Hi everyone, I’m commissioning pieces ( 1,000–3 ,000 words) that unpack relationships where the beloved isn’t a flesh- and- blood person — think: * *Fictosexuality / ficto-romantic attachment* (anime characters, game avatars, VTubers, visual-novel crushes * *Tech- mediated intimacy* ( AI companions) or *objectophilia* * Historical or cross- cultural case studies that broaden our lens on “ non- human love” *Pitch me* Send a 2–3-sentence pitch to defaultefriend@gmail.com by *June 3 2025*. Payment is $150-500, depending on the scope of the piece. Publication will be on default.blog ( http://default.blog/ ) , and sent to 22,000 subscribers and advertised to 37,000 followers on Substack. Here's a good example of a piece that worked very well: https://default.blog/p/the-medium-is-the-monster ( https://default.blog/p/the-medium-is-the-monster?utm_source=publication-sear... ) Feel free to reach out with questions.
