1) I consider a SoulBond to be a connection with a character to the point it would warrent the word 'muse'. From there on up to full multiplicity, I call that bonding. Below that, eg, feeling an empathy for a particular character, I do not call that SoulBonding, though many do.
2) Useful, yes, very. Accurate? Not exactly. Often Souls aren't involved and often thre's not much of a 'Bond'. SoulBond makes it sound like the whole twu luv thing. I think the distinction between 'fictionkin' and non fictionkin is a useful one. Fictives have a lot of different issues to contend with. It allows people to recognise each other and discuss these issues. We don't see it as at all divisive. Our origins do not make us better or worse than any other.
