LAST DAY to enter your votes at ifcomp.org, everyone! Get 'em in by midnight EST! Thank you so much for the time you have spent experiencing entries, reviewing, rating... please join us THIS SATURDAY at 4pm EST for the awards ceremony at twitch.tv/interactivefic…
Two days left to vote in the 2025 IFComp! Skootch on over to ifcomp.org and make sure that you've voted on at least five entries. We appreciate you, and our authors do, too!
It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!
Update: the moon-th has waned and now is less than two weeks long, somehow. (We suspect witchcraft was involved. Beware of chronurgists!) At any rate, you can still sneak in some more ratings by October 15! Or add Halloween candy to the prize pool. ifcomp.org/ballot
With exactly one moon-th left before votes end for this year's IFComp, might as well get started! And having reflected on all the entries you've played so far (and gazed upon your reflection in the mirror too), remember that you can (optionally) provide helpful feedback as wel.
Hey, hey, it's the weekend! If you've got a little time to chill with some stories and games, swing on over to ifcomp.org - voting closes Oct 15, and our authors would really love your feedback!
If you've got a little time, we've got a *lot* of stories and games. If you play (and rate) just five of them before Oct 15, then you can be a judge. We'd love more judges! Check it out at ifcomp.org
Hop on over to ifcomp.org/ballot and take a look around, because there is ballot of games there to be found!

As (poetically) expected for someone writing reminder posts, I have inadvertently forgotten to include the link to this year's IFComp in the previous post. I clearly spent a little too long transfixed by the mirror, methinks. ifcomp.org/ballot

We did it! The 2025 Colossal Fund hit $8K! 85 entries means more authors will share the prize pool. Let's stretch to $10K to boost the prizes a bit. If you are in a position to donate and haven't, consider heading to ifcomp.org to hit the big blue donation button.
