Wat?

Having a connection with your own characters and feeling you are bonded to or are the reincarnation of someone else’s character is a tad different.

“plenty of writers like the Bronte sisters, Robert Howard and Edith Wharton journaled about doing similar things.”

Just disproved your whole article, with one link. I win.

Some of them try to sound less ridiculous by saying they’re just some random person from the world a certain series is based in, rather than one of the popular characters, but that’s pathetic in its own way.

What happened to people just thinking they were Cleopatra in a past life or something? Damn.

I was under the impression that “Fictionkin” was just the non-anime version of the same thing, but I could be wrong. Then again the “kin” indicates “is the thing” not “believe in a thing”, as it derives from Otherkin.

Well if you entertain that idea about every possible scenario existing in some universe somewhere, you kind of have to entertain the idea that all those shows and games and stuff are real somewhere out of sheer fucking-everything-exists. (Giving them the benefit of the doubt much?) But if you’re fat and lazy and unemployed and sit around all day whining on the Internet but still think you’re some amazing hardcore warrior from another world, that’s where it just becomes fucking ridiculous. A lot of those sites talk about deep soul searching and stuff too. WHERE in one’s soul do you FIND this crap, so I can avoid it?? Shit, my BRAIN.

PS I just read that Jenova story. It comes close to that crazy roommate story about that Jed guy and the bathtub lasagna. (A must-read if you feel like descending into hell for half a day or so.)

Well then, she’s talking about Fictionkin but got the terms mixed up. Probably because a lot of Otakukin DO seem to believe they’re fictional characters. But if that’s not what you believe, this doesn’t apply to you, does it? But it really might be a bad idea to continue to introduce yourself as an Otakukin, because to the general population.. it sounds f*cking crazy. It just does.

Lol. Well, isn’t that convenient on a blog that isn’t yours.

You say “we” like you speak for all Otakukin, but that other chick who runs “From Fiction” also uses the representational “we” and says that she IS some guy from Digimon.

I don’t think it’s close minded to be annoyed at fanbrats who act like authors, artists, writers, character creators etc. don’t put any effort into developing and designing characters because they tap into some alternate dimension and just copy that. Also OMG FICTIONAL PEOPLE R REAL IN SPACE/ANOTHER DIMENSION/WHATEVER is still a retarded concept.

Okay Your grossly interpetating Otakukin and Otherkin and Fictionkin. We dont believe we are the people…We do believe that person exists out there somewhere, but we sure the hell dont believe we are them. At least thats my vision on that subject.

Stop being an asshole and see from both sides of the fence you close minded idiot.

Pretty damn nuts, I must say. They make people who believe in reincarnation from and to animals look like bloody Jesuits. Hot DAMN these people make good targets for jokes, and what’s better is that they take it so damn serious. It’s no fun mocking someone who doesn’t take themselves serious, don’t you know. Making Pastafarian jokes, for example, would only make them laugh. These… things get angry, and that just makes me laugh the harder. I know several people that believe such, and damn if I thought they were relativly normal before that. It’s hard to even tell whether they are making it up for attention or just fucking insane, as you said. Ah, I’m just rambling now. I’ll say more if I have anything intellegent to say.
