as a fellow “fictional race/clan” kin i have the same problem, plus the fact that my canon has been a rather obscure series until recently and a lot of the fandom members are just really gross to otherkin/fictionkin, i don’t really feel like i can be myself anywhere

I sympathize. Its difficult to have few people who can relate closely to your kintype around. That said, be yourself with the larger kin community 🙂

As a side note (not that I think you were doing this), but I would like to remind everyone that barging into the fandom for your ‘canon’ and telling the fans that you’re kin, and your opinion matters more than theirs on the source material, etc, is very *very* bad form. It gives fictionkin at large a bad name, and is likely to get you metaphorically run out of town on a rail.

From Fiction’s tips on how to interact with fandom:

• DO politely share your art, fiction and ideas about the source material.
• DO blacklist and avoid fandom concepts and ships that make you uncomfortable.
• DO NOT constantly remind the fandom of your fictionkin identity.
• DO NOT harass people for shipping or believing things that make your uncomfortable, or that don’t fit your idea of what happened.
• DO NOT make unsolicited comments about what ‘really happened’.
• DO share what ‘really happened’ politely *if asked*.
• REMEMBER that the fandom is meant to be fun.
• If the fandom for your source material upsets you too much STAY AWAY FROM IT. Its not worth the suffering.
