this was actually one of the biggest problems I had working on Susurrus Season of Tides. The coders had never worked with intfiction tools and afaict the creative managing director didn't even play intfic
I have worked on too many projects that bill themselves as "narrative-driven" that have no narrative tools at all, tools that can't import/export, tools that *delete my work when I press save*, that would give anyone tendonitis, but especially anyone who has to examine and create text all day.

i continue to wrestle with complicated feelings about the intfiction community. my MO is generally "cut out toxic people and things that make you upset", but if i ditch that community entirely, i also lose my connection with the people i like there, and the events and conversations i enjoy. (1/?)

Finally muting the AI tag on the intfiction forum so I don’t see any posts tagged with that now. I’d hung on for ages, but my patience has run out. It will make the forum a much happier place for me to hang out. Note the users of this forum are generally very against generative AI in creative work.

Answering an anonymous poll on the intfiction forum. The answers in this question don't range far enough back 😜 I first played - and became interested in - interactive fiction back in December 1980, 45 years ago this month. Colossal Cave Adventure on an Apple II borrowed over Christmas.
