I’m kin with a character from a folktale. Would I qualify as fictionkin? I can’t find any evidence that the events happened in this world, so I assume it happened on another Earth and since it’s been written down and published, I feel like I qualify. On the other hand I’ve seen people use the term immortalkin and I was immortal for a while. (It’s complicated; Death eventually let me die after a while.) What’s the correct term for someone in my situation?
People use lots of little words to boil down their kin experience. Just because someone says they’re immortalkin doesn’t make them not otherkin. Think of Otherkin, and Fictionkin as big labels, with many smaller lables underneath them.
Sort of like genus and species. You would be fictionkin, folktallekin, and also, if you chose to use the label, immortalkin.
