Hi, and welcome to Intfickery, a collection of notes and wips for an Honours in English Literature thesis on interactive fiction and text-based adventure games.
It'll be as informal as they come, and while the main purpose behind setting this thing up is for me to have a way of organising my research effectively, visitors and comments are all very welcome. I'll be posting anything from reviews of IF works/games already played to notes on games I'm working through at the moment, to general theories and links to other sites of interest. I make no promises about type of content nor regularity of updates - I only hope to gradually work my way toward a 15,000 word essay by the end of the year 2009, that:
a) proves that IF and text games are much more worthy of attention, critical as well as popular, than they receive now, and
b) demonstrates just how much fun you can have playing these things.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Feel free to explore! (We're all adventurers here.)
