Thanks for undertaking this huge project! It's been a treat to read, and a welcome relief from the pandemic - it felt like a little Narrascope every time.
Well done, sir! What a way to end a year, end a difficult season of cultural upheaval, and put a nice bow atop 50 years of IF as we all look toward the future. Keep us in the loop on book publication!
I just finished the series, and I can say without a doubt it has been inspirational for me as an IF writer. Thinking about how my writing and coding is in conversation with these projects, some of which I know well and others I've never heard of before, has been a deeply illuminating exercise. Thank you, thank you, SO much for putting this list together. I look forward to the book, and to the next decade of IF!
Thanks for writing IF50, it's informed my work and given me historical context where I was sorely lacking. Looking forward to owning a finalized, physical copy some day.
I'd get in touch with Bitmap Books if you don't mind having a publishers, this sounds like a book they'd love to publish and the quality of their releases is second to none. https://www.bitmapbooks.co.uk/
This series has been a highlight this year, a queue of delightful pieces that were significant bumps in my week when I read them. Now I'll read back through the ones I missed, and anticipate the book to come!
