My fandom is very intolerant of fictionkin. Some of them have called us plagiarists and pretending to have DID and showing disrespect for the author. This really hurts because I can never come out and I actually have a HUGE respect for the author. The fandom is mostly roleplay blogs so it’s really hypocritical and it sucks.

Roleplay is roleplay, and fictionkin is fictionkin. The RPers are not being hypocritical by being annoyed that their game is interrupted by kin. If these…

Hi so I have two questions if you don’t mind! Is it normal to have be fickin and also have fictives? Also, is it considered.. weird/etc for all your kin/fictives to come from just one place? I’ve only recently started coming to terms with being fickin and I’ve suddenly met with two fictives as well, and my 3 kin and fictives all ‘originate’ from one work of fiction.

I feel silly getting protective sometimes because they feel like an extension of myself..?

That sounds like fictionkin to me. Congratulations on the beginning of yoru awakening. It will be a long journey, but one that will lead to…

Hi! I just found your blog and I really like it, and ts been super helpful for me. For the past two months I’ve been learning a lot about otherkin, specifically fictionkin and coming to terms with myself identifying as fictionkin. I’m 14 and have some super accepting friends who I feel like family with, but I have no clue how to go about telling them I’m fictionkin even though I want to and I’m ready to.. Any advice? Thank you for your time!

My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…
