So as a trans Fictionkin Is it abnormal to want to change all of me to look like my Fictionkin?

Not really! I think all of us as kin go through longer or shorter periods of wanting to modify our appearance to more resemble our…

If something truly is a kintype then it’d feel impossible to drop right? I tried dropping mine but it hurt so much and felt impossible to do so bc I knew it was me, I guess what I’m looking for is comfort in that

Absolutely, a kintype is something you can’t just drop at will.

Is it okay/reasonable to kin a character that speaks a different language?

Can you articulate why it wouldn’t be?

I’ve found most fictionkin are kin with several characters, and I’m only kin with one… is this normal?

Totally normal.

I have a bit of a confusion crisis: I’m falling in love with lotr and I feel like I am (or maybe just identify with) Legolas but I’m also super gay for him?? Like is it possible to be kin with/ID as someone and be super attracted to them at the same time?

Let me ask you a question. Is Legolas gay for himself?

I figured somebody who has been in the ‘kin community’ for so long would be the perfect person to ask about this! I understand that everyone’s experience is different, but how do you know if you’re kin…? For example, I feel a very strong and personal bond/relation towards Achilles (Greek mythology) and saying I simply enjoy his stories or that he’s my favorite seems like a major understatement. This is also the case with a few other characters.. could I be fiction-kin? Sorry if this is stupid!

Not stupid questions! Here’s some info that should help you. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/Experience http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/howtoknow

hey i have a few fictionkin q’s. are all memories coherent? are all memories painful? when you have a memory do you know right away, or is it normal to have vague memories?

Most memories are far from coherent. In order, or even fragmentary visual recall is probably what we think of most intuitively as ‘memories’ but those are…

Since you’re a kin who’s on the web field, how would you perceive the possibility of a site that serves as a database to search for other alterhumans? With search by category as a main feature. I’ve been simmering on the idea for a while, and I wanna know how out-there it is, since I’m only starting on databank studies.

Its been tried. Its never stuck. Partially because no one with the programming/database knowhow has had a go at it.

Is it reasonable to be kin but not associate with other fictionkin? I recently figured out I’m kin after a few months of questioning and while being in this community I just really don’t like it. There’s so much arrogance, negativity, and grilling of others. The one place I thought I could express myself and share experiences I don’t even feel safe in. This isn’t directed at you just the fictionkind community in general. Sorry this turned into a vent. I’m just tired of having no where to go

I know the feeling, and its perfectly okay not to want to associate or interact in an environment or with people you don’t feel comfortable…
