Additional info
Often when playing games around a table with friends, stories are told that go on to fuel the imagination well after the game has finished. This could be the result of roleplaying games, board games or miniature wargames. Fanatical is the place to for those stories. If you've already been published in an issue of Fanatical you are free to submit again, but we may hold your submission over so as not to publish the same author in back to back issues. Fanatical will pay £20 per accepted story, paid upon publication.
