*Insert lame meta-joke about empty blog here*

I’m curious as to this whole Otherkin phenomenon. I hear extremely graphic stories from some, about other-worldly beings and other such ideas; and other accounts of a more... personal nature, that being Otherkin is more of a shifting...almost flowing state of mind- that there are certain “shifts” that come and go, with frequencies ranging from uncontrollable to well mastered; involuntary to willed, and so forth. So I want to know: what's it like? There are an infinite number of stories out there, and I'd like to know. People talk, and talk, and talk, but does anybody listen? Does anybody care about what you have to say? Well, I do. That's why I'm posting this. I want to hear what people have to say. Obviously, someone’s going to read this. And I’m not foolish enough, nor ignorant enough, to limit this post to those who wield the title Otherkin. I’m looking for Therians, Fictives, Theriomyths, Phytanthropes, Draconics, Vampires, Copinglinkers, Animafidem,   Cerebrumaliusi, Otherhearted, Fictionhearted, Soulbonders, Multiples; LITERALLY everyone who has had an Alter-Human experience. I don’t care if you think your account might sound outlandish. I want to know. I get that it can be very personal, which is why I’d like all of these to be Messages straight to me; that way it’s a private affair. Chances are, if you’ve made it this far, you’re got something to say.

A new perspective has made itself known- the idea of being connected, “kin”-ected as I’ve seen it called, to... something. Anybody want to share some insight on what their specific connection to something else is? A little confusing, I’m sure. my question is this: How do you feel connected to your particular, for lack of a better term,  “kin”-ection? I don’t want this to apply specifically to otherkin, though. I guess a better way to ask this to the general public would simply be... why? Why does whatsoever character you identify with, and sometimes as, have such a personal impact to your sense of self?

I’m looking for people who are knowledgeable about the community to have an intelligent discussion with. If that sounds like something you’d like to do, I’d love a good chat. I don’t know much about the community myself,seeing as how there are virtually MILLIONS of perspectives. Hopefully, though, with some intelligent discussion, I might rectify that situation. If anybody chances upon this, feel free to chat with me.
