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. At this point IF authors can sign up to take part in the competition, and everyone can learn how to judge the games when they are released in October of this year. —Interactive Fiction Competition Opens (Slashdot Games)

  • The fall deadline comes up very quickly -- I doubt there'd be much time to accomplish much if we started in the fall. But I'd be happy to beta-test for you...
    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).

  • Maybe we should team up this Fall (hopefully I'll be there) once I'm done taking my IF course this Summer. What say?
