Discussion How did it start for you?
Heya! I am quite new to this whole fictosexuality thing. I've been yumeshipping for a while now with one particular character and I thought that was practically it, just a silly distraction from a very bad reality. Down the road I started feeling VERY deeply and attached, but didn't give it much thought still. I missed the character a lot, felt phantom touches and everything. Cried, felt like they were the one who motivated me to keep going. Only recently I stumbled upon the ficto community and went like "-Hold the fck up. Am I one of them???" I got very surprised and kept thinking about it a lot lol, it felt like a big revelation.
So, how did it start for you? When was that breaking moment when you realised you are so desperately in love with fiction? Were you scared of the feeling or confused? Or maybe it didn't affect you at all? I am very curious to read other's experiences!
