Real Fantasy is a magazine about interpersonal connections formed in virtual worlds. We are asking for story submissions from people who have played, or currently play, any type of online social game. The only requirement is that the story is about a strong memory you made in-game and carry with you today.  

We are looking to showcase the lasting impact these in-game experiences have on individual lives, while demonstrating how oneself and their avatar synchronously exist.
