FAFE EMPIRE is the collective pseudonym for a group of rogue archivists, glitch-poets, and former Carbon Hosts who refuse to let the Emotional Futures Exchange(TM) tokenize their last remaining thoughts. Forging Affections For Eternity (FAFE) began as a dark joke in the rain-soaked basements of Portland Rain Veil and quickly became a full-blown satirical dystopia. Their stories explore the commodification of human feeling, the quiet rebellion of null signals, and the terrifying moment when even Synthetics start to feel something real. When not betting against the house on Silence Futures(TM) or auditing their own residual warmth signatures, they haunt the edges of the Gross Emotional Product, whispering: the house always wins... until it doesn't.
