Hi! I just found your blog and I really like it, and ts been super helpful for me. For the past two months I’ve been learning a lot about otherkin, specifically fictionkin and coming to terms with myself identifying as fictionkin. I’m 14 and have some super accepting friends who I feel like family with, but I have no clue how to go about telling them I’m fictionkin even though I want to and I’m ready to.. Any advice? Thank you for your time!

My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…

What was fictionkin called before it was called fictionkin?:o

Otakukin. Yes, I know, the name is really cringeworthy. I didn’t pick it. It started in the other otherkin circles. Sadly, the original webpage using…

I’m not sure if I’ve already sent you a question but I’m going to do it anyways. I’m new to this whole thing and I was wondering if you can be fictionkin with a character in a series/movie you don’t watch all that much. Follow up question,can you be fictionkin to more than one character?

The answer to both of these questions is yes. For the first one, many fictionkin, especially spiritual fictionkin like myself, can feel a lot of…

I think my friend may be otherkin. She doesn’t know what it is, or even that it exists- but I think she would like to know about it. However, I don’t want to by just showing her otherkin and asking her if she thinks that’s what she is. What should I do?

Ask her if she’s heard of otherkin, and what her opinion on them is, if she has. If she hasn’t heard of them, introduce her…

I’m fictionkin, and I do something where I start thinking as my fickin and suddenly I start acting like my fickin and it feels like a form of dissociation? Is this normal?

This is known as m-shifting and while it is more common in therians and otherkin, I have known fictives and fictionkin for whom this happens.

I saw your fictionheir post and I was wondering what the difference between being a fictionheir and being fiction-hearted is? Doesn’t the definition of fictionheir already fall under fiction-hearted, since it means someone who identifies with a character, not as that character?

The terms are basically the same. I didn’t learn about the term fiction-hearted until after that was posted.

As a spiritual fictionkin, what role do you think the author/creator/actor plays in your life? Do they deserve immense respect?

Personally I believe in the ‘multiverse theory’, that we exist inside a multiverse comprised of an infinite number of varying universes, such that for any possibility,…

This is sort of like the question you already answered about being kin with OCs, but do you think it’s possible to be kin with a character from your own fanfiction? As in, an AU version of the character that you wrote about before you realized you were kin?

I absolutely believe this is possible. My belief is that (at least some) fictionkin come from people who have lived lives in other ‘fictional’ worlds being…

There are two possibilities here. On the one hand the ‘psychological’ model of fictionkin may fit your situation better. On the other hand its possible that…
