File:Ficto-.png|The fictosexual flag. [Image: Flag with 5 stripes: black, gray, purple, gray, black. In the center 3 stripes is a pink circle with a thickish black outline]. Image description by Mod Hermy of Pride-color-schemes. "Background stripes represent the asexuality felt towards anything but fictional characters. The pink hole represents a portal into the media of choice that allows for attraction- the fictional universe is in the circle, and it is filled with love/attraction."
