The moon-th has waned and now is less than two weeks long, somehow. (We suspect witchcraft was involved. Beware of chronurgists!) At any rate, you can still sneak in some more ratings by October 15! Or add Halloween candy to the prize pool at ifcomp.org

Hey, hey, it's the weekend! If you've got a little time to chill with some stories and games, swing on over to ifcomp.org - voting closes Oct 15, and our authors would really love your feedback!

If you've got a little time, we've got a *lot* of stories and games. If you play (and rate) just five of them before Oct 15, then you can be a judge. We'd love more judges! Check it out at ifcomp.org

We did it! The 2025 Colossal Fund hit $8K! 85 entries means more authors will share the prize pool. Let's stretch to $10K to boost the prizes a bit. If you are in a position to donate and haven't, consider heading to ifcomp.org to hit the big blue donation button.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which games were your favorite of them all? You've got until October 15 to leave 5 ratings, thus becoming an IFComp judge. (The fancy old-timey wig is optional.) ifcomp.org/ballot

Got plans tomorrow night? Like stories? Browse ifcomp.org/ballot and pick something that fits your mood and schedule! Do that just 5 times before Oct 15, leave a rating for each, and you’re officially an IFComp judge.

🎉 The 31st Annual #IFComp is live! 85 new interactive fiction entries are ready for you to play and judge. (You only need to rate 5 to cast a ballot!) Read more about this year's competition at blog.ifcomp.org Or just dive straight in: ifcomp.org/ballot
