Hmmm!
Interesting post on soulbonding here (discusses Star Trek, Elfquest, and fanfic).
This caught my attention through friendsfriends because I was just talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naye about soulbonding, and in Elfquest specifically, in email not too long ago. As a trope, I kinda hate it (no offense to those who like it; it's just that the idea of having someone else in my head is so deeply creepy that I can't handle it portrayed in a positive sort of way). But in EQ, it never bothered me, and I think this post does a good job of articulating why sometimes it works for those of us who are at least mildly squicked by it, and sometimes it doesn't.
