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?

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

sometimes people create characters to vent personal emotions/feelings/traits–characters that are literally themselves with exaggerated bits for fun. i did this and had a friend claim to be fictionkin, /literally/ my character. i’m not okay with that seeing as the character is literally manifest creation of myself. do you believe someone can be ‘literally me’? even though they’re the fucking opposite of my personality?

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…

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I don’t personally identify as fictionkin, but I’ve recently gotten attached to this one character and it’s kinda weird… Like, I imagine them in my shoes sometimes when I’m out and about, and I act and think like them sometimes. Could I be fictionkin, or am I just overly infatuated with this character?

(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…

Listen, I hate to sound mean, but if multiple people believe they are the same character, it debunks their claims. In addition to this, if you believe you are a character that was originally portrayed by an actor or actress, you’re wrong. You may seriously relate to them, but you can, in no way, be them. Again, sorry, but it’s true.

Point the first, you don’t sound mean, you sound smug and condescending. Point the second, even if you assume that there is only ONE version…

I’m pretty sure I’m fictionkin, but I tend to cycle through characters. Most of the time, everyone is background noise, living in my wacky cross-canon mind hotel, with one very dominant character who I start to emulate (usually without meaning to). I get teasing comments about how the character and I are clones. And then a year later, it’s a different character. It’s confusing! It’s ruined friendships because I “change” personality so often. Any advice?

I’m new with the whole concept of fictionkin. From what I’ve learned I feel like a friend of mine is fictionkin. Since he is so spiritually connected with certain characters to the point you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Is that fictionkin or something else? I’m not entirely sure. :/

From the outside, that certainly sounds like fictionkin. It could be something else though, like fiction-hearted, or soulbonding. I’d recommend telling your friend that you…

Someone close to me suggested I might possibly be fictionkin of someone very powerful and well-loved from a really famous fandom, and I can see why they said that but I also hate the idea. I don’t feel good enough, I’m nowhere near as great as he is. I feel like I don’t deserve it. Is there anything I can do to accept the idea long enough to explore it fully?

I’ve struggled with similar feelings. Honestly, I think the fact that you feel like you’re not ‘worthy’ is a good indication that it may be a…

Hello! I’m sorry for disturbing your askbox, but I have a question! I think I’m kin with this certain character, but I don’t really know if I am. I’ve actually gone through the EXACT same experiences they’ve dealt with and I noticed that we both have the same hobbies and dislikings. But maybe it’s just me overthinking. Am I kin with this character or do I just look up to them?

Only you can really answer that question for yourself. Having the same experiences in this life as a character does in a fiction can make…

Hi, so, I’m not really sure I believe in fictionkin, but many years ago, 2006 I believe, I had a phase where I absolutely felt that I was Haseo from .hack//ROOTS, the feeling was so intense, and I felt all these emotions he had felt, and I seemed to have thoughts that weren’t canon that felt like memories, however that feeling faded after a few months and I haven’t thought about it since. What do you think, am I fictionkin or is this something else entirely?

You definitely could be fictionkin. I can’t tell you whether you are or not. Its something you have to figure out, searching within yourself. When…

So lately I’ve seen many fictionkins asking ppl who are kin with the same character as they are to not to follow them or to ask before following and I’m wondering, why? I’m not a fictionkin myself (maybe a bit fiction-hearted tho) and I’m really curious about this. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to feel some kind of connection with ppl who are like you? or not (like many ppl seem to prefer)? (I hope I made myself clear and used the right terms, sorry if I didn’t!)

fromfiction: I must admit that I too have been wondering the same thing. I was confused, when I few months ago, I noticed the trend…

Yo uh, I’ve been looking for active fickin communities so that I could read other people’s experiences? I’m trying to figure out if I am fickin or something else and I feel like reading other experiences would help me. But when i google it all I see is pages upon pages of people just bashing it that it makes it so hard to find any info. If you want me to ask off-anon for links to active community i could do that, and I’d understand why.

I do know of one active community for fictionkin, however its very private. I’d urge anyone looking for a community like this to message me…
