Smatterzine - Interactive Fiction e-Zine

A project I've been mulling over and finally started work on is a quarterly or bi-monthly e-zine focused on interactive fiction - parser based games, choice based games, gamebooks, maybe VNs if there's interest. There'll be a few articles about obscure old games that fit the genre, the odd new release, some writing tips, but the centerpiece of each is a download link to a new work - parser based, choice based, maybe a PDF gamebook, maybe a renpy game. Depends.

What form this takes - how long the included game is, how frequently they're released, how much they cost - is dependent on interest and demand. If this kind of thing appeals to you and you'd like to give me a hand, please fill out this survey.

Finished games would also be available through itch.io, though more affordably through the zine.

After a week or so I'll post the results of the survey here, though if you want a more direct reminder there's a mailing list linked to in the survey that you can sign up for, and I'll be covering development there as well.
