Sneak: plural linkdump!

• First, Emma Grove has published a DID graphic memoir through Fantagraphics: The Third Person. It is huge, about 800 pages, and seems to focus mainly on a messed-up therapeutic relationship as Groves tried to transition, only to keep getting denied for DID reasons. (This happens often! Rogan often says he cheated and lied his way through our transition with no regrets.)
• The Dragonheart collective has done some more awesome work lately namely, How Do I Know I'm Plural? and Should I Tell My Friend/Doctor/Parents About Being Plural?
• Plural webrings no longer seem to exist (not that I can find anyway, and I am soooo not interested in founding/maintaining one) but some folks have compiled big lists of plural umbrella sites that would surely be of interest to folks here! Dragonheart Collective have one here, and Dervish has a soulbonding archive list here!
• Neocities has a plurality tag! Have fun trawling!
• EDIT FROM MORI: late to the party, but in more bummer plural news, ex-football star and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Herschel Walker is running for Senate in Georgia. He published a DID memoir, Breaking Free, in 2008, and has a string of horrifying DV charges against him (which he blamed on the DID). Can't believe the first plural I know of running for office is this jerk.

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.

This code was for soulbonders! (That is, folks who felt emotional resonance with media characters.  This ranged from feeling like a character "wrote itself" to said character being a fronting system member like any other.)

Neither the Soulbond Code nor the Multi Code have been really updated in fifteen years or more!  I found myself wondering, maybe it'd be neat to try and smoosh them together and overhaul them into a plural code! @_@ What do you think?  Do people even use those codes anymore?  I guess it'd just be for fun...

EDIT: I realized I never gave the definition of endogenic, and am so embarrassed!  An "endogenic multiple" is a system who sees their multiplicity as inborn, rather than coming from other sources. ^_^ Also, the Trash Can Collective told us their system name had changed and we've updated this post accordingly.

EDIT AGAIN: Trash Can Collective is now the Lunastus Collective and we've re-updated the post.

Hi everybody, it's Sneak again, and I am on a plural history Wiki roll! ^_^ Today I learned when and how the word "endogenic" got created! :D Coincidentally, it's also right around the same time as the first citation I can find for the urban legend of "'multiple' and 'system' are DID-only words and other plurals aren't allowed to use them"! Score!

Seeing how the "endogenic" term got created to try and be a completely separate form of language from all existing plural terminology at the time to avoid spurious claims of "cultural appropriation," only to then be claimed as cultural appropriation anyway, I think this helps prove just how bad-faith the original argument is.  DID plurals, we can do better!  We SHOULD do better!
