Fictosexual falls under the umbrella of proculsexual. Many asexual people may fantasize about relationships with celebrities or fictional characters, however proculsexual refers to people who feel strong attraction towards these people for an extended period of time, rather than just daydreaming about them, and only feels attraction to people they know they cannot be in a relationship with.
