Bending Reality will be starting a Fan of the Month that will run in the magazine every month. To get this started we need our fans to email us a picture and the name you would like to use. [email protected] we will post each month the new fans to be voted on and also the Fan of the Month. So get to sending in those pics, the first set of voting will be in the July Issue, and then we will have the First Fan of the Month for August and it will continue from there. We love our readers!!!
