Fictionkin Community!!!
As I, like many others, have been struggling with canonsickness and yearning for canonmates, I thought it would be a good time to introduce a concept that brings me much comfort and joy in the interim!
I call it Adopting A Sourcemate! This is a person who is dear to you and shares your source, but not your exact canon. For example, this person may not be the Dave Strider from your canon, but they are for all intents and purposes Your Dave Strider!
I’m sure I’m far from the first person to exercise this concept, but if it helps others, I want it to be out there!
Also, I know it can be easy to feel discouraged in the current kin climate, especially if your source isn’t widespread, or you’ve had many interactions with potential source/canonmates that have fizzled out, but try not to give up hope! There’s always a chance to find a canonmate, or to forge a bond with someone you can adopt into your world :) Sometimes that’s even better!
