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…

can being kin be used as a kind of support for anxiety/stress/depression? Sorry if this is rude in any way, I’m really new to this ;;

You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would call this…

Is it ok to ID as certain characters who I closely relate to at times as a coping method? To pretend that I am them and not me so I don’t have a panic attack abt something happening to myself? Like I do that, would I be fictionkin or is it smth else?

That is NOT fictionkin. Fictionkin is not pretend, it is a sincere belief- one that comes from inside, not one deliberately cultivated. By all means,…

Could you please tag for ableist slurs? You published an anon using the r-slur and it made me super uncomfortable. :/

No, I’m sorry, I don’t believe in language policing. I think there are addons that will let you blacklist words that are outside of tags,…

Hi! I’m a bit nervous about even sending this on anon but – i think i might be kin with a specific regeneration of the Doctor? Would that be possible? Everything about it, I feel it to a /very/ personal level, and i know in a way, we both share some sort of connection.

fromfiction: Hmmm, anon, I’m sure this is possible, though it does sound a bit unique. I imagine that in your universe incarnations of the Doctor…

do you believe in being fickin with one’s own original characters or someone else’s original characters?

Absolutely. In my mind there is zero difference metaphysically between a work that has been published, and a work that has not. I can’t see…

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…

What do you say to those who find the whole “fictionkin” concept provocatively retarded?

Don’t associate with fictionkin.

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…
