Today I placed second out of 6 in the interactive fiction contest I entered . I ' m pleased with the outcome , and flattered by some kind comments I received afterward . One neat thing the IF community does after these online award ceremonies , which I did n't know about beforehand , was that they congregate and play the entries together online , in real - time . It 's a public demonstration of the game , during which you can answer questions about your game .
