History
The festival is intended for lovers and authors of fantasy literature. For a long time, the Slovene literary scene did not have a quality platform, for example, a magazine for fantasy literature or so-called speculative fiction, so in 2016 Celje’s Literary Society started publishing a magazine for speculative fiction Supernova twice a year, which offers space for publishing Slovene and international quality prose and poetry from the field of fantasy literature, which includes fantasy literature, science fiction and related genres. In 2017, Celje’s Literary Society also organized the first Fantasy Literature Festival Fanfest.
