[Air-L] Call for Submissions on Artificial Intimacy

[default friend]

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 at 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-search )

Feel free to reach out with questions.

Best,

Katherine
