So as you might know, I'm quite passionate about the idea of using entertainment media to get people interested in educational topics. Pineta, who is someone I greatly look up to in the fandom, has a similar passion, and has in fact won awards for his work in science outreach.
His latest project in science communication involves commissioning works of MLP fanfiction that discuss topics related to particle physics, and he's willing to pay around USD$30 per 1000 words for such stories. No science background is required -- the idea isn't to write a science lecture as a story, it's to write an interesting story that attracts viewers and instills in them an interest in some topic related to physics. Pineta will then write up a technical blog explaining the science behind your story.
If you're interested, then click the link above, read up a little on the basics of the concepts, then come up with a short pitch for a story and send it to Pineta. And even if you aren't interested, it'd be really cool if you could share this with as many people as you can!
Osto Vinya nauva ustaina!
