The International Interactive Fiction Community
In this talk, I describe some details of how these communities have functioned over the years: What forums, chat systems, publications, competitions, directories, archives, and other sorts of institutions and traditions are used to build new aesthetic appreciations of IF, to enable people to learn more about programming, design, and writing, and to to connect IF authors and players. My analysis, which draws on my experience as a member of “the IF community” while also considering online artifacts and discourses could be helpful in other electronic literature communities. It will also consider how existing community activity could help to connect IF more effictively with poets, fiction writers, artists, and and others who work in creative computing.

Interactive Fiction Communities: From Preservation through Promotion and Beyond
The interactive fiction (IF) community has for decades been involved with the authorship, sharing, reading, and discussion of one type of electronic literature and computer game. Creating interactive fiction is a game-making and world-building activity, one that involves programming as well as writing. Playing interactive fiction typically involves typing input and receiving a textual response explaining the current situation. From the first canonical interactive fiction, the minicomputer game Adventure, the form has lived through a very successful commercial phase and is now being actively developed by individuals, worldwide, who usually share their work for free online.
