If you find yourself gaining a new kinself *every time* you watch a new show/read a new book, you need to take a step back…
I’m sorry if my explanation confused you. I tried to keep it simple for those who are not part of the community, and/or are questioning…
Abby is kin. Abby’s kinselves are Dirk, Legolas, and Pikachu. Bobby is multiple. Bobby shares headspace with Jane, Aragorn, and Charizard. Abby experiences her kinselves as…

I have never personally heard of this happening, however, there is no reason it could not. It sounds like a very weird experience! Anyone who…
I often advocate for people NOT to tell people IRL in their lives that they’re fictionkin. At least, not to tell people who are not…
This is a feeling a lot of kin/hearted people share. Sadly some sources are simply quite rare, while others are overflowing. I have never met…
People believe in fictionkin in many different ways. Some people who don’t believe in spirits or souls believe fictionkin from a purely psychological perspective. I…
Many kin don’t have concrete memories of their other lives. Memories can be distant, unreliable, and often painful and sad. They can be triggered by…
I personally don’t think artists have any right to allow/disallow people to say any specific things about art they release publicly. If you’re putting your…
Lately, a lot of people I’ve talked to have been surprised that I am not a singlet. Frankly, I don’t mention my system a lot,…
Well, first of all, I’d like to say that you should talk to your friends, and ask them what being fictionkin means to them. It…
I have lots to say: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/tagged/racism
My opinion is that being kin with someone can have LITERALLY nothing to do with ANYTHING that happened to you in this life. This is…
If it were me I would say “I am (character) in my heart. I take their identity on as my own.”
I made my last post private. Someone struck a nerve. I needed a minute. For the record, please don’t make assumption about anyone based on…
I know the feeling all too well. Fictionkin are pretty looked down upon in a lot of circles. Honestly, there are two things that can…
Depends on the kin in question. Here’s what I can tell you. Surveys show that the overwhelming majority of kin (who answered the poll anyway)…
Memories are tricky. Some kin have lots, some kin never get any more than ‘feelings’. Its hard to pin down memories deliberately, especially without the fear…
I don’t personally know anyone that for sure identifies that way that I’d be willing to link. But how about anyone who DOES identify that…
Only you will ever be really sure if you are fictionkin or not. Honestly, most of the members of the community I know still have…
I suppose my thoughts are that from what you’ve said, it does sound more like fiction-hearted. Lack of memories doesn’t always mean you’re not kin,…
As someone who is kin of a Japanese person myself (Ken Ichijouji) please do not let a small minority of people up in arms silence…
Interesting question! The fiction-hearted/otherhearted community is an evolving one, and I’m not sure anyone quite knows how we all ‘fit together’ as a larger community of…
I’m so glad you found a term that rings true to your experience! Soulbonding is really a fascinating experience and a deep part of my…

This deserves a longer answer, but to be frank, Ive touched on it many times before, and its late, and I’m going to bed in…
Tough call. From what I’ve heard, this sounds a little like what psychological identified fictionkin experience. But that is not my area of expertise. From…
Its more likely that having the same interested as a character *before* knowing of that character would be an indication that you were kin. Emulating…
Depending on the world, you might not even be a specific character from it. You may just be a person from that ‘universe’ who lived a…
Sure. People believe all kinds of things, apart from religions. If you want a deeper answer than that, you’ll have to clarify what you mean.
I have in the past, given interviews. I am happy to talk both for serious publications and for personal curiosity, however I am not interested…
An interview with a (part) vampire… Beware of this group! force-7 is a UK MARKETING RESEARCH company ( www.force-7.co.uk ) that has recently been approaching people…
I’m not certain what to make of it either, except perhaps that it was very traumatic, and blocked out for a reason. I suggest that…
