Also, since it seems OKN is balking at trying to put more than one link in the same post, Shining Hearth encourages you to sign up for our newsletter at https://www.shininghearth.net/newsletter.html to get future updates!

Staff signups are now open for Shining Hearth! We are looking for people to volunteer to moderate chat, to help presenters get set up, and to help take care of technical needs for activities such as watch-alongs and game sessions. You can select only one of those or any combination. The form is available at https://forms.gle/8ii3XtYjW63r4GTC6 and will remain open through December 2.

Online gathering of Elves, Fae, and adjacent Folk... Would you attend?

This past August, some therians and otherkin from Tumblr organized a free virtual convention called Othercon. It went off well, proving such a thing can be done, so my husband and I plus a couple of elven-faery friends wondered: could we do a similar online gather that was specifically intended for Elves-Sidhe-Tuatha-Fae?

We are still in the very early planning stages, at this point just seeing if there is enough interest to make it work. If you are of one of those folk, take our survey at https://forms.gle/iYADL7bKrpwoZ8z88 ! It will remain open through October 27.

Feel free to send this link directly to friends or to share it in locked posts or private groups, but please check with me before posting it anywhere public.

(To answer one likely question up front, we do not intend to bar entry to anyone who is not Elf, Sidhe, etc., solely based on what they are. We are just trying to keep the scope of panels and activities fairly narrow.)

Is it just me or is spamming article after article about steaming videos seem like a troll move. The bad kind not the otherkin kind. Sorry that is a poor choice of words. If somebody knows another word for internet trolls reply with it. If there isn’t another word let’s make one maybe.

I find many posts incredibly interesting but I see a case of rose colored lenses being all to common. Of course we will see our otherness as the us we prefer over humanity but in many cases I see a lack of negativity. That is where I find my remembering so at odds. Many of my remembering are not good but that doesn’t make it bad to uncover. If you were the reincarnation of a monster that doesn’t mean you must be one. You could instead learn from the errors of your previous selves and pursue a better path in your current incarnation. That is why I accept all of my peoples rememberings (the good,the bad, and the ugly)

I\'ve been away from otherkin.net for a few years. Life happens *shrug*

I am no longer taking students, but I\'m willing to talk to people and try to answer questions.

I\'m also still involved in the Texas otherkin scene in general, and the North Houston Otherkin meetup group in particular, if you would rather talk in person.

May you find what you need,
Dan
