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…
Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…

liongoatsnake: The term “otakukin,” which is the predecessor to the term now used “fiction kin, was coined either before or in the year 2001. The…
Otakukin. Yes, I know, the name is really cringeworthy. I didn’t pick it. It started in the other otherkin circles. Sadly, the original webpage using…
The answer to both of these questions is yes. For the first one, many fictionkin, especially spiritual fictionkin like myself, can feel a lot of…
Ask her if she’s heard of otherkin, and what her opinion on them is, if she has. If she hasn’t heard of them, introduce her…
This is known as m-shifting and while it is more common in therians and otherkin, I have known fictives and fictionkin for whom this happens.
The terms are basically the same. I didn’t learn about the term fiction-hearted until after that was posted.

quxyun: Ok, you know what I don’t understand? I have seen a few posts that are throwing spiritual otherkin under the bus, and it is…
Personally I believe in the ‘multiverse theory’, that we exist inside a multiverse comprised of an infinite number of varying universes, such that for any possibility,…
I absolutely believe this is possible. My belief is that (at least some) fictionkin come from people who have lived lives in other ‘fictional’ worlds being…
There are two possibilities here. On the one hand the ‘psychological’ model of fictionkin may fit your situation better. On the other hand its possible that…
That does sound like polykin to me. I would do a lot of thought and meditation on the matter, but it is *possible* that you…
I have no idea. I’m pretty sure fickin is just a shortening of fictionkin. But there may be some people who assert that they mean…
This is way above my pay grade. Your sexual identity is determined by you, and only you.
Absolutely! This needs to go in the FAQ when I update it.
I’ve Rped as my kintype before, although that was six or seven years ago now. I thought it might help me feel more ‘in tune’ with…
dealingwithbs: Friendly reminder that there is a big difference between fictionkin and fictives.
To clarify, I think that the exploration of being fictionkin can start as a result of coping. But once you’ve fully explored yourself to a…

This depends entirely on your feelings. First of all, knowing your pet, how do you think it would have felt, knowing you made a tulpa…
Depends on your definition of poly-fictionkin, anon. Shoot me a clarification. Everyone has different words these days.
Your friend should stop being a douchebag. If he or she doesn’t understand why this is distressing for you, then you need to get a…
You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would call this…
That is NOT fictionkin. Fictionkin is not pretend, it is a sincere belief- one that comes from inside, not one deliberately cultivated. By all means,…
No, I’m sorry, I don’t believe in language policing. I think there are addons that will let you blacklist words that are outside of tags,…

Absolutely. In my mind there is zero difference metaphysically between a work that has been published, and a work that has not. I can’t see…
(Same anon who wants to know if I’m infatuated with a character or not) I forgot to mention, sometimes I also feel kinda like phantom…
