So.. I have this character. He’s an original character, not from any universe. I made him 7 years ago, and honestly he feels really close to my heart. Our personalities/looks/etc aren’t alike at all, but.. he’s so familiar. When I write him, it’s like I’m writing something that I could have tangibly experienced. SOmetimes I’ll have experiences and I’ll flash to thoughts of him. Could it be possible I subconsciously brought out a past life that could be considered fictionkin?

That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…

I went through an awakening and I have several memories from my canon, so in my mind my kintype is pretty well cemented. But I feel like I see much more of “myself” in another character from another fandom, if that makes sense. They’re so much more like me than the character whose memories I have. Is this common? It feels weird and I feel out of place identifying as the character I awakened as, knowing there’s another one out there who seems much more like me.

It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…

i want to be a good friend to my fictionkin friends, but thinking about multiverses and things messes with my sense of reality to the point of nausea, so i just don’t talk to them about their kin stuff ever… :/ i’ve been trying to research it but i can’t do it for too long at once because i get so uncomfortable. can i still be a good friend if i say nothing?

You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…

Have you ever experienced an energetic shapeshift with regard to your kintype? I know this is common for therians/otherkin, but how about fictionkin? Pretty sure I shifted into the fiction kintype tonight, but my kintype also isn’t human, so it was pretty noticeable. I’m curious about the shifting experiences of human-based ‘kin. If you’ve shifted, is it harder to discern because your other self was human too?

This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…

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 hope I worded that understandably and thanks :)

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…

I’ve started wondering lately if I’m kin- at first when I saw the character I was like, “that’s me- mannerisms, personality, I feel like I know exactly how they feel” and over the past couple months it’s evolved. When I see them I can’t help but identify with them on an emotional level and the “that’s me” feels like “that’s me, that’s me in maybe the right body or a different universe, not sure yet”. 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…

Sorry if this is something you’ve answered a thousand times; I couldn’t see this specifically in the “FAQ” (at least not at first glance so ignore me or point me in the right way if I missed it). Out of curiosity, do you believe that someone who is fictionkin – not as a coping mechanism, because I see this commonly with coping kin to have multiple kintypes – can be kin to multiple characters?

Absolutely! This needs to go in the FAQ when I update it.

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…

poly-fictionkin anon here! I mainly see two types, people who identify as two characters in the same canon. (As in the same person being both Shinji Ikari AND Kaworu Nagisa from NGE) And, I also see people being kin with multiple characters from different canons. (So one person being, Shinji Ikari, Steven Universe, and Miku Hatsune). What are your opinions on those two types?

otherkinfaq: fromfiction: My basic opinion is that every identity someone has should be given equal weight and scrutiny by both themselves, and others. I believe…
