Find Your Otherkin Friends

[ysabetwordsmith]

There has been a recent influx of new users after Othercon, most of whom are otherkin, alterhuman, etc. This post is especially for them and others like them, who may wish to reconnect with people they know from that venue or similar contexts.

Use this post to tell folks that you are on Dreamwidth, what your fursona or other nickname is, and who you're looking for here. You can use the template in a comment below, on your blog, or anywhere else you find it useful. This one is shorter than the more detailed "Introduction / Friending Meme" is. Skip anything you don't want to share; add anything you feel is relevant.

Did you attend Othercon recently, or find out about this some other way?
I was only there the first year (2020), although I have some contact with people who have been more recently. Not sure what you mean by "this", but if you mean "this post", I subscribe to newcomers in the hopes of occasionally providing help to said newcomers. (I myself am a pretty early adopter of DW, since 2009.)

What is your fursona, otherkin name(s), or other nickname(s)?
Arethinn aTinderel

What type(s) of otherkin / alterhuman are you?
Otherkind, mythfolk, specifically sidhe/fae and sometimes dragon, which means both a couple of "regular" Western dragon types as well as "starddragon", which is something that might be better classified as a celestial, and might be connected to sidhe.

What kind of content do you / will you post about?
My otherkind content is behind a filter for that. I don't have that many fully public posts these days, partly because I just am not the "journaling" type (LJ and DW were always more ways to communicate with friends and associates than something I did for myself), and a lot of what there is that's otherkind-related has to do with the online event somewhat similar in concept to (but much smaller and more focused than) Othercon that I help run, called Shining Hearth.

What are some other online platforms where people can find you now?
arethinn is the other main one. My personal site is Mythsong.

Who are some of your otherkin friends that you hope to find on Dreamwidth or elsenet?
n/a I guess, this is kinda just proclaiming my presence in case anyone happened to be seeking me or someone of my kintype.

Do you have anything else important to share that will help networking?
I wish I did :P

Never heard of it.. Until now ofc c;

What is your fursona, otherkin name(s), or other nickname(s)? What type(s) of otherkin / alterhuman are you?

I am known elsewhere as a dragon named Tiesha

What kind of content do you / will you post about?

I post my thoughts on all kinds of stuff, mostly philosophical-ish. Otherkinship is deeply personal for me, so I don't post about that usually..

What are some other online platforms where people can find you now?

I'm overwhelmingly online on Discord

Who are some of your otherkin friends that you hope to find on Dreamwidth or elsenet?

Many years ago I met some dragon friends of whom I have no idea what are they up to now

Do you have anything else important to share that will help networking?

Uh, um, please follow, I'll follow you back?
