===Flags===
The most widely known Ficto- flag was made by Deviantart user Pride-Flags. 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.
