My Compy Valentine: A Mini-"Comp", Sponsored by SPAG!
Hello everyone! As you may or may not know, SPAG has just relaunched, and as part of our relaunch festivities, we're holding an event where you, YES YOU, can give back to the community! Here's the details:
Valentine's Day is a time for giving thanks! Kind of like Thanksgiving, but with more baby animals, puns, and painful rhyming verse.
That's why we're seeking "SPAG Valentines": very short IF works in which IF WRITERS show their appreciation to the DEVELOPERS who make their creative works possible. Think of it like a cross between a mini-comp and a speed-IF.
Here are your instructions:
DO:
Choose your Valentine: anyone in the community who helped create your favorite IF language, interpreter, development interface, extension, script, macro, CSS theme or any other component you've used in your IF work (including works in progress)
Use IF tools to create a Valentine's Day greeting for your Valentine
Use your development system / language of choice
Use your dubious poetic skills to praise the fruits of your Valentine's programming labor
Somehow incorporate your Valentine's work into the greeting itself, if possible
Send your completed Valentine's Day greeting or a link to spag.mag.if@gmail.com by February 15 (the day itself is not one for scrambling for deadlines)
DO NOT:
Objectify your Valentine
Reveal long-hidden romantic passion for your Valentine
Miss the Feb. 15 deadline to submit your Valentine's Day greeting!
