Summary/Abstract: Non-existing objects, arbitrary objects, and fictional objects received a lot of philosophical attention lately. My interest here will be with fictional objects only. The point that I am going to make is that in order to articulate the logical principles which govern the discourse on these issues what we need is a sort of free logic.
