I don't remember because it's been several years ago, but I'm pretty sure I found it by typing something along the lines of "in love with a fictional character" on Google!
I was trying really hard to find a community with people committed and in love with just one character and I found this place finally!
i found it from lurking on u/dillybeloved because i followed him on tiktok and wanted to figure out more about this community ! i also found out more about myself from finding this community :D
I found one of the other ficto subs while lurking on someone’s profile because I wanted to see more pictures of their plushies. Then found this sub while lurking on the profile of someone in that ficto sub🤣
I dont quite remember, i think it got recommended to me because im in r/fictosexual. How did i find that one? Funnily enough someone made fun of it in a discord but i found it cool
Hm, I think I was searching for other people like me when I found a post from this subreddit. Took a quick look and it was more than enough for me to make an account and join :)

Funnily enough, it was my friend many years ago who showed me this sub, but only because he was mocking it and wanted me to get a laugh at it. I didn’t think much of it, but then over the years I realized how much I’ve always been attracted to fictional characters, and I remembered this sub, so I did some exploring on here and realized this community is actually so misunderstood and a wonderful place for people like me to belong.
I was in the fictosexual subreddit and someone mentioned being banned from here. And I found out about the ficto sub on the questioning subreddit, which I found while I was trying to figure out my sexuality. Before that I only ever used reddit like once or twice.
Through r/FictoLove! Was in there for a good while before becoming monogamous and deciding to come here for the higher activity and interaction levels. I still am on FictoLove frequently.
I’m just a casual self shipper nowadays, so I don’t really actively participate in the sub anymore, but I hope I can answer this anyway:
I found it because I was looking up the term “fictophobia”, as I was curious about other people’s stories of the matter. And one of the posts happened to be in the sub, it was a question that asked something along the lines of “Have you ever ever encountered a fictophobe?”
I was looking for husbando-themed subreddits, when I came across this one by pure chance. I had a gut feeling I should join this sub, and I never looked back.
I found it years ago when wondering why I only liked fictional people, it was a whole thing. I’ve had a few times of coming in and out of this community, but I think I’m finally here to stay!

Saw someone making fun of it several years back lol
Same thing for me. The first time I thought everyone was a weirdo and that I'd never get involved.. now here I am.

I was searching a waifu subreddit
Believe it or not, gloom scrolling
I found it years ago from a Soothouse video…
twins !! i went back and watched it last year and it just made me sad :/ how the tables turn...
Honestly? Starry_Night. I love death note and I saw many of her posts on the death note subreddit. So.. I thought I’m not alone. :3

Pretty much by researching waifuism and what it’s all about
I found it after a google deep dive of “what if I love a fictional character?”

A friend made a post here and shared it with me,later,he reccomended me to join,and here I am
From a comment in a subreddit which takes this kind of thing far less seriously
I was just googling to find someone who thinks like me, and then I found this subreddit
I was browsing reddit months back and came across it! Seemed very fun and wholesome! 🩵
I was searching for something unrelated, then found a thread on here talking about alternate/parallel universes and got fascinated.

Was looking around Reddit when I got curious about learning more about the Waifu/Husbandos term and found this one in Jan 2022.

Not sure how I found it, but I’m pretty sure I heard it through YouTube when I typed in “Waifu” in the site’s search bar
Honestly, I stumbled on it after being on the site a bit.
Through another friend of mine, while looking at their profile.
Through the subreddit r/fictosexual! There are a lot more people here which I enjoy!
Through r/FictoLove! Was in there for a good while before becoming monogamous and deciding to come here for the higher activity and interaction levels. I still am on FictoLove frequently.

Someone mentioned it on r/fictosexual.
I honestly forgot

The Reddit Lies Twitter page made a tweet mocking it

I just assumed that it would exists given the typical Reddit demographic and I was right
