Real Fantasy is a magazine about interpersonal connections formed in virtual worlds. We are asking for story submissions from people who have used an avatar in any type of online social game or platform. The only requirement is that your story is about a strong memory you made online and still carry with you today.  

We are looking to showcase the lasting impact these virtual experiences have on individual lives, while demonstrating how oneself and their digital persona synchronously exist.
