Pluralwiki: Soulbonding (the term)

This is kinda a big expansion of our old tumblr post, A Very Brief Sloppy History of Soulbonding.  We wanted to expand it and make something proper out of it! ^_^

"If you write enough and you love what you're writing, sometimes the characters will take over and seem both real and very important to you. It's apparently a common thing. Being a bunch of confused teenagers, we labeled this phenomenon 'soulbonding'" (Scully Raincrystal, 2006 February 22).

This can range from a sense of characters having their own voice, to a person from fiction becoming a fronting system member who engages in daily life. Soulbonders may cover the full plural/singlet spectrum.

Pluralwiki: Soulbonding (the Livejournal community)

More pluralwiki!  This time it's the soulbonding community on LJ, for folks who had relationships to fictional characters.

"A Robust Connection to Fiction" --from the community's subheading (2009, January 1).

The primary LJ comm for soulbonders; it was created on January 2, 2002 (soulbonding, 2009 January 1), and deleted between January 18, 2018 (soulbonding, 2019 January 18), and June 20, 2018 (Lee, 2018).  Its archive appears to have no back-ups, except for a few stray archives in the Wayback Machine; it is lost.
