Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me if fictionkin involves fictional species/characters of your own creation? For example, if you created a species, or character, and felt kin to it, would that be fictionkin or otherkin? So far I’ve mostly seen fictionkin being for pre-existing characters or species in media created by someone else. But otherkin also sometimes seems to be only for Earth animals and not fantasy-based creatures. Could you clear this up?
Kintypes that involve species of your own creation can be considered otherkin or fictionkin, depending on your presence and who you’re talking to.
But otherkin also sometimes seems to be only for Earth animals and not fantasy-based creatures. Could you clear this up?
This is actually a bit backwards. Therian is the term that’s pretty much just for earth animals. Otherkin is specifically for fantasy creatures such as elves, unicorns, griffons, etc.
