the public domain

a 16+ fictionfolk discord server creating a space for all fiction-based alterhumans to interact with one another!

[the-public-domain]

welcome to the public domain, where fictionfolk can be their fictional selves! (its the law)

our aim with the public domain is to build a space for those who identify as fictional characters, feel a strong connection to fictional characters or sources, have fictional headmates, or identify in any way with fictionhood to talk about their experiences in an inclusive environment.

we are...

doubles friendly

open to all sources ("even [controversial and/or problematic source]?" yes, even that one!)

welcoming to all origins of being fictional.

welcoming to all fictionfolk identity labels. (fictionkin, fictionlinkers, soulbonders, fictionhearted, fictives, have fiction-based archetrope identities you'd like to talk about? if you believe your alterhuman identity relates to fiction at all, you're welcome here!)

non-judgemental, with respect being a focus (use whatever terms you would like, this is a server about experience over any terminology. we don't police the language of others here.)

largely discourse-free, with no channels dedicated purely to arguing or discourse.

system-friendly! the public domain is system-run, with both pluralkit and tupper available to those who need it.

! further info !

16+ in general channels, with separate 18+ channels available

forums for discussing specific sources, source memories, etc. with sourcemates. if your source doesn't have one already made, you can make one! pave! the! way!

channels for talking about the intersections between fictional identity and fandom, queer identity, spirituality, etc.

interested in seeing more...? join us on discord here!

a 100+ member server where members are free to discuss their experiences as fictionfolk in a chill, supportive environment.

doubles friendly

welcoming to all, regardless of source ("problematic" sources are welcome, we have no source or character blacklist! this does, of course, mean you have to be chill with seeing people from sources you may dislike or find uncomfortable. this isn't a fandom server, be civil about people's identities please!)

welcoming to all origins of fictionhood (spiritual? psychological? a little of both? something else entirely? come and join in!)

welcoming to all fictionfolk identity labels (fictionkin, fictionhearted, fictionlinkers, those who experience fictionflickers, fictives, soulbonders, those with fictional hearthomes... the list goes on! regardless of terminology you use, if you identify with fictionhood, you are welcome here. we aren't just an identify-as server either! we'd love to hear from those who identify-with, identify-from, etc.)

...did we say welcoming to all? we welcome all!

largely discourse-free, with no channels dedicated purely to arguing or discourse.

system friendly and plural-run. as for bots, we have pluralkit, tupper, and /plu/ral!

a gated community, with a small mini-application to fill out. don't worry, we'll take a look as soon as possible!

! further info !

while we are a 16+ server, we do have separate 18+ channels available.

we have forums for discussing specific sources with sourcemates. if you ever want to infodump or memoryshare in a forum, go for it! does your source not have a forum? you can make one yourself!

we have channels for discussing aspects of fictional identity, as well as channels for discussing fictional identity intersecting with spirituality, bipoc identity, queer identity, fandom culture, nonhumanity, etc. on the topic of this month, we also have a channel for discussing disability and neurodivergence!

we have a question of the day channel for asking questions about fictional identity to spark conversation! have something you'd like to ask the group? you can suggest a qotd too! grab a role to get pinged! (but if the bot isn't being used, try to not spam reply to the asker, lol) more related to qotd (fun events maybe👀❓) are planned to come soon!

don't have much to say about your alterhumanity at the moment but still feel like hanging out? no worries! we've got off topic channels so you can talk about whatever show you've been watching, food you've been making, outfit you've been wearing, art you've been creating, etc.! just because we're a fictionfolk server doesn't mean everything we talk about is gonna be /srs-fictional-identity-talk, lol, we all just like to hang out and have a fun time!

so... any of that sound interesting?? check us out on discord and enter the public domain!

Hi!! I have a question about some of the specific terms having to do with fictionkinning if that’s alright. I was wondering what Fictionflicker means? Pls don’t feel pressured to answer tho ;;

of course! a fictionflicker is a temporary identify-as fictionfolk identity! using an example from my own experience with flickers, when I played ORAS i fully identified as brendan. but it was temporary, and went away when I stopped playing the game. a lot of people who experience flickers do so often, with a lot of characters, but you don't have to. it's different from a kinshift, because if you're not shifted you still are the identity you aren't kinshifted to. it being temporary is the main point!

I'm not fictionfolk but I'm interested in learning more about it, would this server be open and friendly to those who want to know more about fictionkinning? (I hope that's the right term)

hello! i apologize for the delay in response, as ive been away from home these past couple of days!

we fully welcome those who are questioning their fictionhood in the server. we hope that discussing what you're questioning with fictionfolk will help you to learn more about your identity.

this server is, though, at the end of the day, a server meant for fictionfolk to have a general community space of their own. while we appreciate your willingness to learn about our community, there are many resources available! i highly recommend orion's fictionfolk resources masterpost! pretty much all the references i likely would have sent are on there. id also recommend looking at the fictionfolklore writing tag! here you can find many writings about people's personal experiences that they chose to make public.

for those who are part of systems that may have fictionfolk in them, such as those with fictives, but aren't fictionfolk yourselves, you are welcome to talk here as well! i think it's good to make that clear, as we tend to get tripped up when it comes to figuring out if we're allowed to talk in certain servers if the person fronting isn't the exact topic of it and the guy who is isn't around. so long as you aren't derailing fictionfolk conversations, you're totally fine!
