The People’s Republic of Interactive Fiction convened on, Tuesday Sept. 17, 2019. Dan, Zarf, Jheflin, Nickm, Aria, Anj, and Yaron welcomed back returning visitor Chad (@waypostsoftware).  Warning: What follows is probably not proper English, but just my log of notes from the meeting to jog people’s memories: Check out the photos

This book’s style was too close to original except for latex font. We saw many CYOA-style books that were published.
