[interact-if]

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m delighted to announce that Interact-IF is officially back in business! I (Allie @allieebobo) will be taking the reins as the new mod, and I’m very excited to get this blog up and running again!

First, a heartfelt thank-you to the original mod team for everything they’ve built. Interact-if has become such an invaluable resource and hub for interactive fiction fans and authors alike. It’s a tough act to follow, but I’ll do my best to keep the spirit of this wonderful space alive :)

A little bit more about me: I’m the author of two WIP interactive fiction games, @collegetennisoriginstory and @merrycrisis-if. Interact-if was one of the first blogs/places that I discovered almost three years ago now, and it led me to so many amazing stories, authors, and resources.

When I saw that the blog was going into archive mode, with a call for a new generation of mods, I wanted to do my best to help out. I reached out to the original mod team and worked out a gameplan for the future of Interact-if, which I’d like to share with all of you today.

P.S. If you would like to join me, I’d love to have you on the team! Scroll down to the section on ‘open call for mods’.

Without further ado, here’s the plan!

My goal is to focus on retaining the aspects that made Interact-IF so special: spotlighting diverse authors, and creating a warm, inclusive space to talk about and share wonderful games.

🟢 Active:

Game Updates & Intros: If you’re an author with a new game or demo update, or if you’re organizing a game jam or event you’d like to share with the community, simply tag @interact-if in your posts, and I’ll reblog them. It would also be helpful if you added tags stating the IF's genre (e.g. horror, romance), has a demo/no demo.

Themed Author Features: I’ll continue the tradition of spotlighting authors and games based on monthly themes (e.g. Pride Month, Disability Month). These interviews are such a great way of celebrating diversity and inclusivity in the IF community, and I’d love to keep these going! Stay tuned for a detailed post on this soon!

Community Spotlight: Once every quarter, I’ll also do a call for reader recs around certain categories/themes (e.g. Fave RO, Fave Worldbuilding/setting, Fave plot-twist etc.) and compile these recommendations to share. Think of it as a bulletin of crowdsourced faves and a way of sharing a little note about an IF you love!

🟡 Remain open/active, but not modded:

Game directory: The Interact-IF repository of games (excel) will remain open for authors to update/list their games and/or readers to discover their next read. (Feel free to continue to update/populate the repository, though do note it will remain completely crowd-sourced/author-updated).

Discord: The discord will remain open and active for discussions, resource sharing, and casual chats, though again, this will not be officially modded (though I, and some of the original mods like roast, may be active from time to time)

🔴 Not active:

Asks: I will not be answering asks except for specific submissions (e.g. for author features, reader recommendations etc.). If you would like to ask for specific game recommendations, or have questions/just wanna chat, the discord channel is a great place to do just that! :)

Keeping track of events/game updates: As mentioned, I’ll rely on authors / readers to tag me in updates posts and/or flag any games with questionable content/anything that might need my attention, as I won't be able to search out update posts or do any extensive vetting.

Open call for mods:

Finally, I’d love to have some company! If you’re interested in helping out—whether with reblogs, interviews, or brainstorming new features—please reach out. Having a small team would make this space even more vibrant!

Thank you for your support, your enthusiasm, and for being part of what makes Interact-IF such a special corner of the internet! :)

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how Interact-If can be improved, feel free also to drop the blog a direct message or an ask. I look forward to getting to know all of you better. Here's to an awesome year of interactive fiction (and many more!)

Announcement: A Wild DIPPLINSHIPPING HYPE WEEK appeared!

As you may know, the Indigo Disk DLC released on December 14th, 2023. In anticipation of the upcoming 1 year anniversary, we're banding together to celebrate the wonderful conclusion of the DLC storyline and all of the swoony & angsty moments of dipplinshipping as a whole!

This event and its prompts are based entirely on community ideas and voting. According to final responses, most dipplinshipping community members prefer to celebrate from Saturday, December 14th, 2024 (Indigo Disk Anniversary Date) to Friday, December 20th, 2024.

Event Guidelines:

Any art form is welcome. Whether you want to draw, paint, write, create music, or so on - we love and encourage it!

Participation is entirely up to the creator. While the official start and end dates of the celebration week are outlined, you are more than welcome to release submissions at your own pace and liking. If you only want to do 1 or 2 prompts, no worries! If you want to do all 7, have at it! Just make sure you're having fun. :)

Please mark your content accordingly and remain mindful of community safety and comfort. I plan to promote all content that is created for this event, but will not be promoting inappropriate themes (e.g., NSFW, violent/graphic content, inappropriate treatment of minors or pokemon, or any other related themes that may be questionable or discomforting). Off theme submissions will also not be promoted (e.g., OC shipping).

How to Submit:

Use the Tumblr hashtags: #dipplinshipping, #dipplinshippinghypeweek2024.

Submission Link for AO3 Collection.

Have fun!!! I can't wait to celebrate with you. <3

Special shoutouts to @mimilovesfurret for suggesting this event idea, and to @kekstala, @mandachuart, and @tuttiflutie for co-creating the lovely infographic above on short notice!

With love,

dipplinduo

New Admin Announcement

We are happy to announce one of our long-time followers, and fan of the ship, has agreed to join the Admin team to help keep the blog active. Please join us all in a big welcome to @jinrosemoon!! Welcome Jin!

As some of you know our admin favorites post is full, so we're sharing some of Jin's faves here in the announcement post.

Absence by Ciule

E | Complete | 147k

She fed the green flash of silent death into the Time-Turner, willing it to go somewhere, to a time where she could change all that had happened, a time where she could stop this madness. A time where she could put an end to him too. But, as it happened, he had other ideas.

Peremo by virennia

Not Rated | Complete | 129k

When Hermione gets stuck in the 1950's, she has no choice but to live her life. And then, she meets Tom. *completed*

Infinite Spin by seollem

[also a Mod April fave!]

E | WIP | 114k

All the screens flashed black and white simultaneously, scoreboards blinking excitedly, the same glorious name at the top of each list. LordVoldemort. (90s Gamer AU)

Nothing Like the Sun   by orphan_account

M | Abandoned but Worth it | 41K

Riddle was a model student, ostensibly, and most everyone could vouch for him being the nicest Slytherin that they knew, but Hermione had always felt that his polite demeanor was rather insincere. How nice could he be, really, if he cornered his friends in dodgy alleys and caused them inexplicable pain? (Or, Hermione follows the Muggle admonition that she keep her enemies closer a little too strictly to the letter.)

Soaked, Smoked, Freezing by backbiter

E | One shot | 7k

Tom Marvolo Riddle always gets what he wants. He observes, he plots, he strikes. And when destiny leads him to a mysterious woman surrounded by a cornucopia of treasures, he realizes that even setbacks tend to work in his favour. Yes, nothing could ever go over his head or catch him by surprise. Nothing at all

Tread softly, Fraulein by amatviktoriacuram

[Mod Haus also loves this one]

E | One Shot | 4K

“The Oberstleutnant likes his secretaries smart. You’ll do well, Fraulein Granger.” Or the one in which Dumbledore is a Western agitator wanting to bring down the most infamous hunter of the Stasi, the Dark Lord. He sends in his best agent, Hermione Granger, but is she his agent, after all?

[hannahelatham]

A couple announcements!

First: oexas and oexasart is now hannahelatham! I wanted to consolidate all my commercial and personal work together, and felt a rename was necessary - I'll also be opening up a website and portfolio next year.

Secondly, and more excitingly, my patreon (now also hannahelatham) is reopening for a month in January! I'll be discounting the monthly fee for new members joining, and there'll be a new fitzloved duo print, shop discounts, and a bunch of other work from the last few months to see, along with access to my backlog of work.

Third: I have a redbubble account! If you want any stickers, art blocks, or other miscellaneous merch then head on over :)

[pow-creations-headcanons]

Hello anons! I got a prompt for you all!

How would the Outsiders feel about some little rats scurrying about the clearing? Let us know what would happen!

[bipocselfship-archive]

The BIPOC Self Ship Community is now approved! Please let me know if you'd like to be invited by replying with a "💖" emoji! ^^

[best-curse-word-tournament]

I have successfully gone through all submissions!! Out of 223 submissions, 153 curse words will go into the tournament. Some of these words were repeats (y'all know which one), and others were removed for falling outside of the category I'd defined in the original post. (Any and all words of crass meanings, origins, and uses.) I apologize to anyone whose submissions did not make it into this tournament. I do not know if I will run a second round, but if I do, feel free to resubmit!

In the meantime, I will post the bracket for the curse words later today! The first few polls will go out sometime Monday.

[berriuccino]

Attention.

Since some people can already percieve me as having clogged up the #squirrel and hedgehog-related tags, I've made my own tag just to avoid clogging further.

Please follow #berri's sah hyperfixation if you want more SaH content from me.

[narutorarepaireventhub]

Announcement!

As this event comes to a close, We want to thank everyone that was able to spread the word and participate in this event!

Don’t worry though! Late submissions are allowed until July the 8th. Just remember to @ this blog, submit your response to the blog directly if you want us to see your lovely work!

Thank you again!

THE OFFICIAL FRYE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

HELLO EELIES!

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL POST OF THE FRYE PRESIDENTIAL (OR LEADER) CAMPAIGN.

As you know, the “Who is the best leader?” Splatfest will be happening next month!   

9/9 to 9/11

So, Frye has decided to officially move her campaign towards the public eye! She wants everyone to know she sees you, and wants to bring glory to Splatsville!

 Frye pushes for greater change and the stoking of fun in Splatsville, especially regarding Splatfests! It seems Splatfest officials and the Splatfest machine have not been running the event very well in her favour. She wishes to give to the people, and challenge the status quo while ensuring everyone continues to have a good time!

This campaign is to spread the good word of Frye’s incredible resolve, befitting a future leader of both Splatsville and Splatlands as a whole! She has lots of experience, and is good natured, fun, and confident—natural aspects you’d look for in an amazing leader.

 For all Eelies in support of this campaign, please spread the word about how wonderful a vote for Frye would truly be! Feel free to spread our Persuasive Content (NOT PROPOGANDA... totally) and vocally push for Frye as a candidate! 

Thank you, and happy splatting!
