Interview with a mermaid, Cynthia Rivers
Content warnings: None.
August 29: Author and mermaid enthusiast Carolyn Turgeon interviewed a person with a mermaid soul, named Cynthia Rivers. Rivers has been very active in the online part of the real mermaid community for years. She runs a blog for it. She's an officer in a helpful mermaid group in the virtual reality setting of Second Life. She eventually got herself a mermaid tail, which she wears in her pool. Excerpt from interview:
The mermaid community is separate from the otherkin community. It apparently sprang up with little mutual contact between them.
