IFComp News

A fantastic year-by-year IFComp retrospective

Brian Rushton, author of last year’s second-placer Color the Truth as well as other work, has written a series of posts to the intfiction.org forums that look back on 22 years of IFComp history. He applies a modern viewpoint throughout, noting the origins of lasting trends and technologies, and tracking the creative velocities of individual IF authors over the years.

I found the whole series an excellent and insightful read, and I’ve gathered all the year-indexed forum threads into the following list. Enjoy:
