Looking for more information about otherkinity and fictionkinity? We get asked for resources on the regular so decided to compose a masterpost. If you have suggestions you’d like to see added or removed, shoot us a message and we’ll hop to investigating.
Otherkin is sometimes considered an ‘umbrella’ term for all nonhuman experiences. However, since otherkinity refers to species, alterhuman is often the preferred and considerably more functional term. This post focuses primarily on being ‘kin, although we have included some resources discussing other alterhuman experiences near the end.
Some of these sources link off of tumblr, to PDF files, or Youtube.
