. Not to your face.

Wait … there are two of you?

Yes, we are a couple and we each contribute to various portions of the website. The majority of the editing is done by me (Brig) and so when you see “I” you can pretty safely assume that it’s me (Brig again) speaking. When you see “us” or “our” you are now aware of why that is. See the About page for more.

SHARING HELP

Are you on Facebook?

Oh hell yes! And we’d LOVE to see you there! Join us here: Nordanverdulfr. We decided not to be on Twitter, YouTube, or various other social networking platforms, simply because we’d be spending all day updating all of the sites and not getting any other work done, or having lives of any sort.

I was once addicted to Twitter and can’t go back. *wink*. I may be on Instagram soonish, to plug my woodworking projects.

Can I link to your articles or website?

Gosh really?  We’d be honoured! And thank you so much! Basically, we both encourage linking and sharing. We only require credit for our work, which should pretty much be standard practice and net etiquette by now. If we like you, too, we might add you to something in return.

Can I send you something to review?

Sure. Keep in mind that we can’t guarantee we’ll absolutely love whatever it is – and we’ll only write about things we just love. If you want to send us free junk we almost certainly won’t write about it.

Sample products we won’t write about include: coupons, cleaning supplies, stuff that involves math, gym memberships, and weight loss shenanigans. Things we might write about: red wines, white wines, things actually related to the subject matter of our site, and whiskey. Especially whiskey.
