Now that I think about it, I wonder how many of the people we’re labelling as fictionhearted would better fit under the concept of fictionflickering? Would I be contemplating a new kintype right now if I didn’t know about it? Yet another small but occasionally useful term that I’m sad is lost.
From the community description, for those who are wondering:
not quite plurality, not quite soulbonding, not quite fictionkin; a sort of nebulous experience of shifting identity through various fictional characters, of briefly (or extendedly) “becoming” fictional people and the shift in identity and perception this may involve, with or without the experience of memories or past-life leanings (or any belief that such a phenomenon is necessarily spiritual or otherworldly in nature). If you’ve ever felt yourself “imprinted on” by a fictional identity, if you’ve ever spent a day or a week feeling like a character, if you’ve ever momentarily expected to see a different, yet familiar, face in the mirror – if you’ve ever felt flickers of fiction in your identity – this may be a helpful, or at the very least interesting, community.
