I think it got stolen from the DID community. Some kid's being abused and thinks a fictional character could save them, so they create a persona based on that fictional character. Then people on Tumblr started treating it like their "spirit animal." (lb-lee is informative if you want to stumble down the DID rabbithole.)

It sort of formed concurrently in the DID and Otherkin communities (unsurprisingly, there was a lot of overlap in the early aughties), though the DID community was a bit more accepting, while the majority of Otherkin folks just did not want to be associated with that nonsense (whether or not it's any more or less nonsensical than the whole Otherkin thing in general has been a point of debate for more than a decade). The bored-teenage-snowflake contingent picked it up long before Tumblr, it just really sort of hit the ground running there because the format lends itself much more to being loud in every possible direction than blogging sites and forums do, so it was suddenly uncontained.

My flitting around the edges of soulbonding back around '04 indicated that while some soulbonders were fine with a DID-related definition, quite a few weren't and ascribed more to the "anything fictional exists on an astral plane" idea.

Soulbonders seem like they were far closer to DID than FictionKin do - 'bonders merely claimed they shared headspace with a fictional (and sometimes not fictiona) characters. Fickin seem to claim they are the character.
