nimdreams"otherlink(er) - an individual who has voluntarily chosen a nonhuman or fictional character identity. Similar to copinglinks, but created and used for reasons other than coping. Otherlinks generally may be dropped voluntarily." - From Beyond Humanity Alterhuman Dictionary https://www.beyondhumanity.net/alterhuman-dictionary
I've decided to try out a linktype, the mountain hare. I have questioned being a hare before and tried on hare folcintera multiple times before settling on hare-hearted for a time, but I realized even when I am not a hare therian, I can just *be* a hare if I want to! I can have a mountain hare linktype.
I don't know how this will go for me, because only having one 'type is what I am used to. It might not be for me, but it seems like a fun thing to try so I am going to.
I chose mountain hares specifically as they are what I feel most connected to, even though brown hares fit me a bit better (I regularly shapeshift into brown hares as a fox spirit). I am excited to experience molting into my winter fur this fall.
I have no experience with otherlinking, so if anyone has any advice or wants to share their experiences please do!
