#And personal stories always have bias to em so I'd feel.... awkward about that.

Highly recommend checking out my partners @liongoatsnake / House of Chimeras' timelines and @frameacloud / Orion Scribner's timeline for this, if you haven't already!
Hey, I'm looking for testimonials and stories from people who are part of the otherkin, therian, and fictionkin communities! I'm outlining ideas for a video essay on the comprehensive history of otherkin and I'm looking for anyone willing to share in regards to things they experienced in the community, particular incidents, notable events, and anything else that folks might want to contribute that you think belongs in a video chronicling the full history! I'd be particularly interested in hearing from people who were in the fictionkin community on Tumblr around late 2014-early 2015 since the events happening during that period were pretty pivotal in changing the course of the community, but any stories anyone has would be great! They do not have to be Tumblr-based experiences; if you were in any other communities on any other sites be they social media, forums, in-person, etc, I'd love to hear from you!
If there's anything you'd like to share, please feel free to send me an ask or a message here with the best way to contact you (or we can correspond through tumblr if that's more comfortable) and I'd love to chat! Any information you give can be credited or anonymous to your own comfort. I'm really excited to make this video since one like it that touches on a lot of the important details I remember doesn't really exist as far as I'm aware. Thank you so much for your time!
#Chi's addendum to the timeline goes into the 2010's and I know both& my partners are working on a fuller update to it together#I joined the community in 2014 and I have plenty of stories since then but IDK about sharing them...#Just because personal stories aren't necessarily cornerstones of community history.#I can talk about large-scale stuff within the community sure but my personal stories generally *aren't* about that yknow?#And personal stories always have bias to em so I'd feel.... awkward about that.#Also gl to going through the 2010's mailing lists-- use Notepad++ that's what I've done!#You can snag archives of them from Jarin&co... maybe I think through AnOtherWiki directly?#(I just asked over Discord for them tbh.)
