median community?

Out of curiousity, are there any communities out there specifically for median/mid-continuum discussion? I know there's this community and the plurality community, but the latter seems more focused on healthy/empowered multiplicity while this community seems focused on multiples (despite what the community information says).

maybe having a separate community for medians would be unnecessary, but I do feel like there are certain issues and topics related to being median that could benefit from its own community... I don't know, I welcome everyone's thoughts on this.

That is true. (We ought to mention that on our faq, also. thanks.) And Jay always reminds me about [livejournal.com profile] lilairen. More ambiguous. There didn't seem to be, though, a lot of people like that on the Vicki(s) discussion. It was much more like you said Not Quite Plural was.

Not necessarily even cases like hers. More like people who give names to the different sides of their personality or use mental constructs to work out internal conflicts. Or people who have voices in their head that they talk to and make decisions with but the voices don't correspond to people or even parts of themself. Or even the soulbonders whose soulbonds are just aspects of their imagination but they treat the characters as though they were real. None of those people could even remotely be considered multiple but in some cases they might find the label of single inappropriate for them.
