If I feel like I’m some kind of AU version of a character, could I be fictionkin?

Absolutely. Most people don’t match up with their ‘canon’ 100%.

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?

Look into soulbonding, median plurality, and healthy multiplicity. There are people out there who have had the same experiences you have, and learn how to…

I never believed in this Kin stuff. When I found out about fictionkin and headmates, it felt like “There’s a WORD for that?” I still don’t want to believe it, but I have to admit that it’s a relief to find this blog. I’ve had experiences that just can’t be explained away. So thank you.

I’m glad to be here, as a resource for people who need one.

Fictionkin on the radio?

I just received an email from a producer looking to interview fictionkin for an upcoming radio show. I intend to answer a few questions, and…

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…

Still proud of this blog. Maybe my expression of proudness isn’t much, but if it manages to make you or others smile, then it’s more than enough. Keep up the great support.

You made me smile. Thanks 🙂

Is it possible to be like 100 percent in love with a character, like id marry them and have a family and like stuff, but also be like oh frick im totally them like also 100 percent? Its really weird to think about, and im by no means a narcisist.

Sometimes the lines between attraction and self image blur. Maybe you’re attracted to them because you feel that you’re like them? Maybe you feel that…

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…
