Articles & Interviews

compiled by Arethinn

This page collects magazine articles, interviews with otherkin, and similar things written for a popular audience. Keep in mind that these pieces are usually written by outsiders to the community, and as such may contain inaccuracies or misunderstandings even when they are generally sympathetic in tone.

An article entitled "Elven Like Me" appeared in the New York magazine The Village Voice in February of 2001. The impending publication of this article spurred a lot of the initial activity in getting Otherkin.Net shaped into a community resource back around 2000. This older version of the page has the original art.

This article from the March 2001 issue of Fate magazine was an early published article written by someone who was herself otherkin.

Naya Aerodiode says, "I Believe in Otherkin"

"Otherkin: An Unseen World of the Non-Human" on New Rising Media. Note the corrections and additional information from members of the otherkin community in the comments.

Elf Reforms - an interview with an Otherkin. An interview with a Daoine Sithe (Daoine Sidhe) named Luke. Some of the responses in this intervew strike me as rather odd ("Innate Species Persona"? a "dark-elfkin" dating a "light-elfkin" would "raise some eyebrows"?), but I link to it here for general interest and perspective.
