Interactive Fiction Competition Opens

The 2004 Interactive Fiction Competition has opened for business. The yearly competition, now celebrating its tenth anniversary, is for short pieces of interactive fiction.

      If you are going to be at SHU in the fall, I hope you'll consider taking my "Writing for the Internet" course (MWF 11am).
