This manual is based on the Otherkin FAQ v. 4.0.1 dated 2/8/01 which was built by The Crisses with contributions primarily from Arhuaine, Miaren Crowsdaughter, Eyovah, Thistle Kachunk, Golden Syrpent, Adara, Knight of Ghosts and Shadows (Ghostshadow), Jarin Dreamsinger and The Crisses. It was created solely by volunteer members of Otherkin community from a number of Yahoo-Groups lists and private emails/meetings. Some of those names remain in the text at this point, although further contributions from the community will likely obscure the original FAQ and FAQ responses, being updated and written by anyone who wishes to contribute. For current contributors please see the {{Profiles.Contents}} Profiles? wiki group.
