Just linked my author account with the games I already have up on #IFDB ... and saw that someone even wrote a nice review and made an entry for a short game I made last a year. It was mostly experimenting with using #Twine the way I'd draft a short story or poem in a creative writing class-- sounded like it was successful.
The IFDB Awards are now open!

Not technically a shot for #ScreenshotSaturday but I uploaded my first #Twine #textadventure Skyward Sanctuary to the #IFDB database. I will now do the pro thing and keep the site open and eagerly await my first review :D which must be coming any minute now... right? I'm just gonna keep watching.
I'm new to this and hope it all goes smoothly - so much new info! #Interactivefiction with #Zarfian forgiveness scale? I needed that!
A relaxed text adventure for people who value their friends, and like treehouses. You can't lose, and you can't go wrong. "The thing you and your friend Kat wish for most in the world, is a treehouse. Not one of those hanging only half a metre from the ground, or one of those dollhouses made by adults. But a real, small yet fantastic house, with a roof and windows, with shelves, and a quality ladder with no splinters, that you can draw up. Somewhere you can draw on the walls and make a mess until you feel like tidying up on your own. Then Kat has to go to the hospital. She has often been there. This time, as Kat comes home, she is not supposed to go outside at all, or play wildly. You believe that the best thing to do once Kat can go outside again is to visit the treehouse. Because you are, starting right now, going to build the dream treehouse for the two of you."
There's a new feature at IFDB that lets you enter your play time for a game. Pretty neat!
If you finished my game Repeat the Ending, how long did it take you? I'm guessing there's a pretty big spread because of all of the optional paratext. Would love to get some data on this (and consider adding times to some of your faves to help potential players out).
