Fictionfolk resource masterpost
This post is about fictionkin, fictives, and other types of fictionfolk and experiences of fictionality. In it I recommend some readings and other resources for definitions, primers, etiquette, history, questioning, databases, and community. I have also shared this list as a Bluesky thread.
