.fiction
In the world of SBers, of course, fiction is ever-so-difficult to distinguish from fact. ;) But to all intents and purposes, what you'll find below are fictional or part-fictional accounts of SBing. Submissions can be based on fact, as long as they're in story format; poems are accepted too. As well as stories, we'd also like to see any quotes, interviews or reports from published authors which appear to show that they SoulBond.

soulbonder: the liberation - a white wolf supplement by laura gilkey
A full, playable supplement/rulebook (in .rtf format) to White Wolf's Storyteller RPGs, placing SoulBonders and their SBs into the fictional World of Darkness. Even if you don't roleplay and don't have any interest in doing so, this supplement represents SBing in such a true-to-life way (apart from the obvious fictions created for the game, but even they're thought-provoking...) that it's well worth your time regardless.

the trinity [offsite] by laura gilkey
A fictional foray into a world where SoulBonds can truly come alive, this story shares many of the concepts used in Laura's "Soulbonder: The Liberation" supplement; indeed, she said that if S:tL were to be published, The Trinity would be the intro fiction. ^^

mind games [offsite] by devilrats
A writer discovers it's not just fiction when one of his characters objects to how he's telling her story.

Quotes from writers which seem to demonstrate the presence of SoulBonding. Feel free to contribute your own quotes to this section; they're always much appreciated.


.slanted
Separated at birth from SoulBonding, these accounts seem to echo the concept, often with a slightly new perspective.

the dæmon page
All about dæmons, the shapeshifting animal companions from the His Dark Materials books. This site focuses on people who have dæmons in real life, a concept that seems highly akin to SoulBonding, and also has information on deaths (companions similar to dæmons).
