Otherkin

Wow, I get busy with real world things and suddenly the community doubles in size. :D

I just want to say hi to everyone and just point you over to the community's profile page if you haven't perused it yet. While it has some common sense rules (tl;dr - don't be a jerk), what I want to point out is that this is an open-by-default community. Some people aren't comfortable with that, which is okay, and why I created a sister community. Otherkin_haven is a moderated-admission, locked-by-default entries community. Feel free to join it, as well.

Welcome to Otherkin! I'm Dragonwolf, your (usually) friendly moderator. I figured I'd start things out with an introduction of my own.

What name do you want to be referred to as? Dragonwolf is just fine.

What is your 'kin type? I am an Ulfhednar, a wolf-warrior of Odin. It's not as glamorous as it sounds, I assure you.

How long have you been awakened? Hmm...quite some time now. I think around 5 or 6 years?

Describe your awakening experience. Like many, mine was a process. I think I found one of the early incarnations of Therianthropy.org, and had found the Norse legends of the Berserkr (bear warrior) and Ulfhednar, in search of figuring out why I felt different. Something clicked with the Ulfhednar description and the rest, as they say, is history.

I plan on writing some entries to get things started here, that way the community isn't empty for newcomers, so be on the lookout for them!

I'm also terrible at tag creation. I have a few up, but it's nowhere near enough to really be useful. I also tend to think in hierarchies and objects, so a flat tagging system is kind of weird to me, which makes things more difficult. So, if you have tagging suggestions, please let me know what tags you want added.
