I hope you don't think me rude or narrow minded for doing so, but this is a strange concept to accept made harder to believe because of the popular use of it to explain one's awkwardness or physical or emotional shortcomings. I've tried to research the whole thing, but who's real and who's not is hard to tell; I've considered asking but decided against it. I don't want to appear a troll nor end up listening to one of the "fluff" members. <BR/><BR/>Reading this post, I realize you have done some significant research. I still admittedly don't "get" otherkin, but you have raised my opinion of them, that there are those who aren't picking it as the flavor of the month so to speak. I have until this point been exposed mostly to the ones who seemed to be otherkin based on a few questionable reasons. Entries, for example, by those who declared themselves otherkin based on a few dreams, books, a preference for a specific food, or articles aren't uncommmon.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, well written.

It&#39;s just I was skimming and at first I read that as &quot;dark elf&quot; and then realized what was actually written, and... it seemed funny at the time. &gt;_&gt;<BR/><BR/>-MakhsihedDaniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17269458599515593528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966217118386617894.post-51240517004350421092008-12-22T11:44:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:44:00.000-08:00*snicker* You rock.<BR/><BR/>I can attest that it is possible to be both a dork and an elf at the same time ;)Elizabeth Vongvisithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15533923721625694394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966217118386617894.post-29613591409114045762008-12-22T09:08:00.000-08:002008-12-22T09:08:00.000-08:00"Amen to that" and nicely said. People who decide they're otherkin to explain their social short comings are just posers in my eyes, especially if they do not fully understand what they claim. This is why when someone new comes to a forum I'm on I ask the simple question of "why do you believe you're ____". I don't expect people to have some great answer, heck "I'm not sure, I'm still working on it" is perfectly valid. I ask it because that one question *always* shows who's fluff.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15863317492168937072noreply@blogger.com
