The Interactive Fiction Community is a group of writers, players, and enthusiasts dedicated to creating and enjoying text-based games that emphasize storytelling and player choice. These games, often referred to as interactive fiction (IF), allow players to navigate narratives through typed commands, making decisions that influence the outcome of the story. This community often collaborates through online forums, competitions, and events like the Interactive Fiction Competition and IF Summit. Members share resources, tools, and techniques for writing and programming IF, fostering a supportive environment for both newcomers and experienced creators.
